Chapter 32 Sam’s POV For the first time in years, I felt at ease with everything. I had a job, I had friends, and I also had a wonderful boyfriend. Dating in the human realm was different than in the werewolf community. The men were less possessive and much more understanding of their feelings as such. Still, the sex was incredible. Ace was a giver in all aspects, and it was enough for her. She would sometimes think about the family and friends she had left behind. Every so often, her thoughts would be filled with the memory of past lovers. People who had betrayed and hurt her deeply. But that was in the past. She missed her brother Jake deeply, but he had made his choice when he decided to gang up on her with her exes. Shit, what a douche he was. He wanted to help her, but just like the other males, he had his ideas and reasons for what he thought was the best for her. Being in the human realm made everything seem much more manageable. Every morning was pret

Chapter 34 Ace’s POV One year. One year of peace and endless love. That was it. Shit. I knew the deal with werewolves and their mates, and it’s not as simple as one can think. I also know how hard Scar has tried to move on. She has changed her appearance and her name and has moved to the human realm to have a life with me. I know she is serious about us, I know that, but I can be almost fucking sure that the Alpha has something up his sleeve. I shouldn’t have just ended the call, but jealousy hit me hard and heavy. I need to stop this nonsense. I need to claim Scar as my woman. She is mine. But I also know that love can be challenging. The mate thing is a big fucking problem, and all I can hope for is that the Alpha is severe in love with Scar's friend. I quickly get freshen up. I text Scar that I Love her and’m sorry for hanging up. She doesn’t respond and probably because she is busy working. I put on some nice clothes, dark ripped jeans, a plain t-shirt, and some cologne th

Chapter 36 Foxy’s POV I’m no longer Sam. I feel it so clearly as we walk to the table where Alpha Blair and my old friend Micki are waiting. Sam would never betray Micki by hooking up with her fiancé behind her back. Shit. What was I thinking? I didn’t know that was for sure. And, of course, the Alpha didn’t resist me either. If not, he welcomed my advances. I’m Foxy, and that will never change. I won’t dwell on the past anymore. I will continue my journey to my independence, but I need to be wise regarding what the Alpha can do for me. I need my wolves. It doesn’t matter how great Ace is; he can’t make me completely whole. I need more. I give Micki a hugh, but I feel like a traitor. She looks happy to see me again, but something still lingers in her gaze when she watches me. Can it be jealousy? She knows about my past with Blair, and perhaps that’s it. She knows how strong the mate bond can be, which may be the ultimate test of their relationship. “So, how did you two meet?” I ask

Chapter 38 Foxy’s POV “Lily,” I Whisper. “Lily, Are you there?” The silence is devastating. “Lucy, are you with me, girl?”. Nothing, just silence in return. I glance around in the restaurant, and there is a huge fucking mess. People hide behind tables, screaming and shouting for someone to call the police. There is nothing I can do now. I made my choice, and I need to stick to it. I crawl towards Alpha Blair, but his eyes are closed, and I can hardly breathe. Am I too late? Did I not react fast enough? My heart is breaking. “please, please, be okay.” My tears are falling, and I’m trying to undress his shirt so I can examine the damage. Just two inches above his heart is the silver bullet. I can still see it. I quickly dig my fingers into the bloody wound and remove the bullet. Still nothing from Blair. He is silent and barely breathing. I need to help him. I need to be strong. I look over my shoulder, and there are bodies everywhere. The rage of Lily, protecting what is hers. Tear
