IVY POVThe room didn’t feel the same anymore. Before, it had just been a healer’s room. Quiet and safe enough for Mira to rest.Now it felt crowded.Not because of the people standing there but because of the truth sitting sitting front on our lapsArin was still staring at me like I had just told him the sky was green.“You’re serious?” he said.“Yes.”“That guy—” he pointed straight at Darius, “is our father?”“Yes.”“Wow.”Mira was calmer about it, but she hadn’t stopped watching Darius since the moment I said it.Not scared but just curious.That worried me more.Lucian crossed his arms.“Ivy’s right,” he said. “This conversation isn’t continuing right now.”Arin looked at him.“Why not?”“Because Mira needs rest.”Mira immediately protested.“I’m not even tired.”“You’re injured,” Lucian said calmly.“That doesn’t mean I’m stupid.”I almost smiled at that.Arin turned back to me.“So you were just… never going to tell us we had a real dad?”“I was waiting.”“For wha-?”“The righ

The Silence

The silence after Arin’s question didn’t feel normal.It wasn’t the quiet of people thinking.It was the kind that sat heavy in your chest and refused to move.“If you two keep arguing like this… are we going to be stuck here forever?”He was half-joking when he said it.But no one laughed.Because the answer wasn’t simple.I exhaled slowly and stepped closer to Mira’s bed.“No,” I said finally. “You won’t be stuck anywhere.”Arin crossed his arms. “That didn’t sound convincing.”“It’s the truth.”Lucian moved beside me, his presence steady like always. “You’re both leaving with us,” he said. “Once the healer clears Mira.”Darius let out a quiet breath behind us.“That’s not happening.”I didn’t turn this time.I was tired of turning.Tired of reacting.“Mira is injured,” I said. “She’s not moving anywhere until she’s stable. After that, we’re leaving.”“You won’t make it far.”“There it is again,” I muttered. “That threat you keep hiding behind calm words.”“It’s not a threat.”“Then

Silence 2

LUCIAN POVI didn’t like the silence in that room.Not the quiet kind.The kind that sits between people who are one wrong word away from breaking everything.Ivy stood by Mira’s bed, her hand wrapped around her daughter’s like she was holding her in place. Arin stayed close too, watching everything, thinking too much for a five-year-old.And across from me—Darius.He hadn’t moved much, but I could feel him.Not just him.His wolf.It was restless.Sharp.Watching.Waiting.Mine didn’t like it.Not one bit.“Enough for today,” I said finally, keeping my voice steady. “Mira needs rest. That’s the only thing that matters right now.”Mira sighed like she was already tired of hearing that.“I’ve been resting,” she muttered.“And you’re going to keep resting,” I replied.She made a face but didn’t argue again.Good.Because I wasn’t in the mood to debate that.Ivy glanced at me, and I caught it—that small look she gave when she was trying to stay strong for the kids.I stepped closer to

PERSONAL CONFRONTATION

DARIUS POVI stood there long after she walked away.The hallway felt empty, but it wasn’t.Lucian was still there.Of course he was.He didn’t move. Didn’t speak. Just stood like he belonged here.Like this was his ground.It wasn’t.I let out a slow breath, dragging a hand down my face before dropping it to my side.“Enjoying this?” I asked without looking at him.“Not really,” he replied.Calm.Always calm.It got on my nerves.I turned my head slightly, just enough to meet his eyes.“Doesn’t look like it.”“I don’t enjoy watching people fall apart,” he said.I almost laughed.“Then you must hate being around me.”His jaw shifted a little, but he didn’t take the bait.Smart.But I wasn’t in the mood to play games.“You think this is over?” I asked.“No,” he said.At least he was honest.“Good,” I muttered. “Because it’s not.”A quiet second passed.Then he spoke again.“You’re pushing too hard.”I scoffed.“And you’re not?”“No,” he said simply. “I’m not forcing anything.”I turne

PERSONAL CONFRONTATION 2

IVY POVThe moment he said it, everything inside me went still.You’re not leaving Ironhaven tomorrow.It wasn’t loud.It wasn’t shouted.But it carried weight.The kind that doesn’t need volume.I stared at him, trying to understand how someone could sound so calm while saying something so wrong.“You don’t get to decide that,” I said.My voice came out steady. I made sure of it.Mira shifted slightly beside me, her fingers brushing against my hand. I held onto her without thinking.Darius didn’t look away from me.“I’m not deciding for you,” he said. “I’m telling you what’s going to happen.”I almost laughed.“Those are the same thing.”Lucian stepped forward, just enough for me to feel his presence beside me.“They’re leaving,” he said. “That part isn’t up for discussion.”Darius finally glanced at him.Brief.Cold.Then back to me.“You think I’m doing this to control you?” he asked.“Yes,” I answered immediately.“Then you’re not paying attention.”I frowned.“Then explain it be

****

DARIUS POVI didn’t move after they said it.We’re leaving.Lucian’s voice still sat in my head, calm like he already believed it was done.Like I didn’t exist.Like I didn’t matter.The door closed behind them, and the room went quiet again, but the silence didn’t help. It made it worse.Because now I could think.And right now, thinking wasn’t helping me.I dragged a hand down my face and exhaled slowly.They were really going to try it.Walk out of my territory like nothing had changed.Like I hadn’t just found out the truth.Like those kids weren’t mine.My jaw tightened.No.That wasn’t happening.Not like this.Not without a fight.A knock came at the door, quick and controlled.“Enter,” I said.Kellan stepped in, shutting the door behind him. His eyes moved around the room once before settling on me.“They’re preparing to leave,” he said.Of course they were.I let out a short breath, almost a laugh.“They move fast.”Kellan didn’t react to that.“What are your orders?”Straigh

IVY POVI didn’t like how fast everything was moving.It felt rushed.Wrong.Like we were trying to leave before something caught up to us.“Arin, fold it properly,” I said, watching him struggle with his clothes.“I am folding it,” he muttered.“That’s not folding, that’s crumpling.”Mira, still sitting on the bed with pillows supporting her side, let out a small laugh.“He’s trying,” she said.“I can see that,” I replied, softer this time.Lucian stood near the door, arms crossed, watching everything. He hadn’t said much in the last few minutes, but I could feel it—his focus, his awareness.He wasn’t relaxed.Not even close.“You don’t have to rush,” Mira said quietly.I looked at her.“Yes, we do.”Her brows pulled together slightly.“Why?”I hesitated.Because I didn’t want to say it.Because saying it would make it real.“Because this place isn’t safe anymore,” I said finally.Arin paused what he was doing.“That Alpha guy again?”I didn’t answer directly.But I didn’t need to.

*****

DARIUS POV I let them walk out of that room. Not because I wanted to. Because I had to. There’s a difference. The moment the door closed behind me, I stood there for a second, just staring at nothing. My jaw was tight, my hands clenched, and my wolf wouldn’t shut up. They’re leaving. “I know,” I muttered under my breath. And I wasn’t letting that happen. I started walking. Fast. By the time I got outside, Kellan was already there like he’d been waiting. “What happened?” he asked. “They’re still planning to leave.” He let out a breath through his nose, nodding like he expected that. “Of course they are.” I looked at him. “Status.” “Border’s locked down,” he said immediately. “Men in position. No one gets in or out without your say.” “Good.” “But—” he added, watching me carefully, “—if this turns into what I think it might…” “A war?” I finished. He didn’t answer. He didn’t need to. I dragged a hand down my face. “I told you already,” I said. “I’m not rushing int

***

IVY POVThe knock came just as I finished tying the last strap on my bag.Firm.Controlled.I didn’t need to ask who it was.My chest tightened anyway.Lucian looked at me from across the room. He didn’t say anything at first, just watched my face like he was reading everything I wasn’t saying.“He won’t stop,” I said quietly.“I know.”Another knock.Same rhythm.Same patience.Lucian’s jaw ticked slightly.“You don’t have to open that door.”I exhaled slowly.“Yes, I do.”Because if I didn’t, this wouldn’t end.And I needed it to end.I walked toward the door, my steps steady even though my chest felt anything but. My hand paused on the handle for half a second, then I pulled it open.Darius stood there.Calm.Too calm.For a moment, neither of us spoke.Then his eyes moved past me, landing briefly on Lucian behind me before coming back to me.“We need to talk.”Lucian stepped forward immediately.“She doesn’t—”“I wasn’t talking to you.”His voice wasn’t loud.But it was sharp.Luc

LUCIAN

DARIUS POVThe door closed.Not slammed.Not dramatic.Just… closed.And somehow, that was worse.I stood there for a while, staring at the spot where she had been like something might change if I didn’t move. Like she’d open the door again and take it back.She didn’t.Of course she didn’t.My jaw tightened, and I let out a slow breath through my nose. My hands curled slightly at my sides before I forced them to relax.Control.That’s all this was now.Control.Because if I let even a fraction of what was actually going on inside me show, everything would fall apart.And I couldn’t afford that.Not now.Not when I was this close.A door opened behind me.I didn’t need to turn to know who it was.Lucian.“I was wondering how that went.”His voice was calm.Too calm.I turned slowly.He stood a few steps away, arms loose at his sides, but his posture was anything but relaxed. His eyes were locked on me, sharp and watchful.“She made her decision,” I said.“I know.”That irritated me m
