Rayne POVThe stranger’s hand hovered in the air between us, and my whole body felt like it was on a burning fire. I barely knew this man who claimed to be my new mate but, this supposed second chance mate—but something in me pulled toward him, a bond that was undeniable and completely different from what I had with Mateo on the Rejection night.“Rayne…” Mateo’s voice was soft, yet filled with a raw desperation and regret. “You don’t have to go with him.”I took a deep breath, the weight of both their gazes on me, with my heart racing so hard with multiple thoughts that I can't even control. The intensity was fully suffocating, like being trapped between two waves, each one threatening to drown me. I turned to Mateo, my heart twisting at the pain in his eyes, and then to the stranger, who radiated a fierce energy that both excited and terrified me.The stranger stepped closer, his voice low but commanding. “You feel it deep within you, don’t you, Rayne? You’re drawn to me because f

Rayne POVKael’s hand brushed mine, his touch grounding yet possessive, as if silently claiming something neither of us had acknowledged. It was totally strange, this feeling of comfort around him, like a tether that held me steady against the storm of emotions and power surging through me. But across the clearing, I caught Mateo’s gaze, his expression sharp and watchful over my every foot step, as if he were trying to decipher a puzzle no one else could see apart from him.“Rayne,” Kael’s voice brought me back from my thoughts, his tone low and reassuring at same time. “We should keep moving. Staying here only invites more danger and harm.”I nodded, feeling the weight of his words. My heart was still pounding from the encounter with the mysterious figure in the woods, and Kael had insisted we get as far from the rogues as possible. But Mateo’s presence was an anchor I couldn’t just ignore or walk away from, his silent suspicion clinging to every step Kael took.“Mateo,” I said,

Rayne POVThe night felt colder, the darkness around us thickening like an angry cloud over us. I tried to focus, to gather my thoughts, but the voice that had emerged from the trees held a power that stole every bit of warmth from the air.A man stepped forward from the shadows, tall and imposing, his smirk dangerous as his eyes gleamed with a dark thrill. He moved with a predator’s grace, calm and unbothered by our presence. And somehow, his confidence was the most unsettling thing of all things ever.“Who are you?” I demanded, my voice louder than I intended it to be. Beside me, Kael tensed, and I could feel Mateo shift subtly, both of them on high alert on who this new man was.The man’s smirk widened as his gaze flicked to each of us. “Ah, Rayne,” he murmured, his voice deep and smooth, yet carrying a hint of malice. “I’ve heard quite a bit about you. And I must say, meeting you in person… it’s even better than I imagined.”Kael stepped in front of me, his jaw clenched, his stan

[ Much ealier before I came out ]The forest seemed quieter than usual, almost unnaturally so, as I stepped out into the moonlight. The packhouse was suffocating tonight, filled with too many whispers and too many suspicious glances. I needed air, space to think about everything that was happening. [ Present time ]Kael had been acting… different lately. The protective way he looked at me felt sincere, but there were moments—fleeting moments—when I caught something else were hiding in his gaze. Was it a flicker of darkness, like a shadow too stubborn to stay hidden. I clenched my fists and inhaled deeply, the cool breeze brushing against my skin. Maybe Mateo’s paranoia was getting to me already. He had been relentless in his accusations, constantly watching Kael like he was waiting for him to slip up from those shell he hid himself.But was it really just Paranoia or he was seeing something I just couldn't see? I shook my head, trying to banish the thought and have a good time

Rayne POVMateo’s words wouldn’t leave my mind. "He is the darkness". The words were strong, all my try to get pass these Word's were totally in vein.I stared at Kael as he leaned against the wall, catching his half lost breathe.His normally calm features were pale, his hands trembling slightly. He’d saved me again. But there was something off. Something undeniable. Something strange. “You okay?” Kael asked, his voice hoarse, cutting through my tangled thoughts. I nodded automatically to his words. “Are you?” I questioned.He offered a small smile, though it didn’t reach his eyes. “Yeah. That thing was stronger than I expected of it to be, but it’s gone now atleast.” Mateo scoffed from the corner of the room, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth. “Gone? You don’t even know what you’re dealing with.” Kael’s head snapped toward him, his jaw tightening with something within. “And you do?” his words felt attacking.Mateo pushed off the wall and took a step closer, his
