Abby's POV I just stood there, watching Valentina breathe in and out slowly through her mouth just to calm herself down. Then, she started fanning herself with her hand.“Valentina.” I called softly but she didn't answer, so I continued. “Ca…can you please, change the condition? Hayden won't answer me.”“Then make him answer.” She snapped.I pressed my lips into a thin line. “Okay… give me this one more chance. I’ll fix this, I promise.”She threw me a deadly glare. “One more chance, huh? Okay. I’m watching you.”Then she stormed away. I released the air I didn't know I was holding in. Goddess. It's barely six hours since we were back from Kea and Valentina is already making things this hard. I let out a breath. Maggie's voice cut through my thoughts.“Mrs Roche.” She emerged with her eyes widened in surprise and her hands covering her mouth. Some maids followed closely behind her, smiling. “Oh goddess! We're glad you're our Luna.” She hugged me and suddenly gasped. She stepped bac

Abby's POV I blinked. “Special?”He nodded. “Yes. Maybe something you can't get within the pack.”That's funny. I tilted my head and held my chin trying to think of something. Yeah. I remembered my favourite combo. “Fries and vanilla ice cream”“What?” Both Hayden and Alex chorused.“That sounds gross.” Alex said.“Hmmm. You're wrong. Even Alpha Edward loves the combo.” I said pouting dramatically.Hayden shrugged and asked Alex to branch to a reputable human restaurant. I insisted we eat it there and we all ordered the same thing.Alex threw Hayden a quick glance. “We're not doing that, are we?”But Hayden kept a straight face. “Let’s all try it out. Might not be that bad.”Alex gave a dry chuckle. We all headed to their VIP section and sat with our fries and vanilla ice cream. Hayden and Alex kept exchanging glances, silently daring the other to take the first bite. I laughed and dipped a fry into the cream, then shoved it into Hayden’s mouth.“Eeeww!” He pulled a face like I’d j

Hayden’s POVThe Ashwolf that is still locked in my pack, Maculy Ronan, the athlete.With some connections, we pulled his missing person file from human authorities. It stated he vanished fourteen months ago while training abroad.Official cause of disappearance not known. The investigation had been quietly closed two months after it opened. No press coverage. No further digging. Almost like someone didn’t want him to be found.Lucious uncovered the same pattern for a few other athletes over the last three years. All humans. All missing. All their cases shut down fast.Could someone really be targeting them? Turning them?My brow lifted as the pieces tried to arrange themselves in my head. That would explain the Ashwolves' agility. Their raw power. Even their unpredictability.“It seems someone is targeting the werewolf clan and trying to wipe us out by using the Ashwolves.” Alex had said. Logically, I believed that too. This isn't some rogue experiment. It’s organized. Funded. Hidde

Hayden’s POV The person beside Clara was Derek.I clenched my jaw harder. That bastard is so full of shit, and I won’t hesitate to expose every last one of them.I’m still not satisfied with the punishment the Council gave him. Suspended from Alpha position till further notice? That's too lenient. Attempted murder should’ve earned him exile or worse, but some Alphas pleaded for him, vouched for him. I let it go for the sake of diplomacy.But now, it seems he’s digging his own grave. Because if I find out he's involved in this Ashwolves operation, I will be the one to bury him.“What is Clara’s room status?” I faced Lucious.“Spending the night at the motel. Her booking ends tomorrow morning.”I rubbed my chin and grabbed my jacket. “Let's go Alex.”We jumped into the car and drove straight to Varela Bay. Even at full speed, it still took three hours from Duskfire.We have no concrete proof of Clara’s involvement in the athletes’ disappearances yet, but she’s definitely not innocent.

Abby’s POVIt was the necklace Hayden gave me. “Yeah,” I replied simply.He hummed. “The one I gave you three years ago… right under this tree. Replaced so fast. I’m jealous right now.”I blinked fast. That's true. He'd given me the old necklace here back then. We often used to sit here, talk here. Just like now. He laughed. “What’s with the frown? I’m kidding. I can see you already love him. Hayden.” Then, he looked ahead. “I’m sorry, Abby. For trying to hurt the man you love.”With the way he said “the man you love”...my stomach twisted. Although, I'm no longer confused about my feelings between him and Hayden. It's Hayden I want. And I'll choose him over and over again. But, I just felt sorry Derek came back too late. If he’d told me how he felt three years ago, maybe things would be different now.“I wasn’t thinking straight,” he added. “I just wanted to get back at him.”“For?” Whatever reason he had, I still feel he's not justified. To have thought of killing someone? Even if
