The room fell into a heavy silence after Zora's whispered confession. Trent's arms tightened around her as her body continued to tremble against his chest."Your uncle," he said quietly, his voice carefully controlled. "Tell me everything."Zora's breathing gradually steadied, but fresh tears spilled down her cheeks as the memories crashed over her like waves. She pulled back slightly to look at him, her eyes haunted but more focused than before."Uncle Zeta," she whispered, and her voice cracked on the name. "He was Father's beta. His most trusted friend. I called him Uncle Z when I was little." Her face crumpled. "He used to bring me flowers from the meadow."She broke free from his embrace and sat up slowly, wiping her face with shaking hands. "The night they attacked, I was supposed to be asleep. But I heard shouting and crept to the top of the stairs." Her voice grew stronger, though pain laced every word. "At first, we thought it was a rogue attack. I mindlinked my uncle for hel

The kiss deepened, and Zora felt something shift inside her not just her wolf, but emotion and desire. A recognition that went beyond memory, beyond the scars of the past. This was what she had been searching for without even knowing it. She had never felt like this in her life, even with years of being married to Alpha Dane.Trent broke away first, his breathing ragged. His forehead remained pressed against hers, his hands still cradling her face like she was made of moonlight."Zora," he whispered, and her name on his lips sounded like a prayer—a plea from a god who had finally found something he could not control. "I need you to know, this isn't just about the curse. This isn't about what I need from you. This is about what I feel for you. What I've always felt."She could see the truth in his eyes, the vulnerability he'd never shown anyone else. The great alpha who commanded respect and fear was laid bare before her, trembling with emotion."I know," she said softly.A growl rumbl

"Who did this to you?" He thundered."She," Timika said, pointing at Zora while she slightly bowed her head.Zora stared behind her, hoping to see someone that Timika was pointing at, but no one was there.Alpha Trent grabbed Timika's hand, his grip tightening, which made Timika whimper."I asked who beat you like this," he growled."No one. I was wounded during the ri..." she cut herself off, not wanting to finish the word.Now Alpha Trent remembered how she had pinned Zora down when she was uncontrollable during the ritual. He let go of her hand and muttered, "I'm sorry."He faced his Beta. "Let Timika be treated in the hospital, and give her a lot of money and enough food when she leaves. Graham should transport her back to her place."Everyone's gazes met. They were stunned at the current kindness Alpha Trent was showing her.Timika was uncomfortable staying in the pack that long. "Alpha, I will go and treat myself at my place. Am I free to go?"Alpha Trent and Luna Zora's eyes met

At the pack hospital, nurses were gossiping about the rumor."Alpha Trent has finally given in to a woman.""For the first time in his life.""Nurse Freya, did you hear? He lost his virginity." A nurse said with excitement."The Ice Alpha has melted." She giggled.Freya's hands stilled on the medical supplies she'd been organizing. The glass vial she'd been holding slipped from her fingers, shattering against the floor with a sharp crack that echoed through the pack hospital."What did you just say?" Her voice was barely above a whisper, but the deadly calm in her tone made the chattering nurses fall silent immediately.The nurse who had spoken—young, foolish—seemed to realize she'd made a terrible mistake. "I... I was just saying that Alpha Trent and the Luna woman... they..." She stuttered."They what?" Freya's green eyes blazed with fury that made the nurse step back instinctively."They spent the night together," she whispered, her voice trembling.For a moment, Freya's breath cau

Lena tiptoed closer to the door; she could hear restless movement, desperate sounds that made her heart skip a bit. It was working. Whatever Freya had given Luna was working exactly as planned.Lena forced herself to move; she walked toward the warriors' quarters, where she knew Kane would be. She had been given instructions to get Kane in particular. He was one of the few unmated males left behind to guard the pack, respected and honorable. Perfect for what Freya needed.She found him in the training yard, practicing sword forms alone in the morning sun. His dark hair was damp with sweat, and his movements were fluid and precise. Under other circumstances, she might have admired the sight."Kane," she called out, her voice higher than usual.He turned, lowering his sword. "Lena? What is it?""Luna Zora requests your immediate assistance in her chambers," she said, the words rushing out before she could lose her nerve. "She says it's urgent."Kane's brow furrowed. "Why me?
