CHAPTER 91

~ Doris ~“Mom, this is a very hurtful story,” I said, leaning forward on the edge of the bed, my voice quieter now.My mother let out a slow breath and nodded.“Yes, honey… it was very hurtful for me,” she said softly. Her eyes looked far away, like she was seeing things that happened many years ago.I frowned slightly, trying to process everything she had just told me about Jackson Black.“So now I can see it,” I said after a moment. “Jackson Black is still the same. He’s just being petty… starting an unnecessary war, just to stress you out. Just like before.”Mom’s expression hardened a little at the mention of his name.“He has always been self-centered,” she said. “Even when we were teenagers. And I honestly don’t think he will ever change.”Silence settled between us for a moment.Then I looked at her more carefully.“So… Do you regret it?” I asked quietly. “Do you regret the decisions you made twenty-five years ago?”She didn’t answ

CHAPTER 92

~ Blade POV ~I stood outside Doris’s ward, giving myself a hundred reasons why I shouldn’t go inside.After the heated argument I had with Ryder, I had finally accepted the truth—Doris was not mine to claim. She belonged to him, not me.Still… I would be here for her. Like always. Even if it meant watching from a distance. Even if it meant waiting for a moment that might never come, when I could finally claim her as mine.Lost in my thoughts, I suddenly heard a loud noise coming from Doris’s room.I rushed inside.My eyes instantly dropped to the broken vase and the arrow on the floor.“What happened?” I asked sharply, scanning the room.“An attack,” she said quickly, still breathing hard. “Through the window.”I didn’t waste another second.My expression changed instantly.Then I saw him.The masked man outside the window, running.“Stay here. I’ll handle it,” I said immediately.“No—Blade,” She tried to stop me.I didn’t

CHAPTER 93

“Dad… why?”The word tore out of me, raw and broken.I was still on my knees, my hands trembling so badly I couldn’t steady them. Tears blurred my vision, but I didn’t wipe them away. I couldn’t. Not when the truth stood right in front of me.“How could you do this for so many years?” I shouted, my voice echoing through the forest. Birds scattered from the trees, startled by the force of it.But he didn’t move.He just stayed there… watching me.Like he was thinking. Like he was choosing his words carefully—as if this was just another conversation, not a moment that was tearing me apart.The man who had been hunting Doris.The man who had caused fear, chaos, death… was my father.And deep down, I already knew.If he was capable of this… then Nana’s death wasn’t a coincidence.For a moment, I couldn’t breathe.“Answer me!” I roared. “Why did you do this?”He finally moved.Slowly, he pushed himself up from the ground, wincing as

CHAPTER 94

“So you’re behind everything happening to Doris, right?” I shot back, my voice sharp, cutting through the heavy silence between us.My father didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he watched me—calm, unreadable.Then he spoke.“You think I would actually kill her?” he asked quietly.The question made me pause.It didn’t sound like a lie but it didn’t sound like the truth either.I waited.Something about the way he said it didn’t sit right with me.“I aimed that arrow to scare her,” he continued. “Not to kill her.”A bitter laugh escaped me.“You expect me to believe that after you just threatened to kill her?” I asked, my voice low but filled with anger.“No,” he replied calmly. “I expect you to think. For once.”Before I could respond, he stepped closer.Close enough for me to see the blood still running down his face… close enough to feel the weight of his presence.“I need you to move,” he said. “I need you to stop hiding in

CHAPTER 95

I stayed rooted in the woods long after my father disappeared into the shadows. The weight of his words pressed down on me like a stone on my chest. Kill Ryder and take his place as Alpha.The thought turned my stomach. I had been angry with Ryder plenty of times, but never once had I imagined ending his life. Never.I shook my head, trying to clear the fog. Doris. I needed to see her. I had to know she was still breathing.Pushing through the trees, I stepped back into the open, but the moment I looked down, I cursed. My clothes were shredded from the shift—ripped shirt hanging in strips, pants torn at the knees. I couldn’t walk into the clinic looking like a wild animal.I waited in the shadows beside the path. Footsteps approached. A young male omega came walking by, humming softly to himself. Before he could react, I stepped out and grabbed him, pulling him sharply into the corner.He froze instantly.“I don’t want to hurt you,” I said, my voice

CHAPTER 96

“What the fuck did you just say?”My father’s roar filled the private room like thunder. He lunged forward and grabbed my shirt with both fists, shaking me hard. His eyes were wild, veins bulging on his forehead. I had never seen him like this genuinely scared before.“Alpha Stone is alive,” I repeated, keeping my voice steady. “He’s been treated in a hidden basement at the pack house as we speak.”“I heard you!” he shouted, still gripping my shirt. “How is he alive? He died three years ago! We made sure of it!” His voice cracked with panic as he shook me again.“Dad, I don’t have all the details,” I said quickly. “I only found out recently. I’m still trying to understand how he’s alive. I followed Ryder one fateful day and saw it with my own eyes. Ryder and Ms D were down there, treating him. His eyes opened, but he couldn’t see anything. Ms D said he has memory loss. He probably won’t recognize anyone right now.”My father released me and stumbled bac

CHAPTER 97

“Blade, I already told you,” my father said, his voice low and tight. “Finish the mission properly—exactly as I instructed. Come back home in one piece, and I’ll tell you everything you want to know about that necklace… including how it ended up here.”Something in his tone felt wrong. He wouldn’t meet my eyes. His gaze kept sliding away from the wall to the floor, like he was hiding behind his own words.I studied him for a moment, searching for something real in his expression, but all I found was control and something else underneath it.Fear.Or maybe guilt.I couldn’t tell anymore.“Fine,” I said finally. My voice came out calm, but my chest wasn’t. “I’ll get it done. Then I’m coming back for answers.”I didn’t wait for him to respond.I turned and stormed out of the private room. On my way, I snatched one of the black masks from the wall. I couldn’t risk being recognized tonight, and I needed to fucking get this damn mission done real quick.

CHAPTER 98

I stared down at the notebook in my hands.Doris’s notebook.My fingers moved on their own, flipping through the pages again and again, like repetition alone could force answers out of ink and paper.Maybe I missed something.Maybe there was a hidden meaning I didn’t see the first time.But every page looked the same.Half-written thoughts. Quiet notes. Empty gaps that didn’t explain anything.And that was the worst part.The silence inside it felt intentional.Like the truth was there… just not for me yet.My mind wouldn’t stop spinning.Why now?Why was everything from my past suddenly coming back in pieces I couldn’t understand?First my father’s lies.Then the necklace.Now this notebook.I flipped one more page.Still nothing.I let out a shaky breath, closed the notebook, and slipped it deep into my inner pocket. No more time. I had to move.I walked toward the door and stopped just before it.I pr

CHAPTER 99

~ Ryder ~ “Baby… are you bored?” I asked softly, looking down at Doris.Her head rested on my thigh, her body relaxed like she had finally found a place where nothing could hurt her. My fingers moved gently through her hair, brushing the strands again and again, like I was trying to memorize every part of her.She shifted slightly and tilted her head up, her eyes meeting mine without leaving my lap. There was a spark in them—playful, curious.“If I say I’m bored,” she said, her voice light but teasing, “what exactly are you going to do to entertain me?”A small smile tugged at my lips.“I’ll sing for you,” I whispered.Before she could react, I leaned down and pressed a soft kiss against her lips. She smiled into it, and something in my chest tightened. Moments like this… they made everything else fade away.For a second, it felt like there was no danger. No enemies. Just her.Then movement caught my eye.I glanced to the side and saw Ms

CHAPTER 100

** 3 years ago **~ Alpha Stone ~The house was unusually quiet that afternoon.I sat alone in the sitting room, half-watching a movie that I wasn’t really paying attention to. Ryder was away on a trip with Blade and Julius. The house always felt different when he wasn’t around—less noise, less tension, but also less life.From the kitchen, I could hear the faint clatter of dishes. Luna Elena.She had been in there for a while now. Cooking again.A small smile touched my lips.Cooking was her escape. Whenever something weighed on her mind, she would lose herself in flavors, spices, and recipes—like she could stir her worries away.Just as I leaned back into the couch, a soft voice broke the silence.“Greetings, Alpha.”I turned immediately.Nana stood at the entrance of the room.For a moment, I hadn’t even heard her come in.“Nana?” I said, surprised, then smiled warmly. “What brings you here?”She walked toward me quickl
