My wrists ached from where he’d grabbed me earlier, but my mind was sharper than ever. “You should let me go, Daniel,” I said, every word laced with warning. “You’re making enemies of not one, not two.but three damn Alphas. You won’t survive that, and neither will your pack. It’s suicide.” He blinked, then gave the most ridiculous grin, like I’d just complimented his new haircut.

Elijah sneered. Defying the odds, I screamed, "Elijah, leave him be! He's on the brink of death. Spare him from further torment. Let him find peace." Elijah turned back to me, his smile twisted. "Now it's your turn to inflict suffering. After all, he loves you most. Let him witness your agony, an everlasting torment," he taunted. Elijah approached me, his intentions shrouded in mystery.

Daniel has a little strength to walk a mile to the place he was when he received the food, he hopes he can see that often. He walks rapidly and luckily for him, he meets some bunch of the pack drinking themselves to stupors in an open store where alcoholics are being sold.

“Never.” That one word settled between us, quiet but heavy, and for a second, the danger waiting outside the municipal hall felt far away. Then Daniel shifted on the sofa and the moment broke. He looked up at us, his eyes moving from Alexander’s face to mine. “Are you two done?” Kuya Adam’s head snapped toward him. “Careful.” Daniel swallowed whatever else he wanted to say, but bitterness still sat on his face. “Gia is out there.” “I know,” I said.

“Tasha’s a strong woman, but she’s not heartless. Maybe she’s just waiting for you to show her you’re ready to handle the truth.” Daniel exhaled deeply, his shoulders slumping. “I don’t know, Stan. I’m trying to be there for Ethan, to give him whatever he needs. That’s all I can focus on right now.” Stanley nodded slowly, his expression softening. “You’re a good man, Daniel. But don’t let fear keep you from finding the answers you need. For your sake and his.” Daniel didn’t respond immediately, his gaze fixed on the bar counter.

Daniel said listlessly. While trying to calm himself, Daniel took a deep breath. However, each subsequent chime of the bell seemed to emphasize Stefany's absence. His heart became more restless, bad thoughts began to invade his mind. "What if Stefany is really not allowed to come? What if something bad happened to her? What if her father is still locking her in the house?" Daniel's anxiety could no longer be controlled. Suddenly, he stood up from his pew.

"Daniel? Daniel!" Hazel held onto me, refusing to let anyone else touch me. "Hazel, what happened to my brother? Tell me what happened! Say something!" Elena's hands shook as she touched my face. She choked up, rendering her unable to speak anymore. "Daniel…" Ophelia stood rooted to the spot. When she finally snapped out of it, she slowly approached.
