Ryker"She is in danger, Alpha King. I need to go to her. Elias is Azura; I’ve kept her hidden and safe here with me so I could protect her," I confess, urgency lacing my voice.His eyes widen in shock, his heart hammering audibly in his chest. For a moment, disbelief flickers across his face, a mix of emotions flashing in his gaze—anger, fear, and something deeper, more vulnerable.The Alpha King’s shock morphs into a simmering rage, his fists clenching as he battles to suppress the storm of emotions brewing within. But beneath the fury, I catch a fleeting glimpse of fear—the same fear I feel for Azura, the kind that only comes from the thought of losing someone precious."We need to go. Now," he commands his guards, his voice a low growl. “Protect Alpha Elias at any cost, and whoever dares to come in between, don’t hesitate to rip their hearts out.” His guards bow to him and shift into their wolf forms, toward the hostel with unyielding resolve. Logan and I exchange a knowing look;

AzuraRyker pulls me closer to his chest, his lips finding mine with a desperation that takes my breath away. It's as if he's drawing life from me; the urgency and longing in his kiss are palpable. The familiar scent of cinnamon wraps around me, comforting and grounding, making my wolf stir with joy. He’s saved us again, she whispers, her tone tinged with reproach. She’s still upset with me for doubting him, accusing him of using me and questioning his loyalty. Can’t she give me a break? I’ve just fought the biggest battle of my life—teetering on the edge between life and death.A throat clears somewhere nearby, but Ryker doesn’t seem to care. He’s lost in the moment, in the need to reassure himself that I’m really here, safe and alive. I gently press my hands against his chest, pushing him back slightly, even though a part of me doesn’t want to let go just yet.“Are you okay, Azura? How are you feeling?” he asks, his voice laced with concern as he pulls away just enough to look into m

Ryker"You guys stay here and fight these monsters. Make sure the Alpha King stays safe," I instruct the guards, my voice firm and unwavering. Nolan and Elysia are already chanting their spells, their words merging into a powerful incantation. I don't waste a second—I scoop Azura into my arms, grab our phone, and prepare to contact the King and my Beta later."Your Highness has called his Beta and Gamma here. It's a war now. All the Alphas who came to participate in the Alpha battle will fight, so don’t worry about us," one of the guards replies, his tone resolute.‘Keep my daughter safe, Ryker. I don’t trust anyone here now. You’re my only hope. I need to know everything about her, but that motherfucker George has called a war upon us to free his son.’ The King’s voice echoes in my mind, his authority clear even through the mind-link. As the Alpha King, he has the power to communicate with all the Alphas via the mind-link, and only his heir can have this exclusive power that Azura has

RykerThe Alpha King’s eyes widen as he sees me approach, his heart pounding in his chest. Fear flashes across his features, but there’s something more—disappointment. “How could he let you come here?” he murmurs, his voice barely above a whisper, strained with disbelief.His gaze holds a mix of bewilderment and worry as he studies my appearance, clearly not expecting his daughter to be here. He’s tied to a chair, silver chains digging into his flesh, while George’s men stand ominously on either side, their expressions cold and unyielding.“I don’t understand why you would go against your own father when I have provided everything for you,” George’s voice booms, echoing through the dimly lit room. His anger is apparent, his eyes blazing as he glares at Nolan, who stands defiant, his face an emotionless mask.“You were raising me to be a monster,” Nolan retorts, his tone icy and resolute. “A mindless puppet to do your bidding, to carry out your twisted plans without question. You never

AzuraThe room feels smaller than it actually is, the air thick with anxiety as I pace restlessly. The soft hum of the heater does nothing to ease the cold dread settling in my bones. Elysia sits on the edge of a worn armchair, her gaze following me like a protective shadow. Kylie huddles on the couch, her eyes red and puffy from crying, while the healer prepares a concoction of herbs at the small kitchen counter.Every minute that passes without news feels like an eternity. I try to suppress the overwhelming fear gnawing at me, but my mind keeps circling back to Ryker and my father. Are they safe? Is Ryker’s disguise holding up? I want to believe that everything will go according to plan, but the stakes are too high, and my heart can’t shake the nagging sense of dread.Elysia clears her throat, drawing my attention. “Azura, you need to rest. Pacing won’t bring them back any faster.”I stop in my tracks, letting out a heavy sigh. “How can I rest when I don’t know if they’re okay? What
