ログインKAEL'S POVI had been sitting in the dark for hours, my phone resting on the armrest of the chair, staring at the ceiling like it might give me answers I didn't even know the questions for.Rowan and Elias were on the floor above mine with their rooms beside each other, but they still feel like they are miles away from each other.Any time I thought about the role I played in that, it made me feel even more guilty. Gabriella not being around made things even more difficult for me because there was no one I could talk to about it.She might be mad at me, but she would still listen to me and scold me when I was stupid. That was better than being shut out.I grabbed my phone and dialled her number to find out what's going on with her brother. I didn't call her after she left because I wanted to give her space to deal with the situation.I shook the thought away and grabbed my phone.Gabriella answered on the second ring. "Kael," she said, and even through the phone, I could hear the exha
GABRIELLA’S POV Bella stood up and held my hand as more tears rolled down her cheeks. “I swear, I didn't plan any of this. I just can't bear to kill an innocent child. As long as I get child support, I can go faraway with my baby and never show my face in the Nightbourne Pack.”I sighed. “Technically, that's not an option for you. Our family will never allow our blood to live away from us. Besides, if it comes out in the future that Gabriel has an illegitimate child, it would ruin him and he would be stripped of his title as Alpha. We can't risk that.” “Then what do you want me to do?” she collapsed on the ground. “Honestly, I also don't want an innocent child to suffer. If the child is really my brother as you claim, then it's up to you to decide if you will marry him and end up in a loveless marriage or get rid of the baby and forget that any of this ever happened,” I said.She looked up at me. “Do you want me to get rid of the baby, so you brother can be happy with the woman he
GABRIELLA'S POVThe morning air was cold as I set out of the Alpha’s mansion to meet my mother of Gabriel's child, Bella Thorsen. That is if she's not lying.The neighborhood of the common wolves was modest and humble, nothing like the sprawling estates of high ranking wolves in the main city of Nightbourne pack. The houses here were small but well-kept, with faded paint and gardens that someone clearly put effort into maintaining despite their limited means.My assistant, Derek, had sent me the address before dawn. Bella lived with her parents in a small bungalow at the end of a quiet street. The moment my car pulled up, I could see the curtains shift in the front window. I had called ahead, identifying myself as Gabriel's sister, so they knew I was coming.The door opened before I could knock.A woman in her late forties stood there, her gray-streaked hair pulled back tightly. She wore a simple dress and her hands were clasped in front of her, knuckles white with nerves."Alpha Gab
GABRIELLA’S POVThe ride to Nightbourne Pack felt endless.Even after crossing into the pack borders and seeing the familiar gates, the uneasiness in my chest refused to settle.‘Gabriel tried to commit suicide.’The words kept repeating in my head over and over again like a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from.My brother wasn’t weak. He was stubborn, proud and reckless sometimes.For him to even think about suicide, something terrible must have happened.The moment the car stopped in front of the Alpha mansion, I pushed the door open before the driver could even come around.The guards bowed immediately. “Alpha Gabriella.”I ignored them and rushed inside. The uneasy feeling continued as the mansion was unusually quiet. The staff were moving around quietly and talking in a hush tone as tension hung heavily in the air.I climbed the stairs quickly and headed straight toward Gabriel’s room.The door was slightly open and the moment I stepped inside, my heart dropped.Gabriel sat on the
GABRIELLA’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
ROWAN’S POVThat early morning, I slipped out of the Mansion without anyone noticing. It was something I had been doing since I was a teenager and no one ever noticed because they were all focused on Adrian. He was the eldest child. The future of Crescent Pack, the one they molded and polished to
ELIAS’S POVI didn’t know where I was going, I just kept running in the empty streets of Silverhaven. The word “rejected” kept repeating in my head over and over again and my father's disappointed face kept haunting me.My ceremonial robes clung heavily to my body, suffocating and mocking me with e
ELIAS’S POVThe hall fell into a deathly silence the moment my father and Alpha Keiran faced each other.Keiran struck first as he lunged with a furious roar, claws flashing as he went straight for my father’s throat. The floor cracked beneath the force of his leap.But my father didn’t flinch. He

Though Alpha Williams had told about the announcement he would be making after the coronation.During the short period I would be staying, Silva had offered to give me a tour of the Alpha's Mansion
