Alpha Liam

Alpha Liam's POVThe forest had never felt this endless.I had hunted through these woods since I was a child. Every trail, every stream, every clearing had once been as familiar to me as the walls of my own house. But today, everything looked different.Every shadow reminded me of Jane. Every broken branch made me wonder if she had passed that way.Every footprint I found sent my heart racing before disappointment followed moments later.I found nothing.I pushed another low-hanging branch aside and continued walking."Jane..." I muttered under my breath.She had left without telling me. Not because she trusted herself, but because she no longer trusted me enough to wait.That realization hurt more than I wanted to admit. The fact that Jane was wandering around without me beside her scared me more than anything. Caleb walked a few steps behind me, scanning the ground far more carefully than I was."Slow down," he called."If I slow down, I'll think.""And that's exactly what you nee

Alpha Liam

Alpha Liam's POVThe smell of smoke lingered in the air long after Caleb carried out my order.I didn't turn around. I didn't need to because there was nothing else to see. The crackling flames behind us were enough to remind me that mercy had long stopped being an option. Ronan and Mira had chosen their side the moment they helped tear my home apart. They had watched Jane suffer. They had stood beside Elder Thorne while he claimed my household as if it belonged to him.Their choices had consequences and with the way Mira spoke, she was already ready for it. So there was no need to show mercy anymore. "Let's keep moving," I said, forcing my attention back to the forest.Caleb nodded.We just wasted time on those worthless rogues. Every second wasted delayed my chances of finding Jane. Every second I spent dealing with enemies was another second she remained somewhere in these woods.The thought gnawed at me relentlessly.What if an enemy found her first? What if Theo found her firs

Alpha Liam

Alpha Liam's POV "Aria."Her name left my lips before I even realized I had spoken.I couldn't believe she was the one I was looking at. But she was the one. Even if it was dark, I would never fail to recognize the woman I grew up with.Aria didn't run. She didn't bare her fangs. She didn't even reach for a weapon.She just stood there with her shoulders slumped, looking nothing like the proud woman who had once declared herself the ruler of my household.The woman before me looked... empty.Her clothes were torn and stained with dirt. Leaves clung to her hair, and dark circles rested beneath her eyes as if sleep had abandoned her for days. For the first time in a long while, she looked powerless. She didn't look almighty and powerful like she usually pretended to be. "You can stop hiding,” I said loudly. A bitter smile touched her lips as she walked out of her hiding spot."I wasn't hiding,” she said, her voice barely audible. She had lost all the aura she usually had. I felt pi

Jane

Jane's POVFor the first time in what felt like forever, I slept without waking every few minutes in fear.When I opened my eyes, warm sunlight filtered through the window, bathing the room in a soft golden glow. And for a brief second I forgot everything that had happened over the past few weeks.Then reality returned like a rushing wind. Josephine's death. Liam's absence. The fake letter from Theo. Lauren and I in the woods. My sister, Alana… I slowly sat up, rubbing the sleep from my eyes.A gentle knock came from the door."Jane?"Alana's voice."I'm awake," I answered.The door opened, and my sister stepped inside carrying a tray of breakfast.Even after learning the truth three days ago, it still felt strange looking at her."Good morning," she said with a smile."Good morning."She placed the tray beside me."I thought you'd be hungry.""I am."Alana laughed softly.I began eating while she quietly watched me.It should have felt awkward for me but it felt natural as if we'd be

Jane

Jane's POVThe journey home felt different from the one that had brought us here.When Lauren and I had first entered these woods, every sound had made us nervous. Every snapping twig had seemed like the beginning of another attack. We had walked with uncertainty, following nothing but a mysterious map and the hope that it would lead us to one of the Books of Life.Instead, it had led me to my sister.Now, as we retraced our steps, I carried something far more valuable than hope inside my satchel.The fourth Book of Life or should I say the fifth one if Liam retrieved the one with the president. Every time I glanced at the leather bag hanging across my shoulder, I was reminded of the responsibility resting inside it.I wasn't running, I was going home.That thought alone made me smile.I smiled, not because home was peaceful. It was far from it because there were still enemies somewhere beyond these woods.Theo was alive. Mira and Ronan had escaped. I still didn't know whether Aria

Jane

Jane's POVThe footsteps were steady and confident as they got closer. Whoever was approaching wasn't trying to hide. The familiar feeling in my chest grew stronger with every passing second. I wasn't sure it was him but I had the feeling it was him. I didn't know if it was a normal connection or it was just something between us. As their footsteps got closer, the connection felt stronger. It felt like something magnetic was pulling me towards whoever was coming. Alana's expression became unreadable as her eyes scanned the forest. "Stay behind us," one of her guards ordered.I obeyed but my mind wasn't exactly with them. My mind was processing the scent that just hit my nostrils. First it was earth… then pine… then steel… then something else that was as familiar to me as my own heartbeat.My wolf stirred and my heart began racing simultaneously. No...Could he be the one?Was it possible for us to meet coincidentally? Or was it fate doing it work?Branches parted as the footste

Alpha Liam

Alpha Liam's POVThe moment I saw Jane, nothing else existed.Not the forest. Not the long days Caleb and I had spent searching every trail we could find. Not the exhaustion weighing down my body. Not the fear that had refused to leave me since I returned home and discovered she was gone.She was the only thing I could think about. For days, I'd imagined this moment a hundred different ways.Sometimes, I found her injured… Sometimes, I found only traces of her… Sometimes I never found her at all. Those thoughts had haunted every step I took through the forest.Then she called my name."Liam."I hadn't realized how much I needed to hear her voice until that single word reached me.Everything inside me broke loose.I didn't think too much. I didn't even hesitate. I just ran. When she threw herself into my arms, I held her with everything I had.I was terrified.I was terrified that if I loosened my grip even a little, she would disappear again.Her scent surrounded me instantly. She w

Alpha Liam

Alpha Liam's POVThe journey home felt lighter than the one that had brought Caleb and me into the forest. Not because the road had changed, but because Jane was beside me.Every now and then, I glanced down at our joined hands just to reassure myself that this wasn't another dream. She hadn't pulled away since I'd taken her hand, and I had no intention of letting go anytime soon.The others seemed to understand.Alana walked ahead with her guards, talking quietly among themselves. Caleb's crush stayed close to her, occasionally looking around with curiosity, while Caleb lingered behind us as if he deliberately gave us space.I appreciated it because there were too many things I needed to tell Jane… Too many things that had happened while we were apart.We walked in comfortable silence for a while, before I spoke. "I have something to tell you," I said at last.She looked up at me. "So do I."I smiled. "You first."“No,” she said, shaking her head. "You've been trying to tell me some

Jane

Jane's POVMy cheeks burned.I was certain everyone could see it.Liam had just compared our love to the sun, the moon, the stars, and every god in the universe, and somehow, despite everything we had survived together, I still didn't know how to respond whenever he looked at me like that.I lowered my head, trying to hide my smile."You really enjoy embarrassing me," I muttered.His fingers tightened around mine. "I wasn't trying to embarrass you."I looked up at him."I was telling the truth," he added. There was no teasing in his voice. No mischief, just sincerity. And that somehow made the confession even more overwhelming.I shook my head with a quiet laugh. "You've become unbelievably dramatic.""I learned from the best.""Who?""You.""Me?” I gasped dramatically."Yes. You.""I've never been dramatic," I countered teasingly. Caleb, who had somehow recovered from his own embarrassment after being teased about Lauren, scoffed loudly from behind us."Jane," he called, "I've watc

Jane

Jane's POVThe towering gates of Liam's household finally came into view.Home.After everything, I was finally home.I hadn't realized how much I'd missed this place.Not because it was grand. Not because it belonged to an Alpha. But because it held memories.Some were beautiful. Some were painful. But all of them were precious.Liam must have noticed the change in my expression because he squeezed my hand gently."We're home,” his voice was warm and filled with relief."We are," I said with a smile. The guards stationed at the gate immediately recognized Liam."Alpha!"They bowed deeply before opening the gates.The moment we stepped inside, several maidens hurried over.Some smiled through tears. Others bowed respectfully. Many looked surprised to see me return safely. Even more were stunned by Alana and her guards. Questions filled their faces, but no one dared ask.For the first time in what felt like forever, I allowed myself to breathe. Like I could really breathe because the
