Aldric POVThe new house appeared ahead of us. A small wooden cabin surrounded by tall trees. Inside, it was simple. A wide bed big enough for two. A modest wardrobe in the corner. A wooden desk. And a small bathroom lit by an oil lamp.I stepped inside while holding Corinne in my arms. Slowly, very carefully, I laid her on the bed.Her chest rose and fell as she slept. Her body was still burning with fever, but I felt a little calmer knowing she was in a better place now.One of the Omegas entered quietly. She placed several bottles of medicine and some neatly folded clean clothes on the small table beside the bed. Then she bowed respectfully and left without a sound, leaving the house silent except for the two of us and the faint rhythm of our breathing.Gamma Kyle remained standing outside the house, watching with tense eyes until I stepped out a moment later.My chest rose and fell slowly. My eyes burned with worry.Kyle spoke."Alpha... the attacker we captured is Alpha Lunar's s

Yossi POVThe harsh cold rising from the stone floor of the prison crept deep into my bones. Yet it was nothing compared to the icy stares cutting through my isolation. Outside, the pack was boiling with rage. The cries of the grieving widow demanding my execution reached my ears like the hissing of furious snakes.My body trembled.Not from fear.But from the heavy silence that suddenly fell when Drake walked through the prison gates.He moved with the calm authority of an Alpha who did not care about the pack’s screaming crowd. He knew that bending to their anger would only strip him of his dignity.When his eyes landed on me, my breath caught.I sat there with my hands chained together. The loose shirt barely covered part of my body, while my long hair fell over my shoulders, framing my pale face.Slowly, I lifted my head toward him. My neck muscles tightened painfully, but I made sure my eyes shone with clear defiance.I dug my nails into my palms and said in a low voice dripping

Corin POVMy body felt heavy as Drake carried me in his arms. My cheek rested against his chest, and I could feel the hard muscles there moving under my ear with every steady step he took. But the moment the distant noise of the courtyard reached my ears, my heart jolted awake. I shifted uneasily in his arms, the cold air brushing my face, and whispered in a trembling plea behind my lips."Put me down… I'll walk on my own."He said nothing. But I felt his warm breath brush my forehead before he finally obeyed. He lowered me gently onto my feet, so softly that my body suddenly remembered its own weight. Yet the freedom I thought I would get never came. The second my feet touched the ground, his large hand closed firmly around mine. His long fingers slid between my own, locking them together with a strength that allowed no argument, and he guided me with calm steps toward the courtyard.The pack filled the place.They sat in neat rows, waiting for food. Normal conversations floated thro

Corinne POVThe air froze inside my lungs.My chest tightened so hard it hurt.Yossi.My only friend.That scent… my senses could never mistake it. Not even if it was mixed with a thousand other smells.What is she doing here?How did she get to this place?The gears in my mind stopped turning. Only my heartbeat remained, pounding in my ears like war drums.Beside me, I felt Drake's presence.The face that had been calm moments ago was now carved from silent fury. The sharp scent of blood filled the air… and mixed with it was another familiar smell.The scent of Alpha Glacier's sister.I lost control of my feet.I rushed forward like a madwoman, cutting through the narrow paths between the huts while Drake's heavy footsteps thundered behind me.The smell of blood swallowed everything.Yossi's scent became stronger with every step, confirming that my nightmare was real.In that moment, I wished I had lost my senses.I wished my nose had betrayed me.When I burst out from between the hu

Corinne POVI stepped into the bathroom, searching for a small escape from the storm inside my head.Warm water poured over my body. It slid across my bare shoulders, then slowly traced the line of my back, its heat melting the tight knots in my muscles. The steam wrapped around me, soft and heavy, until my tense body finally began to loosen.For a few minutes, I stood there washing away the weight of the day that had clung to my skin.Before leaving, I wrapped myself in a soft white robe. The fabric slipped slightly off my shoulders each time I moved, revealing the curve of my collarbone and part of my bare legs.I opened the door slowly while drying my hair with tired fingers.Then my feet stopped.Frozen.Near the window, Aldric sat in the shadows.The darkness swallowed most of his features, but my wolf deep inside my soul trembled violently. A wave of raw, dangerous pleasure rushed through me, crushing my pride beneath his silent dominance.Heat rushed to my face, staining my che
