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.

    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

Against the suffocating loneliness of knowing there is no pack, no home waiting for me.No one except the tiny life growing inside me.My child.That thought alone keeps me moving.I hunt where I can, stealing scraps from the forest. The human world is foreign, unfamiliar, but I force myself to adapt. To blend in.

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.

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

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.

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.

    Avery’s POV I had fallen asleep in the living room after putting my son to sleep and cleaning the house. But the sound of shattering glass suddenly rips me from sleep. For a split second, I think I imagined it. The room is silent except for the rapid pounding of my heart. My breath is uneven, my body frozen as I try to distinguish between dream and reality. But then, a gust of cold air brushes against my skin, unnatural and sharp. And I know. Something is wrong. My son I sprang up, my bare feet hitting the floor with a loud thud. The sound barely registers in my ears as I sprint down the hall, my pulse hammering louder than my footsteps. The hallway has never felt this long. Every second drags. By the time I reach the bedroom door, my hands are trembling so badly that I nearly rip it off its hinges. And then I see it. The window........ wide open. The night air rushes in, making the curtains snap and billow wildly like ghosts in the dim moonlight. The glass sh

Across the room, Sophia, my chosen Luna, is speaking with a visiting Alpha. Her laughter is soft, too sweet, her hand lingering on the man’s arm for just a second too long.It’s supposed to be harmless, a diplomatic show of hospitality. But something about it irks me. It seemed like she was deliberately doing everything to get my attention.My wolf growls low in my mind, restless and on edge. I shove the irritation down, forcing myself to look away. This isn’t what should be consuming my thoughts. I have bigger problems.The attack.The message."A pup for a pup."The words have been gnawing at me all day. A threat, a warning… or something more?I take a deep breath, pushing back my chair. The visiting Alpha turns toward me, expecting me to rejoin the conversation, but I lift a hand."Enjoy the feast," I say, my voice even. "I have matters to handle, but I’l
