Ava;s POVI watched as the three of them walked away from my room, their footsteps heavy on the stairs. That’s exactly what I meant by them changing. If this were before, if this were the old them, they would have stayed with me. They would have sat on my bed, held my hands, and refused to leave until we worked everything out together. They would have kept talking, kept trying, kept pushing until we found a solution.But now? Now they just walked away when I told them to leave me alone. They gave up so easily, like they were relieved to have an excuse to go.I shifted off the thought, trying not to let it hurt as much as it did. There was no point in dwelling on how different they were acting. I needed to focus on taking care of myself since they clearly weren’t going to do it anymore.I went to my bathroom and turned on the cold water, letting it run until it was freezing. The shock of the cold water against my skin felt good, like it was washing away all the confusion and anger from

   Zayne POV In the evening, the three of us were sitting in the living room while Ava was in her room, sleeping. Irish was reading something on his phone, Steve was staring at the ceiling, looking miserable, and I was trying to figure out our next move. “How did it go with Rebecca?” I asked Steve quietly, making sure Ava couldn’t hear us from upstairs. Steve shook his head. “Terrible. I told her I was in a relationship and just wanted to be friends. She got upset and left. I don’t think she’ll be talking to me again anytime soon.” “So we’re back to having no leads,

Zayne’s POV After three days of searching for who delivered the letter to us, we still couldn’t find the person. We had looked everywhere, asked questions, and even tried to set up a watch to catch whoever was leaving these messages, but we came up with nothing.Even going to classes had become hard. We were all on edge, constantly looking over our shoulders and jumping at every small sound. Ava had been suspecting that something was happening, but nobody talked or revealed anything to her. We couldn’t let her know about the whole issue. Steve wasn’t at home. He had tried his best to settle things with Rebecca, hoping maybe he could get some information from her. Right now, we were back to square one, and we needed any lead we could get.Irish had let out his breath more than a hundred times as he sat there, unable to understand what we should do next. The stress was getting to all of us, and I could see it in the way his shoulders were tense and his hands kept moving restlessly.I

Writer’s POV Zach was inside his room finishing packing his stuff and preparing to go back to school. He folded his clothes carefully and put them in his travel bag along with his books and other belongings. Everything was going according to his plan. The Alpha should be dead by now, and he needed to be far away from the pack when the news became official.He was closing his bag when he heard the door opening. His father stepped into the room with a serious expression on his face. The look on his father’s face told Zach that something was wrong, and he knew definitely that the Alpha had died because today made it three days since Sarah had poisoned him.Zach felt happy inside, but he kept his face neutral. He had taught the Alpha a great lesson about how to mind his own business. Maybe if the Alpha got to heaven, he would learn how to mind his business, just like Vanessa must have been learning her lesson by now in whatever place dead people went.“Are you going back to school?” his

Sarah made sure that the three maids she shared a room with were already sleeping deeply before slipping out of the house. She moved as quietly as possible, stepping carefully on the floors to avoid making any noise that might wake them up. Her heart was pounding in her chest as she made her way toward the door.The pack house was mostly quiet at this hour, but there were still guards patrolling the grounds. As she tried to leave the building, one of the guards stopped her.“Where are you going at this hour?” the guard asked, his voice suspicious.Sarah had prepared for this question. “I’m just going to check up on my mother,” she said, trying to keep her voice steady. “The Alpha had granted me permission to visit her whenever I needed to.”The guard looked at her for a long moment, clearly not entirely convinced by her story. But finally, he stepped aside reluctantly and let her go. Sarah hurried away from the pack house, her hands shaking with nervousness.When she reached where the
