Chapter Thirty Eight

Kyra

I waited until after my shift at the diner before sneaking off the pack house.

Cherry was going to have a fit if she knew I was wandering around on my own again, but technically I wasn’t breaking any rules. I wasn’t leaving pack land. I wasn’t doing anything reckless. And most importantly, I needed this.

I balanced the basket on my hip as I made my way toward the clearing where Cherry and Josh trained. Beth had practically stuffed the thing to bursting when I told her

    Chapter FortyKyraEverything happened at once.The rogue hit Cherry mid-air, their bodies colliding with a sickening crack as they rolled across the clearing. Josh slammed into its side an instant later, his jaws snapping shut around its neck but the wolf was stronger than both of them. It shook violently, throwing Josh off like he weighed nothing.“Josh!” I screamed.He crashed into a tree, the impact knocking the breath from him. He slid down the trunk and didn’t get up right away.Panic exploded in my chest, I was frozen on the ground I didn't know what to do.Cherry staggered to her feet, blood matting the fur along her shoulder, one eye already swelling shut. She planted herself between the rogue and me anyway, legs trembling but stance unyielding.“Stay behind me,” she growled, her voice rough and strained even in wolf form.The rogue circled, slow and deliberate now, like it knew it had the advantage. Its gaze flicked past Cherry—straight to me. Its lips peeled back, saliva dr

    Chapter Thirty NineTristanTristan knew something was wrong long before Isaac said a word.It was subtle at first—an itch under his skin, a low hum of unease that wouldn’t quiet no matter how much he buried himself in work. The packland was secure. The borders were warded. The pack was restless but compliant. By all accounts, everything was exactly as it should be.And yet.Ren prowled inside him, hackles raised, senses stretched thin. The wolf hadn’t settled since the night Kyra ran from him, and that alone was enough to put Tristan on edge. Ren was never this agitated without reason.“You feel it too,” Tristan murmured, staring out the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office at the treeline beyond the pack house.Ren answered with a low, dissatisfied growl.A knock sounded at the door. Isaac entered without waiting to be invited, his expression tight in a way Tristan had come to recognize over the years. Not panic. Not fear. Vigilance.“Border patrol checked in,” Isaac said. “Twice.

Beth had practically stuffed the thing to bursting when I told her where I was going—meat pies, wrapped sandwiches, a thermos of hot chocolate, and something sweet she’d winked and called “emergency morale boosters.”The sounds reached me before I saw them.The dull thud of bodies hitting the ground.Sharp exhales.The snap of air as fists cut through it.Cherry had Josh in a headlock when I stepped into the clearing.“Tap out,” she grunted.“In your dreams.” Josh wheezed, struggling uselessly.“Josh,” I called.They both froze.Cherry whipped around so fast sh

    Chapter Thirty SevenKyraI slammed my bedroom door shut and pressed my back against it, breath shallow, heart pounding like I’d sprinted miles instead of down a hallway. My chest ached with raw frustration—at him, at myself, at everything that kept dragging us together— only to tear us apart again.I hated him and I hated myself more.But worst of all, I hated how much I still wanted him… I slid down the door until I was sitting on the cold floor, burying my face in my palms. I didn’t know how long I stayed like that, my breath hitching, tears dripping onto my knees, but eventually I dragged myself up and climbed into bed without bothering to change. Exhaustion hit me like a truck, but sleep didn’t come easily. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Tristan standing there with that unreadable expression, like he was always one breath away from saying something that would either ruin me or save me, and choosing to do neither.By morning, my eyes burned and my head throbbed, but I dragge

    Chapter Thirty SixTristanTristan stood in the corridor long after Kyra’s footsteps faded, the echo of her words still ringing in his ears like a wound that refused to close.'I keep wishing you’d take the offer.'They clawed at him worse than any insult ever could.He didn’t remember moving, only that at some point he found himself standing outside her bedroom door. The hallway was quiet, the lights dimmed for the night, the estate holding its breath the way it always did when his emotions ran too close to the surface.His hand lifted, paused then lowered to his side.Ren stirred restlessly beneath his skin, pacing, snarling, urging.'Mate. She’s hurting. You did this.'“I know,” Tristan muttered under his breath his jaw tightening.From behind the door came the faintest sound—soft, broken. A stifled inhale. A sob she was trying not to let escape.His chest constricted violently.For a terrifying second, instinct took over. Alpha. Mate. Protector. His body leaned forward, palm flatt

    Chapter Thirty FiveAfter I was done stewing, I went back to the kitchen. Bryan didn’t demand any explanations which was good since I don’t plan on giving any, he did ask if I was okay though and I appreciate that. I didn’t acknowledge Tristan the entire time, but I could feel his eyes burning a hole through me.By the time my shift was over, part of me was inclined to breathe a sigh of relief when I saw Tristan gone but the other part was disappointed. Bryan offered to give me a ride home on his motorbike and I didn’t protest because it was dark. I took the helmet from him just as a town car stopped in front of us and the tinted window rolled downto reveal Tristan.‘’get in.’’ he said.‘’no I’m fine.’’‘’It wasn't a request and I don’t like to repeat myself kyra.’’‘’um, maybe you should do as he says.’’ Bryan said. I sighed, what choice do I have anyway?I said goodnight to Bryan and hopped into the car. We drove in silence most of the way until he broke the ice by saying, ‘’happy b
