MIA'S POVThe lecture hall slowly emptied, the low murmur of students fading behind me as I waited until the last person filed out. My palms felt a little sweaty, and I wasn't sure if it was nerves… or something else entirely. Part of me was still processing the shock of seeing him standing at the front of the classroom—the man who'd been so kind to me on what had been one of the worst nights of my life.He was organizing papers at the front desk when I approached. He looked up and gave me that familiar calm smile."Hey, Mia."I stopped a few feet away, clutching my notebook to my chest. "So… this is the job you mentioned?"Liam nodded, closing his folder. "Yeah. Surprise."I raised an eyebrow. "Why didn't you tell me?"His face shifted, the smile turning a little sheepish. "Honestly? I didn't want to make things awkward. I figured if I said something ahead of time, you'd feel… uncomfortable."I crossed my arms. "Well, it's still awkward." Though I couldn't deny there was something co

Liam's POVThe way Mia looked at me after I revealed the truth—it wasn't fear.It was something else.Confusion. Curiosity. Maybe even… recognition.I hadn't planned to tell her this soon, but seeing her collapse last night had changed everything. The sight of her crumpling to the floor had sent a rush of panic through me unlike anything I'd felt in years—a protective instinct that went beyond my duties as an Alpha."I know it's a lot to process," I said quietly, watching her as she sat on the edge of the bed, hand resting over her stomach protectively. "But I've known since the first time I saw you."Her eyes narrowed slightly. "You mean… the night you found me running?"I nodded. "Yeah. I knew right away you were one of us."That night was etched into my memory—the rain coming down in sheets, the scent of blood and fear cutting through the darkness. I'd been patrolling the border of my territory when I caught it—a scent that didn't belong, mingled with something primal and desperate

Sean's POVI paced the length of the living room, my fingers twitching nervously. God, I can't even stand still anymore. Every nerve in my body is on edge. Xavier slumped in the corner armchair, his face etched with a regret I'd never seen before. Nathan and Rolex sat silently, their expressions grim, each lost in their own tangled thoughts. We hadn't spoken properly in days, not since Mia vanished without a trace.The silence was deafening, heavy with guilt and desperation. It had been months, and every attempt to find Mia had ended in frustration and heartbreak.Xavier finally spoke, his voice rough from lack of sleep, "We need to do something. Sitting here won't bring her back.""And what do you suggest?" Nathan snapped bitterly. "We've exhausted every lead. Mia made sure she left no trace behind."My fists clenched, anger boiling up inside me, mixed with a painful longing. "Maybe if we hadn't fucked up so badly, she'd still be here," I hissed, mostly to myself. The truth burns wor

(Five Years Later)MIA'S POVI stared at the screen. My fingers trembled slightly as the page loaded. Four tiny voices buzzed behind me, waiting, watching. The moment the word "PASSED" appeared, I exhaled so hard my vision blurred."I did it," I whispered.After all those sleepless nights, all those moments I wanted to quit, I actually did it.Daisy screamed before I could, throwing her arms around me. "You did it! You're officially a graduate!"Four sets of little feet raced into the room, and my babies tackled me in a whirlwind of hugs, squeals, and overwhelming joy. Tears slipped down my cheeks. Not because I passed, but because after everything—after surviving heartbreak, single motherhood, the whispers and stares—I was still standing.Look at us. Look at what we built from nothing. They said I'd never make it alone, but here we are."I'm so proud of you, Mama," the smallest one, Mira, whispered."I'm proud of me too, baby."For the first time in five years, I can actually say that

MIA’S POV"I said leave."My voice was sharp. Too sharp for how shaky I felt inside.Please just go. Please don't make this harder than it already is.Xavier didn't flinch. None of them did. Four men… no—four wolves—stood in front of me like they'd been waiting their entire lives for this moment."Do you think we can?" Xavier murmured, his voice raw and barely tethered. "After five years of nothing? Five years of craving you in silence? No, Mia. Our wolves… they won't let us walk away this time."Five years of craving me? Then why did you let me go in the first place?"Wolves?" I scoffed, backing toward the wall, heart pounding. "You mean your egos."Sean stepped forward, his expression unreadable but intense. "You think this is about pride?"Nathan's eyes burned into mine. "It's about survival. You were always ours, and we've lived like ghosts without you."Ghosts? You seemed perfectly fine without me. You all moved on like I never existed.I tried to push them away. My hands met Xav
