The sun was already up, casting a soft golden hue through the curtains, but Lily remained unmoving on her bed, curled up under the covers. .The warmth of the blankets seemed to offer a cocoon of comfort, but it didn’t soothe the storm raging in her mind. Lily didn’t know how long she had been lying there, but the weight of her thoughts pressed down on her chest, making it hard to breathe. Why had she been so blind? How could she have missed all the signs? Alex had been nothing more than a predator, using her trust to gain access to the Alpha twins, to manipulate and deceive everyone around him.The silence of her room felt suffocating, as if it mirrored the emptiness inside her. She had no desire to face the world today, no energy to even get up. Everything felt so overwhelming, and all she could do was lay there, lost in the memory of the betrayal.The soft knock on her door broke through her haze. “Miss Lily?” a maid’s voice called from the other side.Lily didn’t answer. She

The heavy oak doors of the school’s assembly hall creaked open, and students poured in, their voices low but buzzing with curiosity and unease. None of them knew what exactly was happening, but they could tell from the face of the teachers standing around, and the fact they had been summoned to the assembly as part of an emergency, that the announcement that awaited them wasn't the usual ones. The atmosphere was thick with tension, the weight of the announcement hanging over them like a storm cloud. Lily clutched her notebook tightly, the edges digging into her palms as Maya walked beside her, her face set in a hard, unreadable mask.The hall filled quickly, the hum of whispers growing louder with each passing second. Lucas and Liam stood at the front, their powerful presence undeniable even in silence. The principal, a tall man with graying hair and sharp features, stood stiffly behind the podium. Beside him was Alpha Dean, his broad shoulders and commanding aura instantly silen

The group hurried through the dark streets, their faces tense and their breaths coming in sharp bursts. They couldn't brush off this feeling of urgency that propelled them and pushed their legs further to move at such a fast pace.Lucas and Liam, the Alphas in the group were already ahead of Lily and Maya but they made sure they didn't give them too much of a distance and cause them to be cut off from each other.As Lily watched Lucas and Liam moving with tremendous speed in front of her, she couldn't help but feeling a sensation that was close to being free and accepted.Never in her life did she imagine she would get this kind of feeling for the Alpha twins but now that it was here, she accepted it wholeheartedly. When they reached the gym, Lily pushed open the doors with more force than necessary. The metal doors creaked loudly, and the faint echo of their footsteps filled the vast, dimly lit space. “She’s gone,” Maya said, her voice barely above a whisper. Lily scanned the gy

The forest fell into a tense silence as Alex, Lucas, Liam, Lily, and Maya stood facing each other, their breaths forming mist in the cold night air. The weight of the revelations hung heavily between them, and each word spoken felt like the strike of a hammer on fragile glass. Lucas’s gaze was locked onto Alex, his jaw tight and his fists clenched at his sides. “How long?” he demanded, his voice sharp as a blade. “How long have you been planning this, Alex?” "What does it matter to you?" Alex asked, his voice more malicious than ever."Just answer the question" Lily said, her voice cutting through the atmosphere like a sharp knife. Alex smirked, though his eyes betrayed his exhaustion. “Longer than you’d think,” he replied, his tone smug yet strained. “You Alphas think you’re untouchable, but you’re blind to the wolves lurking in the shadows.” Liam growled low in his throat, stepping forward. “And you’re the one in the shadows, Alex? Preying on those who trust you? You’re path

The forest was alive with the symphony of nature—branches creaked under the weight of the wind, and leaves rustled like whispers in the dark. The moonlight broke through the thick canopy, illuminating Lily as she bent over, hands on her knees, trying to catch her breath. She had ran all the way to the forest without a moment to rest, the fear for Lucas and Liam’s safety driving her forward.Now that she was here with them and she saw they were holding their ground against their adversary, she could finally breathe properly and take in air."Breathe Lily" Maya said as she placed her hand on Lily's back and began to ease her nerves. Her chest heaved, her heart pounding in her ears. Her hair clung to her damp face which was filled with sweat, but she didn’t care. She had made it to Lucas and Liam and that was all that mattered. She straightened, her sharp eyes flicking between Lucas, Liam, and Alex. All three looked battered and bruised, their clothes torn, blood staining their skin

The moonlight filtered through the dense canopy of trees, casting long shadows on the forest floor. The night was eerily silent except for the sound of labored breathing and the crunch of leaves underfoot due to the intense battle between the forces of good and evil.Lucas and Liam stood side by side, their eyes locked on Alex, whose smirk only deepened despite the sweat glistening on his forehead. He whipped off his sweat as he made sure to keep his eyes on the Alpha twins, sure that they were ready to seize whatever opportunity they saw to take advantage of the situation and use it to defeat him."I have to say, this is the longest I've gone against an Alpha, but I guess it's mostly because I'm fighting against two of you and not one" Alex said, his chest falling and rising in a rhythmic way.Lucas and Liam growled at him, their sharp eyes showcasing the intensity inside both of them. “You’ve been a thorn in our side for far too long,” Lucas growled, his voice low and dangerous.

Riley's POV The car came to a smooth halt in front of the restaurant, its glowing elegance an extravagant display of glass and lights. The sheer elegance of the building was enough to make anyone feel out of place, but I was used to this now—Jaxon’s world of wealth and sophistication had become familiar territory. Before I could reach for the door handle, it swung open, revealing one of Jaxon’s bodyguards standing tall and imposing. His movements were precise, almost rehearsed, as he stepped aside to let me out. “Thank you,” I said politely, stepping onto the almost busy driveway. “Please let the driver know to stay ready. I won’t be too long.” The bodyguard nodded respectfully, his deep voice steady. “Understood, Mr. Matthews" he said.I adjusted my jacket, smoothing down the runples and took a moment to take in the sight of the restaurant. The evening air was delicious, the faint scent of sweet and expensive perfume being carried through the breeze. A valet hurried past,

Jaxon's POV The first thing I became aware of was a soft, persistent voice pulling me from the suffocating depths of unconsciousness. It wasn’t sharp or startling, but it was there—gentle and warm, like a light tug at the edges of my mind. “Jaxon… Come on, Jaxon. It’s time to wake up now.” Alexis. I’d recognize her voice anywhere, even in this hazy void. She was the only one that could annoy me to wake up.I tried to respond, to open my eyes, but my body felt like it was filled with something heavy.My limbs were tight, my chest tight, and even my eyelids refused to cooperate. Still, her voice didn’t falter. “You’re stronger than this,” she said, her tone firm but encouraging. “Riley needs you, Jaxon. We all do. So, wake up already!” That name—Riley. It sparked something in me, like a fire lighting in full force.Slowly, painfully, I willed my eyelids to move. The room around me came into focus, and the first thing I saw was Alexis’s face hovering above mine, her eyes wide

Riley's POVThe quiet of my apartment was a welcome change after the constant hum of the hospital. I didn't have to deal with the relentless beeping of the machines connected to Jaxon and I have to admit, I felt relived that I didn't have to listen to it, even if for just a few moments.It honestly wasn't easy living without Jaxon and I couldn't believe I had become so close to him, so much that I couldn't imagine how my life would have been if we never met.I guess that's what happens with someone takes a bullet for you.I set my bag down and pulled out my phone, intending to check the time, but a text notification caught my eye. It was from Chloe. "Hey, Riley. How’s Jaxon doing?" She asked and I could feel her concern just from reading her short message.I sighed, my fingers hovering over the keyboard before I finally typed out a response. "He’s still in the coma. The doctors don’t know when or if he’ll wake up" I replied, almost feeling like these words have become some kind of

Riley's POVThe steady hum of the machines filled the hospital room, a cruel reminder of Jaxon's fragile state. I sat beside his bed, my fingers holding his hand tightly, as if my touch could somehow bring him back to me. I couldn't deny it, I was actually hoping something like that would happen and finally end this nightmare once and for all.His face was pale, almost as pale as the clean hospital sheets, and the rhythmic beeping of the monitor was the only sign that life still flowed within him. It had been weeks—weeks since he’d taken that bullet meant for me, weeks since he’d fallen into this coma, and weeks since my entire world had come to revolve around this quiet, suffocating room. I sighed, brushing a stray strand of hair from his forehead. “Jaxon,” I whispered, my voice barely audible over the machines. “You have to wake up. Please. I don’t know how much longer I can do this without you.” There was no response, just the rise and fall of his chest, fixed and unchangin

Riley's POV The moment Jaxon hit the floor, my entire world shattered. I pleaded with him not to go into the light but as I knelt beside him, I could feel his life draining slowly.“Jaxon please don't leave me!” I screamed, holding his head and trying to get him to stay awake. His shirt was soaked with blood, the red stain spreading fast across his chest. My hands trembled as I pressed down on the wound, desperate to stop the bleeding. His eyes fluttered open for a moment, glazed with pain, and he gave me the faintest smile. “Riley…” “Don’t you dare,” I said, my voice breaking. “Don’t you dare leave me, Jaxon. Stay with me.” His breath hitched, shallow and ragged, as blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. I pressed harder on the wound, my hands slick with his blood. The warm, sticky sensation made my stomach churn, but I couldn’t afford to think about that now. Arthur stood a few feet away, his face pale and eyes wide with disbelief. He stared at Jaxon as though u

Jaxon's POV The world seemed to tilt on its axis the moment my father pulled the gun from his jacket. Since when did my father carry a gun? This was entirely new to me and I tried my best to process fast what exactly I was stsriiat: the barrel of a loaded gun.Growing up, I have always looked at my father as a man of power, control, and manipulation. He didn’t need weapons—his words alone had the sharpness of blades. But there he was, holding a gun, his face twisted in fury, and the cold metal glinting under the dim light. “Drop the gun, Dad,” I said, my voice calm despite the storm of emotions raging inside me. “This isn’t you. This isn’t how we do things.” His grip tightened around the gun, his knuckles white. “Don’t lecture me, Jaxon. You have no idea what I’m capable of.” Riley’s voice trembled behind me. “Arthur, please… put the gun down. You don’t need to do this.” Arthur’s eyes darted to Riley, his hatred so palpable it felt like a physical force in the room. “Y
