Chapter One hundred and Six: Unmasked Secrets Cara's POV A pounding headache throbbed inside my head as I gradually awoke. My body felt leaden, my limbs trembling. My last recollection was the argument with Liam, the scorching pinch of a needle, and then—nothing. I blinked, my vision blurry at first, but then the room came into focus. It was unfamiliar. The air smelled different, like pine trees and fresh earth. This wasn’t Silver Pack Caleb. “Cara! You’re awake!” A voice I knew shook me out of my reverie. I looked up to see Sophia beside my bed, a radiant smile on her face illuminating it. Her eyes sparkled as if she had worried for eternity. "You scared me," she said, her hand sweeping lightly over my arm. "I thought we lost you." I tried to sit up, but my body fought me. A splintering pain shot through my arm, and I winced. "Don't move so much," Sophia warned. "You're too weak." I took slow breaths, my mind reeling with questions. "Where am I? I here’s Liam" I demanded. S

Chapter Forty Four: Uncontrollable DesireAlpha Damon’s POVThe night was quiet, but my mind was anything but.I sat in my office, staring at the untouched glass of whiskey on my desk, my fingers tapping against the wood in frustration. It had been three days since Cara arrived, and yet, she still refused to trust me. She barely spoke to me unless necessary, and even then, her words were cold, distant.I should have let her leave. I should have respected her decision. But I couldn’t.Not because she was a warrior. Not because she was valuable. But because I wanted her.My wolf had been restless ever since she set foot in my pack. It was an unfamiliar feeling, one that made it hard to focus, hard to think straight. Every time I caught her scent, my control wavered. Every time I looked at her, my wolf growled in frustration, demanding that I take her, claim her.But she didn’t trust me.She thought I was like Caleb and Liam—men who had used her, betrayed her. And the more she pushed me

Chapter Forty-Six: Painful RealizationLiam’s POVI sat alone in my room, staring at the empty space in front of me, my heart aching in a way I had never known before. The air felt heavy, pressing down on my chest like a weight I couldn’t lift.For days, my mind had been at war with itself. My wolf was restless, pacing, howling, demanding that I go after her.But I didn’t.I told myself she wasn’t worth it. That she had deceived me, manipulated me, and left without a word. That she had been lying all along.Then why did it hurt?Why did my chest feel hollow every time I closed my eyes? Why did I wake up reaching for someone who wasn’t there?Why did my heart betray me every time I thought about her?I ran a hand over my face, groaning.“I don’t care about her,” I whispered to myself.A lie.A painful, bitter lie.I pushed myself up, needing air. Maybe if I trained, if I forced my body into exhaustion, my thoughts would stop torturing me.I stepped into the hallway, heading toward the

Chapter Forty Eight – Liam's POVHe messed up I sat on the cold floor of my room, my back against the wall, my head buried in my hands. My whole body trembled as silent tears ran down my face.I messed up.I messed up that badly.Cara had been pure all this time, and I let them ruin her.I let my mom and Vanessa lie to me. I let them turn me against her, to make me believe that she was this scheming traitor when she just survived.My fists clenched as fresh pain ran through my chest.I had hurt her. I had pushed her away. I had stood there and let them turn her out.And now… she was gone.The worst part?I had no idea where she was.Would she ever forgive me?Would she even want to talk to me again?Guilt was eating away at me.I pinched my eyes shut as my wolf growled in my head, restless, full of guilt. He wanted Cara. He needed Cara. But I'd lost her.Because of my own stupidity.A sob tore past my lips.I deserved this pain.I deserved worse.I didn't realize I was pounding my o

Chapter Fifty : The Breaking PointLiam’s POVI sat alone in my room, my heart heavy, my mind racing. The pain in my chest felt unbearable, like something inside me was breaking apart piece by piece. I had spent the entire night thinking about Cara, about everything I had done to her, about how I had failed her.I had believed lies. I had let my mother and Vanessa manipulate me.And now, she was gone.Tears burned at the edges of my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. A warrior wasn’t supposed to cry. An Alpha-to-be wasn’t supposed to break. But what was the point of all my strength if I had lost the only person who mattered?A sudden knock on my door made me jerk up. My heart pounded.“Come in,” I said, my voice hoarse.One of my men stepped inside, looking hesitant, almost nervous. I frowned.“What is it?” I asked.He swallowed hard, then finally spoke.“We have news about Cara.”My body went completely still.My heart stopped.I shot up from my chair, my breathing uneven. “Where?
