Riley's POV Their words don't register as I lift the cup again and gulp down the rest of the drink quickly.The liquid is still bitter but I do not care anymore. I need strength and right now anything that helps my body recover is something I will take.When the cup is empty, I lower my hand and drop it gently to the ground beside me.For a few seconds I just stand there breathing slowly.Then something strange happens.The pain that had been burning through my body earlier slowly fades away. My legs stop shaking as much and the tight ache in my chest becomes lighter.I blink in surprise.“Okay… that worked way faster than I expected,” I say quietly.The warmth from the drink spreads through my arms and legs and I feel strength returning little by little.I place both hands on my knees and carefully push myself upright.This time I stand without collapsing.It still hurts a little but it is no longer unbearable.I test my balance by taking a few small steps.My legs still feel weak b

Riley's POVThe moment that woman’s voice echoes in my head screaming “Aemoria run!” something inside me snaps.With every little bit of strength I still have left in my body, I shove Dahlia away from me as hard as I can.“Get off me you fucker!”She stumbles back from the sudden push and I lose my balance too. My legs give out under me and I fall hard on the ground.My hands immediately grab my head as another wave of pain slams into my skull.“Ahhh—!”It feels like my brain is being ripped apart from the inside. The flashes, the voices, the screaming people, the blood everywhere, they are still trying to force their way through my mind and I cannot stop them.“What the hell have you done to me you bastard?!” I yell angrily while gripping my head.My voice echoes across the clearing as I glare at her.Dahlia straightens herself slowly like nothing serious just happened.“I have done nothing to you,” she says calmly.Her voice annoys me even more.“Nothing?!” I shout.“Are you kidding m

Caden's POVBy the time I reach my father’s wing of the pack house, the anger inside me is already burning out of control.My steps are heavy and fast as I move down the long hallway and every person who sees me quickly moves out of the way like their life depends on it.Maybe it does.Two maids are walking toward the corridor carrying folded sheets but the moment they notice my face their expressions turn pale.They freeze.Then they quickly lower their heads and try to move aside.But I am already too angry to care.“Move,” I snap.They scramble away immediately and one of them drops the sheets she was carrying.I keep walking.My fists are clenched so tightly that my knuckles feel stiff.The image of Summer lying unconscious keeps replaying in my mind and every single time it does my anger grows stronger.A ten year old girl.A child.My brother’s daughter.And the person who poisoned her had the nerve to sit at the same table with her and smile like nothing was wrong.My father.S

Cane’s POVThe air around the Tithers territory always feels wrong.The moment we get close enough to see the outer marshlands again, that strange feeling returns immediately.The ground here is wet and dark and the smell of the marsh water is strong. I can hear insects buzzing everywhere and the thick mud pulls slightly at my boots with every step I take.Bane is walking a few steps ahead of me.His movements are quiet and controlled like he knows exactly where he is going.That alone makes me watch him more carefully.This place is not somewhere people casually walk through unless they know it well.And Bane clearly does.The outline of the Tithers town slowly comes into view.The crooked houses are built on raised platforms above the swampy ground and small bridges connect them across the muddy water.Even from this distance I can see shadows moving between the buildings.Tithers.Disgusting creatures.They always thrive in places like this where the ground is wet and the air smell

Cane’s POVBane suddenly grabs my arm and pulls me hard.“Run!”For a moment I am too stunned to react.“Are you serious right now?” I snap angrily as he drags me forward through the marsh.But Bane does not slow down.He keeps moving fast and pulling me with him.“Run!” he repeats again.My anger immediately spikes.“Why the hell would an Alpha run from danger?” I shout at him as I jerk my arm away from his grip.But he keeps moving beside me.“I know you can kill them,” he says quickly.“Then what is the problem?” I growl.“We must run,” he answers firmly.The Gravemaws behind us suddenly release a loud chorus of guttural growls.Their feet slam into the muddy ground as they start chasing us.I glance back quickly.They are moving fast.Way too fast for creatures that look half dead.Their bodies move in strange jerky motions and their teeth snap loudly with every step they take.“Unbelievable,” I mutter under my breath.Bane and I run through as quickly as possible.The mud splashe
