KAREN’S POV

The room was bathed in soft light, the kind that softened edges and made the world feel hushed, like it was holding its breath. I lay curled beneath the thick blanket, the weight of Jackson’s arm wrapped over me, his chest pressed warm against my back. His breath was slow and steady against the nape of my neck, a rhythm I had memorized by now—each exhale a quiet reassurance that he was here, that we were safe.

The window was cracked open just enough to let in the scent of damp earth and pine, the aftermath of an evening rain. The air was cool, almost crisp, carrying with it the faintest whisper of the forest beyond.

It was the kind of quiet I had only ever known in Shadow Moon—deep and unbroken, the kind that settled into your bones. But here, in Blue Cross Pack territory, it felt different. Fragile. Like it could shatter if I breathed too loudly.

I turned my head slightly, taking in the room around us. The bed was small, the mattress lumpy beneath us, the sheets thin from

    LAILA’S POVThe pack house shrank in the side mirror, its towering silhouette dissolving into the distance as the car carried us farther away. I kept my eyes on the mirror until the pack house grew too small to see—not even a shadow remained. Alex stood where we’d left him, hand raised in farewell. I didn’t look away until he vanished from sight.I sat back, folded my arms across my chest, and let out a quiet breath. My chest felt tight, like I’d left a part of me behind. Maybe I had.“Are you okay?” Jackson asked from the front seat. His voice was casual, but I knew he was watching me through the rearview mirror.I gave a soft shrug. “Yeah. Just… tired, I guess.”Karen reached over and squeezed my hand. “You were amazing back there. He needed you. You gave him the strength to stand.”I didn’t respond right away. My throat felt thick. I glanced at Karen, then out the window again. Trees blurred past as the sun climbed higher, spreading gold across the horizon—making everything look wa

    ALEX’S POVThe golden warmth of the morning sun spilled across my skin, coaxing me awake. For a blissful second, I lingered in that hazy space between sleep and consciousness, the scent of dew-kissed grass and distant pine filling my lungs. Then reality crashed in.My eyes flew open, darting to the empty space beside me.Laila.A fist of panic slammed into my chest, stealing my breath. Had she left? Without a word? Without letting me memorize her face one last time?“Laila?” My voice came out rough, sleep still clinging to the edges. I pushed myself up too fast, and fire lanced through my ribs—a brutal reminder of the fight. I gritted my teeth, but the pain didn’t matter. Only she did.Then I saw her. There, framed by the sunrise, she stood by the window. The light painted her in gold, catching the soft waves of her hair, the curve of her shoulders. She looked like something out of a dream—one I never wanted to wake from.Relief flooded me, so fierce it made my throat tight.She turne

    LAILA’S POVI watched Alex carefully, the light in his eyes softer now, clearer. It was hard to believe this was the same man I met months ago—bruised by his father’s cruelty, caged by fear and duty. Back then, he was a man shackled by shadows. Now… he stood tall, even if slightly swaying from exhaustion and bruises, a leader reborn.I was proud of him. Immensely proud. The strength it took to stand up to his father, to break free of that dark legacy—not everyone could do it. But he did. And he did it not for glory or revenge, but for his people. For a better future.He caught me watching him and gave a tired smile. “Would you… like to come inside?”I hesitated—not because I didn’t want to, but because I knew I had to ask first.Even though he was my mate, even though our bond was real and deep, I was still a minor in our world. And rules were rules. I looked to my father and Jackson.Jackson met my gaze, understanding and trust in his eyes. He gave a short nod. My father—Alpha Xavier

    ALEX’S POVThe moment Jackson shoved me out of the way, everything slowed. I watched in stunned disbelief as Grayson’s claws missed me by a breath—only to tear into Jackson instead.And Jackson—gods—didn’t even flinch. He moved with ruthless precision, twisting away and slicing Grayson’s throat open with one clean, savage motion.Grayson’s eyes widened in shock, choking on his own blood as he dropped to his knees… then collapsed. Dead. Just like that.I didn’t move for a second. I couldn’t. Because for the first time in my life—he was gone. The man who ruled my world through violence and manipulation. The tyrant who tried to mold me into his image. The father who never saw me as enough unless I bled for him.Grayson. Dead. And Noah… my brother, gone too.I should’ve felt grief. But what I felt… was relief. Pure, gut-wrenching relief. Like a chain had been ripped from my chest.The door burst open with a crash, splinters flying.I turned just as Logan, my Beta, came storming in—and beh

    JACKSON’S POVThe world narrowed to the pounding of my heart as I tore through the hallways, blood roaring in my ears, each step a promise. Smoke curled in the air, and the scent of battle clung to my skin—but I barely noticed. All I saw was red. All I felt was the rage burning in my chest.He took her. He hurt my mate. And now… I was going to end him.Grayson’s study door loomed ahead—still intact, untouched. Coward.I didn’t hesitate. With a roar, I slammed my shoulder into the heavy wood. It cracked off its hinges and burst open with a satisfying crash. Papers flew, books tumbled from shelves, and Grayson, seated behind his polished desk, looked up with the calm arrogance of a man who thought he still had the upper hand.“Ah,” he said, slowly rising, adjusting the cuffs of his shirt like we were about to have a damn business meeting. “The little pup finally finds his bite.”I stalked toward him, fists clenched, my wolf snarling just beneath the surface.“You made a mistake,” I said
