last update Last Updated: 2025-03-20 23:45:49

Avery’s POV

The night air bites at my skin as I wander aimlessly through the outskirts of Kane’s territory, my heart pounding in my chest.

I can still hear the heavy clang of the iron gates slamming shut behind me, the finality of it ringing in my ears like a death sentence.

I was cast out like nothing.

I have nowhere to go.

But I refuse to give up, not when my child’s life is at stake.

Swallowing the lump in my throat, I force myself to move. My feet ache, my body is weak, but I push forward, making my way through the dimly lit streets of the outer pack lands.

There has to be someone, anyone, who will take pity on me.

I stop in front of a small cottage, the warm glow of lanterns flickering inside. I recognize the house, an elder woman, a healer, lives here. She once treated the warriors after battle.

Taking a deep breath, I raise my trembling hand and knock.

Silence.

Then, the sound of shuffling footsteps.

Hope flutters weakly in my chest as the door creaks open.

    Kane’s POV The ache never fades No matter how much I try to drown it out, no matter how many times I tell myself that rejecting Avery was necessary, the pain lingers like a slow, festering wound. A bond severed, yet somehow… not. I feel it every damn day. A dull, persistent tug in my chest, like something is missing. Like something was ripped from me but refuses to fully let go. I tell myself it’s because of the rejection, that my body is simply adjusting to the loss. That the emptiness I feel is nothing more than the side effect of breaking a mate bond. But my wolf knows better. He hasn’t stopped pacing since the day she left, a low growl always rumbling in the back of my mind. Bring her back. I shove the thought away as I stalk toward my office, forcing my face into a mask of indifference. My warriors bow their heads in greeting, my Beta murmuring updates as he falls in step beside me. I nod absently, acknowledging his words without really hearing them. Because

A low growl rumbles from my chest as I pace the sparring ring, my muscles tense with unspent energy.“Again,” I order.The warrior coughs, clutching his ribs as he scrambles to his feet.We’ve been at this for hours. The rest of the pack watches from the sidelines, eyes filled with wariness. No one dares to question their Alpha’s relentless training.They all know.I haven’t been the same since Avery left.---It’s been weeks.Weeks of burying myself in work. Of increasing patrols, pushing warriors past their limits, drowning myself in anything that keeps my mind occupied.But it never works.No matter how many battles I fight, how many meetings I sit through, she lingers.Avery.Her scent.

    Avery’s POVI wipe a shaky hand across my forehead as I step out of the café, my stomach twisting with nausea. The scent of freshly brewed coffee and warm pastries, usually comforting, had made me gag all day. I barely made it through my shift without throwing up. Mrs. Thompson had noticed immediately. “You’re pale as a ghost, dear,” she said, her wrinkled face creased with concern. “Go home. Get some rest. I won’t have you collapsing in my café.” I didn’t argue. I couldn’t. As I walk down the dimly lit street to get to the downtown market to get some things I'll eat for the night, I hug my coat tighter around myself. The city buzzes with life, cars honking, people laughing, the distant hum of music from a nearby bar, but none of it eases the growing unease creeping up my spine. Something feels… wrong. The hairs on the back of my neck stand on end, and a shiver slithers down my spine. I’m being watched. My heart pounds faster. My grip tightens on my bag. I force myself t

I don’t even acknowledge them. I just watch them as tbey continue to ramble on.I should have expected this. It’s been weeks since Avery left, weeks of these meetings becoming more unbearable, weeks of my Luna pretending everything is perfect, and weeks of me pretending I give a damn.I don’t.Not about heirs. Not about securing a legacy. Not about anything anymore.“An Alpha without an heir weakens the pack,” one of the elders continues, eyes sharp. “If something were to happen to you—”I slam my fist onto the table.

I try to focus on the rhythmic sounds, on the warmth of the café, on anything but the unease prickling down my spine.But something feels off.Every sound feels too sharp, every movement too noticeable. The clatter of plates from the back makes me jump. The laughter of customers seems distant, like I’m hearing it through water.A restlessness grips me, a feeling I can’t quite name.I flinch when a coworker brushes past me, nearly dropping the cup in my hands.“Whoa, you okay?” Glen’s voice cuts through my haze. She steadies me with a hand on my shoulder, concern clear in her eyes.I force a nod, plastering on a smile. “Yeah… just a little out of it today.”She doesn’t look convinced, but thankfully, she doesn’t push. “You should take a break.

    Avery’s POVI stood in the middle of it all, caught between two Alphas, one from my past and one from the fragile peace I had found in the present. The air was thick with tension, so heavy I could hardly breathe. All around us, the Midnight Hollow Pack had gathered and they stood frozen, their eyes flicking between Callum and Kane, waiting for a blow that hadn't yet landed.And then there was Callum.He didn’t speak right away. He didn’t react like I expected. No snarling, no immediate rejection of the challenge. Just.… a smirkIt curled slowly at the corners of his mouth, twisting into something dangerous and curious. His golden eyes weren’t filled with anger,  no, they gleamed with something else. Amusement. Amusement at Kane’s presence. Amusement at his demand. Amusement at me, perhaps, for being the center of it all“You’re bold, I’ll give you that,” Callum finally said, his tone almost lazy, laced with mock a

Avery stands just behind him, her hand hovering protectively near our son’s shoulder.I can barely look at her without the fury building in my chest. But it's not just rage. It’s pain. Betrayal. A yearning so deep it feels like it’s been carved into my bonesI take a step forward, my voice low, steady, yet filled with every ounce of authority I’ve earned through blood and war.“That woman,” I say, my gaze cutting straight through Callum, “and that child…. they are mine. They belong to me”The words echo, slicing the air between us like a blade.Avery’s face pales. Her lips part, but no words come. Her eyes, those damn eyes I’ve seen in every dream, go wide

And now that I’m standing at the edge of their territory, I can feel it, like a current in the air, electric and impossible to ignoreAvery.My heartbeat thunders in my chest as I step past the final tree line. As we discreetly entered into the pack, we entered a large garden at first. And, in the center of the field, framed by moonlight and pine, is her.Avery.My legs nearly give out.She’s alive.Hair wind tossed and wild, eyes sharp like I remember. She’s dressed simply, but she stands tall.... proud, whole, no longer the woman who once fled from me in fe

Every whisper fades into nothing. I’ve scoured villages, burned through resources, turned allies into spies and enemies into informants. All in the name of two people, one of whom I barely got the chance to know, my mate.… and my son.And now, I’m running out of places to lookI sit alone in my war room, the firelight flickering over maps and reports littered across the table. My hands are clenched, knuckles white against the parchment. My wolf paces restlessly beneath the surface, snarling at our helplessness. The silence around me is suffocating.Then, there was a knock.Dylan steps in without waiting for my permission, a scroll clutched in his hand, eyes unreadable. He’s been with me long enough to know better th

    Avery's POVThe scent of pine and damp earth fills my lungs, grounding me as I sit beneath the old cedar tree that overlooks the training field. The moon hangs low in the sky, casting a gentle silver glow over the clearing. My son is a blur of motion, darting after fireflies, his laughter spilling into the night air like a song I never want to forget.It’s peaceful here nowIt’s not something I take for granted. Not after what it took me to finally get this peace.I tuck a loose strand of hair behind my ear, my eyes never leaving him. Every step he takes in joy is a reminder of why I had to leave. Why I had to disappear from the only life I’d ever known. Why I endured so much to get here.This place… Midnight Hollow… it is now unlike any other pack I’ve known. They didn’t welcome me with open arms at first. They were wary, curious, they literally bullied me at first. But I didn’t come here seeking approval. I came seeking safety

It’s as if she never existed. As if my son had been nothing but a dream conjured in the haze of pain and regret.But I know better. I saw them. I felt her presence, her fear, her defiance, when they were ripped away from me. That memory haunts me more than the scent of blood in battle. And the silence that followed? It’s the loudest torment I’ve ever known.I stand in my war room, maps and intelligence reports strewn across the table like a battlefield. Pins mark every rumored sighting, every report of a she-wolf and child passing through human territories. We’ve scoured border towns, questioned informants, turned rogue packs inside out. And still...... nothing.“Still nothing?” My voice is low, but the threat in it is undeniable.Dylan stands acr

    Pain. That’s the first thing I feel as I drift into the realm of the living, raw, agonizing pain that claws through every muscle, every joint, every memory I’ve buried deep.I try to move, but my limbs are dead weight, like they belong to someone else. The darkness clings to me, thick and suffocating, until a dim flicker of candlelight filters through the fog in my mind. My eyes flutter open. The ceiling above me is is unfamiliar. The scent of medicine hangs in the air, laced with something metallic, blood, old and bitter.I’m alive.But at what cost?A presence stirs beside me. I turn my head slowly, every muscle screaming. It’s Dylan, my Beta. Loyal, dependable, always by my side. But there’s something in his eyes. A shadow. A hesitation that doesn’t belong there.My throat feels like sandpaper, my voice little more than a croak. “Where is she?”He stiffens.

    Avery’s Point of ViewI walk through the pack grounds this evening, and it’s… strange.The air feels differentNot in the way a storm brews or when something ominous lingers in the shadows. No, this was more subtle, like the pack itself is holding its breath. As if something fundamental had changed, something they couldn’t quite name but felt in their bones. And I could feel it too.Once, they only sneered and hissed at me.Once there was only scorn, mocking laughter, sneers, pointed fingers but now.... now there is hesitation. The Alpha’s children still glare at me, their hatred far from extinguished, but even that looks different now. Duller.

Whispers flitted through the halls like venomous wasps, my name being the subject of discussion.Their faces were laced with surprise, curiosity, and barely veiled contempt.“Did you hear? Avry snapped at the Alpha’s son a few days back”“She threatened them.”“I heard she nearly clawed his face off.”None of it was true. But none of it was false enough to be ignored either.
