LOGINGABRIELLA’S POV Kael and I stood in the balcony while Elias talked to Rowan. There was a deep silence between us as we watched all the staff downstairs going about their day.“What decisions do you think they will make?” I said, breaking the silence.Kael turned to me with his eyebrows raised. “What?”“Elias and Rowan, do you think they will choose to get Rowan’s memories back?”He sighed and folded his arms. “I'm not sure but I assume Elias wants him to remember what they had but at the same time he doesn't want Rowan to remember how he was used and the pain he went through.” “That makes sense.” I nodded. “How do you feel about Rowan coming back?”“Relieved,” he answered without hesitation. “It feels like a huge burden has been lifted off my shoulders, though not completely. The look on Elias's face when he realised that Rowan doesn't remember him was haunting.”He paused and his eyes bored into mine before he continued, “I couldn't imagine you looking at me that way, forgetting th
ELIAS’S POVI inhaled deeply before finally pushing the door open and stepping inside.Rowan sat on the edge of the bed with his wrists still restrained by the silver-lined chains. His head was slightly lowered, his dirty blond hair falling over his forehead as though he was lost in thought.He slowly looked up when he sensed me entering and our eyes met.There was no hatred in his eyes this time. It was filled with confusion and curiosity.I quietly shut the door behind me before speaking. “If the chains are making you uncomfortable,” I started carefully, “I can take them off.”His gaze flickered toward the restraints before returning to me. “You trust me that much?” he asked quietly.The question caught me off guard because the truth was I actually did trust him. I was more uncomfortable seeing him being chained like a beast.“Will you attack me if I do?” I asked instead.He stared at me for a long moment before slowly shaking his head. “No.”Something about the way he answered made
ELIAS’S POVI stood there, my eyes fixed on the door like I could see through it, like I could force myself into whatever was happening inside.Rowan was no longer shouting or trying to break out of the chains which gave me a different kind of hope that Felix was getting to him.“Elias.” Gabriella’s voice pulled me back.I turned slightly, noticing the tension in her face. “What is it?” I asked.She hesitated before speaking, like she was choosing her words carefully. “The news is spreading.”My brows furrowed. “What news?”“Rowan,” she said. “People are already spreading rumours that he’s alive.”My chest tightened instantly. “How did they even find out?”“We don’t know exactly,” Kael cut in. “But it’s spreading fast. Packs are already talking and asking questions.”I exhaled slowly, already feeling the headache building.“What kind of questions?”“The dangerous kind,” she replied. “Why didn’t he return? Why is he being hidden in Silverhaven? Why is there no official announcement?”K
ELIAS’S POVI didn't like this idea one bit. Every instinct in me screamed that this was a mistake. But the idea of Rowan seeing me as an enemy kept pushing me forward.Felix stood beside me, unchained for the first time since we brought him in. Two warriors followed closely behind, tense, ready to strike at the slightest wrong move.He had insisted that he talk to Rowan and explain the truth to him. He claimed that he wanted to do one good deed before he died.As much as I wanted to reject the idea, I had no choice because he was the only one Rowan trusted right now.“Don’t make me regret this,” I said quietly.Felix didn’t look at me. His gaze stayed ahead. “I won’t.”I wasn’t sure if I believed him. But I didn’t have the luxury of doubt anymore. It was the only choice I had.The moment we reached Rowan’s chamber, the tension hit me like a wall. The door was slightly open, and I could hear the clatter of a tray hitting the floor.“I said I don’t want anything!” Rowan’s voice roared
ELIAS’S POVThat night, I barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Rowan fighting me, looking at me like I was nothing but an enemy. I was lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice the sun rising. The sound of my phone ringing brought me back to reality and I checked to see that it was Principal Dorian calling.I quickly sat up as I answered the call. “Good morning, Principal.”“Good morning, Alpha Elias,” Principal Dorian’s voice came through. “I’ve spoken with the council.”My grip tightened on the phone. “And?”“You’re granted leave,” he said. “But only for one week.”A week? It wouldn't be enough to help Rowan get his memories back but it was something so I had to make the best of it.“I understand,” I replied. “Thank you. I’ll make good use of it. I promise I’ll catch up on everything.”“I expect you will,” he said before the line went dead.I lowered the phone slowly and stared at the blank screen. Just one week to help Rowan get his memories back.Instead of wasting an
ELIAS’S POVThe journey back to Silverhaven felt longer than it actually was. Rowan was still unconscious beside me but his wrists bound with reinforced chains meant to suppress even an Alpha-level Apex Omega.I couldn't look away from him for a second. Seeing him peaceful like that made it feels like my Rowan was finally back but my heart broke knowing that he would be totally different once he regained his consciousness.Halfway through our journey, he shifted in his seat and he slowly opened his eyes. He carefully looked around and when his eyes landed on me, he lost it.“Who are you and where are you taking me?” He shouted as he began to struggle with the chains.“Rowan, calm down.”“Stop calling me that. I'm Trex.” His eyes instantly turned red and I felt the anger radiating off him. “Where is my father? What did you do to him?”“He is not your father and your name is not Trex,” I shouted back at him but he only made him more angry.He kept trying to break the chain and was hurti
ELIAS’S POV“Who were those wolves that attacked the school that night?” Gabriel asked with his Alpha tone. There was no response from her as she kept her head lowered, and her lips pressed tightly together as if every word would cost her blood. “Professor Madison, I need to know if we are in dan

ELIAS'S POV There was a pin dropping silence as the Alphas glanced at each other and for a minute, I had a little hope that we might actually get away with what we did.“I think he's right,” Ian's father added. “They are all going to lead our packs after us, it's only right that we feed them with
ELIAS’S POVI didn’t go back to the dorm after classes. Instead, I wandered around the school grounds like a ghost, circling the training fields, the quad, anywhere that kept me moving. If I stopped for a minute, my thoughts would catch up. I didn't want to think about any of those things for a wh
