~ 101 ~~ Darian ~My beta, Kade, had tried to talk to me earlier that day."Alpha, you need to eat something," Kade had urged, holding a stack of papers. "And you need rest. The council is worried about your health.""I am fine, Kade," I had snapped, not even looking up from my desk. "Just leave the reports and get out.""Sir, the council insists…""I said get out!" I roared, slamming my fist onto the desk so hard the heavy inkwell rattled.Kade had flinched, bowed his head, and backed out of the room without another word. Everyone was walking on eggshells around me, terrified of the broken monster the Alpha had turned into.I poured myself another drink, staring into the dark amber liquid. The silence in the estate was deafening. Every room felt too big, every hallway too empty. I had driven everyone away with my own selfishness, and now I was completely alone in the dark."Darian?"I froze, lowering the glass slowly to the desk. I thought I was imagining things, hearing voices in th

~ 102 ~~ Darian ~A week had passed since Fanny left my study, and the dark estate had only grown heavier, suffocating me from the inside out. I had barely slept, surviving on whiskey and dark rooms, my mind trapped in a relentless loop of regret.Then came the morning Kade and a handful of trusted men decided they could no longer watch their Alpha destroy himself.The door of my study swung open without a knock. I looked up, bleary-eyed and disheveled, a half-empty glass in my hand. Kade marched right into the room, followed closely by three senior guards who looked grim and tense."What do you think you're doing?" I snarled, slamming my glass down onto the desk, the whiskey sloshing over the rim. "Get out of my office, all of you!""No, Alpha. We are not leaving," Kade said, his voice hard as iron, standing his ground right in front of my desk. "Look at yourself, Darian. You are killing yourself in this dark room, and the pack is falling apart because of it.""I am the Alpha!" I roa

~ 103 ~~ Mia ~The plane's wheels touched down softly on the Red Moon airstrip, the low rumble of the engine fading into a steady hum against the tarmac. I leaned back against my seat and let out a long, quiet breath, feeling the tension drain out of my shoulders.I looked out the window, marking how completely different this arrival was from the first time I set foot in these mountains. Last time, I had come with a death sentence buried inside my skull—alone, terrified, and desperate, fleeing to a place I thought I might only come to die.Now, everything was changed.Nick sat right beside me with his face pressed hard against the glass, his eyes wide, bright, and healthy, chattering happily about everything he saw outside."Mom, look! Is that Uncle Ryker's car waiting by the gate?" Nick asked, pointing excitedly toward the terminal building.I smiled, following his finger with my eyes. "Yes, Nicholas, that's him. He promised he would be here to pick us up.""Come on, let's hurry!" Ni

~ 104 ~~ Mia ~The pattern repeated itself over the next few weeks. It keeps happening, Nick scrambling to hide the calls, flinching as though loving his father were a betrayal. He would quickly close his laptop or flip his phone face down whenever I walked into the room, wearing a look of sheer panic on his young face.The sight of it hurt me more than any mention of Darian could ever do. It broke my heart to watch my son carry a secret burden that he never should have had to bear.One evening after dinner, as Nick tried to slide his phone beneath a cushion on the sofa, I finally stopped him."Nick," I said softly, sitting down on the couch beside him.He froze, his fingers gripping the edge of the cushion. "Yes, Mom?""Stop," I murmured, reaching out to gently take his hand away from the phone. "Look at me, Nicholas."Nick turned his head, his hazel eyes wide and swimming with unshed tears. "I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't mean to sneak around. I just... I thought you'd be mad if you knew

~ 105 ~~ Darian ~The cold morning air of the northern military base bit straight through my shirt, but I didn't feel it. I was ordering several soldiers to come at me at once on the training ground and letting them hurt me, because pain I can feel is easier than the pain I cannot name."Again," I panted, wiping a streak of blood from my split lip as I faced the circle of three elite warriors in the dirt arena."Alpha, you've been sparring for two hours straight without a break," one of the soldiers hesitated, lowering his heavy training staff with a worried look. "We're going to break something if we keep this up.""I said again!" I roared, my eyes flashing gold with sudden, raw anger. "Do not hold back! Come at me all at once!"They didn't argue after that. They rushed me. A heavy wooden staff caught me square across the ribs, and a fist smashed into my cheekbone, sending me crashing into the frozen dirt. The shock of the impact flared through my body, sharp and blinding. I welcom

~ 106 ~~ Mia ~The dining room at the main Red Moon house was bright and warm, filled with the rich smell of roasted meat and fresh bread. Our inner circle had gathered for a family dinner. Ryker sat at the head of the table, with Nick beside him, while my parents occupied the center. Hailey and her father, Marcus Vaughn, sat near the end, and across from them were the doctors Zane and his father, Jonathan Thorne. The whole table buzzed with lively chatter, mixing pack news with medical talk.I looked over at Hailey and her father. The old tension between them had thinned into something manageable. I watched as Hailey actually tried to smile at a joke her father told, a softening that would have been completely impossible a year ago."More potatoes, Nicholas?" Jonathan Thorne asked, smiling across the table as he held out the bowl."Yes, please, Dr. Thorne," Nick said, holding out his plate with a grin."Call me Jonathan, son. We are off duty tonight," the older doctor chuckled, spoon

~ 107 ~~ Darian ~The door of my office at the northern military base slammed shut against the biting winter wind outside. My mother's worsening condition dragged the full weight of East Lake back onto my shoulders, wrapping around my neck like a heavy chain. The Council kept sending messengers, demanding I return to the palace, marry Lady Ariana, settle the succession, and finally be the Alpha they needed me to be.I held the base like a fortress against all of it."Tell the Council I am staying right here," I snapped at Kade, who stood by my desk with another stack of urgent letters from the elders."Darian, your mother is sick, and the Elders are threatening to strip your authority if you don't return to address the succession," Kade warned, his voice tight with worry. "You can't hole up in this base forever.""Watch me," I replied coldly, dropping back into my leather chair."They are bringing Lady Ariana to the gates again tomorrow," Kade added, crossing his arms and watching me

~ 108 ~~ Mia ~The sun was shining brightly through the large glass window of my office. I sat at my desk, looking over the medical charts for my next patient. A soft knock sounded on the wooden door, and Aron stepped into the room with a bright, hopeful smile on her face."Dr. Quinn," Aron greeted me, walking over and sitting down in the chair opposite my desk. "I have some wonderful news."I looked up from my papers, setting my pen down. "Good morning, Aron. You look very happy. Is it about your grandfather?""Yes!" Aron beamed, leaning forward. "The latest lab results just came back from the lab. The doctors say his vitals are stable, and his heart rate is completely steady.""That is wonderful news," I smiled, feeling a wave of relief wash over me. "It means he is finally ready for the surgery.""Exactly," Aron nodded eagerly. "And I wanted to ask you... would you personally attend to my father during the operation? I know you are the head surgeon, and you have a busy schedule, b

~ 109 ~~ Mia ~"...and I told the nurse, young lady, I have outlived three healers who swore I'd be dead by winter — you'll forgive me if I don't take your little chart too seriously," the old man said, and wheezed with laughter at his own joke.I smiled, pressing the stethoscope gently to his back. "Deep breath for me, Elder. In... and out. And those three healers would be very impressed with these lungs, so clearly you've been doing something right.""Stubbornness," he said proudly. "It's kept me alive and kept me married fifty-one years. Same skill, really."I couldn’t help but laugh. Aron's grandfather had never once let a check-up pass without at least three terrible jokes and one piece of unsolicited wisdom. He made the hardest part of my work feel like visiting family."Well, your stubbornness is paying off," I said, placing my stethoscope back around my neck. "Your heart rate is steady, and your chest is completely clear. If you keep this up, I might actually let you go home

~ 110 ~~ Mia ~The hospital hallways were already busy when I walked through the double doors. I dropped my coat off in the staff lounge, tied my white lab coat over my shoulders, and headed straight toward my office to review the morning surgery schedule.Before I could even touch my desk, the door pushed open and a young nurse hurried in, looking flustered."Dr. Liliana," the nurse said, pausing to catch her breath. "You have a patient waiting in examination room three."I frowned, glancing down at my digital tablet. "Room three? I don't have anyone scheduled until nine. Is it an emergency?""No, Doctor," the nurse replied, biting her lip with a hesitant expression. "It's... well, it's a man. He says he needs a bandage changed, and he flatly refuses to be treated by anyone else. He told us specifically that only Dr. Liliana is qualified to touch him."I raised an eyebrow, crossing my arms over my chest. "Refuses everyone else? Who on earth is he?""I have no idea, Doctor," the nurs
