Evelyn's pov

I woke up to the sunlight blaring outside my window, the blinds already drawn, allowing the Sun to shine through my room. I closed my eyes back and groaned before my hands roamed around the bed, searching for someone__ the alpha.

But he wasn't there.

I groaned, stretching my hand above my head to release the strain in my muscle. If Dalton wasn't here, it must mean that he was in the battleground.

He was so stubborn.

He was asked to take a few days off and rest but the first thing he did after his slight recovery was to head to the war room.

But then I smiled. He was the perfect alpha the pack needed. Though he didn't see the power in himself, I could see how much he would sacrifice for the welfare of his people.

And the things he said to me…the slight vulnerability he had let out yesterday, it still made my heart race. I had promised myself I wouldn't let myself fall for another after what I had encountered with Gabriel. But everyday with Dalton, I find myself gaping at

    Dalton’s POVPain sat heavy in my body, but the rage burned deeper. I sat in my office, my back stiff against the chair, my hands gripping the armrests so tight my knuckles turned white. Every breath sent a sharp ache through my stomach, but I ignored it.I had bigger problems.I had sneaked, I couldn't stay bedridden while Gabriel lurked around getting ready to strike once more.He was gone. Someone had helped him escape. And last night, another attempt had been made to poison the pack’s food supply.Josh stood in front of my desk, arms crossed, his expression tight. Across from him, Evelyn stood near the fireplace, her arms wrapped around herself, her brows furrowed.She hadn’t left my side since I woke up.And I didn’t know if that made things better or worse."Tell me again," I said, my voice low, controlled.Josh exhaled. "We checked the cell again. No signs of forced entry. Someone with access had to have unlocked the door.""Do we have names?"Josh shook his head. "Not yet. But

    Dalton’s POVThe walls felt like they were closing in. I had just let Gabriel go and that was going to cost me everything.The pack. Our safety. And Evelyn.No, I couldn't let him get away with everything, he had done so much whilst in the cell and now that he was out? Who knows what he could do next.His ally was still out here in our midst and that was the scariest thing ever. The room was warm, the candlelight flickering gently, the bed beneath me soft—but it all felt wrong.I wasn’t supposed to be here. Lying in a bed. Weak. Helpless.I should be out there. Hunting Gabriel. Tearing him apart for what he did.Instead, I was trapped. My body betrayed me, too weak to move without feeling like I’d been ripped open all over again.Evelyn was still sitting beside me, her fingers wrapped around mine, her grip firm.She hadn’t left my side.A part of me wanted to pull away again. To tell her to go, to stop looking at me with that mixture of worry and quiet strength.But another part of me

    ****Unknown POV****The shackles had been on me for too long. The cold bite of metal against my wrists, the damp scent of the dungeon, the flickering torches that barely lit the stone walls—I had memorized it all.This place was meant to break me.They thought I was defeated.They thought a few chains and a locked door could hold me.Fools.I was done giving them chances to let me free.My patience was already worn out.Tonight I was breaking out no matter what.I sat motionless, waiting in the shadows of my cell.Silent.Patient.The guard outside was careless. His steps followed a steady rhythm—one, two, three—turn.One, two, three—turn.I had watched him for days now and had memorized his actions.They were in fact too predictable.His steps were consistent.I counted them.I waited.Then, the second he turned his back to me, I moved.The chain around my right wrist was already loose. I had spent days weakening it, shifting the bolt, little by little, until all it needed was one ha

    *Evelyn's POV***Dalton carried me out from the forest and into our home, straight to his room.Not mine.His.The packhouse halls were quiet at this hour, but if anyone saw him storming through with me in his arms, they didn’t say a word. Maybe it was the tension in his shoulders, the dark storm in his eyes, or the way his grip on me was possessive yet careful at the same time.I wasn’t sure why I let him.Maybe because I was exhausted. Maybe because I knew he wasn’t going to leave me alone tonight. Or maybe—just maybe—because I wanted to be here.Dalton kicked open the door to his room and placed me down gently on his bed."Stay," he ordered, his voice low and rough.I raised a brow. "Not like I can go anywhere."His glare was sharp, but it softened as his eyes trailed down to my ankle. He crouched beside the bed, fingers brushing against my skin as he inspected the swelling."You could’ve broken something," he muttered, shaking his head. "That was reckless, Evelyn."I smirked. "Wou

    ***Evelyn's POV***Pain.It was the first thing I felt when I woke up. Sharp, throbbing, unrelenting. My body ached all over, my head was pounding, and my ankle throbbed with a dull, burning pain.I groaned, forcing my eyes open. Darkness.I wasn’t in my bed.I wasn’t even in the packhouse.My rib gave me a sharp pain as I tried to move and dirt crumbled beneath my fingers, it was then I realized—I had fallen into a pit.I remembered it all now.The chase. The assassin. The way he had jumped out through the window, me following him out and crashing—The fall.I was down in a shallow pit but too wounded to get myself out. What if he still lingered around.I mean the assassin.I needed to see who he was but not in this state, though.I had just one option, sit still here quietly till morning or go out and risk getting killed this time by him.Something told me the assassin was different from the traitor in the pack.He didn't come from within to attack but from outside, that means Gabri
