JAKE’S POV

The dining hall was quieter than usual tonight, the hum of casual conversation replaced by a tension that rippled under the surface. It wasn’t lost on me that most of the pack still thought Ayla was guilty, even if I knew better. They didn’t have the advantage I did—the bond.

Being mated meant I could sense her emotions, feel the truth in her words even when they were unspoken. Ayla was too kind, too genuine to scheme or harm anyone. I knew this deep in my gut. But knowing wasn’t enough to protect her. Joseph had spun his web of lies masterfully, and now I had to unravel it, starting with his weakest link—Tammy.

Tammy was always hovering on the edge of my attention, her behavior as inconsistent as the tide. Some days, she played the role of a dutiful guest, pleasant and compliant. Other days, she reverted to her bratty, entitled ways. But tonight, I needed her to feel special, needed her to believe I was truly interested. It was the only way to get closer to the truth.

    JAKE’S POVThe packhouse was quieter than usual. A storm had rolled in overnight, casting a somber gray across the skies and soaking the earth with a relentless downpour. I welcomed the gloom; it matched my mood. Joseph’s accusations against Ayla were spreading like wildfire, and even though I knew they were baseless, the pack was uneasy. I needed someone I could trust, someone who saw through lies as easily as they breathed. That person was Sophie. Sophie wasn’t just my cousin; she was my confidante, someone who had stood by me through the worst of times. She had a way of seeing the truth when everything else seemed muddled. If anyone could help me unravel this mess, it was her. I found her in the kitchen, kneading dough with a precision that spoke of years of practice. Her dark hair was tied back, and her sleeves were rolled up to reveal muscular forearms. Sophie had always been unassuming in her demeanor, but beneath her calm exterior was a sharp mind and a fierce loyalty.

    AYLA’S POV morning sunlight filtered through the tall windows of the packhouse, illuminating the dining room where Sophie and I sat, sipping tea. Sophie had been strategizing all night, her sharp mind spinning plans and contingencies, while I struggled to stay optimistic. Today’s mission was delicate. We needed Tammy. It wasn’t easy for me to imagine Tammy as an ally, especially after everything she’d done—or rather, tried to do. But Sophie believed there was a flicker of goodness in her, a shred of potential we could tap into. I wanted to believe it, too, because without her, we had no chance of dismantling Joseph’s schemes. “She’ll come around,” Sophie said, as if reading my thoughts. I swirled my tea, watching the ripples. “I don’t know. She’s been under his control for so long. What if she doesn’t want to break free?” “She does,” Sophie said firmly. “She just doesn’t know it yet.” We found Tammy in the pack’s herb garden, kneeling by the lavender bushes. Her hands moved

    The midday sun filtered through the curtains of Jake’s office as I sat across from him, trying to gauge his reaction. His expression was unreadable, his jaw set, and his eyes focused intently on the wooden desk between us. I’d just explained everything—Tammy’s decision to break free, her desire to help us, and the steps we were taking to ensure Joseph didn’t find out. “You trust her?” Jake finally asked, his voice low and controlled. “I wouldn’t say trust,” I admitted. “But I believe she’s genuine about wanting out. She’s terrified of her father, Jake. She’s been trapped in his shadow her entire life, doing his bidding because she thought she had no choice. Now, she’s starting to see that she does.” Jake leaned back in his chair, his eyes narrowing as he considered my words. “If this is a trap—” “It’s not,” I interrupted, my voice firmer than I expected. “Jake, I know what she’s done, and I know it’s hard to believe she’s on our side. But she’s risking everything to help us. I

    The plan was set. The air buzzed with a mixture of tension and anticipation, and I could barely contain my nerves as I joined Jake, Sophie, and Fatima in the study. Tammy was pacing in the room, wringing her hands and muttering to herself. It wasn’t hard to see the turmoil in her—it was written all over her face. “You’re sure you want to do this?” I asked softly, stepping closer to her. She stopped, her green eyes meeting mine. For the first time since I’d met her, I saw vulnerability and strength wrapped in one glance. “I have to,” Tammy said, her voice steady despite the tears brimming in her eyes. “If I don’t, he’ll keep hurting people. He’ll keep hurting me.” Jake nodded, his face unreadable but his voice firm. “Stick to the script. Tell him exactly what we planned. We’ll be listening the entire time.” Sophie handed Tammy a small bugging device, barely the size of a button, and helped her secure it to the collar of her blouse. “You need to make him lose his temper,” Soph

    I sat at the edge of the pack garden, watching the twins play in the soft grass. Lily was babbling in her high-pitched toddler voice, pointing at the sky as a bird flew by. Logan, quieter than his sister, reached for a dandelion, his tiny fingers closing around the fluffy stem. Their laughter floated toward me like music, momentarily lifting the weight that had been pressing down on my chest. Tammy stood beside me, her expression soft but tinged with something else—a quiet sadness, perhaps. It had been a week since Joseph’s imprisonment, and Tammy had spent most of that time in reflection. She was different now, no longer shadowed by her father’s overbearing influence. “They’re incredible,” Tammy said quietly, her voice tinged with awe. “They are,” I agreed, smiling as I watched Logan stumble toward Lily, his balance still wobbly but determined. “They’re my everything.” Tammy turned to me, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. “Thank you,” she said, her voice barely above a whi

    The day started like any other, or so I thought. I was in the kitchen with Sophie and Fatima, the twins playing on their mat nearby. Logan was chewing on a stuffed wolf while Lily babbled at a block tower she had just demolished. Sophie was sipping her coffee, a mischievous glint in her eye, while Fatima busied herself cutting fruit, humming softly. “Jake left early today, huh?” I asked casually, glancing at Sophie. “Yep, gone all day,” she said with a wave of her hand, her tone far too nonchalant. I didn’t think much of it, trusting Sophie’s word. If Jake was gone, I could relax a little—no risk of him brooding in the corner, silently making me question everything with one smoldering glance. I had planned to take a long shower, one of those therapeutic ones where I let the water wash away the stress of everything. Except, when I turned the knob in my bathroom, nothing happened. Not a drop. “Seriously?” I muttered, fiddling with the handle as if sheer willpower would summon

    The day started peacefully, a rarity in my life. Sophie had insisted on taking the twins for the day, giving me a break. At first, I was hesitant, but her persistence—and the mischievous sparkle in her eyes—wore me down. Something told me she was up to no good again, but I decided to take the time for myself anyway. Jake had gone out earlier for pack business, leaving the estate quiet and calm. I wandered outside and found myself staring at the pool. The crystal-clear water glistened under the sunlight, looking impossibly inviting. Why not? I went to my room and pulled out a bikini I hadn’t worn in years. It hugged my curves perfectly, the vibrant teal complementing my skin. Normally, I wouldn’t wear something so revealing, but since it was just me, I threw caution to the wind. The water was cool and refreshing as I dove in, swimming a few laps before floating on my back, basking in the warmth of the sun. I felt free for the first time in ages, completely at ease. A lot had h

    Sophie was pacing the living room when I walked in, her vibrant auburn hair bouncing with every step. She had that mischievous glint in her eyes that always made me wary. I folded my arms, leaning against the doorframe as I observed her antics."Alright, Sophie," I said, breaking the silence. "What’s going on? And don’t tell me ‘nothing’ because that look on your face screams trouble."She froze mid-step, turning to face me with an innocent smile that didn’t fool me for a second. “Trouble? Me? Never. But since you’re asking…”I sighed and sat on the couch, gesturing for her to spill whatever was on her mind. Sophie didn’t need much prompting.“I’ve been thinking about Jake,” she started, her tone casual, though I could tell she was about to drop something big. “And about you.”“What about us?” I asked cautiously.She plopped down beside me, resting her chin on her palm. “Ayla, it’s been months. You’ve been amazing with the twins, a great Luna, and honestly, you’re the best thing that’

    The morning was quiet, more peaceful than usual, but there was a weight in the air that made me uneasy. I had spent the entire night with the twins, feeling their soft breaths and hearing the gentle rise and fall of their chests as they slept peacefully in my arms. The bonds we shared were undeniable—these two tiny beings held my heart in a way I never thought possible. But it wasn’t just their innocence and love that kept me up at night. It was the danger, the growing threat I could feel surrounding them, even though no one spoke of it out loud.I spent most of my time trying to keep them safe. Jake and I had our differences, but one thing I was sure of was that he cared for them. The issue wasn’t his love for them—it was the ever-present doubt that clouded his judgment. He didn’t trust me fully, nor did he trust the visions I had seen in my dreams. Those dreams, those warnings, they weren’t just random—they were real.Today, however, I was trying to push those thoughts aside, trying

    The night air was heavy, thick with the kind of silence that made my skin crawl. Ever since the attack on the twins’ room, I hadn’t been able to rest properly. Something was off in the packhouse, and I could feel it in my bones. I paced the room, arms crossed tightly over my chest as my mind reeled over everything that had happened in the past few days. The failed kidnapping attempt, Jake finally agreeing to take the twins' safety seriously, and the ever-present tension between us. And then there was the dream. Prisca’s voice had been clearer than ever, guiding me, warning me. But about what? I needed answers. I exhaled heavily, glancing at the sleeping twins. Their soft breaths filled the space, a reminder of why I couldn’t afford to be careless. I reached for a blanket, tucking it around them before stepping away. That’s when I saw it. The smallest draft of air… coming from the far wall of the room. My eyes narrowed. That didn’t make sense. The room was closed—wind

    I sat on the edge of the bed, watching over the twins as they slept soundly in their cribs. Their tiny chests rose and fell in a steady rhythm, their peaceful faces untouched by the chaos around them. They had no idea how much danger lurked in the shadows, how many people wanted to harm them simply because of what they were. It made my chest ache.Jake might not believe in my visions, but that didn’t mean I would stop protecting them.I ran my fingers through Lily’s soft curls, her tiny hand twitching in her sleep as if reaching for something. My heart swelled with love, but also with fear. How far would these enemies go?The room was dimly lit, the only light coming from a small lamp by the dresser. I leaned back in my chair, exhaustion pulling at my limbs, but my mind refused to rest.Then I felt it—an odd sensation, like an invisible pull. It made the hair on my arms stand up. I glanced around, my eyes narrowing on the twins’ blankets.A chill crept down my spine as I moved closer,

    The packhouse had never felt this tense before. Warriors moved in and out of the main halls, security was on high alert, and whispers followed me wherever I went. Ever since the attack on the twins, things had changed. The pack was afraid, and Jake—Jake was furious.He had been working nonstop, investigating, interrogating, and making sure every single security measure was doubled. He barely slept. I wasn’t sure if he even ate. He was always moving, always planning, and always avoiding me.But I wasn’t going to be ignored. People acted like I was weak especially after they found out I was an omega ,they thought they could just lock me up and make me a babysitter instead. Whenever I tried talking to Jake he acted all busy and asked how the twins were. The worst part was Fatima and Sophie also thought it was best I don't get in harms way. They didn't say straight up but it's the way they tried to make sure I was occupied indoors like some housewife.If he thought I was just going to si

    I sat in my office, staring at the wall as the weight of everything threatened to crush me. My mate, my unborn child, my pack—everything was hanging by a thread, and I felt powerless. Prisca had finally told me the truth, and it shattered me in ways I couldn’t put into words. She was given an impossible choice. One where no matter what she decided, she would lose something—either our child or me. How the hell was I supposed to accept that? My fingers clenched into fists against my desk as a growl rumbled low in my chest. No. I wouldn’t accept it. Fate had already tried to take too much from me. I had lost warriors, friends, people who depended on me to lead them. But my family? That was where I drew the line. There had to be another way. I pushed back from my desk and stood, my muscles tense as I made my decision. I couldn’t sit here and wait for fate to take its course. I had to act. I walked out of my office and made my way down the dimly lit halls of the packhouse. Most o

    The room was dark and silent as I drifted in and out of a restless sleep. My body was heavy, but my mind was uneasy, tugged by an invisible string that wouldn’t let me rest. I heard the voice again, soft yet urgent, piercing through the haze of my dreams. “Ayla... wake up. Go to them.” It was Prisca. My eyes flew open, and I sat up in bed, my heart pounding. The room was cold, the night air chilling my skin, but it wasn’t the temperature that sent a shiver down my spine. Something was wrong. I threw on my robe and bolted out of the room, my feet carrying me down the hallway toward the twins’ nursery. As I approached, the sight of the guard slumped against the wall froze me in my tracks. “Lance?” I whispered, shaking his shoulder. He didn’t respond. His breathing was steady, but he wouldn’t wake up. It wasn’t normal sleep—it was too deep, too unnatural. Fear gripped me as I turned toward the door. It was ajar, and the faint light from inside spilled into the hallway. Slowly

    The morning sunlight streamed through the nursery windows, casting a warm glow over the room as I sat on the floor with Lily and Logan. Their giggles filled the air, and despite the ache in my chest from my last conversation with Jake, I couldn’t help but smile. Being with the twins was the only thing that gave me peace now. They didn’t judge or lash out. They didn’t push me away. They simply existed in their innocent, joyful world, and I was grateful to be a part of it. Today was bath day, and I had everything set up: warm water in the tub, towels neatly folded, and a small bottle of lavender-scented baby soap. Logan crawled toward the tub, babbling incoherently, while Lily followed with a determined look, her tiny fists clutching the edge of the tub as she tried to pull herself up. “All right, you two,” I said with a laugh, scooping them both up. “One at a time. You’re not running this show.” Logan went first, splashing the water with glee as I lathered him up. His little hand

    The past few days had been unbearable. I avoided Jake at every turn, retreating to the nursery or anywhere I could find peace. Every glance from him was like a dagger, a cruel reminder of his dismissiveness and the cold rejection that had left me shattered. He’d made it clear I was nothing to him—nothing more than an inconvenience, a burden he regretted sharing his bed with. But no matter how much I wanted to distance myself, I couldn’t. The twins were my anchor, their innocent faces and soft giggles pulling me back to my purpose. Sophie and Fatima tried to cheer me up, offering kind words and teasing smiles, but I could barely muster the energy to respond. My heart was heavy, and my mind was constantly replaying Jake’s cutting words. One night, exhaustion finally claimed me as I lay on the couch in the nursery, the twins sound asleep in their cribs. I drifted into a restless sleep, my dreams quickly consumed by something vivid and strange. Prisca. She stood before me, radiant

    The morning sun filtered through the curtains, warming my skin as I stirred awake. I felt the weight of an arm draped over me, and my heart fluttered. Memories of the night before surged through my mind—his hands, his lips, his body against mine. I blushed furiously, burying my face in the pillow. Jake. The Alpha who had consumed my every thought had also been my first. I wasn’t sure what had come over me, or him, for that matter. The mate bond had finally won, and we’d given in to the pull between us. And now, here I was, tangled in his arms, feeling something I hadn’t in years—contentment. I shifted slightly, turning to look at him. His face was relaxed, softer in sleep, and I let myself admire him for a moment. I had no idea how long I lay there, but eventually, my own eyelids grew heavy, and I drifted off again. When I woke up a second time, the bed was cold. Jake was gone. I sat up, the disappointment hitting me harder than I expected. My fingers trailed over the empty sp
