[FIVE YEARS AGO]DIANA'S POV"Don’t neutralize her just yet,” my husband, Eric Heart, says to a group of scientists surrounding him, his voice calm but laced with obsession.“I need to be certain she’s the one.”I watch them through hazy eyes, trying to stop the tears threatening to rush down my cheeks.I should have known from the start that Eric had never truly loved me…just like everyone else. I was too overwhelmed by the idea that someone might care for me, despite all the rumors, despite my abnormalities. I had believed he loved me, but I was wrong.We've been married for only two years, and now he's showing his true side. It’s still better than my parents, who had shown their hatred for me since I tried eating my way out of my mother’s womb.Eric turns toward me. When he sees I'm conscious, he smirks, not like the man who once pretended to love me, but like a psychopath obsessed with proving his twisted theory that supernatural creatures walk among us.“You’re awake, my love,” h

DIANA'S POVKael forces a smile and turns to Xiana. He lifts her effortlessly, and she wraps her tiny legs around his waist. Her long black hair is streaked with blonde highlights.“Why were you looking for me?” he asks, his tone calm as he runs his fingers through her hair.She giggles and brings her lips to his ear, then whispers something that makes him laugh.“Naughty girl, I’ve told you to stop finding trouble with Suzy,” Kael says, shaking his head as his eyes drop to mine.I glance away quickly, uncertain why the sight of him being tender makes me feel... unsettled. Maybe it’s because a man who exudes so much power and intimidation shouldn’t look so gentle.“You know it’s funny when she bloats like a tomato when she’s mad!” Xiana exclaims, and I nearly break into a smile.For some reason, there’s a pull in my heart from the moment she stepped into the room. It’s almost like she’s been a part of me.“That’s not an excuse for being naughty, Xiana,” Kael scolds.Xiana huffs and cr

KAEL'S POV “Did they harm anyone?” I ask Omega Carden as we head towards the vehicles covered in snow. “They killed seven of our Watchers and injured two,” Carden says grimly, and I exhale, clenching my jaw. Damn it. Goddess knows how badly I want to beat the sh*t out of Eric right now. I should have prepared. I should have known Eric would attack soon enough. For the past few days, there have been signs of humans passing by the vanity point. Their footprints, voices, and scents have been lingering. There’s no possibility they could see us, but there’s been more to Eric’s experiments lately. Ever since he captured Freda, the black magician, my pack has been in danger—because of me. I had been too busy obsessing over a hybrid to realize I was putting my pack at risk. And now seven of my men are dead because of my mistake. “Make sure the convoy carries enough armories. None of Eric’s men should leave that border alive. Keep one alive,” I order, and Carden nods in understand

DIANA'S POVKael pulls back and I finally feel able to breathe again. Something about the feeling of him so close sends goosebumps across my skin.It’s like if he touched me, my heart wouldn’t be able to stand it.He sits on the bed, arms behind him, and stares at his lap.“That wolf you saw earlier today was me. I shifted into my wolf to show you I wasn’t human, because I doubted your smarta** would believe me if I had just told you,” he starts off. “I'm a werewolf, just like everyone else here.”He sighs and runs a hand through his hair, like the next thing he’s about to say tastes like lime on his tongue.“Eric injected a poison into you. The toxin traveled as fast as light through your organs and blood vessels, destroying you from the inside out. You were dead... but only for a few minutes. I knew I had to do something quickly—I couldn’t just watch you die—so I sucked out as much Kryptonite as possible, marking you in the process.”“I managed to keep you alive long enough to bring
