Amelia's POV. “I, Alpha Jace, rejects Amelia Storm as my mate…. and takes Lydia Karl” Something shattered inside me and nothing ever came back together. Did I just hear him right? Or was this a cruel joke? Everywhere fell into silence and suddenly, eyes turned to me before turning back to Jace in confusion. Jace stood up and Lydia followed his step, standing closely beside him. The sight made my stomach twist with force and I swallowed hard, hoping it would help me stay calm but it didn't. Nothing was working out for me. Jace's hand settled on her waist and that made my lips tremble. “She's my fated mate” Jace announced, the words landing like a blow. “The one who deserves to be Luna” That drained all the energy in me, my body wanting nothing other than to slump to the ground. Just like that, I became nothing. Not his wife, not his Luna, not his mate….. not the only one who had genuinely stood by his side for two years. In front of every pack member, he's showing me I

Amelia's POV. Someone's hand fisted in my hair and my head snapped to the back. Pain shot through my scalp and I gasped. “Please….. let me go” I pleaded, my voice filled with desperation. Tears blurred my vision, falling from the corner of my eyes. Why me? They dragged me back to where I was before I ran, my body scraping against the floor. “Where do you think you are going, pretty?” They asked. “Please…..” My voice cracked. “Just let me go” “Not so soon, pretty,” one of them said. “We promise we will let you go….” He paused. “After we are done with you” The way they looked at me with their eyes filled with lust made the realization hit me. I shook my head violently, my hand flying over to my stomach. “No…. Please just let me go” My baby….. they are going to hurt my baby. “What is a pretty girl like you doing in the woods, huh?” The man with the bottled water from earlier dropped down beside me, his hand caressing my face. My face twisted in disgust and my ey

AlphaZaydeen was moving He didn't know why. He had responded to border situations hundreds of times — rogues, lost travelers, the occasional wounded wolf from a neighboring territory. It was duty. Routine. He was Alpha of Blackridge and the safety of his borders was his responsibility.But something pulled at him differently tonight. Something beneath instinct, beneath duty — older and quieter than both.He reached the northern tree line in minutes.She was on the ground.Even collapsed in the mud and wet leaves, even pale and still and completely unguarded, there was something about her that struck him immediately. The dark hair splayed around her like ink. The fierce furrow between her brows even in unconsciousness — as though some part of her was still fighting even when her body had finally given out. One hand was pressed flat against her stomach in a gesture so instinctive, so fiercely protective, that something in Zaydeen's chest pulled tight."Don't just stand there," he said

I hadn't meant to stay.That's what I kept telling myself in those first raw, scraping days — that this was temporary, that I was simply passing through, that the Black Thorn pack and its careful silences and its too-observant Alpha were nothing more than a waystation between the life I was running from and whatever hollow thing came after. I had packed nothing when I fled because I owned nothing worth carrying. I left in the dark, in the rain, mud on my bare feet and a sound in my throat that never quite became a scream.I needed no roots.Roots, I had learned, only made it easier for someone to find you. They held you in place when you needed to run. Roots were for people who believed the ground beneath them was safe, and I had stopped believing that a long time ago — so long ago that I could no longer remember what safety had felt like in my body, only that it had existed once, dimly, like a word in a language I used to speak.But days passed. One, then three, then seven. Then more

The silence that followed had weight — the kind that presses down on everyone standing inside it and makes the air feel thicker than it should. No one in the yard moved. Even the wind seemed to pause, holding itself in the high branches of the surrounding trees, waiting.Zaydeen broke it without drama. He moved to stand slightly apart from both of us, equidistant, and when he spoke he addressed only me, as though Jace had momentarily ceased to exist in any way that mattered."You don't have to answer to anyone in this yard. Not to him. Not to me. Not to any title or obligation placed on you without your full and honest consent." He paused. "You have sheltered under Blackthorn protection, and that protection does not come with conditions. If you choose to leave with him today, I will ensure you leave safely. If you choose to remain, you remain as your own person, under your own authority, for as long as you need."He stepped back and said nothing more.It was the most power anyone had
