KAEL’S POV
She’s not back.
A growl slipped past my mouth for the umpteenth time as I threw my head back against the chair, waiting for the door to open at any second and for Carrius to walk in with her.
I stood up and started pacing, an uncomfortable, restless feeling pooling deep inside me. Something was wrong. Something new and deeply unpleasant.
It was just her. Ilyana. My mate. So why did I feel like this? Why was my entire body on edge at the thought of seeing her?
I hadn’t seen her since that night.
The Lycan and vampire attacks had not been limited to this pack alone but had spread across other wolf packs too, wreaking havoc everywhere. I had traveled to some of them myself, checking things firsthand, burying myself in work to figure it all out. I had only just returned tonight.
Every nerve in my body ached with exhaustion, but I needed to see her. I flicked the small box in my hand, my heart pounding at the sight of it. It was a simple piece I had seen in one of the packs—a ne

ILYANA’S POV
“What are you doing here?” I asked as I closed the door.
Lucienne scoffed, disbelief painted all over her face. “What am I doing here, you pathetic omega? Ask me that one more time. Oh, pray tell, ask what the lady of the house is doing in her own house?”
I clenched my jaw together, refusing to let her words get to me. I would have asked her if she was truly the lady of the house. But the image of them together flashed in my head. I was no fool to guess that she might be right or maybe he even wanted her.
She stalked towards me like a predator. “You think you can come in here and act like you own the place?”
I squeezed my eyes together. “I’m not—”
“Ohh, but you are!” she snapped, her eyes widening as she gestured wildly. 
“You came here… and all of a sudden, you’re acting like you’re untouchable! Going to places that were mine, making it look like Kael wants you or is in love with you.”
She stopped in front of me. “He can never love you. In fact, he’ll never accept that m

KAEL’S POV.“She’s lucky,” Atasha said as she inspected the wound, cleaning it and wrapping the last bandage around it.“Really?” Lucienne said, both of them looking at each other sourly, only for Atasha to turn to me, “The wound was not as deep as expected, but her body started healing the moment it entered her. All you have to do is change the wrapping every day, and she’ll heal in a week.”Lucienne sat up on the bed, pulling her hand away from Atasha and pushing her off as she looked at me. “But what if I couldn’t heal? What if I was an omega and I was stabbed too? Would you just call the doctor and have them treat me without punishing that girl?”“She stabbed me, Kael,” she said softly.My wolf growled inside me, irritated and restless. My thoughts were still tangled in how I had reacted with Ilyana. It was the fastest I had ever moved without there being an attack. The moment I saw the blood, every rational thought disappeared from my head and I just moved to her, hoping it wasn’

ILYANA’S POV“I don’t care that you're an omega, Ilyana. You’re my mate,” Kael muttered hoarsely. His hand was on my chin, drawing me in.“Really?” I whispered softly, heat spreading through every part of me.“Hmm hmm.” He hummed, leaning closer. His lips were barely an inch away from mine, and I briefly glanced at them, subconsciously licking my lips before flickering my gaze back to him.“Prove it then.”His eyes darkened, his voice raw and hungry with need, “Are you sure?”It was my turn to hum, daring him, “Prove that I’m your mate.”He closed the last gap, his lips meeting mine—A sharp knock split through it.The moment shattered like glass. I groaned, pushing my face deeper into the pillows, clinging to the fading warmth of the dream, hoping it would return. But another series of knocks followed, louder this time, dragging me fully awake.I huffed, sitting up on the bed before calling out, “Come in!”I was expecting either Misha or Tina to walk in, and every trace of sleep vani

KAEL’S POVTwo knocks rasped against the door before it opened, revealing Carius. “The vampire queen and the Lycan king just replied.”“Go on,” I said immediately.He sat across from me, picking up an apple. “She said she knows nothing about the attack and will look into it. According to her, none of her warriors would act without her permission. Once she finds the culprit, she’ll inform us.”“And the Lycan king?”“Same thing.” He bit into the apple. “He claims that there are rogue Lycans in his territory and suspects they might be responsible. He said he’ll send their heads the moment he finds them.”I dropped my pen, jaw tightening as anger surged through me. “They’re lying.”Carius stilled, his eyes narrowing. “Do you think it’s happening again? Is this the same thing—”“No,” I snapped.“But it’s the same, Kael. This is exactly how it started, and—”“Nope,” I bit out harshly. He sank back into his chair, taking another bite of his apple. I clenched my jaw, his words growing inside
