Sabrina. " I think someone killed her " I concluded, my eyes sharp as I keenly took in their expressions. ' That's true, Sabrina. Everything doesn't add up. She might have sensed her death two weeks earlier, but that doesn't mean she gave up on herself. ' My wolf link, her explanation adding to my clarity, but also, shattering something within me, and for a moment, my lungs closed up, making it hard for air to get out. It was okay that Fords didn't love me. I only hoped that he had nothing to do with my Mom's death, honestly. He had stayed by her side for ten years. For ten years, he had waited, patiently, for love that was never likely to come. Then she decided to give in, to give him the love that he had been waiting for, to actually marry him, only for her to die two weeks later. Honestly, I wanted to believe in him, in the whatever goodness he had in him, but I couldn't. " Is that what you think?" My Mother-in-law asked, her voice trembling, tears rimming th

Sabrina. " I will give you a name." After a moment of silence, she finally conceded. " The person I was talking to is my father." She revealed, the expression on her face unreadable, and my brows drew closer in confusion as I waited for her to say more. Yes. I had known Ivy for four years, but aside from knowing her as a person, I honestly knew nothing about her family. We met in Greenland pack, studied together, became friends, and started working together. For some reason, no one had been curious to know about the other person's background, at least, in the beginning. Later, as we became familiar with each other, we started opening up, and I told her about my fallout with Rhys. As for her? I hadn't noticed it before, but now that I was looking back, there wasn't much that I knew about her, aside from the fact that she disagreed with her family, which led to their fallout, and later, she came to Greenland Pack. No matter how I looked at it, she had just been like

Sabrina. Foreign calmness surrounded me, punctuated by deep silence, save for the gentle hums of our hearts. It was my Mom and me. She was in her study, meticulously polishing her jewellery pieces while I sat on the side couch, silently watching her. Occasionally, she would flash a smile my way, warm, familiar, and comforting. No words were said. None wee needed. We just had each other, and those moments were priceless. If only they could last forever, I thought as my gaze lingered longer on her. She was beautiful, otherworldly beautiful, actually. She sensed my gaze, she should have turned to face, but she didn't. Her image became blurry, just a familiar silhouette. It was like she was vanishing, slowly, creating a distance between us. I raised my hands, trying to get a hold of her, but I didn't. The space was empty, she wasn't there. Panic and fear coursed through my veins with vicious intensity and my eyes burned with tears as I tried to open my mouth. I tried c

Sabrina. For the first time, Rhys and I didn't argue. We moved in sync, side by side, daggers swinging, claws elongated and canines bared as we defended our pack. The attack was abrupt, out of the blue, and we were caught unprepared. If I could remember correctly, pack attacks used to be rare, very rare, actually, with maybe one attack in a year or none at all. And yet, in a span of one month, our pack had been attacked twice. Well, I understood that the first attack, which I was their sole target, was actually planned by Amery, but even then, the second seemed suspicious, and I couldn't help but notice a pattern in their movements. Their precision, the attack was very similar to the first one, and if my eyes weren't playing tricks on me, they seemed to be targeting me. Rhys and I were fighting together, and yet, somehow, more swords were thrown my way, more daggers aimed at my throat, and instead of just attacking, I was reduced to a defender... ' You are right, Sab

Sabrina. Strong antiseptic smell wafted through my nose, followed by the beeping of machines. I was in the hospital, Pack's hospital, to be precise, and as the events that had happened previously graced my mind, I woke up in a jolt, all my sleep vanishing. Rhys was badly hurt. He had been hurt while protecting me. And the pain of seeing him hurt had been so much that I had fainted from shock. And then there was the fear of losing him. The dagger had dug deeper into his spine. Even as a werewolf, an Alpha wolf even, his recovery wasn't guaranteed. There was even a possibility. ' No! ' I visibly shook my head, my face hard with denial. ' Please, be safe! He has to be safe, Ava! ' I linked my wolf, nervously as I frantically made my way from my room, the hospital room that I had woken up in as I went searching for him, for any news about him. " Sabrina? You are awake!" Just then, my mother-in-law's voice called out, as she raised her hand, signalling me to go where
