April's POV

The days had blurred together since Cassius last walked into the bar. It was quiet, just the soft clinking of glasses, the low hum of a jukebox in the corner, and the occasional murmur of a conversation. I'd been trying to keep myself busy, focusing on the job, avoiding distractions. But no matter what I did, I couldn't escape the image of him standing there, looking at me with such vulnerability.

And I hated it.

Every time I thought I'd gotten over it, every time I told myself that I could handle this on my own, there he was again—his face, his voice, his stupid apology.

And yet, there I was, wiping down the counter, waiting. Waiting for him to show up again.

I heard the door swing open. It wasn't hard to tell who it was—no one moved like that. Cassius.

I didn't look up, but my body recognized his presence before my mind did. The air shifted heavier, and I gritted my teeth. I couldn't do this again. I couldn't hear him repeat his apology or tell me how much he cared, how

    APRILS POVThe air in the bar was thick and quiet, which made me uneasy. The kind of silence where you know something’s coming, even if you don’t know what it is. My senses were on high alert, my eyes flicking between the glass of beer in my hand and the rogue who had taken a seat at the counter. He wasn’t saying much, but his presence was loud enough.I couldn’t help but feel the weight of his gaze, the way he was watching me. I wasn’t sure if he knew exactly what I was, but I felt like he was trying to figure me out. My fingers tightened around my glass, keeping myself busy, though every nerve in my body screamed to leave the bar and get some distance between us. But I couldn’t. Not yet.It wasn’t the first time I’d encountered rogues in my travels, but something about this guy felt different. Maybe it was the quiet way he moved and seemed to be waiting for something—waiting for me to slip up. Or perhaps it was just the knowledge that he was part of the group that had been trailing

    APRILS POVI felt it again.The sensation crept up my spine, that all-too-familiar prickling feeling. My senses had always been sharp, and they were telling me, without a doubt, that I wasn't alone.I turned my head slightly, watching the shadows as I continued down the quiet street. The hairs on the back of my neck stood on end as I knew someone was following me. I didn't need to turn around fully to confirm it. The feeling in my gut—the way the air around me felt too heavy, too aware—told me everything I needed to know.I wasn't afraid, though. Not anymore. I could handle myself. It was what I'd been doing for months—surviving, always staying one step ahead. I was a rogue. And rogues didn't get caught."Stay close, Snow," I murmured to my wolf, whose presence stirred restlessly within me. I could feel her on edge, too. We were ready, prepared. The moment they tried something, we'd strike.I quickened my pace, keeping my steps light and deliberate. I wasn't sure how many there were o

    UNKNOWNS POVAfter a couple of days of stalking the bar and the bartender.We decided to move after the bar had emptied out one night. The girl had left, and the Alpha had not returned, but something was still lingering in the air—a sense of impending danger.The streets were eerily quiet as we followed her trail. She had gone down one of the side alleys, and we were determined not to lose her this time.I wasn't sure what it was about her. She was human, at least that's what it seemed. But the way she had interacted with the Alpha… it didn't add up.We were walking into something much bigger than we realized.Suddenly, we heard the unmistakable sound of footsteps behind us. A faint rustling, just out of sight."Keep your eyes open," I muttered. We weren't alone. And I had a feeling we were about to find out exactly why this town felt so strange.The night air had turned colder, an unnatural chill creeping through the alleyways, sending a shiver down my spine. I felt it then—an unsett

    Unknown's POVThe bar was thick with smoke and the murmur of voices. The fire crackled in the hearth, sending flickers of orange light dancing across the darkened corners of the room. Outside, the wind howled through the trees, the kind of storm that seemed to promise danger. But in here, everything felt still—too still, like the calm before the storm.I leaned back in the booth, the scent of cheap liquor and sweat clinging to the air, and scanned the room. My eyes flicked to Finn, who was staring at the doorway, eyes narrowed like a predator waiting for a rabbit to appear. Riker sat across from me, fiddling with his knife, his boots tapping absently on the wooden floor."Nothing yet?" Finn asked, his voice low and tight with frustration."No," I muttered. "We've been searching for weeks, and all we've found is a lot of nothing."The werewolf girl we'd been sent to find was still nowhere to be seen. The one who'd been asking too many questions—about packs, about the wolves hidden in t

    April's POVThe night felt heavier than usual, the kind of weight that pressed down on your chest and made you second-guess every decision you'd ever made. I leaned against the bar counter, the polished wood smooth under my fingertips. The crowd had thinned out, leaving only the regulars murmuring in hushed tones at the far end of the room.Cassius was gone.The moment he told me he had to leave, I felt that familiar pang of uncertainty. But for the first time in months, I didn't feel abandoned. He'd looked me in the eyes, his voice steady, and told me he'd come back. And I believed him.That scared me more than I cared to admit.I wasn't used to this—to someone showing up and staying, to someone wanting me for more than fleeting moments. He'd brought me flowers and even even coaxed a few real laughs out of me before he left. It was... nice. Too nice. And yet, as much as I hated to admit it, I missed him already.But tonight wasn't about Cassius.The rogues were back.They moved like

    Cassius's POVThe moon hung low in the sky, shrouded by dark clouds that carried the scent of impending rain. It mirrored the heaviness in my chest as I walked the perimeter of the pack lands. Every step echoed with the weight of responsibility, but my thoughts weren't entirely here. They drifted—always—to her.April.I tightened my coat against the chill and shook my head, trying to focus on the task at hand. "She's going to drive me insane," I muttered under my breath, but there was no real heat in the words.My Beta, Gabriel, chuckled from beside me, clearly having overheard. "You've got it bad, Alpha."I shot him a sideways glance. "You don't know the half of it.""She's different," he said, his tone turning serious. "I can see why you're drawn to her. But... does she know?"I knew what he meant. Does she know I'm an Alpha? Does she know what I'm risking every time I leave her side to deal with the rogues threatening our lands?"No," I said finally. "Not yet."Gabriel stopped wal
