MasukLevi’s POV“Again.”I barely had time to breathe before the next hit came.This time, I moved. Without thinking or hesitation, I avoided the punch and then drove my fist forward. It landed against the warrior’s ribs, making him step back.“Better,” Alpha Ian said from behind.I was breathing heavily, my chest rising and falling fast. Sweat clung to my skin, and my body was sore from the constant hits, but I stayed on my feet.That was already an improvement. Days had gone by, and I felt better. Most of all, I looked forward to training and learning new moves.The warrior in front of me smirked.“Don’t relax,” he muttered before lunging again.I blocked, barely, then took another hit to the shoulder that made me grit my teeth.“Focus,” Alpha Ian’s voice came again.“I am trying,” I muttered under my breath.“Stop trying. Do it.”I clenched my fists tighter.When the warrior came at me, I didn’t hesitate.I moved first.I stepped in, grabbed his arm, and twisted, using all my strength t
Debby’s POV“Honey, food is ready,” I said at Daisy's door.“I'm not hungry,” she answered huskily.I sighed softly and grabbed the door handle.“I'm coming in,” I said seriously, then opened the door and walked in.I froze at the sight that greeted me.She sat on the ground, surrounded by ripped letters, torn pictures, and broken little pieces of memories scattered everywhere. Her hair was messy, her shoulders slumped, and her eyes… red and empty.My heart ached painfully.I slowly walked over and sat beside her, pulling her into my arms without a word.My baby girl was suffering, and her mate wasn't even close by to comfort her in any way or make the pain bearable.“Mom,” she called in a cracked voice.“Yes, my darling,” I answered softly, holding her tighter.“I don't know how to be okay,” she whispered, her voice breaking. “I really don't know how to be okay. I'm in so much pain.”She broke down completely.I closed my eyes briefly, fighting the ache in my chest as I rubbed her ba
Levi’s POVThe first thing I felt when I woke up was pain.Pain that felt like I was being dragged down, not only under a heavy burden but by the weight of knowing how I had lost everything good in my life.For a moment, I just lay in bed, breathing slowly, trying to figure out why I had agreed to Alpha Ian's words when I could have just said no and lived like a dead person or just ended myself.Every flashback moment of her voice and her smiling face made me feel terrible, and it got worse when the disgust in her eyes played in my mind along with her clear words.“…you fucking nerd bastard…”My breath hitched, and I squeezed my eyes shut.“…I’ll kill you…”A broken sound escaped my throat before I could stop it.“Pup.”My eyes snapped open.I turned my head slightly and found him leaning against the wall, his arms folded as he watched me.Alpha Ian stood there, his expression cold, but it wasn’t as harsh as before.It was like he was observing me while trying to understand. “Are you
Daisy’s POVThe door clicked shut behind Mom.Silence filled the room.I didn’t move.I just sat there… staring at nothing as her words echoed over and over again in my head.“Make a decision you won’t regret…”“And choose someone who will love all of you… even the parts you can’t love yourself.”I slowly lowered my gaze to my hands.They were trembling.I hated how I was feeling, and I hated the confusion.I hated the way my heart felt like it was being pulled in two different directions.One part of me screamed Jordan.The other…I shut my eyes tightly.“No,” I whispered. “I won’t think about him.”My wolf was furious and in pain, but I ignored her.I stood up abruptly and grabbed my spare phone from the bed drawer, which I had left before I went to the pack.My fingers hovered over the screen for a second before I dialed his number.Jordan.The call rang.Once. Twice. Three times.Then…“Daisy?” his voice came through, surprised.My heart picked up.“I need to see you,” I said imme
Daisy’s POVI walked straight into my room and locked the door behind me.The click of the lock echoed loudly in the quiet space, and the moment my back touched the door, the strength I had been forcing myself to hold onto shattered.Tears fell desperately as I slowly slid down until I was sitting on the floor.The entire ride home, I had pretended to be fine.I pretended my heart wasn’t breaking, that I wasn’t suffocating.But now that I was alone, the pressure in my chest finally burst.Levi’s face flashed in my mind.The way his eyes had looked at me.The tears running down his cheeks.The pain.It twisted inside my chest, filling me with guilt and sadness so deep that I could barely breathe.“Daisy!”Cassidy knocked loudly on the door.I squeezed my eyes shut.“Leave me alone,” I whispered weakly.“Daisy,” she called again, knocking harder.“I said leave me alone!” I shouted, my voice breaking.There was silence for a moment.“Okay… okay,” she said quietly from the other side of t
Levi’s POVI couldn’t stop the tears running down my cheeks as I walked out of the pack house.Each step felt heavy, like my legs no longer belonged to me. My vision blurred over and over again, yet I didn’t bother wiping the tears away.I heard the shocked whispers around me.I felt their stares burning into my back.But none of it mattered.Nothing mattered anymore.The pain ripping through my chest wasn’t only mine. My wolf’s grief crashed into me as well, his broken howl echoing through my mind so loudly that it made my knees weak.And when Daisy’s words replayed again in my head—Her disgust, anger, and hatred—I collapsed onto the ground.A sob tore out of my throat before I could stop it.I knew this day would come.Deep down… I always knew.The moment she remembered her old life… things could change.But I was selfish.I allowed myself to dream.Dream of a future where she smiled at me the way she used to, of me growing old beside her. Where she chose me.I believed in the Dai
Sherry's POV: Felix, the purebred vampire, was a name well-known in Ian's pack because of how close she was to him. Back in the pack, I had met her a few times, but that didn't mean we talked. From what I could gather from Ian, she was a very powerful and capable ally one could ever have. If these m
Sherry's POV: I quickly ran into Damon's arms, hugging him tightly as soon as he stepped out of his car. I felt so relieved that I could use my wolf's vision because I could see he wasn't hurt in any way. Only a few hours had gone by, yet it felt like many years to me. "You're back and safe," I whis
Damon's POV: "Who are you?" I asked the rogues who were in the cell. There was a little pup on the woman's lap who was whimpering. The pup looked so thin and sick, and the woman didn't look good either. She was in a torn dress, her hair was messy, her collarbone was sticking out, and her lips were c
Ryan's POV: I sat on the bed, staring at Lexi while she knelt next to me with her gaze lowered to her lap. A few days had gone by, and I was waiting patiently for her to be ready to mate with me. When she called me into her room, I had no idea what she wanted to talk about, but for some reason, I fe
