INICIAR SESIÓNChapter 51Soraya’s POV“That son of a bitch… Silas cursed under his breath when he saw the chip and I equally agreed with his words.“He can’t track us anymore,” I replied about crushing it when Silas stopped me."Soraya, wait!" Silas hissed, his hand shooting out to grab my ankle before I could bring my foot down. He was leaning against the log, his face pale as he pressed a clump of moss against the bleeding cut on his neck. "If you smash it, the signal goes dead. If the tracker stops moving or completely vanishes from their monitors, your parents' recovery team will know we found it. They’ll immediately lock down the entire perimeter."I looked down at the blinking light, my chest heaving as the distant sound of heavy boots crunching through the underbrush grew louder. They were closing in."Then I’ll take it," I whispered, the realization hitting me with a sudden, calm clarity. My wolf, Maya, paced in the back of my mind, practically begging to run. "I'll use my speed. I can run
Chapter 50Soraya's POV "How could you?" I whispered, my voice mix of anger and disbelief. "How could you keep that kind of information from us? From Silas? From me?"Lucius didn't look remorseful. He just wiped a hand over his tired face and met my gaze with a cold, logical stare. "There was no point in bringing up something we couldn't change, Soraya. It’s simple biology and math. We didn't want to waste the little time we have left on false hopes.""We were already ready to give our lives for Silas," Jax added, his rough voice completely devoid of any emotion, like he had already accepted his own funeral. He leaned against the table, staring at the floor. "He’s been through so much. He deserves the chance to actually have a future. Lucius and I... we're fine with this.""That is not your decision to make!" I screamed, the sound tearing from my throat so loudly that Jax actually flinched. "Who gave you the right to play god with your own lives? We have all been through so much! Eve
Chapter 49Soraya’s POVBy the time I walked back into the cabin, the sun was just beginning to peek over the tree line. My body was completely exhausted from the shift that I slept in until afternoon the next day.When I finally went downstairs around noon, the tension in the living room was thick enough to cut with a knife.Jax was sitting at the dining table, a mug of black coffee gripped tightly in both hands. He looked terrible. His skin was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and he had a wet towel pressed against the back of his neck. He was completely sober now, but incredibly hungover. And the moment he looked up and saw me standing on the bottom step, I could practically feel the heavy, invisible wall he had built between us slam right back into place.He didn't smile. He didn't ask how I was doing. He just stared through me, completely acting like our night in the town had never happened."Morning," Silas said softly from the kitchen counter. He was the only one who actually ack
Chapter 48Soraya's POV I had never seen Jax disorganized before. In all the time I’d known him back at the academy, he was the one who always looked like he had everything entirely under control, even when he was breaking the rules. Seeing him now with his hair messy, his shirt wrinkled, and his shoulders slumped over a sticky wooden bar felt completely wrong.I walked over to the back of his stool, the floor sticky beneath my boots. "Jax," I said softly, reaching out to touch his shoulder.He didn't jump. He just slowly turned his head, his eyes bloodshot and unfocused as he looked up at me. A bitter, heavy smell of whiskey hit my face."Soraya," he mumbled, a sloppy, lopsided smile appearing on his face before it quickly melted away. "What are you doing here? You shouldn't be in a dump like this.""You need to get up," I said, trying to pull his arm gently. "We’re going home. You're completely wasted, Jax."He pulled his arm back, shaking his head as he stared down at the empty sh
Chapter 47Soraya's POV"Why do I know that name?" Jax said, his voice cutting through the heavy quiet that had settled over the room. Lucius didn't even stop sorting through the papers in his hands. He just glanced up for a fraction of a second, his expression completely blank. "It doesn't ring a bell," he said, his tone flat and unbothered. He went right back to checking the files.Silas frowned, taking a step toward the couch. "Jax, what do you mean you know him? What was he planning—""Silas," Jax interrupted, cutting him off. He stood up from the sofa, dusting off his jeans with a slow, deliberate motion. "Stop. The less we know about whatever is happening back there, the better." He looked over at Kendrick, his face a completely unreadable mask. "We left Blackwood Academy for a reason. We’re not planning to return anyway. What happens to that place isn't our problem anymore."I stood paralyzed, my eyes darting between the three brothers. A cold, sinking feeling settled deep in
Chapter 46Soraya’s POVThe pain within was just as miserable as any physical wound I'd felt.I resented I felt so bitterly watching him with someone else, even Maya, my inner wolf, let out a low, agonizing groan, curling inward. His mark on my neck didn't help but at least I could blame it on the mate bond that sent my emotions of betrayal into sensory overload."What the hell do you think you're doing, Jax?" Silas snapped, his deep voice echoing over the rushing sound of the stream.Jax slowly pulled his mouth away from the girl's, his eyes entirely unbothered as he turned his head to look at his brother. "You need to mind your tone, Silas," he said, his voice completely casual as if he expected us to be there.The blonde girl took a small step back, her cheeks flushing a bright, embarrassed pink. But instead of running away, she leaned her shoulder heavily against Jax’s chest, looking up at him awestruck.Watching her touch him like that made my blood boil. The heat in my veins we
Chapter 37Soraya’s POVWhen I returned Silas was wrapped in a blanket and he was back. Though John wasn’t what I expected, it was his advice that returned Silas back to normal so instead of giving the bad news I joined them."How do you feel?" I whispered, as they got close.“I’ve seen better days
Chapter 36Soraya's POV"Jax! Lucius!" I screamed, dropping to my knees between them.Jax was flat on his stomach now, his fingers clawing at the wooden floorboards as his body violently shuddered. Lucius was leaning heavily against the table, his eyes wide and completely bloodshot, thick black vei
Chapter 34Soraya’s POV“You have to believe us, she’s lying,” I yelled my voice louder than the alarms.I looked at the maid grabbing her arm, the maid shuddered making me look worse in front of the alpha. “Say the truth right now, the camera…My tongue felt stuck as the realization hit that I tur
Chapter 33Soraya’s POVWe ran down to the hospital like it was an emergency because it was!Our boots pounded as we slammed through the double doors leading into the main ward. The nurses awoke to look at us, and a doctor yelled for us to stop, but we ignored them completely, hoping on getting to
