Chapter: Friend ELIJAH'S POVMy eyes blinked open slowly, adjusting to the dim light filtering through the curtains. For a second, I thought I was dead. There was no pain—none of the searing burn I had felt before. My body felt whole, healed."You're welcome" Cana's deep voice echoed in my mind. His tone was full of annoyance and yet satisfaction.I chuckled weakly, shaking my head. "I take it you’re going to lecture me now?""Lecture?" he growled. "This is beyond a lecture, Elijah. You deserve a beating. You intentionally got yourself shot with a silver bullet just to keep her close. That’s not just stupid; it’s irresponsible and reckless.""It worked, didn’t it?" I teased, though I knew better than to push him too far."What is wrong with you?", he snapped. "Lying about the seer to lead her into the woods was bad enough, but this? This is madness. An obsession."“Enough,” I muttered aloud, cutting him off. I didn’t need his judgment right now. Turning onto my side, I froze when I noticed a familiar

Chapter: Get OutSerena's POVThe car was too quiet except for Elijah’s heavy breathing. I could see his knuckles tightening around the steering wheel, his arm still bleeding. I kept glancing at him, my unease rising with each passing second. The scent of blood and burned skin filled the air, and it was making me sick.“Elijah, you shouldn’t be driving,” I said with worry as tears threatened to spill.“I’m fine,” he grunted, not even glancing at me. His face was pale, sweat dripping down his temple. “No, you’re not!” I suddenly snapped before I could even control myself. “Pull over.” I said strictly.He hesitated, his jaw clenching. “I said I’m fine, Serena. We’re almost there.”“Pull over,” I said again, this time sharper, my voice leaving no room for argument. He glanced at me, his once bright blue eyes dim with exhaustion. “Serena—”“That’s an order!” I cut him off. I didn’t know where the authority in my voice came from, but it worked. He sighed heavily and pulled the car to the side of the road.

Chapter: HuntersSERENA'S POV~EARLIER~We walked back through the woods, the silence between us heavy. My legs ached from the uneven terrain, and my chest felt tight with disappointment. We'd come all this way for nothing. The Seer was gone and I couldn't shake the thought that something was off about it. Elijah on the other hand didn't seem bothered. I wondered why but push back those thoughts."This is so pointless." I muttered, lacking at a twig on the ground. "All that effort, and for what? A dead end."Elijah slowed down and glanced back at me. "Sometimes that's how it goes," he said. his voice calm. "We just have to keep moving forward"His calmness annoyed me. "Easy for you to say" I shot back. "You're not the one feeling like a failure right now"He stopped walking and turned to face me. "I didnt say you failed. I said we have to keep moving. Do you want to find answers or not?"I opened my mouth to argue, but before I could, a loud crack echoed through the air. My heart stopped. It was follo

Chapter: Enough ALPHA LUCAS'S POV The sun was already sinking below the horizon, casting long shadows across the forest, and still no sign of her. My heart pounded with frustration, anger boiling just beneath the surface. Where could she be? I had searched everywhere, checked every possible place they could have gone. Yet there was no trace of Serena.I even checked in with Mara in hopes that she'd say Serena and her had gone out together. Nothing. Out of curiousity I asked about Elijah and she says she hadn't seen him either. Fuck.I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms as I tried to keep my emotions in check. The thought of them together, out there somewhere, made my blood run cold. Worse, I couldn't even track her. hat were they doing? Why hadn’t they come back yet? My mind raced with questions, each one more painful than the last. I had returned to the pack earlier and planned a date with Serena but then she was no where to be found. I waited a bit before going in search for her.

Chapter: Come outELIANA’S POVEarlier, I had been pacing around the pack house, trying to shake off the feeling that Elijah and Serena were up to something. They’d been acting strange for days, whispering in corners, their movements secretive. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Every time I caught a glimpse of them together, it was like a knife twisting in my gut.“What could it be?” I muttered to myself, the question looping endlessly in my mind. Maybe it was something harmless—or maybe they were hiding something deeper. My chest tightened as a darker thought crossed my mind. Were they having some sort of secret affair? If that was the case, I’d deal with Serena for trying to hog two men and Elijah for excluding me.A faint noise broke me out of my thoughts. Who on earth is talking at this time of night? Annoyed, I went to my window. The moon cast long shadows, but even with the dim light, I could make out two silhouettes. It was them—Elijah and Serena.I stepped back, my nails digging into my palms.

Chapter: DoubtAlpha Lucas’s POVI turned away from the window, unable to stand still any longer. My thoughts were like a storm, spinning with no clear direction. Serena. Secrets. Elijah. It was all too much. I needed to clear my head. Maybe the study would help—anything to keep myself from replaying that moment earlier.That damn text.My lips still burned from kissing her. I’d deepened the kiss deliberately, needing to drown in her presence, to silence the creeping doubt that came with seeing Elijah’s name flash on her phone. Why was he texting her so late? Why had she hidden it so quickly?I sighed, stepping into the hallway. The air was cooler here, brushing against my skin like a warning. But I wasn’t alone.“Couldn’t sleep either?”The voice came from the shadows at the end of the hall. Soft, calculated, familiar. Eliana.I stopped, turning to face her. She was leaning against the wall, arms crossed, watching me like a predator waiting to pounce. Her sharp eyes seemed to see right through me.
