TamaraI lightly pushed Lucia away from me, keeping a distance as I reached out and held her shoulder. "Lucia, I am not the Luna here. Have you forgotten that I rejected the mating bond?"Lucia smiled softly and shook her head. "I know you rejected it, Tamara, but I do not think you truly understand what your presence and departure did to this pack. You do not know how much the pack members respected you for walking away, standing up for yourself, and refusing to accept something that would have destroyed your peace. The remorse everyone felt after you left reached every corner of Nightsword, and your departure touched people in ways you may never understand."I looked down at the stone floor. "It was just guilt.""Yes, it was guilt," Lucia agreed gently, "but it was something much more than that. You showed a pack that had always valued strength and dominance that compassion and love could still thrive, even in the middle of chaos."I swallowed, feeling the familiar discomfort return

TamaraKain let out a low growl and stepped forward. "Mind your words,Victor. Watch how you speak to her."The senior warrior growled back, refusing to back down. "It is only right that she is not here! She is the very reason we are in this situation in the first place. If she hadn't behaved like a whiny little child and actually taken the title she was so desperate for—"A furious growl ripped from my throat at the same moment Raven let out a vicious snarl, looking like he was about to launch himself across the table at the warrior.I held out a hand to stop Raven, refusing to let my anger completely blind me. Instead, I straightened my posture and walked slowly toward the warrior, my eyes locked on his."In case you have conveniently forgotten," I said, my voice cutting through the heavy tension in the room, "I came from a different pack and won the Luna title fair and square. And I was the one who rejected it, not because I was weak, but because I was strong enough to walk away fr

Tamara My instincts screamed at me to step back, and my feet were already trying to create some distance between us, but before I could even take a breath, his hand shot out and grabbed my wrist, pulling me against his chest as a deep, rough growl came from his throat."Mate... mine..." he rumbled, the golden fire in his eyes filled with a desperate need that made my heart race.My heart hammered against my ribs as terrifying memories of the last time he had cornered me flooded my mind, and although one part of me wanted to pull away and run for the door, another part froze because I could feel how dangerous his wolf was right now.Before I could decide what to do, the door flew open with a loud crash, and Kain and Raven rushed into the room.The moment North noticed them, he reacted with shocking speed, pulling me behind his broad body as he stepped in front of me and bared his teeth.A deep growl shook the room.Kain immediately stopped and raised both hands."It's okay, North! We

TamaraI let out a tired sigh, my shoulders dropping as I looked down at him. "It's not that simple, North, and you know it. I don't think I want to talk about this right now. The most important thing is that you're finally awake and getting better."I finished packing the last few items into my box. I closed the box, picked up the handles, and turned toward the doorway, but before I could take another step, his voice stopped me."Will you... will you leave here soon?"I froze, my fingers tightening around the handles.I didn't turn back to look at him, but I kept my eyes cast downward, trying to ignore the ache that settled in my chest. "I don't know."There was silence behind me, and I could feel his eyes following me even without looking at him.I took a steady breath before finally glancing back over my shoulder. North was still sitting against the pillows, watching me with an expression I could not quite understand."I'll come back later to check on you," I told him gently befor

Tamara "How do you know she's even here, Raven?" I asked, watching the panic in his eyes as he struggled to catch his breath.Raven paced across the floor, running a hand through his hair. "The last time we came here with dad, I thought I was losing my mind, Tammy. I could smell the sweetest scent in the air, but she never showed up. I kept wondering if she just didn't want me, so I forced myself to let it go and convinced myself I was imagining things."He stopped pacing and looked at us, desperation clear in his eyes. "But when we came back this time, the scent hit me all over again. I've been catching it everywhere, but for some reason, she hasn't come around. Is it possible she can't scent me? Can she really not tell that I'm right here? I feel like I'm losing my mind.""Raven, calm down," I urged, stepping closer to him."I can't calm down!" he snapped, his voice rising. "What are the chances that my mate is somewhere around here and is actively running from me? Why won't she ju
