MasukKIARA'S POVSomething was wrong with Rowan.At first, I told myself I was imagining it.New mothers worried.That was normal.I had spent half of yesterday panicking because he sneezed twice.Kael had laughed at me for nearly an hour.But this felt different.Much different.It started before sunrise.Rowan wouldn't stop crying.Not normal crying.Not hungry crying.Not tired crying.Pain…..Pure pain.The sound tore through my chest every time he made it.I sat on the bed holding him against me while trying everything I could think of.Rocking…..Singing…..Walking….Nothing worked.His tiny body shook with every cry."Rowan," I whispered desperately."Please."Tears filled my eyes."Please stop crying."But he couldn't….Or wouldn't.I didn't know.The bedroom door opened.Kael immediately walked in.The moment he saw my face, his expression changed."What happened?"I looked up.Tears were already running down my cheeks."It's Rowan."Kael crossed the room instantly."What about him?""He won't stop
KIARA'S POVThe pack house was unusually quiet.For once there were no warriors arguing outside, no emergencies demanding Kael's attention, and no strange visions stealing my peace.Just silence…..Beautiful silence.I stood near the large window in our room with one of the twins sleeping peacefully against my shoulder while his tiny hand gripped a strand of my hair.I smiled.Every day I looked at them and somehow loved them more.The door opened.Kael walked inside carrying the other twin.Immediately, the baby in his arms yawned.Kael smiled.The baby blinked.Kael smiled again.The baby moved one finger.Kael somehow smiled even wider.I laughed."You do realize you're obsessed?"His eyes met mine."I don't know what you're talking about.""You absolutely do."He walked over and stood beside me.The baby on my shoulder immediately reached toward his father.Kael's entire face lit up."There he is."I rolled my eyes."He literally moved his hand.""He recognized me…..He is two weeks
KIARA’S POVI couldn’t stop thinking about the dream.Not the darkness…..Not the Coven.Not even the woman whose face remained hidden behind the fog.No.What stayed with me was the feeling.The feeling that someone close to me was carrying a secret so heavy it was slowly crushing them from the inside.For days I had tried to ignore it.Tried to convince myself that I was imagining things.That I was letting my visions and nightmares get into my head.But every time I saw Chloe, that feeling returned.Stronger…..Heavier.More impossible to ignore.She was hiding something.I didn’t know what…..I didn’t know why.But I knew it.And deep down, I think she knew that I knew.That afternoon, I found her alone near the edge of the training field.She was sitting beneath a tree, staring off into the distance.Thinking…..Worrying…..Waiting.I wasn’t sure which.For a moment, I simply watched her.This was Chloe….My Chloe….My best friend.The person who had stood beside me through everything.The per
KIARA'S POVThe dream came back three nights later.I didn't know I was dreaming at first.Everything felt too real.The air was cold against my skin. A thick fog stretched endlessly around me, covering everything in sight. I couldn't see the ground beneath my feet. I couldn't see the sky.Only white…..Endless white…..And silence.I slowly turned in a circle."Hello?"No answer.My voice seemed to disappear into the mist.Then I heard it…..Footsteps…..Soft…..Slow….Approaching.My heart immediately began pounding.Because somehow...I already knew who it was.The woman,The same woman from before.The one whose face I couldn't see.The one from my visions.The one who kept appearing in my dreams.And just like before, she emerged from the fog.Only this time...She was closer….Much closer.My breath caught.For the first time, I could make out details.Long hair.A slender figure…..A woman around my age.Maybe slightly older.The fog still hid her face, but not as completely as before.It was g
KAEL'S POVThe entire house was asleep Or at least, it should have been.Kiara had finally managed to get the twins down after one of them decided two in the morning was the perfect time to announce his existence to the world. She had fallen asleep almost immediately afterward, exhausted from being a mother to two little wolves who seemed to have inherited my inability to stay still.I smiled softly as I looked over at her sleeping form.God I loved this woman.I loved her more than I thought it was possible to love another person.And our sons?They were my entire world.I brushed a strand of hair away from Kiara's face and kissed her forehead gently.Then, deciding not to wake her, I slipped out of bed.Sleep wasn't coming easily tonight anyway.Maybe some paperwork would help.I made my way to my office and sat down behind my desk.An hour passed….Then another.And eventually, exhaustion caught up to me.With a sigh, I lay down on the couch in the office and closed my eyes.I had barel
CHLOE'S POVI hated her…..I truly hated her.Not because she loved Kael….Not because she was jealous of Kiara.But because she was forcing me to do something I never wanted to do.I stood in the forest that evening, my hands trembling as I stared at the old book I'd hidden beneath my cloak.The locating spell…..The Coven.Everything was getting closer.Too close…..And I still didn't know what to do."You're disappointing me."I froze.Slowly, I turned around.Celeste.She stood a few feet away, arms crossed, her expression cold."What are you doing here?" I asked.She laughed."What am I doing here?""I should be asking you that."Her eyes narrowed."Because from what I can see, you've done absolutely nothing."I frowned."What are you talking about?""Oh, don't play innocent with me."She walked closer."I gave you a task.""And you're taking too long."My jaw tightened."I never agreed to help you.""No."She smiled cruelly."But you're going to.""I won't."The smile disappeared."Y

KIARA'S POVSince the coven tried to control me, I've been on watch day and night by both Kael and Chloe.Neither of them risked leaving me alone even for a second. I wasn't getting much sleep either, I knew that once I was unconscious I was easy to manipulate."You look really tired." Olivia …Kael
