Jaselyn's POV “Nila, how close is he?” I asked frantically, my heart in my throat.“He’s almost here. You need to hide, now.”I took a deep breath, steadying myself. I screamed as loudly as I could, the sound echoing across the mountainside, before gathering the last of my strength and sprinting away from the cliff. I dove behind a grassy knoll, pressing myself flat against the ground, my heart hammering in my chest. I held my breath, listening.A few seconds later, Zane crashed through the brush, his eyes wild, his gaze darting around. He spotted my shirt at the edge of the cliff and froze, his face twisting in confusion. He moved closer, his steps cautious, as if he wasn’t sure what he was seeing.He knelt down at the edge, picking up my shirt and sniffing it, his eyes narrowing. He glanced over the edge, peering down into the darkness below. I held my breath, praying he would believe the ruse.Zan

Jaselyn's POV Seeing my reluctance, Rion continued, filling the silence with his calm, steady voice. “After the doctor called me and gave me the address where you were being held, I rewarded her handsomely for her help and left Mother to handle the arrangements,” he explained. “You were being held in a small cottage on the mountainside of the Rock Hill Pack. It’s a small pack, just beyond Blue Solstice, one of the colony-like packs that depend on us. I felt so stupid for not realizing how close you were.”I listened quietly, absorbing his words as he recounted everything that happened after he found out where I was. “Erik, a few warriors, and I left for the Pack after I sent a message to the Alpha of Rock Hill. He was more than willing to let us search his territory. It didn’t take long before we found the cottage. But when we stormed in, it was empty.” Rion’s jaw clenched, his expression darkenin

Jaselyn's POV "Jas!" Rion's voice broke through the haze, and he rushed into the room, a tray of food in his hands. He saw the broken mirror and the fear on my face, and his expression turned to one of concern. "What happened? Are you okay?"I crawled out of bed and ran into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably. "He's here, Rion. Zane's here. He won't leave me alone."Rion wrapped his arms around me, holding me tight as he whispered soothing words in my ear. "It's okay, Jas. He's not here. He's gone. I'll prove it to you." He gently released me, moving around the room, opening closets and checking behind furniture, showing me there was no one else there. "See? He's not here. It's just us."I took a shaky breath, trying to calm myself as I watched him. His presence, his voice, it all helped to chase away the fear. "He's dead," Rion reminded me softly, coming back to my side. "You killed him. He can't hurt you anymore."I nodded, my body slowly rel

Jaselyn's POV “We’ve missed you so much, Jaselyn,” she murmured, her voice thick with emotion. “I’m so glad you’re okay.”Everyone gathered around, expressing their happiness at seeing me, relieved that both the babies and I were safe. Luna Daryna spoke up, her voice filled with sincerity. “We were worried sick about you, dear. I prayed every day for your safe return. Thank the goddess you’re back with us.”Lian, ever the joker, tried to lighten the mood. “Hey, Jaselyn,” he said with a playful grin, “you have no idea how much we’ve missed you. Without your smile around, I’ve had to tell twice as many jokes to keep everyone's spirits up. The pressure's been unbearable!”I couldn’t help but laugh at Lian’s joke, the sound bubbling up from somewhere deep inside me. It was the first genuine laugh I had felt in what seemed like forever, and it felt

Rion's POV Erik nods again, determination etched on his face. “We’ll find them, Alpha. I’ll bring Celio back, I promise.”He turns and disappears into the chaos with the two warriors, leaving me to continue my advance toward the Alpha’s office. My heart is pounding in my chest, a mix of adrenaline and anger fueling my every step. I will not rest until I have Isla and Celio. I will not rest until justice has been served.As I approach the Alpha’s office, I find Alpha Ezra sitting comfortably behind his desk, completely unbothered by the chaos unfolding around him. His expression is calm, almost bored, as if he had been expecting this all along. It’s infuriating, the arrogance and disdain in his eyes as he watches me approach.When I enter the room, he stands up and bows his head, a gesture of surrender. “I admit defeat, Alpha Rion,” he says, his voice steady. “I am not a fool who will die us
