Chapter 1

Aria's POVThey say freedom has a taste.Mine tasted like blood and ash.The iron gates of the werewolf prison shrieked open and I stumbled out in my ragged clothes, clutching my little pup in my arms, the only thing that mattered to me in this cruel world.The cold hit like claws raking across my back, right over the half-healed lash marks. My wolf whimpered somewhere deep inside me, weak and battered. She used to be my strength. Now, she was as broken as I was.I pulled Lana tighter against my chest, shielding her from the wind that howled like a mourning pack. She was the only warmth left in my world.When the wind finally eased, I pulled back a corner of the worn blanket. My heart softened instantly."Lana," I whispered, my voice barely audible. "My sweet little pup."She cooed softly, tiny lips puckering as her wide amber eyes blinked up at me, so innocent and pure. Her cheeks were soft and pink, a fragile bloom in a world that had gone gray.Her tiny mouth opened, letting out a

Chapter 2

Nathan's POVThe Bentley purred to a stop before the prison gates. I sat in the back seat, still as stone with my eyes closed as I listened to the rhythmic thump of my own heartbeat.When I finally opened my eyes, they locked on the weather-worn sign ahead: The Nightshade Institution for Women.I checked my watch. The seconds dragged. "Why isn't she out yet?" I muttered, my voice low and clipped."The release paperwork might be taking longer than expected, Alpha," my beta, Collins, replied quickly, his eyes fixed on the road. After a nervous pause, he added, "Don't worry, sir. It's Luna Aria's release day. She'll be… over the moon to see that you came to pick her up yourself."A humorless sound escaped me. "Is that so?"My wolf snarled beneath the surface, restless. She had betrayed us."She schemed with the Cowen's family," I said flatly, a flicker of frost in my gaze. "She sold my company's confidential files. She could've continued living comfortably as my wife and Luna, but no. Sh

Chapter 3

Nathan's POVI pushed open the bedroom door, and was hit by a cold wind which swirled wildly in the room. My wolf stirred uneasily beneath my skin, a low growl rumbling in my chest as I took in the empty room.My gaze was drawn to the source of the wind, the windows. They were wide open, curtains thrashing in the storm.I crossed the room in two strides and slammed the window shut, my claws threatening to break through as the frame rattled under my grip. The wind ceased instantly.My pulse thundered in my ears. Why does it feel like something's missing? I told myself I didn't care, that she meant nothing to me. She was just another traitor, one who'd sold me out and spat on the name of the Hemsworth family and Ironclaw pack.Still, I found myself staring at the bed. The deep gray sheets where she used to sleep. My hand rose to my temple, rubbing away the dull ache pulsing behind my eyes."She made her choice by staying away," I muttered under my breath, my voice low and rough. "If any

Chapter 4

Nathan's POVAria's scent still lingered in the air when my men returned to the bedroom. I stood by the window, staring out into the ink-black night, my wolf restless beneath my skin."Sir," one of the guards said, his tone cautious. "We've checked the entire villa, reviewed the cameras. No trace of Luna Aria. But we did find this."He handed me a tablet. A grainy clip flickered on the screen, movement near Aria's bedroom. It was a woman, one of the house keepers.I clenched my jaw as the guard continued, "We've detained the woman in the footage. Her name is Sandra Keith. Here's her background."The file slipped from his hand into mine. Sandra. The old maid who'd served this house for years. She was loyal, quiet and unassuming.Minutes later, I was standing in her quarters. The small room smelled of dust. She flinched when my men entered, twisting her arms behind her back."The footage shows you near Luna Aria's bedroom ten minutes before items went missing," one of the guards said, h

Chapter 5

Aria's POV"We're here at Shevron Estates, ma'am" the Uber driver said, his voice muffled under the low sound of the engine.The car rolled to a stop before the tall wrought-iron gates of a luxury community. I glanced out the window, my heart pounding.Little Lana stirred in my arms, letting out a soft whimper. Her tiny body wriggled against me, and I immediately knew something was wrong. One touch confirmed it—her diaper was soaked through."Oh, sweetheart…" I whispered, cradling her closer. The night air carried the chill of early frost, and the thought of her catching cold sent dread through me like claws scraping bone. I couldn't let her fall ill, not after everything we'd survived.My little one shifted again, pressing her warm cheek against my chest. I brushed her hair back gently, breathing in her faint, milky scent.We'd barely had anything left when I walked out of that prison. No diapers. Half a can of formula. The guards hadn't cared. The other inmates had sneered when I be

Chapter 6

Aria's POV"Stop right there! Who are you?"The security guard's sharp voice pierced through the fog in my head, yanking me back to reality. My wolf stirred uneasily under my skin, sensing tension before I even processed his words.I frowned, trying to keep my voice steady. "I was here this afternoon—I live in Building Three. Don't you remember?"He shifted from one foot to the other, avoiding my gaze."Yeah, I let you in myself," he said finally. "But we just got orders. Your apartment's been seized by your creditors. I can't let you in without their okay."For a heartbeat, I thought I'd misheard him. "What?" My voice came out thin, trembling. "That's my apartment. How can I not be allowed in?"My wolf bristled at the injustice, claws itching to surface. That house was mine. I'd paid for it in full. It had nothing to do with Nathan.The guard's eyes flicked to the bundle in my arms, my pub, Lana, and his tone turned cold. "Look, you've got a kid, so I won't make this harder than it n

Chapter 7

Nathan's POVBefore I could answer, Sophia's sharp and dismissive voice cut through,"You're Alpha Nathan's driver. Helping a street cleaner? That'd make him look ridiculous. Just go around her.""Sir," the driver tried again, his tone hesitant. "Perhaps we could wait just a moment. She'll be clear of the road in a minute. It's freezing… she's soaked through. And she's got a baby with her."My grip on the tablet tightened. I forced my breathing steady, swallowing the growl that threatened to rise."It's the rain's fault, really," Sophia said with a pout, glancing out the window as if bored. "She's the one choosing to sweep the street just after a heavy rainfall. It's not our fault, fate's just not on her side."Sophia turned toward me, softening her voice. "Alpha Nathan, it's not that I don't feel sorry for her, but…""Enough," I said quietly. "She's just a street cleaner. Drive."The temperature in the car dropped. Even my wolf stilled—watching, waiting.Sophia blinked, then smiled fa

Chapter 8

Aria's POVIt was one of the men that had been filming me. I glanced up briefly at him and noticed an expression of pity etched across his face. Seeing the scar on my face must have done that to him.His phone which he had been filming with was now lowered. "I… I'm sorry," he muttered, guilt staining his voice. "I was just chasing views…" He shifted awkwardly. "That car was out of line. I can report them if you want."I shook my head slowly, my voice raw. "Please," I whispered, pulling my scarf up again, "just delete the video."He blinked, his throat bobbing. "Yeah, yeah, I'm deleting it—look!" He turned the phone to show me the screen, fumbling nervously.I nodded faintly. "Thank you," I said, my words barely audible.My fingers trembled as I picked up the broom, the wooden handle slick beneath my palms. I forced myself to start sweeping again.Each push of the broom was a battle against exhaustion, against humiliation, against the ache that threatened to consume me whole.Once this

Chapter 9

Aria's POVIt was Kara Jones, my dorm mate. She rolled her cleaning cart inside, exhaustion softening her weathered face. Despite everything, she smiled when she saw us.She removed her vest and washed her hands before walking over. "Lana's such a good girl," she said warmly. "But are you sure it's okay bringing her out there? The cold's no joke."Kara meant well. She always did.I smiled faintly. "Lana's picky about who she's with. She won't let me out of her sight."Kara chuckled, shaking her head. "That's true. The second you're gone, she cries like the world's ending. I offered to watch her, but that baby's loyal."I held Lana closer, warmth blooming in my chest. "She's been with me since she was born. We've never been apart."Something softened in Kara's eyes. "You mentioned you were married. Where's the father, then? He's not helping you at all?"I froze. My wolf stilled too.Nathan.The silence stretched between us. My throat tightened."Does he… have someone else?" Kara asked

Chapter 10

Nathan's POVI sat in my corner office, scrawling my signature across one document after another. Deals, contracts, lies dressed up in legal ink.By the time I finished the last one, my wrist ached. I leaned back, shut my eyes and rubbed the bridge of my nose.Bernard stood a few feet away, his posture straight as always. "Alpha Nathan," he began, his tone respectful but cautious, "everything's set with the donation for the local sanitation workers."I opened one eye, watching him through the haze of exhaustion."The supplies should have arrived by now," he continued. "And as you asked, we've arranged a thousand-dollar monthly stipend, straight from your personal account for the one with a child. No end date on that."For a moment, my chest tightened. I do not know why I felt drawn to that woman. There was just something about her and her child that stirred a soft spot within me. I pictured her again in my mind from that morning, clutching that child like she'd die before letting go,
