Zachary’s POVI had just tucked Hailey into bed. I didn’t plan to speak to Brenda after. I never do. But she would always stand there and watch me with a smile on her face before I head towards the door.So I would say I was shocked not to see her lingering around me today. I decided to check her room.The door creaked as I pushed it open, the familiar scent of wood and faint traces of lavender greeting me. Brenda’s scent. It used to comfort me, but now it felt like a reminder of everything that went wrong. My eyes narrowed as they landed on the bed where she lay, her face pale and sweat dampening her forehead. She was barely moving, almost lifeless.Part of me wanted to walk away, just like I always did. Leave her to deal with whatever mess she’d gotten herself into this time. But something in me hesitated. I stood at the doorway, torn between resentment and responsibility.“Zachary…?” Her voice sounded weak, barely audible. I have to admit, it used to make my heart race, but now it o

Brenda’s POV:I could be content with just this, and we can continue to be like this, even without the romantics in between acting as husband and wife.The morning passed swiftly in a blur of laughter and light conversation. Zachary and I played games with Hailey. It’s been so long since Hailey chased us around the house with not only me but also Zacary. After that, we all sat down to watch Hailey’s favorite movie which had been all about Barbie and princesses trying to claim a place in this large castle. They were all adamant to prove their titles as princesses and ultimately settle on the throne in their gigantic mansions, it made me smile sadly.What use is a castle when you can’t live happily in it? Isn’t that the point in fairytales, to live happily ever after?I’m afraid mine wouldn’t be so.Despite it all there is one good thing that happened to me. And that is none other than Hailey.Hailey nestled into the tiny space between us as we began the show.She kept on twisting and s

Zachary’s POV:Isn’t she supposed to be happy? Shouldn’t she run straight into his arms the moment she saw him walk through that door? Something is not right here.I kept my eyes glued to the screen.I had always known Gabriel was bad news, but seeing him like this, seeing him so close to my family, it made my blood boil. He was the reason for all the pain in our lives, the reason Brenda and I were stuck in this mess. The more I watched, the more my anger grew, but it was what came next that made my blood run cold.I saw everything. How Gabriel yanked her by the hair as he dragged her over the table, threatening her and making her write that stupid ass letter. My face darkened, seeing Brenda’s tear-filled eyes the entire time Gabriel was there. Her body shaking, and how she flinched each time he went to touch her.Hailey peeked over my shoulder, her tiny hand resting on my arm. “Daddy, that’s the bad man,” she whispered suddenly.I turned to look at her, my heart sinking. “What do you

Zachary’s POVThe news of Gabriel’s death, the late alpha who abandoned his own pack, spread like wildfire through the pack. It also alerted Logan, and he came over yesterday so I could fill him up with the details. I told him everything, right from the beginning. Of course, I wouldn’t have known anything if it weren’t for Brenda, who gulped down loads of water down her throat every time she stopped while giving me the whole story. Her story.I have known everything since day one, or since I met her in the summer camp training. My heart sank as I watched her lips tremble and eyes redden with incoming tears as she recalled the events. And I was glad she told me, because had I known all that prior to confronting Gabriel, I would have saved his ass too only so I could kill him slowly for what he did to her. But he’s gone now. I think to myself each time I feel like nearing to shift. Hailey and Brenda are safe. And that’s all that matters.Evvie came by swell. She was so worried she cried

Pixie’s POV;“I’m ok now,” Evvie says pulling away from me.I smiled, relief washing over me to see her actually smile back.“Good,”Silence fell between us, but it wasn’t uncomfortable.“When are you planning to tell him?”“Hopefully, now,” she says, wiping her wet cheeks.“Alright. Let’s go.” I said.“But first,” I held up my hand and she glances at me just as she was about to turn on the ignition.“I’m driving,” Knowing she’s pregnant and under evident stress, I can’t let her drive anywhere on her own.Evvie then sucks in a deep breath, shaking her head as she hands over the keys. “Alright, but if you so much as scratch my car, you’re buying me a new one.”I laughed, slipping into the driver’s seat. “Deal.”The drive the way back was filled with comfortable silence. We didn’t bother turning the radio on, because we have our own thoughts filling our heads. I couldn’t help but worry for Evvie. Yet, my mind also kept wandering back to Cole and Ethan.When we arrived at the pack house,
