Nathaniel's POV

The guards pulled us apart before I could rip Kane's throat out. My wolf was howling for blood, for justice, for the right to protect what was mine.

"You're insane," I snarled, struggling against Harrison's hold. "You can't just steal someone's child!"

"I'm not stealing anything." Kane straightened his torn shirt, his composure already returning. "I'm saving a life. Something you clearly couldn't be bothered to do."

"I didn't know!" The admission tore from me. "I didn't know she was pregnant when I rejected her!"

The courtyard went silent. Even Ella looked shocked.

"What?" she whispered.

I turned to her, seeing the woman I'd destroyed, the mother of my child, and let the truth spill out. "You tried to tell me that night. Before the rejection ceremony. You said you needed to talk to me about something important, but I was too focused on Vivian, on t

    Chapter 27: The Hospital Gambit Ella POVThe helicopter's rotor wash nearly knocked me over as we landed on Ashworth Memorial's helipad. Kane cradled Luna like she might shatter, his blood-soaked arms trembling."Move!" Dr. Sarah barked at the trauma team waiting with a gurney. "Gunshot wound to the chest, cardiac arrest reversed once, she's barely holding on."They transferred Luna with practiced efficiency. Kane refused to let go of her hand, jogging alongside the gurney as they rushed her inside.I followed on unsteady legs, my pregnant belly heavy and awkward. The baby kicked hard, sensing my fear."Ella." Nathaniel's hand steadied me from behind. "You shouldn't be here. This is Theron's hospital.""Luna would want me here." I kept moving toward the elevator. "And she saved Dr. Sarah's life. I'm not abandoning her now."The doors closed on us, the sterile smell making my stomach turn. Kane stared at his sister's pale face, his jaw working."She can't die," he said, voice shattere

    Nathaniel POVThe blood on the floor wasn’t Harrison’s.Luna jumped in front of Dr. Sarah right when the bullet came. She collapsed into Sarah’s arms, her white shirt blooming red like a dying rose.For one heartbeat, the world stopped.Then Kane saw it was his sister.The sound that tore from his throat wasn’t human. It was pure, shredded agony—the kind that made my wolf whimper and cower inside me.LUNA!He crossed the cabin in a blur, shoving bodies aside. His hands shook violently as he lifted her. Her blood soaked him instantly, warm and endless.No. No, no, no. The words broke in his throat. Not you. Not you too.Kane. Dr. Sarah was already moving, a medical bag hitting the floor. Put her down. Now. I need to see the wound.She’s dying. My sister’s dying. Kane’s eyes were feral, unhinged. Alpha power rolled off him in waves; the cabin walls groaned and trembled.She’s not dead yet.

    Chapter 25: Mexican StandoffElla POVThe window exploded inward.Glass rained down on Vivian's perfect hair as she spun toward the sound, gun tracking the movement. Through the shattered frame, a massive dark wolf landed in a crouch.Kane.Even in wolf form, I recognized him. The silver-tipped fur. The ice-blue eyes that found mine instantly, assessing, calculating.Vivian's gun swung between Kane and me. "How touching. The obsessed Alpha comes to save his precious baby mama." Her finger tightened on the trigger. "But you're too late, Kane. This ends now.""Lower the weapon, Vivian." Kane's voice rolled through the cabin, all Alpha commands. He shifted mid-sentence, standing naked and unbothered in the glass. "This isn't the plan.""Plans change." Vivian's mask was cracking, her composed exterior fracturing. "Your father promised me Nathaniel. Promised me Luna status. Instead, I'm watching you chase after some rejected nobody who spread her legs for two Alphas and can't even figure o

    Nathaniel POVYou can't be serious.Ella turned from the window, her jaw tight—that stubborn look I knew meant she wouldn't budge. I'm dead serious.Your dad kicked you out. I kept my cool, though I was fuming inside. He picked Theron's politics over his pregnant daughter. You don't owe him crap.I know what he did.Then why even think about this? I stepped closer, needing her to see things clearly. Kane's counting on this. He knows you can't leave someone in danger.That's why we're not leaving. She looked me straight in the eye. We're walking right into his trap and setting it off from the inside.Harrison coughed by the door. Ella, check this out. He opened his laptop, typing like crazy. I've been watching what Theron's pack and Kane's pack are saying. Your dad's kidnapping might not be what it seems.What do you mean?Take a look. He turned the screen. Bank stuff scrolled by. Three days ago, Richard Montgomery sent half a million to some account overseas, tied to Theron Ashworth.

    Chapter 23: Blood and ConfessionsElla POVMy father's face stared back at me. Bound. Gagged. Blood running from a cut above his eye. His expression was pure terror.Below the photo: *You have 24 hours to return what you stole, or Alpha Richard Montgomery dies screaming. Choose: your mate's father, or your freedom.—K*The warmth drained from my body."My father." The words came out hollow. "Kane has my father.""We don't know that it's real." Harrison moved closer. "This could be staged. Your father's been working with Theron against Nathaniel for months. This might be a theater designed to lure you back.""Or it might be real, and Kane is torturing him."Nathaniel's jaw clenched. "Your father threw you out. Chose his political position over his pregnant daughter. You don't owe him a rescue.""He's still my father.""Who abandoned you when you needed him most.""I know what he did!" I pulled away from Nathaniel, anger giving me strength. "You think I don't know? You think I've forgott

    Nathaniel POVI didn't think so. I just moved.One second I was fighting off Kane's wolves, the next I was running full-speed toward the cliff edge. Ella's scream cut through the night as she and Luna disappeared over the side.My wolf surged forward. I launched myself into empty air.The fall felt endless. The wind roared past my ears. Then I hit water so cold it drove the air from my lungs.I surfaced, gasping, scanning desperately through the darkness and spray. The rapids churned around me, trying to drag me under."Ella!" My voice barely carried over the rushing water.A flash of movement downstream. Luna's dark hair. She was struggling to keep Ella's head above water, but the current was too strong.I swam hard, letting the rapids carry me faster. My hand closed around Ella's arm just as a wave pulled her under. I hauled her up, wrapping one arm around her chest while I fought to keep us both surfaced.She wasn't moving."Ella!" I shook her. Nothing. "Ella, breathe!"Luna grabbe
