Rowan’s POV

I woke up far too early in the morning. The pale light of dawn crept through the curtains, casting shadows on the walls, but it was the storm in my head that jerked me from sleep.

My heart was racing, pounding against my ribs as if I had just run a marathon, and the first thing that shot through my mind was that moment—the damn moment when I’d almost hit Ember with my car after what the pack elders had said to me.

My jaw clenched at the memory. It wasn’t just that I almost crushed her with the vehicle. No. It was the rage that had clouded my thinking, the fire in my veins that blinded me.

Ember had been standing there, so fragile, immovable, and all I could feel was the fury roaring inside me like a wildfire, threatening to burn everything in its path, including her.

I struck my head with the heel of my palm, letting out a low mutter. "Why did I have to mess things up that much?" The words tasted bitter as they left my mouth.

I raked my fingers through my hair, trying to s

    Ember's POVI stood by the window, biting my lower lip so hard it hurt. The guards were everywhere, their presence suffocating.They patrolled the pack house like hawks, making my plan to escape the Scar Moon pack nearly impossible. But I had to go. I needed to go. If I didn’t leave now, I wasn’t sure when I’d get another chance.The full moon was coming tonight. Caleb had warned me about it. He said it would be best for me to reach the Claw Bane pack and take care of my son.Loak needed me, and there was no way I was going to stay here while he was out there, waiting for me.My heart pounded in my chest as I watched the guards. My hands trembled at my sides. I could feel Lily, my inner wolf, stirring inside me, anxious and restless.She wanted me to tell Alpha Rowan—our mate—where I was going. But I couldn’t. I wouldn’t. Rowan couldn’t know. He would never let me leave if he did.“You should tell him,” Lily urged in the back of my mind.“No,” I whispered softly, shaking my head. “I c

    Ember's POVI couldn’t believe this was happening. Alpha Rowan’s voice still echoed in my mind as the guards dragged me across the cold, stone floors.“What are you waiting for? I said, 'lock her up!'” His growl had sent shivers down my spine, and now I was being taken away from everything I had imagined could be possible today.My heart pounded in my chest, the only thought in my mind—Loak. I had to be with him. I had promised him.I fought back, yanking my arms from the guards’ tight grip, struggling against them with everything I had left. “Let me go! Please!” I cried, thrashing against their hold.For a moment, just a split second, I managed to break free. My breath caught as I stumbled forward, thinking I could run, thinking I could make it to my son.But before I could take another step, more guards appeared, blocking my path. Their hands grabbed me, harder this time, pulling me back into their clutches.“No! I need to be with him! Let me go!” I shouted, my voice breaking. The p

    Ember's POVFinally, a new day...The full moon had been last night, but the tension in my body hadn't loosened since. I hadn't slept, not even for a moment.My mind kept circling back to Loak, my son. The full moon was never easy on him. I had spent the night staring at the ceiling, unable to shake the thoughts of him battling his own demons.I kept wondering if he was coping, if he had control, or if the fever inside him had gotten too strong.The clock ticked endlessly, and I sat on the edge of the bed, torn between checking on him and keeping my distance.I glanced at my phone, sitting in my hand like a weight. Should I call Caleb? Should I ask how Loak was doing, or would that make things worse for him? Maybe I should wait until dusk, give him time to recover without me hovering.But the longer I waited, the harder it became to keep still. My fingers twitched toward the phone, but then I’d pull back. This back-and-forth went on for what felt like hours.Suddenly, the phone rang,

    Rowan's POVI could feel the weight of the ceremonial robe as I pulled it on, the fabric stiff against my skin. It had only been two days, but it felt like forever since I’d last seen Ember.Two long days since the full moon. Two long days since I’d nearly lost control of myself, the feral fever threatening to tear me apart from the inside.I’d been getting better at handling it, so I didn’t need a pack doctor’s help this time, but it had been close. Too close.I shook my head, trying to clear the memories. I wasn’t supposed to think about that now. Today was too important.Today was a pack affair gathering, and Ember would have to be there. She was my Luna, after all. She should be by my side.But where had she been these past two days?I pushed the thought away. I had purposefully avoided her. Crawls, my inner wolf, had growled at me more than once to go to her, to find out why she hadn’t come out of her room, but I’d ignored him.The bond we had was still there, burning like a low

    Rowan's POV.The doors to the throne chamber swung open, and everyone turned to look. I sat on my throne, feeling restless, but the moment I saw Ember stumble in, my heart nearly stopped.She looked pale, almost ghostly, as if her whole life had been drained from her soul and her wolf snatched away. Her steps were slow and shaky, and it was clear something was terribly wrong.I didn't want to care, but then her eyes met mine.For a split second, I couldn't help but notice her smile. It wasn’t the kind of smile I was used to seeing from her—it was weak and tired, like it took everything she had just to lift the corners of her lips.Before I could even react, her body unexpectedly gave out. Ember, my mate, collapsed right there on the cold stone floor before me and everyone else.My entire body froze at the sight before me. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. My mind raced, but I couldn’t move. I was stuck, staring at her, my heart pounding in my chest. She wasn’t moving. She wasn't k

    Rowan's POVI stood outside the door, pacing back and forth like I had been for hours. The sun had long set, but I hadn’t even noticed.My mind was racing too much to care. Ember collapsing right there in the throne chamber, in front of everyone, kept replaying in my head.Over and over, I saw her fall, heard the gasps from the pack, and the sound of her body hitting the floor.It was like the world had stopped for a moment, but everything inside me was spinning out of control.I wanted to hate her—I had hated her for so long. She betrayed me, breaking the trust we had for each other. She had definitely done it on purpose, but now I just don't know anymore.Seeing her like that, lying there so still, all I wanted was for her to wake up. Nothing else mattered, not even the fact that she had clearly broken my heart and everything that represented love in me.“Alpha, you need to calm down,” Beta Nathan said softly beside me again. His hand was on my shoulder this time, trying to steady m

    Rowan's POVI stood there, frozen, staring down at Ember’s unconscious body, my mind barely able to process the doctor’s words.“She’ll be fine, Alpha Rowan,” the doctor repeated, but his voice sounded distant, almost as if it were coming from underwater.Fine? My mate had nearly died because of an allergy, and I didn’t even know about it. Fury bubbled up in my chest. I spun around, my gaze locking onto Lena, who stood quietly in the corner, her eyes wide with fear.“Why didn’t you tell me?” I demanded, my voice shaking with anger. “Why didn’t you tell me Ember was going through this?”Lena flinched but didn’t look away. She didn’t offer any excuses, and that only made my anger flare even hotter.I took a step closer to her, then another, my hands curling into fists at my sides. My whole body trembled with the need to do something—anything—to release this anger.“You should’ve told me!” I roared, suddenly grabbing Lena by the throat and lifting her off the ground as if she weighed not

    Rowan's POVWith one last glance at Ember's unconscious body on my bed, I could feel my heart tighten.She looked so fragile, so lifeless. I didn’t know if she would make it, but I wasn’t going to let anyone else see that weakness in me.My jaw clenched as I stood up, my fists tightening. I would make the one responsible pay. No one dared harm Ember and got away with it."Take me to her now!" My voice was sharp, cutting through the silence of the room. Beta Nathan, standing at the door, nodded quickly and led the way.My footsteps were heavy, filled with rage as I followed him out, the fury inside me building like a storm ready to break.We headed down the long corridor, past the windows that showed the dimming evening sky. I didn’t care about the fading daylight; all I could think about was that woman.The cook. The one who had prepared peaches for an Alpha. As a cook in the pack house, she was expected to know what the Alpha took and what he didn't. There was no excuse for preparing

    Rowan's POV. I burst into the room, my heart pounding in my chest like a drum. The scent of blood and sweat filled the air, but it was her scent—soft and familiar—that made my wolf, Crawls, roar in my mind. There she was, Ember, lying on the cold floor like a broken doll. Her fiery red hair was tangled, her face pale, and her body still. For a moment, I froze.“Ember,” I whispered, my voice trembling. My knees hit the floor beside her, and I gently scooped her up into my arms. She was far too light, her frame frail, and the warmth I always associated with her was gone. Crawls howled again, desperate and full of rage, but I forced him back. Now wasn’t the time to lose control.“I’ve got you,” I murmured, pressing her close to my chest. “I’ll keep you safe now. I swear it.”Without wasting another second, I rushed out of the room, my boots echoing against the hardwood floors. The house was eerily quiet, the signs of battle evident in the shattered windows and overturned furniture.

    Rowan's POVStaring at Loak, who stood before me, my hands holding his shoulders, I tried to piece it all together. His uncanny resemblance to me, his ability to calm me down even after raging.His scent. He was definitely of Alpha blood. Could he be my son? I pondered deeply, but just as I was still trying to understand it all, the door to the room pushed open, and Beta Nathan stormed in.It seemed more like they hadn’t left the pack yet.“Alpha Rowan, we’ve got news,” he declared the second he walked in, making me stand to my feet and turn to him.There was no doubt that I would solve the situation between Loak and me later. Right now, Ember mattered the most.“Speak up!” I commanded with a deep, grumpy voice, and immediately, he began to speak.“Our spies in the Claw Bane pack just sent a message to us that Luna Ember is in the Claw Bane pack. Alpha Thane took her that night!”The second Beta Nathan let out those words, I felt an intense sense of rage and fury course through my vei

Is she some ghost now who can just disappear without a trace?” I shouted as I struck my tightened fist on the table before me.After the misunderstanding between Ember, my Luna, and me, she left the pack house. I was going to chase after her, but Beta Nathan asked me to stay back. He pleaded with me to stay back. Now, I don't know where she is.I have no idea where she ran off to. It's been close to three days, and my mate hasn't returned to the pack house. So where the fuck is she?“I’m so sorry, Alpha Rowan, but we've searched the entire Scar Moon pack for her and are unable to find her. I don’t know, but maybe she left just like seven years ago.”The second he let such bitter words leave his lips, I stormed to my feet in anger. “Enough, Beta Nathan!” I could see him take a step backward, recoiling away from me.“She loves me! Only me! She wouldn't dare leave the pack like before. Don’t say what you aren’t sure of!” I warned him ster

    Ember's POVA throbbing ache in my head welcomed me back to reality. The stinging light pierced into the dark room through the cracks on the wall. Don’t get me started on the cold that engulfed me instantly.“Where am I?” I struggled to speak, my eyes squinting as I held my head, trying to stop the pain that coursed through my veins.I wasn’t expecting my morning to be this way—finding myself on the ground and looking all pale. Just as I was trying to understand what was happening, I recalled it. I recalled last night.I had seen Alpha Rowan with a lady—a half-naked lady at that. He was on her. The Rowan I knew wouldn’t dare to cheat on me, but because of my assumptions, I believed it and fled from the pack house without realizing it was a plot to get me where they wanted me.Uncle Baron had taken me in and drugged me. And the last voice I heard was that of Thane. Does it mean Alpha Thane was part of this plot? He carried me last night, which meant just one thing… “I am in the Claw Ba

    Zara's POVI kept hearing weird sounds—disturbing ones at that—as I lay in my room. I had been unable to rest all day, and just as I was about to do so, this happened.With a frustrated groan leaving my lips, I sat up on the bed, rubbing my eyes gently to check what time it was. It was clearly midnight, so why was I still hearing whispers from outside my room?It seemed like something fishy was going on, and whoever was responsible didn’t want anyone to know about it.“Who could that be?” I pondered briefly before I stood up from my bed and walked out of the room.My eyes scanned the area, as vigilant as always. In case the pack house was being robbed, I definitely shouldn’t let myself fall into danger immediately.Just as I was trying to understand what was going on, I couldn’t help but halt abruptly in my tracks at the sudden sight of a door partly creaked open by my right side.With my brows furrowing, I turned on my heels and headed closer to the door. Peeking through the tiny ope

    Ember's POVI wasn't sure what Beta Nathan was trying to do, but one thing I knew was that I didn’t, and couldn’t, fall for it.I ignored him and headed straight toward the room. I was tired of standing out in the cold. I needed to rest. I had been through so much already, and I was certain that standing there and listening to him speak for another second could make me collapse.He tried to call out and stop me, but I didn’t—I couldn’t stop. After what felt like an eternity, I finally arrived at the door to the room.For some reason, I kept hearing voices inside the room. It couldn’t be Beta Nathan because I had just been with him, and from the tone of the voice, it sounded more like a female voice, which made my brows furrow immediately.“What’s happening? Why is there a female in the Alpha's room?” I questioned, my curiosity piqued as I reached for the door handle.I knew that Rowan rarely let the maids come into his room after I began staying with him. Without another thought, I pu

    Rowan's POVOne week later*It's been a week, a wonderful week since Ember healed up from being poisoned by wolfsbane. She was poisoned by that demon called Zara, who pretends to be a cool and kind lady in front of Thane. She's just using him.Well, that's not the point. The point is that the second Ember walks through those doors, I won't hesitate to embrace her, kiss her, and tell her how much I have always loved her, despite being rude and harsh to her.That was never my intention. I just wanted her to see how much leaving me hurt—leaving me all alone after taking some money from my uncle. But right now, I don't care about any of that, as it might all just be lies.As I stared at myself in the mirror, a bright smile curling across my lips, I couldn't help but think about what she'd say when she walks in.I was preparing for her alone. I wanted her to see me as a good Alpha she could trust, someone she could open up to, and not as a monster. I didn't want to be a monster anymore.Tu

    Uncle Baron's POV.“High Lord Baron, are you certain that Scott's plans will work?” Ricky asked as he drove the car.We were heading back to the pack house so I could rest and also act like nothing happened—like we hadn't left the pack house.I turned my gaze to look outside the car. I knew Scott was still young, but that didn't mean he wasn't thinking or that he was useless.“What will be will be, Ricky. So long as you want it, it'll happen. I don't care about the plans Scott has. I care about the outcome, and we have to make it happen,” I said in a low grunt, my eyes not turning back to look at him.I was sure he had kept staring at me through the rearview mirror, but I still didn't give him a glance from where I sat.Just as we were still heading back to the pack house, the sudden ringing of his phone echoed inside the car, pulling his attention to it.I didn't care. I didn't want to, but the minute he mentioned Alpha Thane, I felt my hairs stand. There was no doubt that the plans

That omega, whom I had warned to stay away from the Scar Moon pack. We had an agreement—she was expected never to show up, but she did, and right now, she was ruining my plans for me. My plans to take over the Scar Moon pack.And whoever threatens to destroy what I have tried to build for so long—I'm sorry, but I can't let them live.“She has to go.” My grip tightened even more until I crushed the glass cup, letting the pieces pierce through my skin, just to show how furious I was.I wasn't expecting to see her in the Scar Moon pack.Just as I was still reeling in anger and rage, a sudden knock came at my door, bringing me back to reality for a split second.“Who?” My deep voice echoed in the room as I asked.“It's Gamma Ricky, Sir,” the voice came in, sharp and abrupt.“Come
