WRAITH’S POVI lit a cigarette and took a slow inhale.Rex had called a meeting. Present in the room were Jake, Angelina, Natasha, and me.“This would be the right time to finally lay our hands on the bastard, Logan. He’ll be accompanying the human—”“We will not deviate from the plan, Rex. Logan and Tessa stay unharmed.” I cut in.“And what if they have other plans?” Natasha questions, “What if this is another trap? We might have the real documents, but that doesn’t mean the Callisters have given up. Logan is still one of them, and for all we know, Tessa’s on their side now too.”“We stick to the fucking plan. I’m going with Angelina—no one else is coming.”“You’re not stable enough to make any form of decisions right now Beta, and lately, your decisions have been far from reasonable.”“I’m stable enough to make sure no harm gets anywhere near Tessa.”Rex's lips thinned. “Leave us,” He said to the others, and one after the other, they did. Natasha lingered a bit longer before walking

“Welcome. Thank you for meeting us,” Logan said with a smile—of course pretending that little slip hadn’t happened.My eyes trailed to the figure beside Wraith. Angelina.I beamed and left Logan’s side, running into her outstretched arms. I hugged her so tightly I could’ve broken a rib—though I doubted it, since she was a werewolf.“I'm so sorry for leaving the way I did; please forgive me. I didn't mean to—"“It’s fine. I knew you’d never do that.” She cut in.“I’m so happy to see you, Angelina… gods, it feels like forever.”“I miss my best friend too, but I understand—I know it was for the best.”I nodded, wiping away the tears beginning to form in my eyes.It took everything in me to ignore the fact that Wraith was standing beside me.“So, what did I miss?” I asked.“Alot. Starting from the major, we found a willing breeder and—we’re going to be having a baby. I swear, I wanted to tell you back then, but…” She trailed off, and I knew exactly why she hadn’t. She didn’t think it was

TESSA’S POVI felt a hand wrap around mine, and I was about to panic—until I looked up and saw it was Logan.He led me away from the swarm of bodies and out into the open air. Our car was parked just a short distance away.Angelina was nowhere in sight and so, I let Logan lead me to the car.Once we were inside, he finally looked at me—and I could tell he already knew. Of course, my ruffled hair and smudged lipstick gave me away. I’d made out with Wraith. Even after all that talk about staying away.Without a word, he started the car and drove off.A heavy silence filled the car. Logan stared straight ahead, not glancing at me even once. “I’m sorry.”“You have nothing to apologize for.”“In and out—that was the plan. But I wasn’t strong enough; I couldn’t…”“What did he tell you?” Logan asked.“He told me the truth, that you aren’t my brother and Falcone wasn’t my father.” I should have told him about Wraith’s speculation; I should have questioned whether they were true, but I didn’t

TESSA’S POVOne Week Later…Once again, I was bent over the toilet, retching my guts out.I’d hoped it would pass, but it seemed more serious than I’d thought—I’d probably need to see a doctor soon.Living among werewolves had almost made me forget that illnesses like this were still common for humans.I brushed my teeth and rinsed my face before stepping out—only to come face-to-face with Logan. “Hey,” I said, my voice a little unsteady from the surprise. “What are you doing here?”“You’re sick.” He stated.“I’m fine.” I insisted.“I heard you in there. How long has this been going on?” he questioned, studying my face.“Just a few days.” I lied.“Why didn’t you tell me, Tessa?”I walked past him. “I don’t have to tell you everything about my life, Logan.” His eyes softened. “I know. But if you’re sick, you shouldn’t keep that away from me.”“As I said, I'll be fine,” I snapped, and immediately regretted it. “I'm sorry. I don't know what's wrong with me, I just—”“Wait,” he said, cu

**DIANA—THIRD POV**Diana Callister wasn’t unfamiliar with the feeling of helplessness. She’d felt it countless times during her years with Falcone.Once, she had been one of the most powerful and envied women in the werewolf community. But with Falcone, she became nothing but a shadow.He never listened to her, nor did he involve her when making decisions. He was the kind of man that believed a woman had no place in business. Her role was to stand beside him, and look pretty. Her duty was to please him and satisfy his desires whenever they arose.She never loved him.But unlike many other women, she refused to accept that fate. At every meeting she was fortunate enough to attend, she kept her ears open, listening. She never let any piece of information slip past her. She became even more involved than Falcone ever realized. Instead of becoming the perfect wife, she became the perfect actress. She’d put on a show when necessary, but behind his back, she plotted—plotted his death and
