Elena’s breath caught in her throat at the feeling of his finger against her lips. She should have pulled away. She should have looked anywhere but at him. But her body refused to move, trapped in the intensity of his gaze.

She knew he wouldn’t let this go. Asher wasn’t the kind of man to accept half-truths. But if he found out she had been planning to run, there would be no escaping his wrath.

Slowly, he dropped his hand, exhaling through his nose as if trying to control his own emotions. “You don’t trust me,” he stated, not as a question but as a fact.

Elena hesitated. “I don’t trust anyone.”

His jaw clenched, and for a moment, silence stretched between them. Then, in a voice quieter than before, he asked, “Did they really hurt you that badly?”

She turned away, staring at the wall where her tally marks were carved.

Yes.

But she couldn’t say it. She wasn’t ready to relive those memories, not with him standing so close, his presence pressing against her like a force she

    "R-really?" he questioned, his eyes already filling up with unshed tears.I nodded, "Of course."He sniffled, looking back down at him. "So, Jarek Kalon William Carter, he's going to love that when he gets older."He laughed a little and so did I."I love you." I stated, glancing over his features, and he looked up from Jarek."I love you so much, love." He walked over to me and leaned down, carefully with Jarek in his arms, to place his lips to mine.They connected in one of the most sweetest kisses ever. It was soft and brought me comfort and so much happiness that I felt my eyes water. When he pulled away, he kissed my cheek softly before standing up straighter. He sat in the chair next to the bed and stroked the black patch of hair on Jarek's head.Now as I sat holding my little pup in my arms who was perfectly healthy. And my mate, my fiancé, sat next to me with our boy who was also healthy. I couldn't be more happier. A part of me though knew something was missing and that was o

    Elena's POVPeople say before you die you see your whole life flash before your eyes or you're in so much pain you don't even know what's going on. For wolves I've come to know it's a lot more than that. It's seeing loved ones in slow flashes and it's reliving that last moment over and over. But, for me I wouldn't know for sure because, I never seemed to want to stay dead."Get out I've got it from here." I gasped deeply, relishing in the newfound oxygen filling my lungs.I looked around in a panic, my vision was blurry and I could only make out blobs of faces and bodies. My ears were also ringing non-stop."I'm right here." I shifted my gaze to the muffled noise until I felt the sparks on my face and the voice getting louder, "Love.""Asher," I managed to say, reaching my hands up shakily to grab his in mine.He grinned, his facial features visibly relaxing, "I thought we said no more dying on each other?" he breathed as his eyes were bloodshot red and his hair was disheveled."I'm s

    Once we made it inside, she led us towards the kitchen where tons of people were. Mostly pups who couldn't stop messing around. Especially Dawn who was very energetic courtesy of the many sweets she's had. But, once Jacob managed to get her seated and we sang happy birthday. The moment that I've quite literally been begging for, happened. Elena looked at me with an urgency to her and then her gaze dropped to the ground.Where her water had just broke.My eyes widened as I followed her gaze. My heartbeat quickened. Was it really time?"Um Asher." she spoke before a painful groan had left her lips alerting the whole pack.“Elena?” I stepped forward, instantly bracing her shoulders.“It hurts,” she gasped, grabbing onto my arms. “It really hurts.”Her knees had given out but, I swiftly picked her up in my arms just before she could hit the ground. She held onto me as I felt her pain kick in through the mate bond which stung at my heart.“Hang on, baby. I’ve got you,” I murmured against h

    Asher’s POV“Thank you for being here,” I murmured, offering a small, tight smile as Grayson gave my shoulder a supportive pat.“Of course, Alpha,” he replied with a knowing look, his tone edged with humor.I chuckled softly, shaking my head as I tugged at my collar, loosening it. “I told you to call me Asher—you never learn,” I teased, stepping over to the other side of my desk.Leaves crunched beneath our feet as we walked side by side, her arms gently wrapped around mine. The path to the river was silent except for that soft, steady sound, and as the cyan-blue water came into view, so did the group waiting for us. Jacob, Genevieve, Dawn, and my mom stood by the familiar boulders—the same spot where Elena and I once spoke about my father. Everyone was dressed in black. Even Grayson and his mate were standing with them, offering silent support.Some members of the pack stood slightly apart, forming a respectful distance. All eyes followed us as we walked closer to the river’s edge.I

    Elena POV I felt Genevieve move closer, her hand gentle as it rested on my shoulder. The atmosphere in the room was heavy with sorrow, every person fully aware of the sadness lingering between us. As Jacob rose to go speak with Asher, Margot stepped in, wrapping her arms tightly around me. That nearly shattered my composure. She had always made me feel safe, the way a mother should, and her familiar coconut scent wrapped me in bittersweet comfort. As she pulled away, I sniffled and looked around, suddenly noticing someone missing. “Where’s Dawn?” I asked softly, hoping to lift the tension clouding the room.Moments later, I heard soft footsteps outside the door before it swung open and Dawn barreled into the room with that bright grin of hers. Without hesitation, I scooped her up by the arms and lifted her into my lap. She quickly adjusted, looping her little arms around my neck while I rubbed her small back in slow motions. My eyes drifted to Jacob and Genevieve, sharing silent unde
