WRAITH’S POV“Can you hear me?” Her voice broke through the silence. Soft and soothing, I never really realized how beautiful her voice was till now when I had nothing else to focus on but just that—her voice.“You’ll be fine, Wraith. Soon, it will be over,” she assures, then everything went silent, and I feared I’d lost her voice once again. “I love you.” She finally said.I wanted to respond—I wanted to say something back to her—but no words came out, no matter how hard I tried.I never did say those words back. I never told her I loved her.Her voice faded away, and I’m drawn into another dream—no, a memory.-Eighteen years ago.I’d been told many times that I was the spitting image of my mother, but I never saw the resemblance. She had green eyes and dark blonde hair, while I had grey eyes and ash brown hair.My mother was strikingly beautiful, and my father never failed to remind her of that every day. My parents loved each other so much, and they didn’t hide it.My father had be

I punched him hard, in the nose. He staggered backwards, hands over his bleeding nose, but his smile remained.“Look again.” I growled. “Do you remember this woman?”Now he was furious. He reached down, and for a second, I thought he was going for his weapon—But he snatched the picture from my hand instead.The only picture I had of my mother, he turned it over and tore out a portion with his teeth, spitting it at me.“How could I forget her? Those beautiful, enchanting green eyes are just simply unique.” He said with a smirk stretching on his lips. “Your father with the leg issue. He tried so fucking hard to protect his mate, but he was no match for me, not even when he had his two legs.Your mother cried only for a little while, but then… she stopped. She accepted her fate. He didn’t; he tried over and over to save her and failed. He died with the memory of his mate being hung to death right in front of his very eyes.”I let out a roar of pure fury as I lunged at him, bringing him

ALPHA REX’S POVThere was a knock at the door. I’d been expecting Wraith’s visit for the past few hours, so I was quick to pull it open. But instead of him, I was met with a scantily dressed woman—one of my favorite playthings.Anyone with a brain would know this wasn’t the right time, but of course, beauty doesn’t always come with brains.“Get lost.”“But—”“I never thought I’d live to see a day like this,” came Wraith’s voice. The woman, finally giving up, turned and walked away. Only after she was gone did Wraith finish his sentence. “The day you turn down sex.”“Well, she wasn’t exactly the visitor I was expecting.”I let him in.Only a few hours had passed since he regained consciousness. The pack members had seen him in the dining room with the human, Tessa.Part of me resented not being the first person he came to, but this man had spent the last week in the infirmary after saving my life; so I forced the thought down.I checked him over for any signs of pain or discomfort, bu

TESSA’S POVI couldn’t believe I was in Wraith’s room. I’d slept in his bed, and he had stayed right by my side until morning. His sheets smelled like him, and I couldn’t help but pull them closer to take a deep inhale.The sound of the shower running told me exactly where Wraith was. I fought the urge to sneak into the bathroom—partly because I wasn’t sure I was welcome, and partly because I was afraid I might be. I was still sore, so I made the smarter decision to stay in bed.Wraith had finally opened up to me last night; he’d told me about his parents and his pack—his past. That had been what I’d always wanted: Wraith’s trust. But the revelation had been... scary, for so many reasons. Now I finally understood the rivalry between him and the Callisters and he had every damned right to hate them. If I’d had caring and loving parents and they’d both been murdered along with everyone I grew up with—that'd be more than enough reason to not just seek vengeance but to hate the murderer

**ANGELINA POV**I held the pregnancy test in my hands, hope rising in my chest as the seconds ticked by. Earlier, I’d felt a bit nauseous and wondered if it was a sign—if I was finally pregnant.But then, a single pink line appeared. Not pregnant. I couldn’t hold back the tears. Damn, I’d been so hopeful; I thought this was finally it. I thought….wrong. Just like I’ve been the last hundred times I used the pregnancy test. I didn’t know why I was always so hopeful. I should give up, I should stop hoping, and perhaps that’s exactly what I’ll do.Distracted as I was, I heard the footsteps a little too late and only managed to shove the pregnancy test into a cabinet and wipe away my tears before Jake walked in.“I’ve been looking for you.” He said with a bright smile on his face.I’d heard that werewolves feel a sense of relief after shifting—that the feeling comes from their wolves finally being given a chance to be free.But then he looks at me—really looks at me.“What’s wrong?” he
