LOGINKaden’s POVI paced as we waited for Brent to give the signal, a burning anger swelling inside me. I was ready to tear Fin to pieces after what he did; his betrayal put all of us at risk, and if Magnus had listened to me, maybe we wouldn’t be here now.Brent appeared between the trees. Alright, I’ll sneak in and check things out. If I can, I’ll text you. If I can’t, watch for the red flare, which means we attack.Got it, go now, Michael said, glancing at Brent as he slipped away. I hesitated, my fists clenching. I should go with him, I muttered, casting a quick look at Michael."No, you stay here with the Rova warriors," I replied firmly to Michael, making sure he knew I did not want him taking any unnecessary risks. I wanted one of us to keep watch, to stay with the group.Finally, we sat down on the forest floor in the dark. The tension from waiting lingered in the air, every sound making me jumpy, but I tried to push it aside. Michael nudged me with a smirk. So, how is married life
Luca’s POVGrandpa, can I go now? I finished my breakfast. My legs kept bouncing under the table, and I couldn’t wait to get outside. He turned to me.Of course, go on, only here around the packhouse do not wonder, Luca. But I was already running to the atelier.Good morning, sir. May I speak to Emily?The man’s face changed suddenly, his eyes darted away like he was searching for the right words. He hesitated, wringing his hands before finally looking at me and speaking. Luca looked at me weirdly. Emily is gone.I don’t understand. Where did she go?Her family took her home, and finally, she got to grow up in her pack.What pack is that? I asked himWell, I do not know, but I heard someone mention a valley.I learned that there were four packs in the valley. The Riverstone Pack lived closest to the water and were known for their calm nature but sharp minds. The Silverpine Pack was smaller, mostly traders and scouts, always moving between territories. The Red Hollow Pack kept to the f
Brent’s POVLucas, Hathor, stay close, I told them as I held Sophia against me. The patrols now belong to the rogues Finn brought. I knew it, my gut feeling never lied to me.Down, I whispered to them, as I watched them move not far from us. Let’s keep going, and don’t stop until we get to Rova.Brent, where is my father? Luca asked. He is a powerful alpha.Not when they poison him, I told him. He gasped. Hathor started to cry. Stop, they are just weak right now, but I will go back and help them after we get to Rova. Now move, no more questions. The moon hid behind the clouds, making it harder to spot.I knew we were close when I saw the patrols on the Rova territory. Who’s there, he said, show yourself.It's me, Brent, and Magnus’s children. Take me to Michael now.Sir? What happened.They got attacked, and I escaped with them to get them to safety. We got to the pack house, and we waited inside. He went to wake up Michael.Michael walked in his robe, looking at us like it was unreal
Magnus’s POVI tried to control the pain, but the silver burned deep under my skin, like fire licking through my veins. Every breath caught on the metallic tang that seemed to fill the air, sharp and cold, making my throat raw. The stench of burning flesh mixed with the bitter scent of silver, and my head was splitting with a throbbing headache, every pulse sending another wave of agony through my temples. My muscles cramped and twitched, the pain relentless, wrapping around my bones and refusing to let go.Adira, listen to me, again, it's my fault for this. I bring nothing but pain in your life, forgive me…She shook her head as she got closer, leaning on me. No, it's not your fault.The door opened, and Finn walked inside. This is what Rhonda felt while in your pack: pain and suffering.And again, you had no problem screwing her behind my back, I saidHe slapped me hard. You should’ve let her go, he shouted in my face.I did, the day she died, I said. Maybe I faulted that, she hated
