Third-Person POV In the following two weeks, Michele lingered outside the medical camp every single day. Afraid of incurring Emilia's disgust, he didn't dare come close. All he did was watch her from a distance. He looked into everything she'd been through over the past five years. That night, after the party, Emilia hadn't boarded the plane. Instead, she'd followed a medical aid team and flown to the Listoria war zone on a military transport aircraft.

He screams. "I-I... I killed a friend a few days ago, and Freya told me how I'm going to enact change when the world sees I'm a monster? M-Maybe she's right, but if I say and do nothing, then Elias's death would have all been for nothing. I-I-... want to start with you because I can see you don't want to kill me either." "You. Know. Nothing!" He spits. "The world isn't flawed, Kyro. The ones inhabiting it are-... But that's okay - no one is supposed to be perfect, and that's perfectly okay with me," Kyro gaze widens, vulnerability and pain reflecting in his eyes.

I sure hope that I’m right about this or else it’s going to be embarrassing. I met with Lyla from the Golden Moon Pack because she can get the Bloodmoon flowers that nobody else can manage to keep alive. That and she’s the best at what she does. We don’t have a flower shop here, thinking we should get one now—she is moving here now since her and Jackson are mates. I hope Remi will understand when her birthday is here. When did I get so mushy and soft? I’m supposed to be a feared Alpha. What is this little wolf doing to me? I supposed after all of this, I need to strengthen my appearance to the pack and other packs, remind them that I’m not one to be messed with.

Mrs Angela asked as she stared askance at Daisy Hunter. Glaring back at Mrs Angela, Daisy's countenance changes from happiness to a mixture of concern and bewilderment. "No, I'm Wade's fiancée," Daisy said, her voice laced with trepidation. "You…my son's fiancée?…aren't you his Secretary at the office?" "Yes, I am ma." Daisy Hunter replied, her gaze intent on Mrs Angela. Staring askance at Daisy, Mrs Angela's gaze was laced with venom. "This can't be." Mrs Angela said as she flung the door shut at Daisy's face.

Heavy. Deliberate. Kael didn’t react. But I felt it through the bond. That flicker of anger. Sharp. Controlled. “Then state your purpose,” Kael said. The man’s gaze shifted back to me. Slow. Intent. “My purpose,” he said softly, “is standing right behind you.” My stomach dropped. Kael’s voice turned lethal. “She’s not yours.” The man chuckled. “That’s where you’re wrong.” The words sent a cold wave through me.

Flinn shook his head, "You can't keep sacrificing yourself for others, Eden. It's not fair to you." She looked up at him, "What else am I supposed to do, Flinn? Sacrifices have to be made." Flinn sighed, "I know. But you're important to us. We need you alive and well." Eden didn't know how to respond to that. She didn't feel important, not really. She was just doing what she could to help. Flinn leaned in closer, "I have some good news though. Kylian is doing better. He's been improving every day and can move by himself now."

A young woman approached, her steps confident and light, a small smile playing at her lips.

Serena blinked in surprise. She hadn’t expected to see a woman among the warriors—and certainly not holding the high rank of Beta.
