The room was quiet.I turned my head slowly.Ms D sat beside the bed, her head resting on her folded arms on the small table. She had fallen asleep like that, obviously exhausted, her breathing was soft and uneven. She must have been there for hours.Maybe longer.A faint ache settled in my chest.She shouldn’t have to do this. None of them should.My gaze stayed on her for a moment, then I looked away.I couldn’t stay here anymore. Not like this.~ Doris ~The moment Alpha Stone and Ryder left the basement, something inside me snapped. I couldn’t just sit there anymore. I was tired of watching people I loved sacrifice themselves for me, and tired of being the reason everyone kept getting hurt.“I’m done with this,” I whispered, hitting the side of my head in frustration. “No more.”I pushed myself up, ignoring how weak my body felt, and slipped out of the basement. The pack house was quiet. Thank the goddess no one was in the corridors. I moved quickly, heart racing, and headed straight for the gate.Two warriors stood guard. I tried to sneak past while their backs were turned, but a small hand suddenly grabbed mine. I spun around. It was Gab.I quickly scooped him up and ducked behind a corner, pressing a finger to my lips.“Hey buddy,” I whispered, trying to smile. “What are you doing outside?”“I woke up and couldn’t find you,” he said innocently.“Where is your grandma?” I
We raced back to the pack house, my heart pounding hard against my chest like it was trying to break free.The moment we reached the entrance, Gab stood there crying, his small shoulders shaking as tears streamed down his face. The little boy must have felt the heavy tension in the air.“Hey buddy,” I said softly, bending down and lifting him into my arms. I held him close against my chest, rubbing his back. “Stop crying, okay? Go inside your room and stay with Grandma. Everything’s going to be alright.”Gab buried his face in my neck, still sobbing. I hated to see him like this.Before I could say more, the front doors swung open. Dad walked out fully dressed for war — black combat gear, silver wolf emblem on his chest. He looked strong, like the Alpha I remembered from my childhood.“Everyone get ready!” Dad commanded. “We are heading to Thunder Pack to rescue our Luna and the mother of this pack!”The warriors roared in agreement, raising their fists and
The warriors dragged Lucious away, his chains scraping against the ground.I stood there for a second, watching the crowd surge behind them, hungry for blood. My eyes caught Blade at the edge of the compound. He leaned against a wall, arms crossed tight over his chest, staring at nothing. The pain on his face hit me hard. No child should carry that kind of weight.For a moment, he didn’t look like the strong man I knew.I walked over slowly and punched his arm lightly. “Hey, man.”He didn’t respond immediately. His eyes were fixed ahead, but I could tell he wasn’t seeing anything.“You good?” I asked quietly.Blade blinked like he was coming out of a daze. He let out a dry, broken laugh.“Yeah… I’m fine,” he said, but his voice betrayed him. “I just… didn’t expect any of this. I kept hoping it was all a nightmare. That I’d wake up and none of this would be real.” His throat moved as he swallowed hard, fighting back the tears.I pulled h
“I need to go save her,” Doris said, her voice tight with fear and fire. She clenched her fists so hard her knuckles turned white. That was when I really looked at her—boots laced tight, dark fighting leathers hugging her frame, hair pulled back for battle. That’s when it hit me.If I hadn’t walked in when I did, she would have charged straight into Thunder Pack territory alone.I stepped closer and grabbed her hands gently before she could move again.“Baby girl, you need to breathe,” I said firmly, rubbing her knuckles with my thumbs. “If it’s truly Thunder Pack that took her, then rushing in blind is exactly what they want.”Her chest rose and fell too fast. Her eyes were wild with fear and anger.“They took my mother, Ryder,” she said sharply. “You expect me to sit here and breathe?”“I’m not saying sit,” I replied calmly. “I’m saying we plan. If we go in without strategy, we’re walking into a trap. They’ll be waiting for us to react emotionally
~ Ryder ~Blade led the way.We didn’t need maps. We didn’t need questions. He knew exactly where we were going.Back to the same building we had just left.But this time… it didn’t feel the same.Lucious had a hidden room.A sealed part of the building only he could access. The kind of place that didn’t exist on records or cameras. The kind of place made for things that were never meant to be seen.Blade stopped in front of a hidden metal door at the far end of the basement corridor — sleek, electronic, and clearly built to stay secret.“This is it,” he said quietly. “Only he can open it from inside.”Julius and I signaled the warriors. They melted into position on both sides of the hallway, backs pressed against the walls, claws ready. I nodded at Blade. He took a deep breath, then pressed a button.“Father? It’s me,” Blade called out, voice steady. “I have something important to tell you.”Seconds stretched. Then we heard the low h
~ Blade ~The drive to the data recovery office felt endless.My heart hammered against my ribs like it wanted to break free. Ryder and Julius stayed quiet the whole way, but I could feel their tension. When we finally arrived, they waited outside in the car while I went in alone.They trusted me enough to wait here for me.I regretted ever trying to stab them in the back.Fuck.My hands wouldn’t stop shaking. If I claimed I wasn’t terrified of what I might find on that phone, I’d be lying. Every step inside the small office made my stomach twist tighter.The specialist was already waiting by the entrance, a plain package in his hands. “Finally, you’re here,” he said, handing it over. His face was serious, like he already knew the weight of what he was giving me.“Was everything intact?” I asked, my voice rough.“The original phone was destroyed beyond repair, like I told you before. But I managed to pull all the data and move
~ Doris ~After what Ryder did last night, leaving me aching and untouched, sex-starved for some “silly” pack-politics reason. I woke up furious.I remember the scream from earlier, how it tore out of me like something trapped for years finally breaking free. The nightmare came again
But I still wasn’t inside her yet.I flipped her onto her stomach gently, hands on her hips, lifting her ass up high so she was open and ready for me. Her knees sank into the mattress, back arched, face pressed into the pillow. She looked so perfect like that—shaking, needy, slick s
“Because when I do,” I growled, my voice low and deadly, “she’s gonna be stronger than any Luna you’ve ever seen. And when she steps into that Circle and drops every bitch who doubted her flat on her back… you’ll be the one choking on your own fucking tongue.”Roman’s eyes flicked. He tried t
~ Doris ~I woke up feeling tired, too lazy to move at first. Then it hit me, I was in Ryder’s room. I turned to look beside me, but the bed was empty. He hadn’t come back after leaving last night.Was he alright?Or is he avoiding me?I hugged my knees to my chest and let my
