LOGINAiden's PerspectiveThe house had become unbearably silent. There had once been laughter here, the sounds of servants coming and going, the sounds of Blue playing. But now, there was nothing.I sat alone in the dark living room, staring blankly at the untouched dinner on the table. Everything had become cold. It was just like my whole life was being mocked by the cold dinner.I lowered my head and laughed softly. How pathetic, the former Alpha of Half Moon Pack. The man people used to admire. The man who thought he had everything.What a joke. I had nothing.Blue wasn't my daughter. Even now, the truth still felt unreal. Sometimes I would wake up from nightmares and think it had all been a misunderstanding. That Blue would run into my arms and that my life hadn't been destroyed.But reality was cruel, Blue wasn't mine. Not by blood or by fate. And Haven had lied to me, manipulated me, destroyed everything.My marriage was destroyed, and so was my family and reputation. And the cruele
Percy's POVThree days had passed since Rue, Cole, and Amelia united against me. I couldn't in good conscience just sit idly by and watch Amelia continue to suffer. I knew I was also in a serious state but if I could save Amelia, then my life was worth it.I couldn't bear the thought of Cole living without his mate while I was alive and able to help him. I couldn't live with that guilt.At four in the morning, while Rue slept peacefully beside me, Slowly, I leaned down and kissed her forehead then carefully slipped out of bed."Prepare the car." I told my beta who was waiting outside.His eyes reddened."Miss Rue won't like this.""I’ll live…” I said “And she’ll forgive you if I dont.”Dr. Elias Virel nearly exploded when he saw me."Absolutely not!" His voice echoed through the medical wing. "NO! I refuse!"He threw the file onto the table."Your blood bond backlash is unstable and your old injuries haven't fully healed. And now you want to proceed with this?"I sat calmly. "Can it
Rue’s POV.The next morning, Dr. Elias Virel arrived. The moment he examined Percy, he frowned and sighed heavily.Percy sat calmly on the sofa. "Is it serious?"Dr. Virel looked like he wanted to strangle his patient. "Serious?"His voice rose."Do you know how many times I've wanted to throw you into a cell and lock you up?"I sat upright immediately. "What’s wrong?"Dr. Virel rubbed his forehead. "His blood bond backlash, he has never stopped preparing for the marrow donation."Dr. Virel glared at Percy."He has been secretly continuing the blood-forming treatments. He reduced the dosage after your reconciliation, but he never stopped."My face turned pale. "Percy..."Percy remained silent.Dr. Virel continued. "His old injuries from the fire, the blood bond backlash and the donation preparation. Each one is enough to put pressure on his body. But Percy insists on combining all three."I stared at Percy and he avoided my eyes. And suddenly, anger rose inside me, mostly because I wa
Rue’s POVVanessa was still on the ground. Fully collapsed in the humiliating position she was in. Percy’s killing intent was so strong that it made everyone shiver in fear.Percy’s Alpha pressure still lingered in the air like a storm that hadn’t fully decided whether to leave.Her face was pale.“I… I was wrong,” Vanessa stammered.Her voice shook.“I didn’t mean it like that. I was just… reminding you of pack regulations.”I almost laughed. Reminding?Percy’s expression didn’t change. His wolf eyes were still glowing.“As if attacking us in a fire wasn't enough, you decided to come and attack my mate while we walk?” he asked.Vanessa flinched at the word mate.“I didn’t…”“You did.”He took one step forward and the ground seemed to sink under his presence. Even I felt it. The awareness that Percy could end an argument by simply deciding it had lasted too long.Vanessa swallowed hard.“I have rights under the pack’s jurisdiction,” she said quickly, scrambling for control. “If you ac
Rue’s POVI stared at the fluffy silver guardian spirit doll sitting proudly on the highest shelf. Honestly, it looked so silly that I immediately wanted it.Percy wasn't looking away, he was staring at it.I blinked. "You really do like it."His eyes immediately shifted away. "No."He sighed helplessly. Then, after several seconds, he quietly spoke."When I was young…during inheritance training, my room was next to the nursery. One day, I saw one."His lips curved faintly."A guardian spirit doll.” he paused then continued. ”I thought it was ugly."I burst out laughing. "Ugly?""It was but I liked it." His ears reddened slightly. " So I borrowed it.""Without permission?""...""Percy!"He looked away. "I planned to return it."I laughed so hard tears almost appeared."That's adorable."His expression darkened. "It wasn't. The elders found it and they destroyed it.""They said…" His voice became flat. "'A future Alpha shouldn't cling to sentimental desires. That weakness begins with
Rue’s POVWhen we were done after a heavy set of minutes, we heaved to catch our breaths.The world around us seemed to return bit by bit, the chatter from distant stalls, the faint sound of music drifting through the market. His hand was still wrapped around my waist. He hadn't let go, neither had I.Standing beside him now, feeling his fingers intertwined with mine, I realized something. Love wasn't always grand declarations. Sometimes, love was simply this."You know," I said teasingly, "we have to work on our self control."He coughed lightly. "True."We re-arranged ourselves and started walking back to the market. His fingers tightened around mine and neither of us said anything else. Words weren't necessary.The night market stretched before us, lively and bustling. Couples wandered around together. Children ran past with glowing balloons. Food stalls filled the air with delicious smells.For the first time in what felt like forever, I wasn't thinking about problems or blood b

Aiden’s POVThe sound of her voice, detached, calm and out of emotion replayed in my mind like a song stuck on repeat.Stay away from me. Focus on Haven. She’s the one you chose. Live with that.In a way, her words hurt me more than they ever could. I had stood there, staring at her retreating figu
Rue’s POVPercy turned to me immediately, shrugging off his coat and draping it over my shoulders.“Rue,” his voice softened. “Are you alright? Did he hurt you?”I closed my eyes, letting the warmth of his coat seep into my skin.“I… I’m fine,” I whispered, though my throat was raw. “I just… I just
Rue’s POVI had been busy for the past few weeks, not even getting the chance to go shopping. But today, I had time.The mall was moderately crowded, with opulent people walking around, flashing their designer brands while drawing large carts.
