The man she loved was finally coming home.So why did it feel like her heart was warning her instead of celebrating?Azerbel stood at the entrance of the Hellfire Pack, pressing her trembling hands together as she tried to steady her breathing.Beside her stood Luna Lorraine.On Lorraine's other side was Alpha Dave.Behind them, families filled the open space, all waiting for the same miracle.No one spoke loudly.No children ran around.No one dared laugh.The air felt too heavy for that.It was filled with hope...and fear no one wanted to say out loud.Everyone here had spent months wondering if the people they loved would ever come home.Today, they would finally get their answer."I see them!"Luna Lorraine gasped.Her fingers wrapped tightly around Azerbel's hand.Azerbel looked at her.Tears were already shining in Lorraine's eyes.Relief.Pure and overwhelming.And somehow, seeing her cry made Azerbel's own eyes sting.Her vision blurred.Her heart began pounding so hard it al

Azerbel had imagined this moment a thousand times.But never like this.Never with Guerero sitting beside another woman.Never with him unable to look her in the eyes.And never...with him choosing someone else."This is Ruby," Guerero said.His voice was low.Heavy."The woman I mentioned in my letter."Azerbel's chest tightened.What letter?Her mind searched desperately.Every letter he had ever sent.Every word.Every promise.But she couldn't remember a single mention of Ruby.Not one.Guerero swallowed hard.Then he forced himself to continue."I..."He paused.His hands tightened together.As if the words themselves hurt."I will take her as my chosen mate."Everything stopped.The room.The air.Azerbel's heartbeat.For a second, she forgot how to breathe.Chosen mate?The words hit her like a blow.Sharp.Crushing.Pain exploded in her chest.The world around her faded.The room disappeared.The people.The voices.Gone.There was only Guerero.And the impossible thing he ha

Azerbel’s Point of ViewSkylar's words helped.Just a little.It felt...comforting.To know someone understood.She gave me a soft smile.Relieved."I've been telling her the same thing, Luna Lorraine," she said lightly.But I heard it.The sadness hidden beneath her voice.I lowered my gaze.I couldn't refuse.Not Luna Lorraine.Never her.She had always been kind.Warm.Patient.Like a real mother.The mother I never had."Look at this," Luna Lorraine said gently.She lifted the dress."It's perfect for you, Azerbel."Her eyes shone with pride."It's even the same color as your name," she added with a smile. "I chose it just for you."My chest tightened.The dress was beautiful.Soft.Elegant.But it wasn't the dress that hurt.It was her.Her kindness.Her love.For a moment...an old dream came back to me.Simple.Quiet.A life with Guerero.A family.Luna Lorraine as my real mother.A place where I finally belonged.But that dream...was gone.Shattered.Destroyed along with eve

Azerbel’s Point of View"I will speak with her first."Genaro's voice was calm.But firm."You can speak to her another time."I froze.The way he said it...it sounded too natural.Too certain.Like he had the right.But he didn't.We just met.Guerero's jaw tightened.Hard.His eyes darkened as they locked on Genaro.The air between them turned sharp."Alpha Genaro," Guerero said.His voice was controlled.But I heard it.The anger beneath it."What do you want with my mate?"My chest dropped.Mate.He still called me that.After everything.The bond between us stirred again.Painful.Heavy.Pulling at me like it had never broken.I hated it.Genaro didn't answer right away.Instead, he looked at me.Slowly.Carefully.Like I was the only thing that mattered in that moment.His hand stayed around my wrist.Warm.Steady.Unmoving.I tried to pull away.But stopped.I didn't even know why.Maybe because Guerero was watching.Because I could feel his anger.His jealousy.And for one br

Azerbel’s Point of ViewI couldn't move.Not after what I had just done.My eyes stayed on him.On the blood.On his face.On his shirt.It was real.Too real.I bit my lip.My chest rose too fast as I watched the wounds close.Slowly.Then completely.Like they had never been there.But the blood remained.And so did the truth.I hurt him.My fingers trembled.The tips of my nails were still stained red.Anyone could see it.Anyone could say I attacked him.And if that happened...everything would fall apart.This party.The treaty.The fragile peace everyone was trying so hard to protect.It would all break.Because of me.My breathing grew uneven.Too fast.Too shallow.The thought alone made my stomach twist.What if this led to another war?What if more people died...because of what I just did?"Azerbel?"Genaro's voice cut through my thoughts.Closer now."Are you okay?"I didn't answer.I couldn't.My vision blurred.Tears filled my eyes.Then they fell.One after another.I d
