SEVENThe first thing I learned that morning was that my wolf did not like being ignored. Ever since I had heard that deep voice inside my head telling me to protect Mikka, it had been pushing against me whenever I tried to pretend nothing had changed. Sometimes I could feel it like a second heartbeat beneath my own, calm one moment and wild the next, and every time I thought about Mikka, it became stronger. I was beginning to understand why my mother had looked so worried when she heard it speak.She took me far from the house before training started. We drove through a narrow road surrounded by thick trees until we reached an old wooden cabin hidden behind them, and there was no sign of another house anywhere nearby. She explained that my father had gotten the place years ago and which he used to drove down to whenever he needed some peace and quiet. I stared at the cabin, then at her, suddenly wondering why my mother needed a place like that for me. She only gave me a serious look.

SEVENI became restless after Mikka showed me the messages. The words kept playing inside my head, especially the last one, the one that had turned every strange feeling I had about Levi into something much darker. I had spent the last few months believing Levi was nothing more than a man who disliked me and hated seeing Mikka close to me, but now I knew he had been asking about my family for a reason. I needed answers, and I knew waiting for them would only make things worse, so before sunrise, I left the house and went looking for him.I found Levi away from the main hockey facilities, standing beside his car in an empty parking area behind the old training building. The place was quiet, with only the sound of the wind moving through the trees and the distant noise of cars on the road. Levi looked surprised when he saw me walking toward him, but he quickly covered it with a small smile that made my blood boil.“I see your wife had you informed,” he said, giving me a smug smile.I st

SEVENI took the phone from Mom with shaking hands, unable to pull my eyes away from the photograph. I stared at the man standing inside that old stone room until my eyes began to hurt, but I still could not look away because some part of me was afraid that if I blinked, he would disappear again. There was no doubt in my mind anymore, even though his face had changed with age and his hair was longer than I remembered from the old photographs. It was my father, and for the first time in years, I was looking at proof that he had been alive somewhere while I had been growing up believing I had lost him forever.I zoomed in on the photograph, studying every small detail around him. The room had thick gray stone walls, narrow windows, and old wooden beams running across the ceiling, but something carved into one of the pillars caught my attention. It was a strange symbol made of three curved lines joined together in the middle, and the moment I saw it, a memory from my childhood came rushi

CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHTSEVENMy mother's last words seemed to hang in the room, but she still had not said the name. She stood in front of me with tears in her eyes, looking like she was trying to find one last reason to keep the truth buried, but I was done waiting. Too many pieces of my life had been hidden from me already, and every new truth only showed me how much I had been kept in the dark. My father was alive, someone had taken him, and now I was standing in front of the person who might know who was responsible.“Tell me who it was.”She closed her eyes for a moment, then let out a heavy, defeated sigh.“He was part of your father's old pack. Someone your father trusted.”I stepped closer.“Did he betray him?”She looked at me, and the sadness in her eyes made my chest tighten.“I don't know for certain.”“But you suspect that he did.”“Yes.”The word hit me harder than I expected. I had spent my whole life believing my father's enemies came from somewhere outside our family, s

SEVENThe moment the Alpha said he had been waiting for Mikka, something inside me snapped. I stepped forward before I could think, my body moving on instinct while the wolf inside me pushed hard against my control. The anger that filled my chest was so strong that I could hear my own heartbeat pounding in my ears, but I forced myself to stay in control because I refused to give this man the satisfaction of watching me lose myself. He had come to my home, threatened my family, spoken about Mikka as if she were part of some plan he had created years ago.“What do you want from her?”The Alpha's mouth curved into a small smile.“Your temper is exactly what I expected from your father's son.”“Don't talk about my father like you knew him.”“I knew him very well, Seven,” he replied. “Way more than you think.”“Then tell me what happened to him.”The smile slowly disappeared from the Alpha's face, and for the first time, I saw something serious in his eyes. He looked at me for several seco
