Chapter Fifty Three : The Necklace Cara’s POVThe air was thick with tension. Damon’s piercing gaze was locked onto me, his expression unreadable. But I knew what he was thinking.He didn’t want me to leave.And I wasn’t going to stay.“I can go now,” I said, crossing my arms over my chest. “I’m fine already.”Damon’s eyes darkened, his lips pressing into a firm line. “You still need treatment.”I let out a short laugh, shaking my head. “Oh? And since when did you become a doctor?”A muscle in his jaw ticked, but his eyes never left mine.“You think you’re strong enough?” His voice was low, dangerous. “Where exactly do you plan to go?”I frowned. “What does that mean?”Damon stepped closer, his presence overwhelming. “Back to Liam? Or… Caleb?”The moment that name left his lips, something inside me snapped.Caleb.My whole body stiffened, my heart slamming against my ribs. How did he know about Caleb?My breathing became uneven as I stared at him, my mind racing. Caleb was someone I

Chapter Fifty Four : Choice Cara’s POVThe moment my eyes landed on the necklace in Liam’s hand, my heart nearly stopped.My breath hitched as I stared at it, my mind spinning. It was the same necklace. The one I had given to that boy all those years ago.Memories crashed into me like a storm—the rain, the fear, the warmth of his hand as he shielded me. I was just a little girl, lost and terrified. But he was there. He saved me.And I had given him that necklace as a promise.A promise that one day, when we met again, we would remember each other.But now…I looked at Liam, my chest tightening. Something didn’t feel right.He held the necklace up, his lips curling into a confident smile. “It’s me, Cara. I’m the boy from your past.” His voice was steady, full of certainty.But my gut twisted.No.I didn’t remember him.The face in my memories—it wasn’t Liam’s.Damon tensed beside me, stepping in front of me like a shield. His voice was dangerously low. “What the hell is this?”Liam’s

Chapter Fifty FiveDamon’s POV – Letting GoCara stood there, frozen, her eyes darting between me and Liam. I could see the panic in her face, the way her hands trembled slightly.She didn’t know what to do.But still… she made her choice.“I have to keep my promise.” Her voice was soft, unsure, but it felt like a dagger to my chest.She was going to leave.With him.With that liar.I kept my expression calm, even though everything inside me was screaming. My wolf was restless, pacing inside me, demanding that I stop her.But I didn’t.I just forced a smirk. “Go ahead, then. But don’t regret it later.”She hesitated. Just for a second.I could see it in her eyes—doubt.But then she nodded and took a step toward Liam.I swallowed the anger burning in my throat. The pain. The betrayal. And then, just to make it worse for myself, I tilted my head and smirked.“At least give me a kiss before you go, For the fact that I allowed you to stay in my pack when Liam rejected you, for the treatme

Chapter Fifty Six : UnwelcomeCara’s POVMy heart was heavy as I stepped into the packhouse with Liam beside me. I thought coming back here would bring some kind of relief, some kind of peace, but instead, uneasiness crawled over my skin like a warning.Sophia was the only person I expected to welcome me back. She had been the one who helped me escape, the one who believed me when no one else did. But as soon as her eyes landed on me, I knew something was wrong.Her expression wasn’t one of happiness. It wasn’t relief.It was disappointment.A deep, painful kind of disappointment that made my chest tighten.Before I could even say a word, a sharp, cruel voice sliced through the air.“Look at her,” Vanessa sneered, arms crossed over her chest. Her gaze flickered from my face to my belly, her lips curling in disgust. “Running back here like some lost little puppy. What, Damon finally threw you out? He got tired of playing with you?”I clenched my fists, my stomach twisting in anger.“Th

Chapter Fifty SevenTorn Liam’s POVI stood in my father’s chambers, waiting for him to speak. The room was quiet, but I could feel the tension in the air. My father, the Alpha, sat in his chair, staring at me with cold eyes.“You brought her back,” he finally said. His voice was low but sharp. “And with her, him.”I knew who he was talking about—my child.I didn’t say anything, but my father’s stare grew harder.“The elders are already bowing,” he said. “Bowing to a child who hasn’t even been born yet.”I stiffened. I had heard whispers, seen the way the elders looked at Cara’s stomach with something close to worship.“They say he will be the strongest Alpha of his time,” my father continued. “Stronger than you. Stronger than me.”I swallowed.“They are already choosing him over me,” he said, his voice bitter. “The Alpha, their leader, is being ignored. They believe in a child that isn’t even here yet.”I frowned. “The elders want him to be born?”“Yes,” my father said sharply. “The

Chapter Fifty Eight: Sophia’s Motive? I don’t knowCara’s POVI sat alone in the sitting room, my hands resting on my stomach. The silence in the house felt heavier than usual. Liam had been acting strange since we arrived, and now, he was nowhere to be found. A part of me wanted to go look for him, but another part of me didn’t have the strength to. Maybe he just needed time to think.Just as I was lost in my thoughts, I heard footsteps. I turned to see Sophia walking in. She looked tired, like she had a lot on her mind. She sat beside me with a sigh, leaning back against the couch.“You look like you have something to say,” I said, breaking the silence.Sophia gave me a small smile but didn’t respond right away. Instead, she stared at the ceiling for a moment before speaking.“Have you ever felt like you don’t belong?” she asked suddenly.I frowned. “What do you mean?”Sophia sighed again. “Everyone in this pack expects me to follow their rules, to do what they think is right.

Chapter Fifty Nine To know the truthLiam’s POVThe journey was long and exhausting, but I didn’t stop. I rode through the night, the cold wind biting at my skin as my mind raced with thoughts. My father’s words haunted me.“That child will take everything from you, Liam. He will be stronger, more respected. If you don’t act now, you will live in his shadow forever.”I had tried to ignore it, tried to believe it wasn’t true. But the way the elders in my own pack had bowed before the unborn child—the way they spoke of him as if he were already a ruler—it shook me to my core.I needed answers. And so, I had come here—to a distant pack where the elders were known to hear directly from the Moon Goddess. If anyone could tell me the truth, it was them.****The pack’s territory was different from mine. The trees were taller, the air heavier with mystery. The moment I crossed into their land, I felt something strange—an energy I couldn’t explain. It was as if the ground itself was alive, wa

Chapter Sixty : Sophia’s MissionDamon’s POVI sat in my study, staring at the papers on my desk, but my mind was elsewhere. No matter how hard I tried to focus, my thoughts kept drifting back to Cara. I hated how she still had this effect on me. She had made her choice. She picked Liam.I should move on. I should forget.A soft knock at the door pulled me out of my thoughts. I frowned. I wasn’t expecting anyone.“Come in,” I said, my voice sharp.The door opened, and to my surprise, a woman stepped inside. Sophia.I leaned back in my chair, watching her closely. She walked in with confidence, her long brown hair falling over her shoulders, her eyes calm but observant. She was different from Cara, sharper, more calculating.“What are you doing here?” I asked.She stopped a few steps away from my desk and smiled slightly. “I wanted to see you.”I scoffed. “And why would I care about that?”She didn’t seem bothered by my coldness. “I just thought I should thank you for taking care of Ca

My whole body ached—my legs, my back, my shoulders. Everything hurt. My head throbbed from the slap Cara had given me. My lips were parched, my belly grumbled, but I couldn't eat. I just couldn't. Not when my heart was filled with so much fear.I was tired. Tired of crying. Tired of waiting.But still. I waited.For him.Damon.Please, Damon. come.I couldn't help but replay that moment when Caleb finally handed me his phone and said, "Text him. Tell him where you are. He'll come for you."I had stared at the phone like it was a gift from heaven. I typed the message with shaky hands. And now. I waited. Again.Each sound outside made me jump. Each creak of wood. Each sigh of wind. My eyes would flicker to the door, hoping… praying… but nothing. Just shadows and silence.Caleb stood at the broken window,

I kept waiting for a call, a text. something.It did.My phone lit up. A text was sent.From Sophia.My fingers shook as I held the phone. My heart was pounding."Damon, I'm in an old building by the river beside the nearby pack, Come. Don't tell Cara I sent this. I'm fine but scared. I need you."I stood there, I couldn’t believe it.I couldn't believe it. My chest expanded and contracted quickly. My eyes scanned the words over and over.She's alive.Sophia is alive.But… trapped?And she asked me not to tell Cara.Why?I sprang up in a flash, prepared to dash out of the room. I had to reach her. I didn't have a moment to spare.But then—The door creaked open.Cara stood in the doorway.She was smiling.Her hair was tucked neatly back, her dress perfect as ever. But I saw nothing but dark

Chapter 159 – A Glimmer of HopeSophia's POVThe walls that closed in around me were damp, cold, and cracked. I was on the floor in the corner of the empty room, my arms sore from having them tied behind my back for so long. My ankles were scraped and bruised. The ground was hard. The air smelled of dust, mold, and old paint. It was the kind of place you leave people to be forgotten.But I wasn't forgotten.Not yet.I hadn't eaten for a day—maybe two days. My lips were dry. My stomach growled in pain, not just hunger. But I didn't eat the food they'd brought before. I couldn't. Every bite would be like giving up. And I wasn't ready to quit.Suddenly, the door opened again.I looked up, expecting Cara to enter and taunt me for my misery. But it wasn't her.It was Caleb.He entered quietly, holding a small tray. On it was a piece of bread, a small bowl of scrambled eggs, and a bottle of water. He set it down quietly next to me, kneeling to my level."You have to eat," he said softly.I

A mixture of anger, fear, and confusion.Sophia was nowhere to be found.I had attempted. Texted. Waited.Nothing.She always kept her word. Always told me where she was going to be.But now… nothing.Lucas sat across from me, his hands flying quickly across the tablet screen. He had been quiet the last few minutes, trying to track Cara's phone. The guards we'd sent had lost Sophia. And now Cara too.I did not want to think it. I did not want to believe that Cara was involved. But every fiber of my being was screaming otherwise."Any signal?" I asked, my throat scratchy."Not yet," said Lucas. "Just another second or two. If she's got her phone on, we'll pinpoint it."Before he could finish speaking, the study door creaked open.I raised my head hastily.And there she was.Cara.Craddling the baby in her arms.My h

Too silence now.I picked up my phone and dialed her again.It rang once.And then twice.And then went to voicemail.I stared at the screen, my heart pounding. I tried a third time. Still nothing.A thunderous knock on the door caused me to look up."Come in," I said, attempting to sound calm.Lucas came in, holding a small tablet. I could tell from his face that something was wrong."We've got a problem, Alpha," he told me. "The guards we sent to tail Sophia… they lost her."My heart sank."Lost her?"

Chapter 156 : Trapped By CaraThe streets were deserted as I walked to the destination I had been sent. It was an old street, near the town center, yet still deserted enough to make me get a bit apprehensive. I held my phone tight.And then suddenly—A heavy sound behind me.Before I could even turn, someone grabbed me hard from behind. A fist closed over my mouth. I struggled, kicked, screamed — but the rag over my mouth muffled my cry.I was pulled back, through an alley. My heart thudded so violently I thought it would burst.I caught sight of the shape of a broken-down, falling building — the windows broken, the walls cracked. My gut wrenched.They shoved me in.The air was thick with dust and mold. I was tied at the wrists. My mouth was open, my throat dry."W-What's going on?" I gasped. "Let me go!"And then I saw her.Cara.She stepped out of the darkness as if catwalking down a catwalk. Unfazed. Unapologetic. Evil.Caleb was behind her. He turned his head aside when I tried to

Chapter 155 :?The Weight in My Chest(Damon's POV)The air in my study was stale. The room smelled of old pages and quiet reflection. I had a book in my hand, but I wasn't reading. My eyes had been on the same line for the past five minutes. My mind wasn't calm.Not since that message came.Alec Davis — the name that had been so important to Sophia. Her favorite author. The one author who had written stories that had comforted her when the world had been cruel.Now that same author wanted to meet her in person. Alone.I didn't care for it. Not at all. It was strange. It felt too abrupt. Too personal. And something in the message… it had my wolf unsettle with unease.Just then, the door to our bedroom opened.Sophia stepped out. She wore light jeans and a soft cream-colored sweater. Her hair was brushed back neatly. She looked beautiful, but her face carried excitement, like a child about to meet her hero.“Damon,” she said gently.I turned in my chair, eyes meeting hers.“I’m getting

My black trench coat was enveloped around me, heels of shoes sinking delicately into sodden ground as I went deeper into the trees. The moon was silver, distant, cold—like I am tonight.I'd given the message to Caleb hours ago. He responded right away."Same location. Midnight."This is the time I need Caleb the most, I know he doesn’t like Damon, and this is the time for me to act like I care about him.I smiled as I walked towards the small cabin hidden at the edge of the border, a place that only the two of us knew. A place that was filled with tired memories, lust, lies… and now, a new plan.The door was already open before I could knock.He stood there, big and broad, still with that same obstinate look he always had. Caleb. My history. My instrument."Cara," he said coldly. "What are you doing here?""
