Marcus’s fury was palpable. “Cowards!” he roared at his men. “You dare betray me? After everything I’ve done for you?”

One of his soldiers, a burly man with a scar running down his face, stepped forward. “We followed you because we believed in your strength, Marcus. But now? Now we see you for what you are—a man blinded by his own arrogance.”

Marcus’s face contorted with rage, but before he could respond, the baby’s cry echoed again, louder and more insistent.

“What is that?” Henry demanded, his eyes darting toward the direction of the sound.

Marcus’s lips curled into a sinister smile. “That,” he said, his voice trembling with excitement, “is the future. My future. And no matter what you do, you cannot stop it.”

I stepped forward, my gaze locked onto his. “You’re wrong, Marcus. We can and we will. Whatever dark power you’ve unleashed, we’ll find a way to stop it.”

He laughed again, but it was weaker now, his injuries catching up with him. “You’re a fool, Kael. Always have been. Always

    Tesla's POVThe heat woke me. It wasn’t scorching, but it was stifling enough to make me stir. My eyelids felt heavy, and my limbs ached as I shifted on the soft surface beneath me. For a moment, I thought I was still in the labor room. Hadn’t I just given birth?My heart jumped at the thought. The baby. I had given birth before the pain overtook me and darkness swallowed me whole.I forced myself upright, the ache in my body protesting every movement. The room was dimly lit, with a faint flicker of firelight dancing on the walls. It smelled of herbs and something earthy, unfamiliar. My surroundings were sparse but cozy. Then I heard it—the soft clicking of pots and the faintest coo of a baby.My baby.I turned my head toward the sound and froze. Kael.He stood by the fire, cradling the baby in his arms. His movements were gentle, deliberate, as though he feared the slightest wrong step might harm the tiny life in his hold. The sight struck something deep within me. Kael, the hardened

    “You’re a stubborn little thing,” I murmured, my voice softer now. She gurgled in response, her laughter fading into soft coos.I sat beside the makeshift cradle, watching her slowly drift off to sleep. Something in my chest tightened, an unfamiliar ache that made it hard to breathe.“Guess we’re stuck with each other, huh?” I whispered.The sound of a saw cutting through wood snapped me back to the present. I reached the factory gates and nodded at one of the workers as I entered. The men here were rough, their lives shaped by hard labor and harder circumstances. But they didn’t ask questions, and that was exactly what I needed.I swung the axe off my shoulder and got to work, each strike a release for the thoughts swirling in my mind. Tesla was probably awake by now, maybe even glaring at me for keeping her in the dark. She didn’t trust me, not fully, and I didn’t blame her.Then there was the child. Henry’s blood. That fact gnawed at me like a thorn in my side. Protecting her felt

    Kael’s POVI couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly as I watched Tesla agree to come along with me to the festival. I never really expected her to go along with it so easily. But here we were, heading into unknown territory, trying to act like a married couple. I had to admit, it felt strange even pretending. The idea of being publicly recognized as a husband was a role I never envisioned for myself, but now it was real. And now, more than ever, I needed to make sure we pulled it off smoothly.After washing the dishes, I noticed Tesla was ready, her hair tied back neatly, and the baby nestled comfortably in her arms. The morning light made her look calm, yet determined, as if she had already accepted the role she was thrust into. I grabbed my cloak and made sure my axe was within reach, though I’d prefer not to show it off in front of everyone.As we stepped out of the house, I took a deep breath of the crisp air. There was a hint of excitement in the atmosphere, the kind that only a fest

    “Competition?” I replied, raising an eyebrow. I was still trying to make sense of everything that was happening. Between pretending to be married and navigating this strange human festival, I wasn’t sure where things were heading.Jarek gave me a playful shove. “Oh, come on, man! You can’t be serious. You must’ve heard about the Couples’ Contest!”I glanced over at Tesla, who had a confused look on her face. She shook her head lightly, equally clueless.“The what?” I asked, now more curious than ever.Before Jarek could answer, the booming voice of an announcer echoed through the street, cutting through the laughter and music.“All couples, please get ready! The Couples’ Contest is about to begin!” the announcer shouted, sending a ripple of excitement through the crowd.I turned back to Jarek, my confusion deepening. “What contest?”Jarek grinned widely, his excitement palpable. “Oh, it’s a fun one! The males have to carry their wives—” he gave Tesla a teasing glance “—and walk barefo

    Tesla's POVThe sun was relentless. It beat down on us as we trudged forward, bare feet pressing against the hot ground. I couldn’t help but glance around, noticing how some of the other couples were already beginning to falter, surrendering with tired sighs and grimaces. A few of the men had already dropped their wives, unable to continue. I could see their faces, dripping with sweat, their steps dragging.But then there was Kael.His face was set in that unyielding expression he always wore, like nothing could break his focus. Despite the heat, despite the grueling trek up the mountain, he carried me as if it was the easiest thing in the world. His steps were steady, and his jaw was clenched, but his posture was perfect—like he was born for this.I couldn’t help but admire him more with each step. Every time my eyes flicked to his face, I saw no sign of fatigue, no sign of pain. It was as if nothing could touch him. His focus was entirely on the path ahead, but there was a soft inte

    Kael's POV:Dinner at Jarek's house was a warm, satisfying affair. Tesla and I sat at the wooden table, the steady hum of conversation swirling around us. The food was simple but delicious, and the atmosphere relaxed. We had long since gotten past the point of awkwardness with Jarek and his family. It felt nice to be in such good company, to eat, laugh, and simply enjoy the moment. Even the little one, our child, seemed to settle in without much fuss, which was a relief.I glanced at Tesla, a soft smile tugging at the corner of my lips. She was talking to Jarek's wife, laughing at something she had said, and there was an undeniable warmth in her eyes. The kind that made my chest tighten with something I couldn’t quite place. Something beyond love. Something deeper.The clink of silverware pulled me back to the moment. I looked down at my plate, pretending to focus on my food, but my mind was elsewhere. Tesla. Our child. The future."You two should stay the night," Jarek's voice broke

    The room was quiet, save for the soft breathing of Tesla beside me. She had fallen asleep not long after we settled in, her face relaxed in the peaceful slumber she so often deserved. I couldn’t help but glance at her in the dim light, her features softened and serene in a way I rarely saw. Her dark hair was spread across the pillow, and the faintest smile tugged at her lips. She looked so at ease, so far from the constant chaos we had known, that it made my chest tighten with something unnameable.I smiled, but it didn’t quite reach my eyes. I was still adjusting to this new version of us—this life we were trying to carve out of the fragments left behind by everything we had endured. There had been so much loss, so many moments that seemed to stretch on endlessly, but now… now, for the first time in a long while, I could feel something different. A sense of calm, of stillness. It was tempting to hold on to this feeling, to imagine that maybe, just maybe, this was all we needed. A qui

    Alpha Henry pov The cold morning air bit at my bare scalp as the servant carefully continued shaving my head smooth. The blade scraped against my skin with a precision I had demanded. My reflection in the polished steel bowl of water before me stared back, a sharp, unyielding figure. Yet, beneath that exterior, my thoughts churned with a storm of anger and humiliation. Lies. My entire existence now felt entangled in deceit, one string of dishonesty pulling at the next until it threatened to suffocate me.Nine months—no, nearly ten now—and Serena had still not delivered the child she had sworn she carried. I clenched my fists against the armrests of my chair, the aged wood groaning under the pressure.“Nine months of deceit,” I muttered, the venom in my voice barely masking the hurt underneath. The words felt sour in my mouth, each syllable cutting as deeply as the betrayal I had uncovered. The memory of the doctor’s hesitant confession was still fresh, like an unhealed wound. She

    Henry’s POVMarcus’s massive paw pressed against my throat, cutting off my air as I struggled beneath him. His crimson eyes gleamed with triumph, his voice rumbling with satisfaction.“You thought you could control me?” Marcus sneered, leaning closer. “You’re nothing, Henry. No one can match me. No one.”I clawed at his arm, gasping, but his strength was overwhelming. My vision blurred, and I felt my wolf cowering within me, retreating.“All the territories,” Marcus continued, his voice cold and calculating, “will fall under my rule. Your petty little packs will bow, or they’ll burn. Starting with you.”Suddenly, a howl echoed through the chamber, cutting through Marcus’s gloating. His head snapped up, and he released me, allowing me to collapse to the ground, coughing and gasping for air.He turned toward the source of the sound, his lips curling into a mocking grin. “Well, well,” Marcus said, his tone laced with amusement. “Kael’s wolf. You’ve claimed it back, have you?”I followed

    Henry’s POVI leaned against the cold stone wall, the cries of the infant echoing through the room like a sweet melody of triumph. The scent of blood and despair lingered in the air, thick and intoxicating. It was over. Finally, after all the scheming, after all the sacrifices, I had the child. The ultimate weapon.Tesla stirred on the cot beside me, her lashes fluttering as she began to wake. I crouched down, waiting for the moment her eyes opened.“Ah, Tesla,” I murmured as she blinked in confusion, her disorientation palpable. “Welcome back to the land of the living.”Her gaze darted around the room, and I saw it—the moment she realized where she was. Then, her eyes landed on me. Hatred. Fear. A dash of sorrow. It was all there, written across her face.“Where is he?” she whispered, her voice hoarse.I grinned, savoring the question. “Oh, Kael? Right there.”Her head whipped around, and her breath hitched as she saw him. Kael stood at the far end of the room, his arms tied behind h

    Kael's POV I tightened my grip on Jarek’s arm as we crouched behind the cluster of crates. Marcus’s massive wolf form prowled through the ruined alley, his growls reverberating through the air like a storm about to break. Jarek’s breathing was ragged, his fear evident as he glanced toward the hospital in the distance. “We can’t keep hiding,” Jarek whispered, his voice barely audible over Marcus’s snarls. “He’ll find us.” I nodded, my mind racing. There was only one way out of this, and it wasn’t one we could both take together. “Listen to me,” I said, keeping my voice calm despite the chaos. “You’re going to run to the hospital. Now. I’ll distract him.” Jarek’s eyes widened in disbelief. “No! Are you insane? He’ll kill you!” “Jarek,” I snapped, grabbing his shoulders and forcing him to look at me. “I’ve faced worse than Marcus. I can handle this. But if you stay here, we both die. You need to go.” He shook his head, his resolve wavering. “I can’t just leave you here—” “Yes, you

    Tesla's POVMy lungs burned as Ana and I sprinted through the narrow hallway, her grip on the baby firm yet protective. The service exit Serena had mentioned was in sight, but the echo of heavy boots and snarling voices behind us reminded me that Henry wouldn’t let us escape so easily.“Faster, Ana,” I urged, my voice hoarse with desperation.“I’m trying!” she hissed, the baby starting to fuss in her arms.We burst into the dimly lit alley, but the moment we did, Henry’s imposing figure materialized from the shadows ahead, blocking our path. His smirk was sinister, his presence suffocating.“Going somewhere?” he drawled, tilting his head mockingly.Ana stumbled to a halt, clutching the baby closer to her chest. “Stay back!” she spat, her voice trembling but determined.Henry ignored her, his eyes narrowing as they locked onto me. “Tesla, Tesla… running doesn’t suit you. It’s pathetic, really.”I stepped in front of Ana and the baby, my body trembling but my resolve unshaken. “Leave th

    Serena’s POVThe sound of Henry’s voice brought me to a standstill. I froze for a heartbeat, then quickly turned to face the hall where the heavy footsteps were approaching. I could feel Tesla tensing behind me, and Ana instinctively pulled the baby closer to her chest.“Well, well,” Henry drawled, stepping into view with his men flanking him. His piercing gaze landed on me, a smirk curling his lips. “Serena. I expected better from you. By my side, doing as you were told. But no, here you are, busy siding with Tesla. How disappointing.”“I’m not here for you, Henry,” I said firmly, standing my ground.He chuckled, his eyes glinting with dark amusement as he shifted his gaze to Tesla. “Tesla, you look… good. A little worse for wear, perhaps, but still stunning.” He blew her a kiss mockingly, and my blood boiled. “If only you’d accepted my offer. I would’ve given you everything—protection, power, your child’s future secured. no, you turned me down. And now, well…” His smirk widened. “I

    I blinked, taken aback. Leave? What was she talking about?“What do you mean, leave?” I demanded, pushing myself up from the bed. My body screamed in protest, but I ignored the pain. “Why are you here, Serena? Aren’t you with Henry?”Ana stood up, protectively positioning herself in front of the baby as though instinctively sensing the shift in tension. Serena raised an eyebrow, her gaze hard.“I’m not here to explain myself,” Serena said, her voice growing more insistent. “Henry knows you’re here. He knows about this place. And he’ll be coming for you.”I felt a cold shiver run through me. Henry? How could he possibly know? This wasn’t the first time I’d escaped his reach, but if he was after us again...“How do you know that?” I asked, my voice trembling with the gravity of the situation.Serena looked over her shoulder, her expression cautious, almost paranoid. She closed the door behind her, ensuring no one else was around before she stepped closer to me, lowering her voice.“It d

    Kael’s POVI felt the hair on the back of my neck rise as Marcus smiled, his eyes flashing with an unsettling gleam. Without warning, he dropped into a crouch, his body trembling with energy. And then, in a moment that happened so fast I almost didn’t catch it, his form rippled and shifted.In an instant, he wasn’t human anymore.Marcus had transformed into a massive wolf, his fur bristling with power. His glowing eyes locked onto mine, filled with a feral hunger. My heart pounded in my chest, but something was wrong. I didn’t feel the usual pull to shift into my wolf form. My body refused to cooperate. It was as if my wolf... was gone.I snarled inwardly, trying to force the shift. But nothing. My wolf didn’t respond."What's wrong, Kael?" Marcus’s voice rumbled from the giant wolf’s mouth, the words almost mocking. "No transformation? Looks like living the peaceful life comes with a cost."I gritted my teeth, frustration building in me. This was impossible. My connection to my wolf

    Kael’s POVThe quiet hum of the room was almost soothing as I stood there, watching the doctor carefully adjust Tesla’s unconscious body on the bed. She was pale, her chest rising and falling shallowly as the doctor worked with an air of practiced calm. It was frustrating to see her like this—weak, vulnerable. But I knew she’d survive. She was strong, stronger than most. The doctor had assured me of that, but it didn’t make the sight of her any easier to stomach.“You’re sure she’ll be alright?” I asked again, my voice low, a tone of disbelief still lingering in the words.The doctor didn’t flinch, his hands moving expertly as he checked the IV line he’d just set up. “She’ll be fine, Kael. She’s just exhausted. Give her some time to recover, and she’ll be back on her feet.”I nodded stiffly, eyes never leaving Tesla’s still form. I wanted to believe him, but I couldn’t. Not yet. Not until I saw her open her eyes again. I clenched my fists at my sides, muscles tense.“Take care of her,

    I pushed further into the factory, each step calculated, cautious. My eyes flicked around the room, looking for anything that might give me a clue. The place was littered with broken crates, empty wood piles, and rusted equipment. But there was one thing that caught my eye—the remnants of a struggle. Some marks on the floor, scratches in the wood—some kind of evidence.I sniffed again, honing in on the source.Kael had been here.I knelt beside the marks, tracing them with my claw. The floor had been disturbed, the wood gouged deep. Whatever had happened here was messy—too messy to ignore. Something told me I was getting closer. The hair on the back of my neck stood up as I stood again, my senses sharp, my body tense.I turned toward a set of stairs leading to an upper level. My instincts screamed at me to climb, to get higher and get a better view of what was going on. With one swift motion, I bounded up the steps, my claws scraping against the metal.The air on the upper level was t
