THIRD PERSON POV:Darius and his men drove for three long days, only stopping for gas. Only Lisa got a few hours of rest.“We are approaching the Moonclaw Pack's border,” Kael said, glaring at the group of soldiers that stood ahead.The cars slowed down. Up front, a strong gate blocked the road. Tall black fences with cameras on top loomed overhead. Ten guards in dark uniforms stood in a line. They held their guns low, but they were alert. Behind them, more men watched from small guard posts.The lead car stopped, then all the cars behind it stopped too. The engines stayed on, rumbling.One guard stepped forward. He was big, with short hair and a serious look on his face. He raised his hand.“Stop right there,” he said aloud. “Show me your ID and state your business. This is Moonclaw’s private land. No one enters without permission.”Darius opened his door slowly and stepped out. He wore a black jacket and looked calm, like he was the alpha of the pack. Lisa stayed inside, her heart b

RONAN:We pushed through the trees in silence for a while. The only sounds were our boots crunching on leaves and vines snapping under our feet.We had only slept for four or maybe five hours before noticing a boar lying dead on the ground.“Do you know what could have caused this?” Silas asked, leaning closer.“Wait, the marks. They look like wolf bites, right behind the neck,” I said, glaring.“This could mean we are close.”“We better move faster.”Sweat ran down my back and stung my eyes, but I didn’t slow down.The smoke was closer now, thicker, and I could smell it properly: wood burning.Silas stayed right behind me, breathing hard but keeping pace.“But you seemed more concerned with the fact that Cole was with her more than she was even lost, you know,” Silas confessed.“I am equally concerned, Silas,” I said, still moving faster.I hadn't told Silas that Lyra cheated on me with Cole while I was in a coma.“Come on, there's something you're not telling me,” Silas said as he a

RONAN:We waited until the sun dipped low and the shadows stretched long across the clearing before moving again.The village was already going quiet. They didn’t have any guards. It was like they never expected any danger.People were gathering around smaller fires for evening meals, but there were still too many eyes and too many voices speaking in that unfamiliar language for us to walk straight in.Silas and I stayed crouched behind the bushes, watching, waiting for a moment when the paths cleared.Then I saw her.Lyra stepped out of one of the houses near the edge, wrapped in a blanket.My eyes and Silas’s went wide. Lyra was really here. She was alive and well. I felt tears trying to come out of my eyes.She was talking quietly to an older woman with white hair. I figured she might be the leader here from the way she carried herself.Lyra nodded at something the woman said, then turned and walked back into the same small house alone. Cole wasn’t with her. It made me concerned a

THIRD PERSON POV:“There,” Jake said, pointing ahead. “The island.”Darius nodded slowly as his plan kept moving forward perfectly.Lisa stood silent and prayed in her heart, “Ronan… please be there first.”But the ship pushed forward faster, cutting through the dark sea straight toward the island and all the danger waiting on it.The island grew bigger and bigger in front, with black trees standing tall like long fingers reaching into the sky, but it was still far ahead.No people could be seen yet. But Lyra was somewhere on that dark land, hiding with her baby.Darius stood at the rail next to Jake while Lisa stayed back near the door, her heart pounding loud in her chest. She watched Darius’s men move quietly through the shadows with knives already in their hands. The Moonclaw men were still working below deck, but fewer of them remained now because many had already disappeared.Jake leaned against the rail and spoke with confidence. “When we land, my men will go first. They know h

LYRA:Tears ran down my face. “I know how it looked,” I whispered. “But it was only the cold. Nothing ever happened between us. You have to trust me, Ronan.”“I know this might not be the right time to speak, but… I need to,” Cole started.“As much as I want Lyra to be with me, I won’t lie. Nothing ever happened between us. She never let it,” he explained.“The only reason we shared the bed was because there was nowhere else to sleep. We stayed on opposite sides. We didn’t touch,” Cole added.“That night was different… the cold was harsh, so I covered her to make sure she slept comfortably. I had no other intentions, only her safety and the baby’s.”Cole looked up. “That’s it. Nothing more than that.”Ronan looked at Cole for a moment and back to me, and then she smiled, hugging me tightly.I hugged him back, burying my face in his chest.“I missed you,” I whispered. “I really didn’t think I would ever see you again.”He held me tighter. “I was never going to stop looking,” he said ag
