TESSA’S POV

I saw it the moment he walked into the office.

I knew something was wrong and it didn’t take long to figure out what.

That wasn’t him. I could see it—the restraint he was holding back, the war raging in his eyes.

For some reason, my thoughts drifted back to the conversation I’d had with Rex when I stumbled into his wing. He’d spoken about the distance he could go for the pack—for what belonged to them. I’d believed, then, that he was referring to the painting we were both admiring. But now, I could clearly see the hidden message. He was telling me exactly how far he’d go to protect his pack. And in his eyes, I was a… complication.

It wasn’t Wraith that wanted me gone. It was Alpha Rex.

And maybe he was right. After all, those soldiers died because of me, Wraith lost the fight against the Iron-side pack because of me, but I… couldn’t leave.

I meant every word I’d said to Wraith—every confession was genuine. It wasn’t the heat of the moment or desperation speaking. It was m

    I ran into the infirmary, Angelina right behind me.We nearly crashed into Jake, who stared at me with a questioning look.“You were supposed to keep her away,” he said to Angelina.“I tried, okay. But she wouldn’t listen.” I spotted the room Wraith was being taken into, and I hurried towards it, only to be stopped once again, but this time, by Natasha.“Where do you think you’re going?”“Natasha, I don’t have time for your games; get out of my way.”“Haven’t you done enough? He’s in there because of you.”I didn’t bother responding to her; her weak jabs were the least of my worries right now.“Get the fuck out of my way or else—”“Or else what? What can you do, little human?”“Please, just stop. I have to see him; he needs me.”“I’m on orders; no one goes in. The healers are working on him now; no one can be in there.”I took a deep breath. Stepping back, I located the nearest seat, and sank into one of the waiting chairs. Angelina joined me.“I’m so sorry.” She said to me, but I r

    We walked past a painting of Falcone Callister seated on a throne-like chair made of gold with a lion at his side.Rex snorted at it.Another picture caught my eye. A smaller one with a girl, no older than five. She had on a hat way bigger than her head and gave a bright smile to the camera. A cousin or friend, I assumed.“So that’s it then? It’s over.” I muttered to myself as we walked to the car waiting for us.Seeing the Callisters so desperate was a picture that would be stuck in my head for a very long time.“No, it’s far from over.” Rex said. “Run a check on everything Falcone owned, make sure it aligns with the records—”It had all happened so fast.A man on a bike drove past us with a weapon that had a resemblance to a gun in his hands. He aimed at Rex and shot.“Get down.” I growled, dragging Rex down and shielding him.The sound of a rifle tore through the air. A sniper’s bullet ripped through the attacker’s skull, sending him crashing to the ground and his bike falling over

    WRAITH’S POVI slipped a black suit over the long-sleeved shirt I was already wearing. A knock at the door pulled my attention.I walked to the door, pulling it open, and there she stood, with a tray of food in her hands.“You didn’t join us for dinner, I thought maybe I could bring you some food here.” She said,I wasn’t exactly hungry, but I let her in.She placed the tray on the table.Tessa hadn’t stepped into my room since the… incident. I must’ve scared her off. Even now, she avoided looking around, keeping her eyes fixed on me instead.“It’s time, right?” She questioned, and I nodded. “Do you really think it’s a good idea to meet them at their place? I mean, it just sounds… dangerous. What if they attack?”That had been my earlier concern. But Rex believed they wouldn’t. He believed that meeting with them at their home was safer.“You have nothing to worry about. We will be back in no time.” I assured her, but of course, that wasn’t enough to ease her worry.“I—I just wanted yo

    Tessa was already at her office by the time I arrived.Today, she dressed in a white blouse tucked into a tight-fitted, coffee-brown skirt that accentuated her curves.I walked into her office and shut the door behind me. The moment she noticed me, her face lit up with a smile. One that I didn’t return.“I just finished sorting out the files—I think I’m really getting the hang of this.” She said, excited.My hands clenched into fists, and I quickly shoved them into my pockets. Without bothering to respond to what she’d said, I moved on to the reason I was here.“Three days from now you’ll be signing the documents regarding the will. The assets would be moved under your name, and you would do as you wish with it.”Her smile disappeared.I could hear her heart rate speed up. Every part of me wanted to reach out to her, but I couldn’t do that.“You’re going to send me away, aren’t you?” She asked, her voice so low, she might have been talking to herself. Either way, I didn’t have an answ

    WRAITH’S POVI could never get enough of her.Before her, the only thing that kept me going was the anger and fury I’d held bottled up all these years. But now, she consumed my thoughts so much that some days I found it hard to think about anything else.I knocked twice before stepping into Rex's room. The first thing I noticed was the nude girl, lying cuffed to the bed. I’m guessing this was the ‘work’ that’d stopped him from attending the Mate Ball.The sound of the shower running told me exactly where he was.I walked to the nude girl, ignoring the scared look in her eyes, I took off the cuff.“Leave.”She quickly rose to her feet and hurried away.I placed the cuff on Rex’s drawer just as he walked out of the shower, with a towel wrapped around his waist.“I should have known a sexy, nude, helpless girl isn’t enough to tempt you, Ronan.” He said. Selecting a bottle of Velden Noir from the wine shelf, he poured it into two glasses, passing one to me.What Rex didn’t understand was
