ZANEThe air was thick with tension as we stood under the moonlight. I looked at the woman standing a few feet away, her hood casting shadows over her face. She had offered to lead us to a convent where she claimed we might find Sierra or at least some clue about her.I turned to my brothers, my gut twisting. “Do you guys really think this is a good idea?” I asked, my voice tight. “We don’t know this woman. For all we know, this could be a trap.”Kane shrugged, his tone calm but firm. “We don’t have many options, Zane. Sierra and her baby sister are out there somewhere, and every second we waste could mean danger for them.”Dane chimed in, his voice more relaxed but equally determined. “She said she knows something, and we need all the help we can get. If this leads us to Sierra, then it’s worth the risk.”I crossed my arms, shaking my head. “Something feels off, though. Think about it. Everything’s been too smooth. This random stranger just happens to know where we should go? It does

DANEThe first thing I felt was the cold. The second thing was the tight grip of chains around my wrists and ankles. My head throbbed as I forced my eyes open, and it took me a moment to realize I was sitting on a stone floor. Panic surged through me when I saw Zane and Kane slumped nearby, also chained.“Guys,” I rasped, my throat dry. “Wake up!”Kane groaned again, his body shifting slightly as he started to regain full consciousness. Zane blinked a few times, his eyes narrowing as he took in the strange, dimly lit room. He looked around quickly, his face hardening.“What the hell happened?” Zane’s voice was rough, but there was an edge of anger to it. He was trying to make sense of everything.I shook my head, the confusion still clouding my mind. “I don’t know. Last thing I remember… Gerald’s laugh.” The sound still echoed in my ears, haunting, twisted, and so unnatural. It made my skin crawl just thinking about it. The memory of that laugh made my stomach churn like I had just sw

DANEThe sound of the heavy wooden door creaking open made my heart lurch, but I kept my face stoic. It was Gerald. Of course, it was Gerald.“Ah, Dane,” he drawled, stepping into the room with his trademark smirk. “How’s our brave warrior holding up?”“What do you want, Gerald?” I snapped, glaring at him with all the venom I could muster. “Haven’t you had your fun yet?”He chuckled, his eyes glinting with malice. “Oh, not even close. You see, there’s still something I need from you. From all of you, actually. But let’s start with you.”I narrowed my eyes, my chest heaving. “Spit it out already.”Gerald’s grin widened. “I need you to reject Sierra. One by one, all of you must sever your ties with her. Do that, and maybe I’ll consider letting you all go."The words hit me like a punch to the gut, but I didn’t let it show. I leaned forward as much as the chains allowed and sneered. “You’re delusional if you think I’ll ever do that. Go to hell, Gerald.”The smirk never left his face. He

ZANEThe moment Sierra’s body slumped, I caught her instinctively, my arms curling around her trembling form. Her weight was light, too light, and it terrified me.“Kane, grab Dane! We need to get out of here,” I barked, my voice cracking under the pressure. Sierra’s shallow breathing filled my ears, and her baby sister, bundled in a cloth, let out a weak cry. I adjusted the child in my grip, cradling her carefully while holding onto Sierra.Kane didn’t hesitate. He hoisted Dane over his shoulder, though he struggled under the weight. “Let’s move,” Kane growled, his tone sharp with urgency.The halls felt endless as we ran, each step echoing like a drumbeat in my chest. Sierra was still out cold, her head resting against my shoulder. The baby’s cries grew louder, a desperate, heart-wrenching sound.“Hold on, Sierra,” I whispered, my throat tightening. “We’re almost there.”We burst out into the open air, the cool breeze stinging our sweat-drenched skin. Luna Maya and Alpha Thane were

SIERRAKane’s words rang in my ears, sharp and unrelenting. The room was suffocating, their stares cutting into me. My chest tightened, and before I could stop them, tears welled in my eyes. I tried to blink them away, but it was too late—Kane had already seen.“You’re right,” I whispered, my voice cracking. “I do ruin everything.”Zane turned to me, his expression twisting in confusion and anger. “Sierra, stop. You don’t need to take this from him!”I shook my head, stepping back. “Zane, apologize to him.”“What?” Zane blinked at me, completely taken aback. “Why would I do that? He was disrespecting you!”I let out a small, pitiful laugh that didn’t sound like me at all. “Because I deserve it,” I said bitterly. “He’s right. Everything’s a mess because of me.”Zane seemed to want to argue, but I didn’t wait to hear it. I turned away, my hands trembling as I wiped my tears. I couldn’t stay here any longer. The tension was unbearable, the air too heavy to breathe.“I’ll leave you both t
