Elena’s povAnd there it was, the one thing that had been hovering between us for the past few days. It was now out in the open, and he had said what he was feeling.Suddenly, the noise of the crowd around us faded away, as it was just the two of us. Me holding the teddy bear tight so I wouldn't let it go, and him standing before me, clenching his fists as he stared at me.“I didn't mean it like that,” he sighed but I shook my head, looking to the ground and holding back the tears that were fighting to come out.“It's fine,” I sniffed. “I'm the one who has been holding on to the past for a very long time. But you're right. What I did was unforgivable, and no matter how much I try to piece the pieces together, it just won't fit. Some pieces are lost in the wind, and I can't make up for what I did.”“Elena…”I shook my head, holding my free hand up to stop him. Then I looked up at his face. It was blurry. My tears had covered my line of sight.“Let's just pick up Eli and go home. I thin

Lucien’s povI felt a heavy anger roll up within me as I clenched my fists to keep myself from punching through the man.“Do you know where she was taken to?”“No,” he shook his head. “None of us guards know. It was a new set of guards who came up and took over the whole operation.”“So did they take only her or were there other prisoners taken with her?”“It was just her.”I scoffed. “Of course it was.”I then looked around the building, then waved to them.“As you were.”Then I walked back to the main pack.The moment I got there, Gideon rushed up to me. “Uh-oh, I know that look on your face. What happened this time?”I turned to him. “Did you know?”“Did I know what?”“Did you know that my father moved Mary to another location?”He grabbed my arm, then took me to a secluded place where no one would eavesdrop on us. Then he looked around before turning to me.“Are you trying to have us killed?”“What are you talking about? Mary is my mother.”“She is your stepmother,” he corrected.

Lucien’s povMy heart nearly stopped.“What makes you ask that?”She studied my face carefully, searching for something. But when she couldn’t find anything, she gave a shrug. “Just a feeling,” she said slowly. “A woman’s intuition, maybe.”Her intuition was dangerous. I needed to clip it before it would get into something worse.Before I could respond, a sharp knock echoed from the study window nearby. My father’s guard stood there with an urgent look on his face.“Alpha Lucien,” he said, bowing quickly. “Your father needs you. Now.”“What’s going on?”He hesitated, glancing at Celeste before lowering his voice. “It’s about the human settlement, sir. Something’s happened.”My blood ran cold.Elena.I looked back at her with a fake smile. “I’ll be back. I need to talk to my father.”She gave a short nod. “Of course. I’ll be with my parents.”I turned to the guard and followed him into the dining room and out into the hall.“Where is he?” My voice came out in a coarse way while we navi

Elena’s povThe house had finally gone quiet after I got Eli to bed. He had spent the whole evening running around with his new teddy bear, talking nonstop about the funfair and telling me every little detail as if I hadn’t been there with him.I was so glad when he drifted off.I stood over him as he slept in his bed still clutching his teddy bear as if his life depended on it. I could only smile at him.Giving the room one last look around to make sure everything was in order, I walked out of the room then headed downstairs to the kitchen to make myself a warm cup of tea.It had been at least a few hours since I last set my eyes on Lucien and somehow I was missing his presence.Yes, he was cruel but that was only because he was lashing out at me for what I did to him. Plus he had been kind to Eli and me. That wasn’t him being cruel. That was different.I made my cup and headed for the exit when I heard the sound of a car pull into the driveway.Speak of the devil. It was him!How di

Celeste’s povI looked at the phone in my hand for a couple of seconds before dropping it face down on my table.I heard rustling behind me as I turned to see my trusted maid that I had taken from my pack, folding my clothes into the wardrobe.“I need some advice,” I said to her, slowly getting to my feet, as she smiled, then gave a little bow.“Whatever my lady wants.”“Oh, please, Serene, drop the act. I clearly know you better than that. You can stop acting like you're my maid and bring up the bitch attitude because I know that my best friend is somewhere in there.”She chuckled, then looked at the door before looking at me. “All right, what do you want?” She said, clapping her hands together, as I started to pace around the room, one hand on the side of my cheek, while I thought deeply about my relationship with Lucien.“I feel like he's keeping things from me. The question is, what is he keeping from me?”She shrugged. “Why don't you just ask him?”I looked up at her with a stern
