Liz's povEverything around me was black, and all I could hear were screams and howls filled with pain. My heart was racing as I ran. I didn’t know where I was going, my feet just kept moving, hitting the ground too fast as panic clawed its way up my chest. The sound followed me no matter how far I ran, voices I knew twisted into something unrecognisable, crying out in ways that made my stomach turn.A shape moved in the darkness ahead of me, and my steps stopped just for a second, my heart stuttering hard against my chest.“Lumian…”The name left me before I could stop it, but the second his name left my mouth, he stepped in front of me.I didn’t hear or see him move.One second he wasn't there… and the next he was right in front of me. The stench of the blood of others overtakes my senses.My eyes stayed glued on him as he towered over me, my body too terrified to move.His body didn’t look like his anymore; something inside him had taken over and was stretching him into something e

Lizs pov“Now, are you ready?” Arthur asked as he held my jacket up for me. I slipped my arms in. his hands lingered at my shoulder. The heat from him sent a slow tingling warmth through me, my wolf begging for me to turn around and kiss him. But I didn't, instead I turned a smile on my lips. His eyes shone as he stared into mine, my heart slowing. He leaned in, kissing my cheek. “We can always go back to bed”, he whispered as he pulled away. My breath stuttered a small giggle escaping my mouth, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find words. My body screamed at me to grab him and forget about everything else, but Arthur had planned this, and even though I know he wouldn't complain…He pulled away, taking my hand in his before leading me to the door, then pushing it open and stepping aside for me to go first. The second I saw outside, I knew where we were. I let go of his hand and stepped outside. My eyes moving over everything in front of me, taking it all in. The trees st

Carlos POVI took the pack house steps two at a time. I just needed a second.A second to think.Because none of this was sitting right, no matter how much I tried to tell myself it was nothing. Everything inside me told me I couldn't ignore this, but I couldn't send the pack into panic either.My hand came up, pushing against the doors. I needed a plan, one that wouldn't fail.“Carlos!” an angry voice called my name, making me stop dead in my tracks. I turned, relief crashing over me, the second my eyes landed on him. “Josh”, I said with a smile on my face. “You're a liar, you all are”, he said, his voice getting louder with every word. “You all lied to us.”The smile dropped from my face.“What are you talking about?” I asked.He let out a harsh laugh, shaking his head like he couldn’t believe I was even asking.“You think I don’t know?” he snapped. “You think we don’t see what’s going on?”He reached the top of the stairs, but he didn't stop; he kept coming.My chest tightened,

Liz's PovThe palace came into view, and I didn’t slow down. I pushed harder. Everything looked peaceful. Arthur pushed ahead of me, shifting before we even reached the doors, his hand slamming into them and throwing them open with a force that echoed.I shifted a second later, my feet barely steady as I stumbled forward. I sucked in a breath, scanning the room. My eyes landed on Finn, who was right in front of me. His eyes wide with confusion and fear as he stood there frozen.“Where is everyone?” I said, the words coming out fast. “Is everyone okay?”He frowned. “They were all just here,” he said, looking between Arthur and me. “Everything’s fine. The only one not here is Carlos,” Finn added. “He went over to the Blackthorne pack to check on everyone there.”Ice ran through me so fast it almost made me dizzy.“When?” I asked, stepping forward, my voice louder than I meant it to. Footsteps came rushing from down the hall. I didn't take my eyes off Finn.“Liz Arthur, what are you doi

Arthur’s POVI could see it in her eyes, her wolf sitting just beneath the surface. She was scared, but fear had never stopped Liz. If anything, it made her more reckless, more willing to throw herself into danger if it meant saving someone she loved.And that terrified me.Not because I thought she was weak.Because I knew she wasn’t. Liz had never been weak.But that didn’t stop traps. It didn’t stop people like Angelica or Lumian from using the one thing Liz could never ignore. Her heart.My jaw tightened as I looked at her.She had seen him.Heard him.Felt him more than once.And she hadn’t told me.I could understand why she hadn't. I knew Liz carried things until they crushed her. I knew she tried to protect everyone from her own fear.But I was her mate.And she had kept something from me that could have gotten her killed.I pushed the feeling down. Not now. This wasn’t the time.“We go together,” I said, my voice calm even though nothing inside me felt calm.Liz’s eyes lifte
