ELIAS'S POVIt was finally the end of the semester and I was the first student to leave the dorm room. My mother was waiting in the limousine outside the dorm and I quietly loaded my bag inside.I slid into the car and the driver pulled out of the gate. My mother glanced at me but she didn't say anything. I knew she was waiting for me to speak first but I didn't.About an hour into the drive, she reached into her bag and pulled out a small seal plastic plate. She opened it and the smell hit me immediately, freshly baked cinnamon rolls, chocolate chip cookies, and something savory that reminded me of her famous meat pies."I made your favorites," she said softly. "All of them."I stared at the plates. "I'm not hungry.""Elias." Her voice was gentle but firm. "You've lost weight. Jace said you have not been eating well, so I thought this might help you get your appetite back.""I said I'm not…""Elias Thorne, I've been up since midnight making these for you. The least you can do is eat

ROWAN'S POVThe morning air was sharp and cold, biting at my fur as I ran. My paws pounded against the forest floor, kicking up leaves and frost as the trees blurred past me.This mountain territory was abandoned, forgotten by the packs that had once fought over it. No borders. No patrols. No one to tell me where I could or couldn't go.It was exactly what I'd wanted.I ran until my lungs burned until my legs screamed until the world narrowed to nothing but the rhythm of my breath and the beat of my heart. I slowed to a walk, then stopped at the edge of the lake.Louise, my wolf said inside my head. His voice was quiet but not gentle. ‘How long are you going to keep doing this?’‘Doing what?’‘Hiding.’I sat down, my wolf's haunches sinking into the cold. The lake stretched out before me, beautiful and empty.‘I'm not hiding. I'm thinking.’‘You've been thinking for weeks. When does the thinking turn into doing?’I didn't answer.Louise pressed forward in my mind, his presence warm an

ELIAS'S POVThe wedding venue was beautifully decorated with flowers draped every surface, white roses, pale pink peonies, trailing ivy. Fairy lights twinkled from the rafters, and the air smelled of winter blossoms and expensive perfume. Guests filled the grand hall, Alpha families from across the territory, all dressed in their finest.I stood near the entrance with my parents, accepting handshakes and pleasantries from all the Alpha that were kissing up to me and my father."Elias." My mother touched my arm. "Go find your friends. You've been standing here like a statue for ten minutes."I blinked. "Okay."She smiled, understanding in her eyes. "They'll be happy to see you."I nodded and slipped away from the crowd. I hadn't told anyone that I had decided to attend the wedding ceremony. I thought it would be a good idea to surprise them.A servant directed me to Gabriel's dressing room, a large suite on the second floor of the building away from the noise. The door was slightly op

ELIAS'S POVI watched from across the reception hall as one by one, our friends approached Rowan.Gabriel first then Gabriella, Jared and lastly the Drake cousins, Selena and Silva. I noticed he interacted more with the Drake cousins which made me wonder what they talked about.‘They could be bonding since they are the only family he had left,’ Carlos said, reminding me that Silva was a mutual cousin to both of them which somewhat made Selena and Rowan also related.I stood by the window and kept my eyes on him. Then Kael appeared beside me out of nowhere. “You are going to bore a hole in his head if you keep staring at him like that.”“I'm just happy that he is here.” I sipped my champagne. “Why did he suddenly come to the wedding? Was it you?”"Gabriella found out where he was through her visions, so we went to find him and gave him an invitation,” he explained. “We told him to come if he changed his mind about coming back.”“And he came,” I said with hope in my heart. “Does that me

ROWAN'S POVFrom everything I learnt about my past, I knew Silverhaven was the one place I despised the most and wanted to destroy but as I walked through the Mansion's gate with Elias beside me, it felt like home.The ambience was welcoming as the guards nodded at us and the servant smiled warmly.The head servant informed us that Alpha Killian was waiting for us in the study. Elias led the way and I followed quietly behind him.Elias knocked on the door of the study and Alpha Killian answered, “Come in.”Elias pushed the door open and we walked in to meet him sitting behind his desk with his eyes glued to his laptop."Rowan," he looked up with a smile on his face. "When you said you will be coming back, I didn't expect it to be this soon.”"I got a reality check and realised it was better to be back with people who care about me.” I glanced at Elias and he smiled."Good." He gestured to the chairs across from his desk. "Sit."Elias and I sat on the two chairs opposite him."I've spo
