GWENI did not know how long I had been here. The darkness and the cold walls around me made it impossible to tell if it was night or day. At first, I refused to eat the food that was brought to me. Every day, a rogue would come with a piece of stale bread and a small cup of water. I kept telling myself I would not touch it, that I would not give in, that I would rather starve than accept anything from them. But the moment I remembered that I was pregnant, I forced myself to eat.The bread tasted like dust and the water never quenched my thirst, but I chewed slowly and swallowed because I knew I could not let my child suffer because of my stubbornness. My stomach was weak and empty most of the time, but at least the small food kept me alive.Angela had not come to see me since the day she revealed herself. I had thought she would show up every day, taunting me, but instead she left me alone in this silent place. That silence made it worse. I had so many questions that burned inside

GWENI woke up on the cold floor again, my head still heavy from the last time I fainted. My body ached in places I could not even count, and my lips were cracked from dryness. The walls around me seemed closer than before, though I could not tell if it was because I had been here for too long or if the air was growing thinner. I also did not know how many days had passed, but the fear inside me had only grown stronger with every moment. I wanted to believe that Conan was looking for me, that Raya or Lucas or even Rian would not rest until I was found, but being trapped here made it harder to hold on to that hope.The door opened slowly, and two rogues stepped in with Angela walking behind them. She was holding a small box in her hand, and the look on her face made my stomach twist. I forced myself to sit up, even though my body screamed in protest.Angela placed the box on a small wooden table that had been brought into the room, then turned to look at me. “It is time, Gwen,” she sa

GWENThe faint glow from the wooden door behind the crates seemed to the first sign of light i had seen in what felt like endless days. It was not bright, only a weak shimmer that seemed to seep through the cracks in the old wood, but it was enough to make my body get filled with energy again. My heart began to beat faster. I pushed myself up from the ground, my limbs heavy and sore from the time I had spent locked in that miserable place.I touched the wood again to be sure. The glow was real. My chest tightened with both fear and hope. If there was light, then there was a way out. I began to move the crates carefully, pushing them aside to reveal the full door.Gathering what little strength I had, I pressed against the door. At first, it did not move, but I pushed harder until the wood creaked. The faint glow widened into a thin line of brightness, and with one last effort, the door swung open. I was forced to shield my eyes as sudden light poured in. After so many days in near dar

ALPHA CONAN We returned to Mystic Pack, and the silence in the car felt heavier than the weight of our failure. We had demanded answers, searched every corner, interrogated every warrior and scout, yet there had been no sign of Gwen. Not even a trace of her scent. It was as if she had disappeared completely.Lucas was the first to break the silence.“Alpha,” he started, “we cannot stop here. We need to take this beyond Riverclaw. We need to consider other packs.”I leaned back in my chair inside the meeting hall of the pack. The warriors that had escorted us stood outside, waiting for instructions. “Other packs?” I repeated, my tone sharper than intended. “We searched everywhere. Where do you suggest we go next? Every lead points to Riverclaw and Everpine pack.” He paused before he continued speaking “Alpha, we need to consider Everpine Pack. We heard what The pack members of Riverclaw had to say before.Alpha Oren’s name came up numerous times.”At the mention of Oren, I remembered

ALPHA CONANThe journey to Everpine Pack felt longer than it should have, even though I kept urging the warriors to move faster. My thoughts were not with the road but with Gwen, and the constant silence in my head because Gwen and I didn't have a bond only made the worry heavier. When we finally reached the Everpine Pack’s borders, Alpha Oren and his men were already waiting.“Conan,” Oren greeted me with a firm handshake. “We need to talk before you see her.”I straightened up immediately. “Where is she? Take me to her.”“She is safe,” Oren replied, glancing at his Beta who stood a few steps behind. “But before you go to her, there are things you need to hear.”I shook my head. “I will not stand here and talk while she lies somewhere alone. Tell me while we walk.”Oren hesitated, then gave a small nod and gestured for me to follow. We moved toward the packhouse, his voice was lower now. “She was found at our border. She was hurt, Conan. Whoever left her there did not mean well. She
