Serena's Pov The familiar scent of earth filled my nostrils as we approached the pack, and for a fleeting moment, I allowed myself to breathe. The nightmare that had consumed the last few hours was finally behind us—or so I thought. My mind was still reeling from everything that had transpired, the way Damien had somehow managed to turn Vincent's own allies against him with nothing more than his commanding presence and strategic words. It was like watching a master chess player execute the perfect endgame, except the pieces were werewolves with deadly claws and the board was soaked in blood.But even as relief washed over me, confusion gnawed at my insides like a persistent ache. How had Damien done it? How had he managed to convince Vincent's most loyal followers to switch sides in a matter of minutes? The power he wielded wasn't just physical…it was something deeper and more primal. Something that spoke to the very essence of what it meant to be a werewolf.And then there was Lily

Damien's Pov The weight of leadership had never felt heavier on my shoulders than it did in that moment, watching Serena walk away from me with pain etched across her beautiful features. Every instinct I possessed as both an Alpha and her mate screamed at me to follow her, to pull her into my arms and make everything right. But I knew that wasn't what she needed right now. She needed space, time to process the chaos that had become our lives, and most importantly, she needed answers—answers I wasn't entirely sure I could give her.I ran my hands through my hair, pacing the length of my quarters like a caged animal. The DNA test results should have been enough to put this whole nightmare to rest, but Lily's claims about her witch heritage complicated everything. Magic had always been a gray area for our kind, something we understood existed but rarely dealt with directly. The possibility that her supernatural abilities could interfere with modern medical testing wasn't entirely far-f

Damien's Pov The witch's hospital was unlike anything I'd ever encountered in my years as an Alpha. As I watched Serena walked through the corridors with an intuitive grace I hadn't expected, I found myself studying the faces of the people we passed, witches, healers, patients, all living their lives in this sanctuary away from the chaos of the outside world.These people had families, children, hopes and dreams that extended far beyond the political machinations of my pack. The weight of that realization settled heavily on my shoulders as I considered what I'd been prepared to do. In my rage over Lily's deception and manipulation, I'd been ready to tear apart anything and anyone connected to her lies. But seeing this place, witnessing the genuine community that existed here, I knew I couldn't let my personal vendetta destroy innocent lives.I would have to reconsider my approach entirely. Perhaps once Serena was able to use her abilities to detect the truth about pregnancies, we co

Damien's Pov The sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting silver patterns across Serena's bare skin as she lay beside me, her breathing finally evening out after our latest passionate encounter. I couldn't help but drink in the sight of her—the way her dark hair fanned across the pillow, the gentle curve of her waist, the soft rise and fall of her chest. Even in sleep, she was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.I leaned closer, inhaling deeply. Her scent was intoxicating with a unique blend of jasmine and something wild that was purely her own. It was stronger now, more complex, and I found myself wondering if the subtle changes I'd been detecting lately meant what I hoped they meant. She stirred at my touch, a soft sigh escaping her lips as she turned toward me. Even half-asleep, her body responded to mine, arching slightly as my hands began their familiar exploration of her curves. The silk of her skin beneath my palms was like a drug, and I felt myself hardening again

Serena's Pov The weight of responsibility settled on my shoulders like a lead blanket as I watched Alpha Celeste's imposing figure disappear through the mansion's front entrance. Every instinct I possessed screamed at me to go to her, to explain Damien's absence and try to salvage what could quickly become a diplomatic disaster. But before I could take a single step toward the main hall, Alpha Magnus appeared in the doorway, his expression grim."Absolutely not," he said firmly, reading my intentions before I could voice them. "You will not meet with Alpha Celeste.""But she's here to see Damien," I protested, frustration bleeding into my voice. "Someone needs to explain why he's not available. I could tell her about the Northern Territories situation, make her understand that his absence isn't a slight against her or her pack."Magnus shook his head, his steel-gray eyes hard with determination. "You're not ready for that kind of political maneuvering, girl. Alpha Celeste is one of
