Feral Secret Chapter 49
The room is thick with tension, the air heavy with everything that’s just been revealed. Raina sits on the floor, her knees drawn up to her chest, trembling. Callum hovers nearby, his face a mask of pain and confusion. I stand by Luke, my heart pounding in my chest as I try to process the whirlwind of emotions swirling around me.Raina’s sobs echo through the room, raw and unrestrained, each one a dagger to the heart. “I didn’t mean for any of this to happen,” she chokes out, her voice ragged. “I never wanted to hurt anyone… I swear it.”I glance at Luke, who is as tense as a coiled spring. His jaw is set, his eyes hard, but there’s a flicker of something softer beneath the surface. Understanding, maybe. Or pity. I’m not sure which, and I don’t know if it even matters right now.“Raina,” I say softly, taking a tentative step toward her. “We know you didn’t want this. But we need to know everything—every detail that might help us stop them.”She looks up at me, her eyes bloodshot and h

We’re all acutely aware of the stakes, and every sound seems magnified in the stillness of the woods.The figure steps into the light, and my heart skips a beat as I recognize the face of Donovan—the very person we’ve been trying to outmaneuver.“Didn’t expect to find you here,” Donovan says, his voice dripping with cold amusement. “But it seems I’ve stumbled upon a little family reunion.”Before I can react, Donovan’s gaze sweeps over the room, settling on Raina with a look of twisted satisfaction. “So, the traitor returns to her old friends,” he says, his tone mocking. “And here I was thinking we’d have to go looking for her. It seems you’re all so eager to make this easy for me.”Panic surges through me as I exchange a glance with Cheryl. We’re caught off guard, and Donovan’s presence is a

Alpha Cillian has called an emergency meeting with the pack leaders of neighboring territories, and the sense of dread is palpable.I sit in the corner of the room, my mind a whirlwind of thoughts. The recent attacks, the betrayal of Raina, and the increasing threat from Donovan and his hunters have left us all on edge.

The sterile smell of the hospital is suffocating. Every beep of the machines and whispered conversation in the corridor feels like an intrusion into the fragile bubble of hope I’m trying to maintain. My father’s surgery is over, and the doctors have given us a glimmer of good news—his condition is stable, but it’s still critical. The uncertainty hangs heavy in the air. My mother is seated across from me, her eyes red from crying, her hands clasped tightly in her lap. We haven’t spoken much since the doctor’s update, the tension between us palpable.Finally, the door to the waiting area opens, and the doctor emerges. He looks tired but relieved, his expression a mix of professional detachment and empathy. As he leaves, I take a deep breath, trying to steady myself. My mother’s gaze is fixed on the floor, her hands still clutched together. I walk over to her, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.“Mom, it’s going to be okay,” I say softly. “Dad’s going to make it through this.”She
