The first thing that struck me when I entered the bar was the expression on Navian’s face that resembled fatigue and some other feeling that was hard for me to define.Each step I took in his direction caused an uncomfortable pain in my chest; it became tighter with every stride I made.This man who has undergone so much for the sake of both myself and Owen was simply sitting there all worn out and dejected. It was because of him that Owen and I were still alive, still safe.He had risked everything to protect us from those men Hannah had sent. And here I was, living comfortably, while his life seemed to be falling apart.The weight of that realization struck me hard. I had never meant to cause a rift between him and Elena. She was the perfect woman for him—strong, beautiful, and deeply in love with him.But this jealousy she felt toward me was driving him crazy. I never wanted that. I wanted him to be happy, to feel secure in his relationship. And now, I was the reason he was going t

Landen's PovBefore my desk were old papers covered in dust for years now. Some days like today are not annoying because they allow us to reflect on what has happened but today is just like any other day.The messy shuffle of memories amazed me when a small envelope with frayed corners attracted my attention. My heart sank upon seeing Anna’s handwriting It was delicate yet familiar; I had not seen that envelope for too long and I had forgotten about it even longer.But as I pushed it out and opened it like wet leaves in spring seasons when flowers start to bloom again, my heartbeat increased within me.The photographs are faded due to time but inside one corner is an image of Anna taken during previous years. For a while, I just fixed my gaze on this image where she is immortalized while time goes on beyond comprehension that is in terms of beauty and gracefulness. She stood there before the window of our old house while light filtered through her silhouette creating some hazy halo ef

Landen’s POV"Alpha, I think it's time to stop this, I honestly do not know where my sister is,"Bethel said sharply, his eyes hard as he turned away from the gifts I had brought. His voice, usually calm and steady, carried a weight of frustration that made me uneasy."You know very well Annabeth does not share her misery; she bears her pain alone," he continued, a subtle tremor of sadness coloring his words."I had no idea you had even divorced until I learned that the Alpha's wife had a son. I thought to come to congratulate my dear sister, only to hear she wasn't the Luna."Those words—simple, direct, and honest—cut through me like a blade. The sting of it settled deep in my chest, making it hard to breathe.Bethel's tone wasn’t accusatory; it was resigned as if he had long accepted that life was cruel to his sister, and now, he had just learned how cruel it had been."I… I am…" The words caught in my throat. What was I supposed to say? I couldn’t justify my choices. Not to him. No

My mind was thrown into a complete panic as I saw the horrifying scene of Owen standing in the middle of the road, right before the car was speeding at him.As I stared in dread, it seemed as though time had stopped and every second was agonizingly slow. My body responded before my mind could process it; without realizing it, I braced myself as I ran toward Owen by pressing my hand to the ground. His huge, confused eyes were fixed on mine, but he remained motionless—not even flinching.Every instinct was screaming for me to help him, and my pulse was racing, but I knew deep down that my human power would not be sufficient. The car was too close, and despite how fast I ran, I couldn’t outrun it. Desperation clawed at me as I realized I wouldn’t make it in time. But in my wolf form, I could be faster, stronger.The thought flashed through my mind, but it was too late to shift. The car was nearly upon him.Out of nowhere appeared a colossal dark shadow just when I assumed he was lost f

Two days had passed since Mikel's remarkable recovery, and it felt as if time had spun backward. The bond we once shared, the easy chatting, had rekindled effortlessly.It was as though we hadn’t spent years apart, living separate lives. Today, Mikel decided to visit my boutique after he realized I own the popular Kurtna Fashion House.The mall was bustling, and as we strolled through, it felt like old times—except for the fact that so much had changed."Hey, when are you leaving Shadow Pack?"I asked, trying to sound casual as we walked together, the sound of our footsteps blending with the hum of shoppers around us."Uhm, not after seeing you here, Anna," he replied, his voice warm, with that familiar tone that always hinted at something more.I looked at him, slightly taken aback by his words. There was a depth in his gaze that made me uneasy. It was the same look he used to give me before we knew we weren’t destined to be mates.I quickly shifted my focus, trying to avoid the emot
