Chapter Twenty One - She's Not A Property

Torin's POV The air in the hall did not ease even after the agreement was reached, and though the tension had shifted from confrontation into something quieter, something controlled, it remained present in every glance, in every breath, in the way no one moved too quickly as if the slightest misstep could still undo everything that had just been settled.I remained seated for a moment longer after Nia walked away, my gaze lingering briefly on her retreating figure before I forced myself to look away, because there were still formalities to complete, and I would not allow distraction to show where it could be used against me.Darren stood across from me, his posture relaxed in a way that felt deliberate, his presence steady despite everything that had happened, while Darien remained just slightly behind him, his head tilted in quiet observation as though he was measuring every detail of the room, every shift in expression, every unspoken exchange.I pushed myself to stand.The moment

Chapter Twenty Two - Liora

Darren's POV The moment we crossed the border, I felt the shift settle into my bones in a way that no words could properly describe, because there are places that recognize you even when you have been away for too long, places that hold your scent, your presence, your authority, and as my feet carried me forward onto familiar ground, I inhaled deeply without meaning to, my chest expanding as though it had been waiting for this moment longer than I had allowed myself to admit.Darien walked beside me in silence for a while, his steps matching mine with an ease that spoke of habit rather than effort, though I could feel his gaze more than once, lingering, studying, measuring, as though he was waiting for something, some explanation that I had not yet given.OkAnd when he finally did, his voice carried that same edge I remembered, though there was something beneath it now, something closer to disbelief than irritation.“How is she alive?” he asked.I did not look at him immediately.Ins

Chapter Twenty Three - He Will Be Okay

Nia's POV The moment his body gave out, something inside me tightened in a way I did not allow to show, because there are moments when panic would only make things worse, and this was one of them, and as his weight dropped, as his balance failed him completely, I moved without thinking, my hand reaching out instinctively even though I knew I would not be able to fully hold him on my own.“Torin,” I called, my voice sharper than I intended, my brows pulling together as I stepped closer, my fingers brushing against his arm just as his body gave in completely.Narek was faster.He caught him before he hit the ground fully, his grip firm as he lowered him carefully, though there was nothing careful about the tension in his expression, the tightness in his jaw, the way his eyes flickered quickly over Torin’s face as if searching for something that would reassure him.“Alpha,” Narek said, his voice strained despite the control he tried to maintain.I dropped to my knees beside them, my hand

Chapter Twenty Four - Daddy, You're Awake?

Torin's POV Waking did not come easily, and for a moment I remained caught between awareness and something heavier, something that held me down just enough to make movement feel distant, though the first thing I noticed was not the pain, not the weakness in my limbs, but the quiet in the room, a kind of quiet that only settles when danger has passed but the memory of it still lingers.My chest felt tight, not as sharp as before, but present enough to remind me that whatever had taken hold of me had not simply disappeared, and as I drew in a slow breath, I felt the slight resistance, the faint discomfort that came with it, though it was manageable now, controlled.Then I became aware of something else.My gaze shifted slowly, my vision adjusting as I turned my head just enough to see them, and the sight held me still for a moment longer than I expected.Nia.Asleep.Her posture slightly slouched where she sat, her head tilted just enough to suggest that she had not intended to rest bu

Chapter Twenty Five - You Went Too Far

Darren's POV The moment I stepped into my office, I expected quiet, or at the very least the kind of order that usually followed after a long absence, yet what I met instead was something far more familiar, something that made me pause for just a second before I allowed myself to move fully into the room.Liora was already there.She did not stand to greet me.She did not bow like the others had not like I expected that.Instead, she sat comfortably on the edge of my desk, her posture relaxed, her eyes watching me with that same boldness she had always carried, and before I could say a word, she slid down from the desk and closed the distance between us as though it was the most natural thing in the world.“Alpha,” she said softly.I barely had time to respond before she moved closer, her hands resting lightly against my shoulders as she guided me back toward the chair, her movements confident, unhesitating, as though she had done this a hundred times before.I allowed it.Not becaus

Chapter Twenty Six - The Scream!!!

Nia's POV By the time I returned to my quarters, the weight of the day had not settled, it only shifted into something quieter, something that sat at the edge of my thoughts, waiting, watching, refusing to be ignored, and I knew better than to pretend everything was fine when too many things had begun to move at once.Kiera was already there.She stood near the window when I entered, her posture straight, her arms folded lightly as she watched the children from a distance, her expression calm but attentive in the way only someone trained for protection could be.She turned the moment she sensed me.“My lady,” she said, inclining her head slightly.I nodded once, stepping further into the room, my gaze moving instinctively to the children, taking in their positions, their movements, their energy, making sure they were all accounted for before allowing myself to fully engage in anything else.Vincenzo sat on the floor with pieces of wood scattered around him, his fingers working carefu

Chapter Twenty Seven - Disgusting

Darren's POV The day had already stretched itself thin by the time I decided I had enough of waiting.Reports kept coming the same way they always did now.Through guards.Through messengers.Through half spoken updates that said nothing and everything at the same time.Darien had refused to come personally again.That alone would have been enough to irritate me, but what made it worse was the consistency of it, the way he had slowly turned distance into habit, as though avoiding me had become part of his daily discipline.I stood by the window of my office for a while, watching the courtyard below as soldiers moved through their drills, their formations shifting under command, the sound of boots hitting stone in steady rhythm that normally would have grounded me.But not today.Today it only reminded me of how fragmented everything had become.I exhaled slowly.“Enough,” I muttered to myself.I left the office.The air outside was colder than expected, or perhaps I simply noticed it

Chapter Twenty Eight - I Thought I Lost Them

Torin's POV I was still seated behind my desk when Narek walked in, and the look on his face told me before he even opened his mouth that whatever he had come with was not something small, because his jaw was tight and his shoulders carried a kind of tension that only came when something had already slipped past our control.“Alpha,” he said, bowing slightly, though his voice carried urgency beneath the respect.I leaned back slightly in my chair, my fingers resting against the armrest as I watched him closely, noting the way his chest rose a little faster than usual, the way his eyes flickered as though sorting through too many thoughts at once.“What is it?” I asked.He stepped forward, lowering his voice slightly even though we were alone, as though the walls themselves could not be trusted with what he was about to say.“We have discovered infiltration within our ranks,” he said.My expression did not change, but something in my chest tightened.“Infiltration?” I repeated, my voi

Chapter Twenty Nine - Poisoned!!

Torin's POV I did not realize when night fully gave way to morning.At some point between the quiet breathing of the children and the weight of everything that had happened settling into something manageable, the darkness softened, and the first hint of light slipped through the curtains, touching the room in a way that felt distant, almost unreal compared to everything that had taken place hours before.Nia had not moved.Her head still rested against my shoulder, her body leaning into mine with a trust that was not spoken, something that came from exhaustion more than anything else, yet it carried weight all the same.My shoulder had gone numb at some point during the night.Then I got sore.Then stiff.I had ignored it for as long as I could, not wanting to disturb her when I knew how much it had taken for her to finally let go of control and sleep, even if only for a few hours.But morning had come.And my body reminded me that I was not untouched by everything that had been happ

Chapter Thirty - Raphael

Torin's POV By the time I stepped into the main hall, the weight of the situation pressed against me in a way that was impossible to ignore, because the scent of blood mixed with something bitter lingered heavily in the air, and the low sounds of coughing and strained breathing echoed through the space like a constant reminder that something had gone terribly wrong within my pack. They had gathered them all in one place. Far too many. Men and women who should have been on their feet, standing guard, training, or carrying out their duties were instead slumped against pillars or laid across makeshift bedding, their bodies weakened, their expressions strained as the physicians moved between them with hurried steps and focused hands. The moment I stepped further into the hall, their attention shifted. Heads turned. Eyes found me.
