Irene’s POVThis was the only Lycan pack in the entire realm.And honestly… after spending time here, I finally understood why the other shifters kept their distance.Lycans were different.Stronger.Bigger.More aggressive.Even the way they carried themselves felt intimidating.The rest of the continent feared them because of that strength, and over time, the Lycans learned to trust only their own kind in return.Worse, they never forgot the way other shifters looked at them.Feared them.Avoided them.So now, they looked down on everyone else just as easily.Especially werewolves.“I understand,” I said quietly, trying not to sound offended by Mira’s words. “But if you want someone to blame, it should not be me.”I kept my voice calm even though her attitude was starting to wear on me.“No matter what I think, Arnold is the one making these decisions.”The moment his name left my mouth, Mira’s expression changed.“Arnold?” she repeated with a scoff.My stomach tightened instantly.

Arnold’s Point of ViewThe first tear that slipped from Irene’s eye nearly shattered my control.For one terrifying second, I thought I had hurt her too much.I froze instantly, every instinct inside me sharpening at once as I searched her face for fear, regret… anything that would make me stop.But Irene did not push me away.She looked overwhelmed. Breathless. Like her body did not know what to do with everything she was feeling.I slowed immediately, forcing myself to be careful even though every part of me wanted to lose control with her.I watched as Irene seemed completely lost in the moment. Like the world she had known before this no longer fit around her the same way. Confusion flickered across her face, but it was not bad confusion.It was discovery.And I could tell she was trying to understand why her body reacted to me this way.Her trembling reached straight into my chest.I kept my pace slow, giving her time to adjust, refusing to rush her no matter how badly my wolf cl

Arnold’s POINT OF VIEW“It won’t be cold,” I reassured her softly.I kept my voice calm on purpose.Gentle.Steady.I stepped deeper into the water until it reached my waist, then turned back toward her. Moonlight reflected across the surface of the lake, silver ripples moving around me while the waterfall thundered softly behind us.Everything about this night felt unreal.Too quiet.Too perfect.“I’ll help you,” I murmured, holding my hand out toward her. “Come here.”Irene hesitated at the edge of the water.But she did not walk away.That mattered more than she realized.The forest around us had gone still, leaving only the sound of rushing water and the faint crackling of distant torches from the pack territory far behind us.For a moment, it felt like the world had narrowed down to only this place.Only her.I waited patiently.No pressure.No commands.Just waiting for her to decide.And the way she looked at me nearly unraveled my control.Her eyes searched mine carefully, alm

Arnold’s POINT OF VIEWBy the time Helter and the four warriors reached me, the fight was already finished.The smell of blood still clung to the air.Ten beasts lay dead around me, their bodies twisted across the ground. Mine would not hold much longer. Pain ripped through my muscles, and my beast finally gave out.I shifted back to human, breathing hard.“Dominic!” I snarled, my voice raw. “Catch him alive.”The order tore out of me like another wound.He had threatened Irene. Threatened me. After what he did to my father, death felt too merciful. I wanted him to suffer long enough to understand what he had taken from us.And the worst part?When Dominic accused me of killing my father… he was not completely wrong.The thought clawed at my chest even now.The warriors immediately took off after him, following his scent through the trees. They knew Dominic well. Once upon a time, he had stood beside my father as beta.I was about to shift again and join the hunt when Helter blocked m

The moment Ruby caught Eugene leading another woman through the pack house, something cold twisted painfully inside her stomach.The woman smelled wrong.Not unfamiliar.Dangerous.Lycan.Ruby recognized the scent immediately, and fear crawled up her spine before jealousy hit right after it.Why would Eugene bring a lycan here?And why did he look so comfortable beside her?“Who is she?” Ruby asked, her voice unsteady as she hurried toward them.Even walking felt harder lately. The pregnancy weighed on her body more every day, making her feel slower, heavier, weaker.Especially compared to the woman standing beside Eugene.She was beautiful.Sharp-eyed.Confident in a way Ruby no longer remembered how to be.Standing beside her made Ruby painfully aware of every change in her own body. The swelling in her stomach. The exhaustion in her face. The way Eugene barely looked at her these days unless it involved the baby.Sometimes it felt like that was the only reason he still tolerated he
