Mira POVThe next morning felt heavy in my chest, like the weight of everything from the pack still sat right on top of me. I sat on the edge of Klaus’s bed with Chloe and Tina beside me, both of them listening quietly while I held my phone to my ear. My hand shook a little as I spoke to the old healer.“Are you sure he is okay?” I asked, my voice soft and tired. “Please tell me the truth.”The healer’s calm voice came through the line. “He is stable, child. Still sleeping deeply, but his body is healing. I will watch over him closely.”“Thank you very much,” I whispered before hanging up. I let the phone drop to my lap and stared at the floor for a second.Chloe practically bounced on the bed. "Well? Is he okay?"I nodded. "Yes. He's okay. He's still sleeping, though."Both girls let out huge sighs of relief."Oh, thank God," Tina said, placing a hand over her chest.Chloe nodded so hard her curls bounced. "I was so worried."I smiled weakly. I hadn't realized how much my friends car

Bella POVKevin sat comfortably on my bed like he owned the place.One leg was crossed over the other, and he lazily chewed his gum while looking around my room.I, on the other hand, was ready to explode.I had been pacing back and forth for almost five minutes.I couldn't believe this man had the nerve to come here.I stopped walking and pointed a finger at him."How dare you come to my house, you bastard?"He raised an eyebrow."After everything that happened between us, you still have the guts to show your face in my family's home? Are you insane?"He rolled his eyes."Calm down.""Don't tell me to calm down!"I was practically shaking with anger.He sighed dramatically."I didn't exactly have a choice. I wanted to see you."I laughed bitterly."Oh, how sweet.""I'm serious."I folded my arms."Then explain."He shrugged."I went to your dorm this morning."I frowned."You what?""Your roommate said she didn't know where you were. Your phone wasn't going through either. So I did a

Mira POV I couldn't stop staring at the stone.It sat in my palm, cold and heavy, its strange symbols catching the sunlight coming through Klaus's living room window. The markings looked like scratches at first glance, but the longer I looked at them, the more they seemed to move.Or maybe I was just tired.Honestly, after everything that had happened in the last twenty-four hours, I was surprised I could still tell my left from my right.Sky stirred inside me.I don't like that thing."I don't like it either," I muttered."What don't you like?"I looked up.Klaus was sitting beside me on the couch, one arm around my waist and the other playing with my fingers. The man had apparently decided that if I was breathing, then he needed to be touching me somehow.I wasn't complaining.His warmth felt nice.Safe.I looked down at the stone again."This."Klaus frowned."The rock?""It's not a rock.""It kind of looks like a rock."I glared at him.He smiled."Sorry. Mysterious magic rock."

Mira POV The air inside the rundown shrine felt completely different the moment we stepped through the broken doorway. Sunlight from outside barely reached in here, leaving most of the space in shadows. The place was much colder than it should have been for a warm day, and the smell of damp stone and old rotting wood filled my nose. I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to shake off the chill that had nothing to do with the temperature."Okay... this place is creepy," Chloe whispered."I hate it already," Ugo muttered. "I'm getting haunted-house vibes.""You watch too many horror movies," Aaron said."No, I watch the right amount."Nobody laughed.I stopped walking when I saw one symbol up close.My stomach dropped.It was the same mark I had seen before—in the classroom, on the strange cuff, and on the pendant.And now they were here.Everything was connected.I just didn't know how."What is it?" Klaus asked softly beside me.I looked at him.He had noticed my expression."Nothi

Kevin's POVThe ride to Alpha Dean's estate took a little over an hour, and I spent every minute enjoying myself.Not because I liked the drive.Because I liked what was waiting for me at the end of it.Some people thought revenge was loud. They imagined screaming, fighting, and blood on the floor. Those people had no imagination.Real revenge was quiet.It smiled.It shook hands.It asked about your family before it slowly pulled the ground out from under your feet.I looked out the car window as the huge gates of the Mooncrest Pack estate came into view. Even after all these years, the place was just as impressive as I remembered. The walls were high, the gardens were perfectly trimmed, and expensive cars filled the driveway.Alpha Dean always did enjoy showing people how rich he was.The guards stopped me at the gate.One of them recognized me almost immediately."Kevin Cornell?"I smiled politely."It's been a while."His face softened."Yes, sir. I'll let Alpha Dean know you're h
