XAVIER’S POVI carried Mia’s lifeless body into the bedroom, her small frame limp in my arms. My heart pounded as I laid her down on the bed, her pale face haunting me. Her breathing was shallow, her skin clammy, and I didn’t know if she’d survive the night.I grabbed my phone and called the pack doctor, my voice steady as I gave him the details. It didn’t matter why I was doing this, I told myself. This wasn’t concern or care—it was damage control. She couldn’t just die, not like this. Not when it wasn’t on our terms.“How miserable she is looking,” I muttered to myself, pacing the room as I waited for the doctor to arrive.The moment the doctor entered, he rushed to her side. He examined her quickly, his experienced hands moving over her fragile body with precision. “She’s weak, and her body is in shock. The fear and trauma have pushed her into a comatose state. She’ll need time to recover.”“How long?” I demanded, watching him place an oxygen mask over her face.“It could be days.

Mia's POVThe whispers around me were deafening as Tristan guided me down the hallway, his presence commanding enough to part the sea of students. Some murmured insults under their breath, others whispered enviously.“Did you see that? She’s with Tristan.”“Why would someone like him care about her?”I tried to block it all out, focusing instead on the warmth of his hand on my back as he led me toward the school’s main entrance. My heart was still racing from the encounter with Aria and her gang, but Tristan’s presence had a way of grounding me.“Are you okay?” he asked once we reached his car.I nodded, though my mind was still a whirlwind of emotions. “Thank you… for stepping in.”“Don’t thank me,” he said, opening the passenger door for me. “You didn’t need saving. You handled them well on your own.”I climbed into the car, his words replaying in my head as he shut the door and walked around to the driver’s side. He slid in, starting the engine, and the low hum of the car filled th

Mia's POVThe moment Diego introduced Layla and Scarlett as my stepbrothers’ cousins, I knew their presence wasn’t going to make my life easier. Still, I forced a polite smile and attempted to welcome them.“Let me know if you need anything while you’re here,” I offered, hoping to at least keep the peace.Layla’s lips twitched into a small smile, though it was more condescending than kind. “How sweet of you, Mia,” she said. “But I think we’ll manage just fine.”Scarlett didn’t even bother to smile. Her sharp gaze lingered on me for a moment before she turned away, already losing interest.The weight of their judgment pressed on me as I excused myself and hurried back to my room. Shutting the door behind me, I leaned against it and exhaled deeply.Trouble. That’s all I could sense from them. Trouble wrapped in designer clothes and perfected smiles.But I wasn’t going to let them ruin my night.The midnight blue dress shimmered as I held it against the light. The fabric was a soft, silk

Rolex’s POVWhen we got to know about the party, and especially Mia was invited to this party. Though we don’t want to go but Mia going with Tristan, and that boils our blood. We need to keep a closer watch on both of them. She is our mate, and she can’t be with any men, other than us.Mia pulled away from my hug, her eyes narrowing as she took a step back. “Why are you here?”I straightened, my hands falling to my sides. “I was invited,” I replied, trying to sound as casual as possible.Her brow furrowed. “By who?”“Does it matter?” I countered, crossing my arms. “It’s a party. Anyone with the right connections can get in.”My gaze shifted to her beautiful face,she looked… incredible. The midnight blue dress hugged her in all the right places, accentuating curves she usually hid beneath baggy clothes. The soft waves of her hair fell over her shoulders, framing her delicate features perfectly. But it was her lips that caught my attention the most—pink, full, and so damn tempting.I c

Mia's POVBut as I rounded the corner, I froze. Nathan was leaning casually against the wall, his arms crossed over his chest. His smirk widened as soon as he saw me.“Fancy running into you here,” he said, pushing off the wall and blocking my path.I straightened my shoulders, refusing to let him see even a flicker of fear. “What do you want, Nathan?”He stepped closer, and I held my ground. “You know, you’ve been awfully bold tonight. Talking back, holding your head high. It’s… different.”“Maybe you should try it sometime,” I replied, crossing my arms.He chuckled, shaking his head. “Still got that smart mouth, I see. But don’t worry, I’ll take care of that.”Before I could move, he was suddenly in front of me, his hand bracing against the wall beside my head. His other hand grabbed my waist, pinning me in place.“You’re acting like you’re untouchable tonight, Mia,” he murmured, leaning closer. “But let’s see how long that lasts.”I tried to push him back, but his grip only tighten
