Mag-log in*Adele's point of view*It was about a day and a half later when the world outside the window began to feel familiar. Where the world outside began to look like something I recognised. At first, it was just a feeling, then it became clearer. The turns I saw, even the roads and the way the air looked just before the trees thickened.My chest tightened slightly as realization settled in.We were driving through my city. I pressed my gaze harder against the glass, searching and hoping to catch something I deeply had a connection to. But the streets were empty. Not even a single wolf in sight. Not even a trace.A strange and heavy silence hung in the air, which felt wrong. Then I saw it. The buffet. The same place where everything had gone wrong. Where I was taken. The same place I had got to realize that Aurora had decided to stab me in the back while joining hands with Claire. My stomach twisted as we passed it, the memory flashing through my mind too fast for me to stop it. I forced my
*Claire's point of view*I rested my head gently against the cool glass of the window as the car kept moving forward. The steady hum of the engine filled the silence, while trees rushed past in a blur of green and shadow. My eyes followed them without really seeing, while my thoughts drifted far ahead of us.We were close now. Only about a day away from Adele’s pack. My heart beat faster at the thought, each pulse sharp and eager. Excitement curled inside me, mixing with something darker. Something that made my lips twitch slightly. It was almost over. Soon, I would erase the nightmare named Adele from my life for good.I turned my head slowly and looked at Alpha Damien. A soft smile formed on my lips as I studied him. He looked completely focused, his hands firmly in place, his eyes fixed ahead. There was a hard determination in his face, something strong and unshaken which drew me in. For a moment, I simply watched him, taking in every detail without shame.“Babe,” he said suddenly,
*Adele's point of view*"Something is wrong."Demarion’s voice slipped into my head, sounding low, but there was a sharp edge to it that made my chest tighten.I straightened a little, the last trace of sleep gone. My senses snapped awake."Huh? What’s wrong?" I asked quickly, my thoughts reaching for him.Before he could answer, another voice rushed in."Luna? Is that you?"I froze. My eyes widened as more voices followed, one after another, crowding into my mind."Hey! The Luna can talk to us now!""Luna, we miss you! We can’t wait for you to come back!"A small, excited voice broke through, soft but full of joy. "Luna! Hurry home!"My breath caught. The warmth in their voices wrapped around me, unexpected and overwhelming.Then Cindy’s voice came in, loud and playful as always. "Yeah girl! Move it! This pup is not coming out until the godmother gets back, so hurry up!"A small, shaky laugh almost escaped me, but it never had the chance."Enough." Demarion’s voice cut through everyt
*Serenity's point of view*As I watched Adele from a distance, my gaze stayed fixed on her. Even from here, I could feel the storm inside her. It moved through her like waves that refused to settle. Her thoughts brushed loudly and restlessly against me. I could hear every doubt, every question. I could see the quiet war between her heart and her mind.A small smile formed on my lips.She had the heart of a queen. It beat with care, with warmth, with a need to protect. Her mind was sharp, always searching, always trying to understand. And beneath it all, she carried both courage and humility, like a young princess learning her place in the world.Everything she needed to become a Luna was already within her.Not many could admit fear. Not out loud. Not when it mattered. It took strength to say those words, to face them instead of hiding, and she had done that. I was proud of her. She did not even realize it, but the moment she recognized Demarion as her mate, her path had already begun
*Adele's point of view*"I… I’m afraid. No… that’s not even it. I’m terrified, Serenity," I admitted, my voice barely stable.Her eyes stayed calmly on me, like she was searching beyond what I was letting out. "Terrified of what?"I let out a slow breath, my fingers tightening in my lap. "Of what I might become if I kill her." The words felt heavy as they left my mouth. "I mean… I just killed a wolf, and I didn’t even hesitate. I didn’t feel anything." My chest tightened. "Somewhere out there, his family could be waiting for him to come home.""Who? Him?" Serenity asked, lifting her hand and pointing a finger at who I was referring to.I followed her finger, and my gaze landed on the lifeless wolf, still hidden beneath my clothes. Before I could say anything, Serenity burst into laughter, loud and unrestrained like she had found the whole thing hilarious.I quickly raised my hand to quiet her, panic flashing through me, but then I froze. No one else reacted. No one turned. No one even
*Demarion’s point of view*I felt something I had not felt in a long time. I felt relieved. No… more than that. I felt happy. It was a feeling that settled deep in my chest, warm and calming, growing stronger the more I thought about her. About us.I had spoken to my mate. Even now, it didn’t feel entirely real. Until that moment, I hadn’t understood just how much I missed her. How much I needed her. How much I wanted her close to me again. But now I knew. And there was no going back from that truth.A slow breath left me as I sat there, staring ahead, my thoughts filled with her face, her voice, the way she looked at me. I couldn’t wait to have her back. This time, I would not hold back. I was going to claim her.Not out of force or out of pride, but because she was mine… and I was hers forever. The idea didn’t scare me. It simply felt right. For the first time, everything felt clear. I knew exactly what I wanted without any doubts or confusion. I wanted Adele. Just her.I didn’t car
*Adele's point of view* We stayed like that for several long seconds. Neither of us saying anything. Just making eye contact and breathing unevenly.The silence stretched, thick and heavy. It felt like the air itself was watching us. I did not know what was running through his mind, but I forced m
*Demarion's point of view* Adele stood frozen in front of me.She did not move. She barely breathed. Her eyes stayed locked on mine, wide and unsure, like a cornered deer that did not know which way to run.The sight of her made my chest tighten.I hated it.I looked down at her and felt it again,
*Demarion's point of view* Adele came down the stairs, and the sound of her heels tapping against the steps reached my ears before I even saw her.I pulled back from Serena the moment I heard it.My eyes lifted.And there she was.Adele.For one second, the world slowed. Her body went rigid on the
*Demarion's point of view*The last thing she felt before darkness claimed her was my lips brushing softly against hers. I kissed her gently and softly as I tried to be careful with her. As if she were made of fragile glass. Then I lifted her into my arms.The moment her body settled against my che
