Aria's pov“I get it, Tristan,” I said through clenched teeth, my voice sugar-slicked with venom. “I promise, if you leave Xavier, I’ll make sure I give you the best sex ever.”He stopped pacing and turned slowly, a smirk tugging at that smug, arrogant mouth of his. Goodness, I hated him. Every inch of him. From his perfectly groomed beard to the gleam in his eyes that screamed entitled bastard.“You’d give yourself to me… willingly?” he asked, arms crossed like he just cracked some code.I forced a laugh, one that sounded like broken glass and sarcasm. “Oh, honey. Don’t flatter yourself. I said I’d give you sex. I never said I’d enjoy it.”His expression tightened. I knew I was playing with fire, but I’d rather burn than let him think he owned me.“You’re not in a position to be smart, Aria,” he growled, stepping forward until the scent of his cologne mixed with my disgust. “Your little rogue mutt is rotting in my cells, and you’re here negotiating like you have power?”I smiled—slow

Xavier povThe forest didn’t welcome us—it swallowed us whole.Branches slapped against my face, thorns clawed at my clothes, but I didn’t stop. Couldn’t. My lungs burned and my legs screamed, but I pushed forward, Asher on my heels, matching my pace even though we both looked like death’s leftovers.Every crunch of dead leaves underfoot was a warning. We were deep in enemy territory, and if Alpha Tristan had even a sliver of brain in that smug skull of his, he’d already have guards sweeping the perimeter.“Straight ahead,” I rasped, heart pounding like war drums in my chest. “The hollow tree. You remember?”Asher grunted. “Do I look like I forgot?”We tore through the forest, shadows racing with us, the cold night air biting at our wounds. My mind was a whirlpool—Aria’s face burned behind my eyes, her voice a whisper I couldn’t reach. I’d come to see her. Instead, I’d nearly lost everything.But not anymore.A flash of movement to the left.I whirled around, blade raised, fangs itchi

Xavier povThe fire crackled low behind me, its light painting flickering gold across the worn faces of my rogues. They’d eaten what little we had, chewed through smoked jerky and hard roots like it was a feast. It wasn’t. But after weeks of scraping through survival, it was enough.I stood at the edge of the camp, eyes fixed on the dark stretch of trees ahead. Every creak of a branch or whisper of wind had me on edge. Not because I feared death—I’d shaken hands with her already—but because I had too much to lose now.Behind me, Kane approached with that same quiet tread he’d always had. “Scouts are back. No movement on the southern ridge. No fresh tracks either.”I didn’t breathe in relief. Tristan wasn’t the kind to send out obvious hounds. He played with bloodless knives and whispered threats. I wouldn’t underestimate him again.“Any sign of Greyson?”Kane shook his head. “Not yet. But the girl said he’d be back by moonrise.”I nodded. “When he returns, I want full recon on the riv

Tristan povSmoke curled through the hall like a warning—acrid, thick, and bold enough to crawl down my throat and choke me on my own rage. The walls trembled from another distant explosion, and somewhere above, glass shattered, raining down like sharp, glittering snow.I shoved open the steel-reinforced door to the control room, the keypad still flickering from power interference. “Status!” I barked.No one answered.The command center was chaos. Screens blinked in and out—glitching between security feeds, static, and blackouts. The room smelled of panic-sweat and ozone. One guard hunched over a monitor, his hands trembling. Another stood by the intercom, mouth half-open but no words spilling out.“Where the hell is my tactical team?” I growled, slamming a fist into the console. A crack snaked through the surface, but it didn’t satisfy me. Nothing could.“They… Alpha, the west wall’s breached. Rogues. At least two dozen. They had explosives.”“Explosives?” I said the word like it off

Tristan povThe moment I gave the order, something shifted in the air—like the earth itself knew what I’d done.The berserkers weren’t soldiers. They weren’t even wolves in the way we understood them. They were bred in the darkest corners of our world, broken, reforged, trained only for destruction, for the kill. Caged beneath this fortress for years because even I hadn’t trusted what would happen if they were let loose.But now? Now I didn’t need control.I needed carnage.A low rumble rose from the underground—deeper than any growl, heavier than the weight in my chest. My pulse ticked faster. My wolf clawed beneath my skin, restless, eager. It knew what was coming. It wanted to join them.And maybe that terrified part of me… wanted that too.The walls shook again, but it wasn’t another explosion this time—it was the sound of the unholy being set loose. Footsteps. Dozens of them. Heavy, erratic. Hungry.I turned toward the noise, heart thudding, mind sharp as shattered glass. Reid me

Aria pov“Come on, Aria. Keep those pretty legs moving!” Asher hissed from ahead, the silver moonlight catching the edge of his jaw as he sprinted through the undergrowth like he had wild in his veins.Easy for him to say. He was a trained rogue, all grit and agility. I was a pack wolf—pampered, polished, and used to staircases, not tree roots trying to murder me.“I’m—trying!” I gasped, my lungs screaming, heart pounding like a war drum. The cold wind slapped my face as I stumbled forward, legs burning. My ankle twisted and I crashed hard to the forest floor with a grunt, dead leaves slicing at my palms.“Shit,” I muttered, rolling over. The world spun, and not in a fun, champagne-after-midnight kind of way.I barely had time to blink before strong arms scooped me up. Asher didn’t even break stride.“Seriously?” I breathed, arms curling instinctively around his neck. “You’re going to carry me like some damsel in distress?”“You are a damsel. And you’re currently in a whole lot of dis

Asher povEvery step felt like dragging a knife through my shoulder, but I kept moving because Aria was beside me—and if I faltered, I knew she’d try to carry my ass, and that was a level of humiliation I wasn’t mentally prepared for.Her hand gripped mine tight, like letting go wasn’t an option. I didn’t know if I was dragging her forward or if she was dragging me, but hell, it didn’t matter. We were moving. Toward firelight. Toward safety. Toward Xavier.The moment we broke through the final line of trees, the air shifted—less suffocating, more alive. I could see the outpost now, barely more than a cabin tucked between boulders and bramble, but it was guarded, and it was ours.“Almost there,” I breathed, then stumbled. My vision swam. I didn’t realize I was falling until Aria caught me under the good arm again, teeth gritted, muscles trembling.“I swear, Asher,” she panted, “if you die on me now, I’ll resurrect you just to kill you myself.”“Hot,” I rasped.Two figures emerged from

Xavier povShe was in my arms, and I swear the whole damn world narrowed to the feel of her heartbeat slamming against mine.I could still taste her on my lips—salt, sweat, something desperate and wild. She smelled like smoke and blood and Aria, and it took everything in me not to fall to my knees like a fucking lunatic.“I thought—” I started, but her hands slammed against my chest.“What the hell were you thinking?” she hissed.Oh, here we go.“You sent Asher into a death trap! You could’ve died, he could’ve died—I could’ve died!”“I know,” I said quietly, grabbing her wrists before she started throwing actual punches. “But I didn’t know where they had you. I didn’t know what Tristan was doing to you. Every second you were gone, I was losing my goddamn mind.”“You still have a mind?” she shot back, lip trembling. “Because I was stuck in that hellhole wondering if you were even alive. You didn’t answer through the bond. You didn’t come.”“I couldn’t feel you,” I said. “I thought mayb

Tristan pov The doors slammed open with a thunderclap that cracked through the palace like lightning. Mud-slick boots echoed in the war room—too many steps, too much hesitation.Cowards.I didn’t even need to turn around to know. I felt it. The absence.Aria wasn’t with them.My jaw clenched so hard my teeth ached. I stared at the burning hearth in front of me, the fire too tame, too quiet, like it mocked the inferno building in my chest.“Where is she?” My voice was low. Deadly.No one answered.The room stiffened like the air had turned to ice. One by one, the returning soldiers filed in—scraped up, breathless, heads bowed.I turned slowly, letting my eyes drag over each pathetic excuse for a warrior.Jared stepped forward—captain of the unit I’d handpicked for this mission. His armor was scratched, one cheek bruised purple.But he wasn’t bleeding nearly enough.“She got away,” he said, almost a whisper.I stared at him. Blinked once.“You lost her.”He nodded like that would someh

Aria pov“How do I make Tristan treat me as his… after all that’s happened?”The words tasted bitter on my tongue, like I was betraying myself by even saying them out loud. My voice was barely a whisper, drowned by the wind rustling through the trees. My head was cradled against Xavier’s chest, rising and falling with every breath he took. His arms were wrapped around me—strong, warm, grounding. Like they were the only thing keeping me from splintering apart.He didn’t answer right away. I could feel the storm in him, brewing. His jaw clenched against the top of my head, his pulse hammering just under his skin.“Don’t say that,” he finally muttered, his voice thick with something feral. “Don’t you dare say that.”I blinked, heart skipping. “I just—he’s still Alpha. He’s still out there. And you know what he does to things he thinks belong to him…”He pulled back just enough to look at me, one hand cupping the side of my face. His thumb swept along my cheek, catching the salt from tear
