Jay's POV"We should stop seeing each other," I said to Jewel, who sat opposite me in the mostly dimly lit coffee shop. The aromatic scent of freshly brewed espresso filled the air, yet it was little solace to the awkwardness hanging between us as thick as fog."Why?" Her eyes instantly welled up, her voice breaking as she clutched her latte cup tighter. "Do you not like me anymore?"I sighed, staring into my half-empty mug. It wasn't that I didn't like her anymore; it was that I'd never liked her in the first place. Jewel was a self-absorbed woman who was into herself and her so-called glamorous life. All she knew was to talk about herself, prattling over and over about her newly bought stuff, her flawless makeup, or how everyone envied her "perfect" figure. What really irritated me most was that she had nothing to boast about. No real accomplishments, no passions other than superficial nonsense. Every little talk with her always boiled down to her father's achievements, whatever tha

POV: Melody"But having secrets doesn't mean I don't love you, Don."The words had come out before I could help myself. My voice shook, fragile as glass, yet heavy with the weight of all that I'd been concealing.Don's face softened, and to my surprise, he reached out—his fingers tilting my chin upward until my eyes met his. His gaze was dark and steady, like he could see right through the layers of fear I had built around my heart."Oh, sweetheart, I know that," he said softly but firmly. "I've never doubted your love. But I've also known… you've been waiting to tell me something."His voice struck deep, brushing against wounds I thought I'd buried. My heart ached. I wanted to look away, but his eyes held me still."You wouldn't believe me if I told you," I whispered, shaking my head. "You'd think I'm crazy… or worse, a freak."Don’s fingers on my chin tightened slightly, but his tone dropped to something low and fierce."I swear to you, Melody, no matter what you say, no matter what

POV: MelodyBy now the afternoon sun had started to decline, and one of the guards on duty called out to me from the main gate.“Miss Melody,” he said, his voice uncertain. “Someone’s waiting for you. It’s… Jay Merlot.”I froze. The name alone made the air around me feel heavy.Jay Merlot. The man who once called himself Alpha of the Merlot Pack. The man who betrayed me and brought my world to ruins.“Alpha Andrew isn’t around. Should we let him in? ” he added.I didn't say anything for a long moment. A hundred different memories played through my mind: his cold eyes, his false promises, and the way he laughed as I begged for truth. Then I took a deep breath and said, "Let him in."The creaking of metal gates opened, and Jay stepped through, like a ghost resurrected from the ashes.I hardly knew him.Gone was that once-proud stance of his; shoulders hunched under the weight of failure, the posture of an Alpha who lost more than his title but his pride altogether. The fire once in his

Don’s POVMorning came before I was prepared for it. I had hardly slept, for the image of Melody's face appeared every time I shut my eyes. The memory of her smile, her scent, and her voice lingered long after I left her yesterday.So, long before the first light of the sun broke through the trees, I was standing in front of her house.The guards blinked at me, surprised to see the Alpha of another pack arriving this early, but they let me in immediately. My steps echoed softly as I walked into the receiving room, where Alpha Andrew was already awake, sorting through documents. He lifted his head as I entered, his expression unreadable but sharp."Alpha Don," he said slowly, crossing his arms. "You were here just yesterday. What brings you back so early? What takes you here again?"I bowed my head respectfully. "Permission to speak, Alpha Andrew."He nodded once. “Go on.”"I came to ask for permission to bring Melody out today," I said, meeting his gaze steadily. "I want to take her o

Melody's POVI felt my breath leave my chest.“J—Jennifer?”She walked closer, heels clicking sharply against the concrete floor. In the dim light, her eyes shone with something far darker than mere anger.“Surprised, sweetheart?” she asked sweetly.“I… I don’t understand,” I whispered. “Why are you doing this?”Jennifer stopped right in front of me, crossing her arms.“Why?” She laughed sharply. “You really need me to explain?”She crouched down so we were at eye level.Her perfume mixed horribly with the metallic air of the room.“I love him,” she whispered.“Alpha Don.”My heart dropped.“Jennifer, Don, and I—”SLAP!She suddenly stood up and kicked me in my stomach—hard.The air burst out of my lungs.I gasped, struggling for air.The masked men behind her chuckled at the show.Jennifer paced slowly around me, like a predator circling her wounded prey."You walk around like you're special," she hissed.“Like you're meant to stand beside him as his Luna… to be his wife. Yet, you ar
