LOGINRebecca’s POVI swallowed hard, my throat painfully dry. The feeling of his fingers wrapping around my arm sent a sharp, electrifying shiver straight down my spine. It was a sensation so sudden and intense that it completely threw me off balance—a feeling I had never once experienced in my life, not even when Zach used to touch me.Panicking at the sudden surge of electricity between us, I gently pulled my wrist away from his grasp, stepping back to create some distance.Enzo didn’t force me to stay. He let his hand fall back to his lap, his eyes searching my face with an unsettling intensity. "How have you been, Rebecca?" he asked softly.I let out a harsh, bitter breath, crossing my arms over my chest to stop my hands from trembling. "Why do you keep asking me that?" I asked, my voice laced with defensive irritation. "We barely know each other."Enzo leaned forward slightly, resting his elbows on his knees. "Because you look drained," he said, his voice dropping low, heavy wit
Rebecca's POV"No..." I said quickly, stepping back. "I don't think so."It wasn't that I didn't want to be near him. In fact, my heart was pounding so hard against my ribs I was terrified he could hear it. But standing this close to him filled me with shame and embarrassment. The last time I saw him at the book shop, I had practically offered myself to him, only for him to gently remind me that he was a married man. On top of that, I had just given birth days ago, my body felt heavy and exhausted, and my eyes were swollen from crying over my baby. I looked like a mess, and I didn't want him looking at me like this."Well, I'm not taking no for an answer," Enzo said, a tiny smirk playing on his lips.Before I could protest, he unbuckled his wooden practice sword and tossed it casually onto the grass. "We're fighting with real weapons."My jaw dropped. "What?"Ignoring my shock, he turned and walked straight toward the heavy weapon racks at the edge of the training field. I stoo
Enzo's POVBy late afternoon, my private jet touched down at the airstrip near the Royal Werewolf Academy.My mind was still racing, but as the engine cut off, a harsh wave of reality hit me. I couldn't just storm into the Academy like a madman and grab Rebecca. Doing that would expose everything, raise immediate alarms, and draw unwanted attention from Zarek and the council. I needed a reason to be here—something natural that wouldn't make Rebecca suspect I had come specifically for her.Fortunately, my history with this place gave me the perfect cover.I was one of the highest-achieving graduates in the Academy’s long history. My name was carved into the hall of honors, and my framed portrait still hung on the wall of the main administrative building. More importantly, the head professor of combat and strategy, Professor William, was an old friend of mine.When I stepped into Professor William's spacious office, his face lit up with genuine surprise."Enzo!" William called out
Enzo's POVEver since the strange dream two months ago—the moment Rebecca’s spirit grabbed my hands in that pale gold garden and dragged me back to life—my condition had improved dramatically.I still felt a dull, faint ache in my chest from time to time, a reminder that the dark curse was still alive inside my blood. But compared to the agonizing pain that used to consume me, it was nothing. I could train again. I could shift into my wolf without collapsing. I could perform all my Alpha duties with ease—things that had been completely impossible while I was confined to a bed, waiting to die.The pack healers called it an impossible miracle. They didn't know what had caused the change, but they said it bought us precious time until Lily, the witch's descendant, finally awakened her powers to break the curse for good.I was standing near the large window in my office, reading through pack border logs, when the heavy oak door clicked open.Ryan walked inside. Normally, he would car
Rebecca's POVFor four long hours, Zarek and his mother stayed in the room with me. They were kind, gentle, and attentive. They offered me water, made sure the blankets were warm, and spoke softly whenever they held the baby.On the surface, everything was perfect. It was the exact picture of a loving, supportive family.And yet, deep inside me, an uneasy feeling twisted like a cold knot. It was a strange, subtle discomfort that wouldn't go away, no matter how hard I tried to ignore it.If you are this uncomfortable, you can stop your studies and go back home with the baby, my wolf whispered softly in the back of my mind. Take him and go.I let out a quiet, bitter breath. It sounded so simple, but it was completely impossible. The Academy had strict laws. Once a wolf entered these gates, no one was allowed to leave until graduation. I still had three full years left before my time here was finished. I was trapped.Zarek must have noticed my long silence. He sat down on the edge
Rebecca's POV"Push, Rebecca! You are almost there! One more big push!" the healer shouted, her voice echoing through the room.A wave of unbearable pain ripped through my body, tearing a raw scream from my throat. Sweat soaked my hair, sticking it to my forehead as I gripped the sides of the bed."I... I can't!" I gasped out, my head falling back onto the pillow.The pain was too much. It felt like my body was breaking into a thousand pieces. Darkness crept in at the edges of my sight, pulling me under. I slipped out of consciousness, slipping away from the hot, agonizing room.In the dark fog of my mind, a man appeared.His face was blurred, hidden behind a shadow. He stepped close to me in the darkness, his voice deep and rumbling like thunder."Push, Becca," he commanded softly, yet his voice shook my soul. "You are strong. Push for our child."My eyes snapped open with a sudden gasp, pulling me back into the bright, painful room.The healers surrounding my bed were whis
Rebecca’s POVI stared at Enzo, my vision blurring. For a moment, I didn’t believe it. It felt as though the floor had opened up to swallow me whole."Congratulations," Father said, his voice thick with pride."No!" I shouted.I shot to my feet so fast the chair nearly crashed backward. Before
Rebecca's POVIt had been two days since the cliff accident, and I still wasn’t allowed to see Enzo. Every time I went to the healer's wing, the warriors sent me away. They told me the same thing over and over: he had made it clear he didn't want to see me.I sat on my bed, feeling restless and s
Rebecca’s POVShock flashed across his face. Then guilt. Then something colder.“Rebecca,” he said sharply.I couldn’t breathe. Sasha turned to look at me confused, but Enzo never moved away from her. He didn’t push her off or cover himself. If anything, he glared at me, like he wanted this mome
Rebecca’s POVI couldn’t remember a time when I wasn’t obsessed with Enzo. He had always been there.When I was little, he carried me on his shoulders during pack festivals because my tiny legs would hurt from walking too much. When I had nightmares, I used to sneak into his room and sleep beside
