Aurora.

The door slammed open with a force that made my heart lurch in my chest. Before I could even register what was happening, strong hands gripped my arms and shoved me forward, sending me crashing face-first into the cold floor. The impact rattled through my entire body, and my breath caught in my throat as pain shot up my spine. My cheek scraped against the rough surface, and I gasped, feeling the sting of it, but I didn’t dare cry out.

I was still in shock. Still trying to process the events that led me here. How had Ethan found me? How had he tracked me down despite everything I had done to stay hidden, to keep Ama safe from the chaos he brought into our lives? My mind swirled with a thousand questions, but the one that rose to the surface of my panic-stricken thoughts was the most pressing: Why is he still here? Why was he still after me, after everything that had happened three years ago when he rejected me so cruelly?

I pushed myself up from the floor, my hands shaking as I

    Ivan“How could you even think you could do this to me?”The sharp sting on my palm was immediate as I slapped him, the sound loud in the tense room. His eyes widened in shock, mirroring the disbelief I felt inside. Suddenly, the space between us felt suffocating, the silence heavy and unbearable. Kaiser’s quietness only fueled the storm of anger building inside me.“We had an agreement! You must be out of your mind if you think you can just use me again!”I didn’t mean to yell, but the truth hit me harder with each passing day — he had taken advantage of me once more. I had helped him get the investigation team on the case, only for him to ignore his end of the deal. The betrayal stung worse than I expected. I had someone like him under my control, yet here I was, feeling like nothing more than a pawn. How could I have been so blind? So foolish to trust someone I knew was toxic from the start? He was a dead end, and yet I’d let ambition cloud my judgment again.“What’s going on here?

    AuroraIt wasn’t warm upstairs, but the moment Alpha Ethan pulled off his shirt, the chill in the air faded from my mind. I stood in front of him, silently watching as he undressed, each motion deliberate and unhurried. Soon, he stood in nothing but his boxers. The moonlight spilled in through the window, highlighting every sculpted line of his chest and shoulders, casting shadows that made him look both ethereal and powerful.His tousled hair caught glimmers of that same silver light, and in that moment, I imagined his wolf was fierce, untamed, yet craving something only I could give. His presence felt raw and magnetic, something ancient and unspoken thrumming between us.He looked at me, his eyes heavy with longing, and then stepped forward. Without hesitation, he wrapped me in his arms, his kiss both gentle and overwhelming. There was so much behind it, weeks of yearning, truths finally exposed, and a silent hope that maybe, just maybe, this was a new beginning.We moved to the bed

    Alpha EthanI had been intending to visit Aurora that evening. The silence from her end had left me restless, and though my memory hadn’t returned, something deep within me remained tethered to her. But Meghan would never have allowed it. Her presence clung to me like an obligation I couldn’t shake. Still, when I saw Aurora standing quietly beneath the edge of my deck, her posture uncertain, her beauty stark in the dim light, it knocked the air out of me. My pulse kicked up, my chest tightened.Without a word, I gestured for her to come up the stairs and into the living room. Relief rolled through me like a wave, I hadn’t expected to see her, but now that she was here, I wanted nothing more than to hear her voice and maybe find some sense of peace.“Would you like a drink?” I offered.She slid her hands into the pockets of her jeans. “No, I don’t want to take too much of your time.”I motioned toward the stools facing the breakfast bar. She sat, nervously threading her fingers togethe

    AuroraThere were just four weeks left until my due date, and I had already started setting aside money, determined to be prepared for everything the baby and I would need. I had spoken to Elizabeth about her own experiences, and the way she lost everything had opened my eyes. I’d offered her a stake in the company, and although my heart was in the right place, I still hadn’t figured out how to make that offer real. The investigation was dragging on longer than expected, too long. They hadn’t yet gathered enough evidence to remove Kaiser from the company.The following morning, I arrived at the grocery store right on schedule for my shift. The sunlight filtered down through the treetops, painting golden streaks across the pavement. It felt like, for once, the universe and I were on the same page.As I stepped through the door, one of the other girls working there practically bounced off the counter to greet me. “Did you hear the news?”I frowned, setting my bag beneath the counter and

    Kaiser.After a full day cloaked in darkness and self-recrimination, I felt like I was hanging by a thread, unsure of my next move. Leaving the pack wasn’t an option, although I had reached out to the chief investigator to confirm that. If I could have just driven away, anywhere else, I would have.“You’re still considered a suspect,” the investigation leader had told me. “You have to remain here until we clear you.”“I’m your king, in case you forgot. Those documents aren’t forged!” I snapped, my frustration and anger bubbling over.“We’ll be in touch, King Kaiser.” Somehow, my phone still worked despite me having thrown it against the wall earlier. The screen was cracked badly, but otherwise intact, a small mercy since I couldn’t just drive into town to replace it. I felt utterly powerless, my hands tied. They might as well have locked me up for the freedom I lacked.Ivan’s face haunted me, every word she said cycling through my mind, as if I could uncover some hint of betrayal. I r

    Aurora.Heavy footsteps drew near, and the look on the woman’s face told me Elizabeth was coming toward us. “What’s going on here?” Elizabeth’s voice was strained, though she tried to sound lighthearted. “I didn’t realize you two knew each other. Am I in trouble?”“Probably,” the woman answered.“You should head home, Jonna,” Elizabeth said, turning to me.Jonna fixed a sharp look on me, then glanced up at Elizabeth. “No, I think I’ll stay a bit longer. Remember, we’ve still got a lot to discuss.”“I can handle it, Jonna,” Elizabeth said softly, wrapping her arms around her daughter. She flicked a sideways glance at me. “I’ve told you not to worry.”I couldn’t hold it in. The word “bullshit” slipped out, like we were sitting in a bar joking around. For a moment, Elizabeth’s face brightened, and she almost laughed. But then she recalled her frustration with me, though I had no idea what for and shook her head.“You need to go home now. You have your own life to live.”“Well, if you wan
