REX’S POV

I’d been expecting the call. So the moment my phone rang, I knew exactly who was calling. I picked up after the third ring. “Hello, Uncle.”

A long moment of silence passed, before he finally spoke up.

“Maybe I underestimated you,” he said.

“You did.”

“But did you really think killing my soldiers would stop me?”

“No, but I do think it will slow you down. After all, you’ll need to gather a new army, and many won’t be very willing, especially since the news of how the previous had all been butchered is definitely bound to spread.”

“Well played, Sylas.”

“I couldn’t agree more.”

I rose to my feet, ignoring the slight pain. We might have succeeded in the battle against Aaron’s army, but just as Richard had predicted, it didn’t leave us unscarred. We’d lost at least a dozen soldiers, and many, including me, had ended up severely injured, but in the end, we won.

“I’m sure you think you’ve bested me—”

“It sure looks like it.”

He chuckled; there was no humor in it.

    I stood by the door to my mother’s apartment, fidgeting. How hard could it be to reach out and knock? I took a deep breath, and then I lifted my hand to do exactly that, but at the same moment, the door swung open.Standing before me was my mom and… a man.After the talk I had with Wraith, I decided he was right and perhaps I’d been a little too rash. But now, I couldn’t help but wonder if my coming was a mistake.“Tessa!” My mother called, clearly surprised to see me; from her red puffy eyes, I could tell she’d been crying.“Mom. I was just… passing by.”“Oh,” she said, quickly hiding her disappointment. She turned to the man by her side. “This is Derek. Derek, Tessa, my daughter.” So, this was him.The man’s gaze met mine, and I couldn’t help but notice that he was indeed nothing like any of those men my mother brought home in the past. For one, his breath didn’t reek of alcohol; secondly, he looked… responsible.“Mom, can I talk to you alone for a moment?”“Yeah, of course. Umm,

    TESSA’S POV “Luna,” a pack member called as she walked up to me. I think her name was Stela.“Stela, right?”“Oh my god, you actually know my name. I just wanted to say that you look really good today.”And yes, the pack members had been overly nice since the fight against Aaron. A lot has changed since then, actually. For one, I was a werewolf. Yes, I was yet to make a first full shift, but Wraith believed that the chances I’d be able to by the next full moon were pretty high.“Thank you, and I love your braids,” I complimented. “My sister made them. I always tell her how good she is at it, I guess now she would believe me.”“If you’d excuse me, I need to find Angelina.”“I actually spotted her heading to the pool; she might still be there.”“Thank you, Stela.”“My pleasure.”With that, we split ways.As I walked by pack members, they all bowed in acknowledgement. Well, it would take some time to get used to this.A smile stretched on my face as I made my way to the pool, but th

    LOGAN’S POV“Logan?” my mother called, walking out of her apartment. “How long have you been out here?”“A while.”“Why didn’t you come in?”“I… wasn’t ready.” I could feel her gaze on me, searching me. After a long moment of silence, she walked down her front steps and joined me on the porch, where I’d been seated for the past two hours.“Are you alright?”“No. I’m not.” I said, Because there was no point in lying or pretending that I was.“What happened?”“Why do you think I’d want to talk to you about it?”“I don’t know, maybe because you’ve been sitting on my porch for gods know how long, or perhaps it’s the fact that seeing you like this breaks my heart and I want to know how I can be of any help.”“I need to ask you a question. How did it happen, you and Falcone—how did it happen?”I’d never asked her, and neither had she offered to tell, but for some reason, I needed to know now.“How did it happen?” she repeated. “In truth, I do not know. I don’t know how I ended up his mistr

    WRAITH’S POVI sprinted into the Healing ward. “Where is she?” I questioned Helen—one of our pack healers."The Luna had been transferred to the critical care unit—"That’s all the answer I needed and now I sprinted for the CCU.Elizabeth was making her way out of one of the rooms, her gloved hands covered in blood. And from the scent, I could tell whose it was.“Alpha, I don’t think you should go in there—”I stepped past her, making my way into the ward Tessa had been transferred to. Healers swarmed the room, all doing their best to keep her breathing. It seemed nothing was working.“Leave us, all of you.”“But Alpha—”“Leave.”One after the other, they all walked out of the room, leaving me alone with her.Tessa’s heartbeat was so silent, I could have missed it, even in the silent room.I walked to the operating table she’d been placed on, noticing the stitches on her abdomen. Aaron Sylas had stabbed her thrice and left her in a pool of her own blood. If the bastard were still ali

    WRAITH’S POVJessica clenched the console tighter, her hands trembling.“You killed her,” she said to me. “She was innocent, and you killed her.”“You told me your daughter was dead.”“I did it to protect her! She was all I had… she was my everything, and you took her away.‘I’d be your greatest fear,’ you’d said, but I’d underestimated your cruelty, and now I’ll have to pay the price.”In truth, I’d been blinded by rage. I should have been able to see that the girl was younger; I should have known it wasn’t the same person from her scent. It was too late now; I’d killed her.‘Leave, now.’ I said to Jake through the mind link. Since he wasn’t in his wolf form, he couldn’t communicate back through the link, but I could sense his disagreement.‘Jake, if you don’t leave, we will die here together.’Still, he didn’t make a move; he was ready to die, but there was no reason why he should die too.‘It’s an order. The pack needs you, your mate needs you, and so does Tessa. Leave.’He couldn’

    Lilith swiped her access card through the slot, and the door to the control room slid open.She walked in, and I followed.There were about four surveillance staff, all humans, dressed uniformly in navy blue. Their alarmed gazes met us.“Miss L. Your mother has been waiting.” The one closest to us said, but I didn’t miss the suspicion in his eyes as his gaze trailed back to me.“I know that. But I was wondering if I could talk to you first.”“Lady Jessica might be your mother, but we both know that you aren't supposed to be here, and bringing him along..."I could see him secretly reaching for the red buttons. Red buttons were never good.Before he had the chance to push it, I yanked him up by the throat. The other two also reached out to do the same, but Lilith was faster.She smashed both heads against the table and, with one ruthless move, snapped their necks. Their limp bodies fell off the chair.“Kill him,” she said to me.“I promise—I won’t say any—”I snapped his neck, tossing
