Cold seeps through the damp stone walls of my prison cell, wrapping around me like an unforgiving embrace. My body aches, exhaustion settling deep into my bones, but the weight in my chest is heavier.I had come here for help.And instead, I was locked away like a criminal.But worse than my imprisonment is the thought of my son, alone, afraid, possibly crying for me in some dark corner of this territory. The image guts me, igniting a fire in my chest, but I am helpless. The iron bars before me stand as an unyielding reminder of my reality.I rest my forehead against the cold metal, swallowing down the lump in my throat. Think, Avery. I cannot afford to break. My son needs me.Footsteps echo down the corridor and my body tensesA shadow moves beyond thee bars, and then, Kane’s Beta, Damien, steps into the dim torchlight."Get up," he murmurs, voice low.I blink at him, my he
Avery’s POVMy screams rip through the night, but they do nothing to stop the brutality before me.Kane is down.Blood pools beneath him, dark and endless, soaking into the dirt as if the earth itself is drinking his life away. His golden eyes, always burning, always sharp, are shut.He isn’t moving.“No!” My voice cracks, raw and desperate. I lurch forward, but the chains bite into my wrists, holding me in place like a cruel reminder of my helplessness. “Stop! You’ve done enough!”The rogues don’t listen.Their leader, a tall man with a jagged scar running from his brow to his chin, stands over Kane’s motionless body. He nudges Kane’s side with his boot, as if expecting him to get back up and fight. When Kane doesn’t, a slow, cruel grin spreads across his face.“Not so untouchable now, are you, Alpha?” the rogue sneers, spitting onto the blood-stained ground.A low, strangled sob escapes me. I hate Kane...... don’t I? I should feel nothing but contempt for him after everything he’s d
Kane’s POVThe night air is thick with tension as I step into the meeting place. My senses are sharp, every muscle in my body coiled, ready for battle. The damp earth beneath my boots, the distant howl of wolves in the forest.... everything around me screams danger.I expected a trap.And yet, the sight before me still sends a fresh wave of fury through my veins.Avery and the boy are shackled in thick silver chains, their bodies slumped against the cold, hard ground. Avery’s face is pale, her eyes filled with defiance but also something else... fear. My gut twists at the sight of the boy. He’s smaller than I imagined, fragile, his face streaked with dirt and tear stains.He looks at me, just for a second, and my breath catches.But there’s no time to process that.My attention shifts to the rogue leader standing before them. He’s taller than most, his face marked by old scars. His dark eyes gleam with amusement as he watches me, a smug grin curling his lips. Around him, a dozen armed
Kane’s POVI adjust the cuffs of my black shirt, my movements precise, controlled. Every fiber of my being is focused on tonight, on the moment I will finally have Avery to myself again. I tell myself it’s just a business arrangement, an exchange. But deep down, I know it’s more than that.She agreed to it.That has to mean something.A knock at the door shatters my thoughts.“Come in,” I say, not bothering to look up.The door opens, and my Damien steps inside. His posture is stiff, his expression unreadable. Immediately, I sense it, something is wrong.I finally lift my gaze. “What is it?”Wordlessly, he steps forward and places a sealed letter on my desk. The parchment is rough, unmarked by insignia or scent. That alone is suspicious.“This just arrived,” he says. “No trace of where it came from. We checked for poison, hidden markings, nothing.”Frowning, I reach for the letter and tear it open. My eyes scan the first few lines.Then...... everything stops.The letter was from the
Avery’s POVThe storm outside had passed, but a different one raged inside me.I had barely slept, my mind a relentless battlefield of guilt, desperation, and fear.The chill of the night still clung to my skin, but it wasn’t just the cold keeping me awake. It was him.Kane.His words had been sharp, biting, designed to wound. And they had. But what hurt more was knowing that deep down, despite everything, I still needed him.And that made me weak.I hated that weakness.But my son was out there, alone, possibly terrified. There was no room for pride. No space for the past. I had to focus on what mattered.Taking a deep breath, I pulled on my coat, ignoring the slight tremble in my fingers. I had a long night ahead, and Kane’s conditions still rang in my ears.I should feel disgusted.Angry.Even ashamed.But all I felt was… empty.I had made my choice. And now, I had to follow through.Just as I turned toward the door, a sharp knock made me freeze.My stomach twisted.Who in this pac
Kane’s POVAvery pulled herself from the bed and she kneels before me, her drenched clothes clinging to her shivering frame, her eyes wide with desperation. The fire in the hearth crackles, casting flickering shadows across the room, but she remains unmoving, waiting, pleading.The heavy wooden doors click shut behind my Beta and the guards, leaving only the two of us in the dimly lit study. The storm outside howls against the castle walls, but it’s nothing compared to the storm raging inside me.Her lips part, trembling. "Kane…”I don’t move.I lean back in my chair, arms crossed, jaw tight. I should throw her out. I should let her suffer the way I did. The way I still do. But instead, I find myself watching her, analyzing every flicker of emotion that crosses her face.“You’re asking me to risk my men, my resources… for what?” My voice comes out colder than I intended, but I don’t take it back.She swallows hard, her hands balling into fists on her lap. “For old time’s sake.”A shar
Kane’s POVI stand by the large window, arms crossed over my chest, watching the rain lash against the glass in relentless sheets.The storm outside mirrors the one raging within me, violent and untamed.Behind me, Sophia’s voice is like a blade against my skin, sharp and grating.“She’s manipulating you, Kane.”I don’t turn around. My eyes remain locked on the fragile silhouette kneeling outside the gates“She’s doing this on purpose,” Sophia presses, stepping closer, her tone laced with irritation. “She wants to make you feel guilty. She rejected you, humiliated you, and now she crawls back, knowing knowing exactly how to play on your emotions.”My fingers curl into tight fists at my sides.“Let her suffer,” she continues, venom in her voice. “She doesn’t deserve your sympathy, Kane.”Sympathy.The word gnaws at something deep inside me.Sympathy is weakness.And I am not weak.I tell myself this over and over.But I can’t look away.Through the downpour, Avery remains kneeling, unm
Avery’s POVAfter I had pushed Kane away, lied to him that the baby was not his child, told him I never wanted to see him, I never imagined I would crawl back to help me like this.And Kane, he is right here in front of me, looking like he had not aged a day. It felt unreal.Kane stood behind his desk, a mix of shock and disbelief flashing in his golden eyes. For a fleeting moment, I think I see something else, recognition, longing, something unspoken. But before I can hold on to it, another figure steps forward.Sophia.She moves with deliberate elegance, placing herself between us like a barrier, her gaze sharp and full of hate.“How dare you come in front of Kane after everything you’ve done?” Her voice drips with venom, her posture rigid with contempt. “You embarrassed and rejected him. You refused to be his mate. And now, you crawl back, asking for help?”I clench my fists, forcing my voice to remain steady. “They took my son.”Silence.Then, a scoff.Sophia crosses her arms, ti
Avery’s POVThe journey to Red-Claw Pack is the longest and most agonizing of my life.I don’t stop. I don’t rest. My body screams for a break, but my mind is too wild with panic to listen. My son is out there, taken, and every second wasted could be the difference between saving him and losing him forever.I push forward, ignoring the throbbing ache in my legs and the burning in my lungs. I managed to find a driver in the next town, a rogue willing to take me close to Kane’s territory for a ridiculous amount of money. But I don’t care. I would give up every penny I have if it meant getting Jace back.By the time I reach the border of Kane’s pack lands, the sun has barely started to rise. My heart pounds against my ribs as I step forward, breath hitching at the sight of two warriors blocking my path.“Turn around.” One of them commands, his sharp gaze raking over me. “Outsiders aren’t allowed past this point.”“I—” My voice is raw from exhaustion, but I force myself to stand taller. “
AVERY "Run, Avery!" My friend Emma yelled, I took to my heels immediately, my feet began to hurt as I've run through an unknown part for so long. It's midnight in Greenville city, Emma and I were returning from a birthday party celebration, and on our way home we were attacked by rogues. Emma suspected them to be some of my father's enemies. I know we shouldn't have left the pack without some bodyguards to guard us. It was definitely a bad idea. After running for a long while, I fell on the hard ground, hitting my knees hard. I felt a warm liquid drip down my leg and I realized that it was my knee bleeding. It fucking hurts! Exclaimed inwardly. I looked around the dark street, Emma was nowhere to be found. We lost track of each other while running. I cut a part of my dress, using it to tie my wound as I attended to it. "Ahhh" I groaned. Immediately I pulled the piece and finished tying it. Now, I had to stand up and find Emma. I summoned my not-too-strong wolf. Trying...
