  Jared's POV The first rogue came through my bedroom window at exactly midnight. Glass shattered everywhere and the sound of splintering wood filled the air. I barely had time to shift before three more crashed through the door. They moved with precision. Too much precision. This was not a random attack. Someone had given them detailed information about my territory, my security, my weaknesses. Arianna. I fought viciously but the rogues kept coming. Wave after wave of them. My guards were overwhelmed within minutes and screams echoed through the night as my pack members scrambled to defend themselves. "Protect the children," I roared to my beta. "Get them to the safe house." I tore through two rogues with my claws and felt their blood spray across my fur. But for every one I killed, two more appeared. They were relentless and coordi

  Trent's POV The sound of Celine's broken voice on the phone shattered something inside me. She was crying. Begging. The woman who had faced every challenge with her head held high was asking me to save her. "Where are you?" I asked. My hand gripped the phone so tightly I thought it might break. "Kyle's estate," Celine whispered. "He locked me in my room. The wedding is in seven days. Trent, I cannot do this anymore. I cannot marry him." "You will not marry him," I said. My voice was hard with determination. "I am coming to get you. Tonight." "It is too dangerous," Celine said. "He has guards everywhere. Security systems. If he catches you, he will kill you." "Let him try," I said. "Just stay safe until I get there. Can you do that?" "Yes," Celine whispered. "Please hurry." The call ended an

Celine's POVTime stopped the moment Trent's eyes closed. I screamed his name over and over but he did not respond. His body was limp in my arms and blood soaked through his shirt from the wolfsbane wound."We need to get him to a hospital," Devon shouted. He was already pulling out his phone. "Now."Alpha Collins helped me lift Trent and we carried him out to one of the vehicles. I climbed into the back seat and held his head in my lap. His skin was burning hot. The poison was spreading through his system and I could see dark veins creeping up his neck."Drive faster," I begged the driver.The trip to the hospital felt like it took hours even though it was only twenty minutes. Every second that passed, Trent looked worse. His breathing became shallow. His heartbeat was erratic. I pressed my hand against his chest and willed him to keep fighting."You cannot die," I whispered. "Do you hear me? You cannot leave me. Not now. Not after everything."We reached the hospital and doctors rus

Celine's POVI watched the news coverage of Kyle's press conference and felt my stomach turn. He looked so convincing. So sincere. The bandages. The pained expression. The way his voice broke when he talked about being worried for my safety.It was all lies. Every single word. But people believed him."Turn it off," Trent said quietly. He was sitting beside me on the couch in his private living room. His injuries were still healing but he refused to rest. "Do not torture yourself by watching this.""I have to," I said. "I need to know what he is saying about me. About us."The news anchor's voice filled the room. "Public opinion is divided on the incident. Some believe Alpha Kyle's account while others question his motives. The supernatural council has launched an investigation into the matter.""An investigation," I repeated bitterly. "They are investigating me like I am the criminal.""They are investigating both of you," Devon said. He was leaning against the wall with his arms cro

Celine's POVMy hand trembled as I stood outside Trent's door. The bond was screaming inside me and pulling me toward him with a force I could no longer resist. Every nerve in my body was on fire. Every breath felt like torture.I had tried to fight it. Tried to be rational. Tried to protect my heart. But the fractured bond had suddenly flared to life tonight and it was overwhelming. The need was so intense that it made my knees weak.I raised my hand to knock and hesitated. What was I doing? Was I ready for this? Could I really trust Trent with my heart again?Before I could change my mind, the door opened. Trent stood there shirtless and surprised. His hair was messy and his eyes were dark with barely controlled desire. He had felt it too. The surge in the bond. The pull."Celine," he breathed."I cannot fight this anymore," I whispered. My voice shook. "I have tried. God, I have tried so hard. But the bond is too strong."Trent's eyes searched my face. "Are you sure? Because once w
