LOGINAmara Cross sacrificed everything for her Alpha husband—taking a silver bullet that permanently weakened her wolf, enduring a pregnancy that nearly killed her, and shrinking herself for five years hoping to earn his love. Instead, she found him with his mistress and watched her five-year-old son call another woman "mommy." Broken and discarded, she walked away from the pack that never valued her. Three years later, Amara returns as a powerful tech mogul worth millions—stunning, confident, and untouchable. Everything her ex-husband said she'd never be. But her carefully constructed walls face two threats: Damien, who suddenly wants her back now that she's successful, and Lucian Volkov—a ruthless Lycan mafia king who's also her second-chance mate. Lucian is possessive, dominant, and refuses to accept her rejection. He sees through her armor to the terrified woman beneath who's scared of being destroyed again. Caught between a past that broke her and a future she's afraid to want, Amara must decide: will she let fear keep her alone forever, or will she risk everything to reclaim not just her power, but her heart? Sometimes the greatest strength is choosing to trust again.

Thinking about things I shouldn't be thinking about.I rolled over. Grabbed Lucian's photograph from the nightstand. The one I held every night.Except I hadn't held it last night. Or the night before.When had I stopped?I looked at his face now. Gold eyes. Sharp jaw. That smile that made my heart stop."I miss you," I whispered. "God, I miss you so much."And I did. The ache was still there. The emptiness. The constant reminder that he was gone.But something else was there too. Something I didn't understand. Didn't want to understand.I set the photograph down. Touched my wrist. The spot where Kang had held it earlier. During the bath.Why did I keep doing that? Why did my skin still feel warm there? Like his touch had left a mark.This was wrong. So wrong.I loved Lucian. I did. With everything in me. He was my mat

Pushed open the door.Kang stood beside the bed. Shirtless. Trying to pull off his pants. His face twisted in pain. The bandages around his chest were loose. Hanging."Uncle Kang! What are you doing?""Trying to—" Kang grimaced. "Trying to get cleaned up. I can't—I can't stand smelling like a hospital anymore.""You're supposed to call for help! Mom said no moving without—""I know what your mom said. But I'm a grown man. I should be able to take a damn shower without—" He tried to bend. Gasped. Nearly fell.Kai caught him. "Stop! You're going to hurt yourself worse!""I'm fine—""You're not fine! Stay here. I'm getting Mom.""Kai, don't—"But Kai was already running. Down the hall. Down the stairs. "MOM! MOM!"Amara appeared from the kitchen. "What? What's wrong?""Uncle Kang! He's trying to take a sh
Chapter 61: Moving InSt. Mary's Hospital - One Week LaterAmaraI stood outside Kang's room. Hand on the door.One week unconscious. Machines keeping him alive. Doctors saying "stable" and "wait."I was tired of waiting.The door opened. Dr. Reeves smiled. "Ms. Castellanos. Perfect timing. He's awake."My heart jumped. "He is?""Just woke up. He's asking for you. And the boy."Guilt twisted sharp in my chest. "Can we see him?""Briefly. He's still very weak."I turned to Kai in the waiting room. "Baby. He's awake."Kai shot up. Ran past me into the room.I followed slower.Kang lay in the bed. Eyes open. Pale. Weak. But alive."Uncle Kang!" Kai rushed to the bedside. "You're okay!"Kang's eyes found Kai. Something in his face softened. "Hey, kid. You alright?""I'm fine. Because of you." Kai's voice cracked. "You took the bullet. Why?""Because you're a good kid. And good kids don't deserve to die." Kang tried to smile. Winced. "Couldn't let your mom lose you. She's already lost enou

Over and over and over.Then the screaming started. Students running. Officers moving. SWAT rushing in."WHAT HAPPENED?" I grabbed the nearest officer. Shook him.
