HERO POVThe message arrived just after sunrise, a message sent through the guard sent a jolt of pure excitement through me. Kira and Alvira had agreed to see me. Finally. I nearly ripped Kristina’s bedroom door off its hinges, bursting in like I was being chased by someone.Zara was sitting on the edge of the bed, her eyes shadowed, a clear sign she hadn't slept a wink but she stood up the moment she saw me. "Hero, is something going on?" she asked, her voice a low, raspy whisper while she looked behind me."They're meeting me," I said, unable to contain the excitement bubbling inside me. "Kira and Alvira. In half an hour. I need you there. With me."She hesitated, her gaze dropping to her hands. "I… I don't know, Hero.”I stepped closer, my voice softening. "Hey," I said, placing a gentle hand on her arm. "You can't back out now. This is important. You're the mother of my child, Zara. You have a right to be there, a right to know.”Her eyes flickered up to meet mine, and I saw a shi

HERO POV"Zara and I..." I started, my voice trailing off. Alvira had asked a direct question, but the words felt stuck in my throat. I wanted to explain, to tell her everything without making Zara uncomfortable, but it was like trying to untangle a knot I had no right to untangle.Before I could find the right words, Zara stepped in. "Hero hasn't been himself," she said softly, her gaze meeting Alvira's. "Not since he learned you both were alive. It's…it's wonderful to finally meet you. And if you'd like more time with him, I'm happy to give you space.”"No," Kira said, her hand tightening on Zara's. "You're going to be family. I want to know you. Alvira and I have been living here, and there's plenty of room. I can talk to Mascold, get him to build you two a house right next to ours. We can be together.""You want us to stay in the pack?" Zara asked, turning to me. "And you... you're staying at the mountain?”"Of course," Kira replied, her eyes widening in surprise. "And Hero's stayi

ZARA POVMy breath hitched, a ragged, uneven sound. I felt like my lungs were shrinking, like I couldn't pull in enough air. Kristina’s hand, warm and steady, patted my hair. It was a simple gesture, but it felt like the only thing keeping me grounded."Zara, honey, breathe," she said, her voice soft but firm. "Just... in and out. Slow. You're going to make yourself pass out."I tried, I really did. But my heart was hammering, a thumping beat against my ribs. "I... I can't," I gasped, my words coming out in shaky bursts. "I need to tell you… I need to tell you this right now.”Her eyes widened, a flicker of surprise, then softened with concern. "Okay, okay, are you sure you can speak right now?.... we can deal with that later. We will. Just breathe first. What else is going on with you? You're hyperventilating, Zara. You're clearly terrified and you need to stop because you are pregnant.""It's... it's about Hero," I said, my voice trembling. "And... and my father.""Your father? What

HERO POV"Mascold was kind to us, sure," Kira began, her voice gentle, a small smile touching her lips. "But honestly, our housemates? They were the ones who really made a difference. You have to meet Mitchell and Dennis."She paused, a flicker of something like embarrassment crossing her face. "See, when we first got here, we were... Well, we were scared. We didn't know who to trust. We couldn't give them our real names, and we couldn't even come up with fake ones we felt safe with. So, they just started calling us Scarlet and Mona. I think they still think Alvira and I are sisters, you know, blood sisters.”Kira's smile faded slightly. "Hero, I just... I need you to know, I never forgot about you. About any of you. Being here, surviving... it doesn't mean I pushed you out of my mind.""Kira," I interrupted, my voice a little rough. "You don't need to explain. Not one bit. You don't have to apologize for surviving. I'm just... I'm just glad you did." I took a deep breath. "I would li

HERO POVWe'd been tracking Zara for what felt like forever. My wolf inside me was going nuts, like a caged animal. I could feel his panic growing with every step. Then, I smelled it. Smoke. Thick, choking smoke. I knew right then, something was seriously wrong.We rounded a bend, and I saw it. A crowd of wolves, all looking grim. They were working hard, but the air was heavy with tension. And then I saw the fire. A truck, smashed into a tree, burning like a giant torch.Jeremy barely stopped the car before I was out. My heart was pounding so hard, I thought it would burst. The truck... It was a wreck."Is that your truck?" a wolf yelled at me, his face red with anger when he noticed the similarity with our truck and the burning one. "What the hell happened? You could have burned the whole mountain down!"A woman nearby, I could tell she was a witch, was using her magic to blast water onto the flames. She was trying to stop it from spreading.I couldn't even focus on the angry wolf. M
