SarahThe became incessant, accompanied by low growls, as the person behind the door grew impatient. It was probably seconds, but it felt like minutes as I made my way slowly to the door. The banging ceased immediately, just as it had started, as I reached for the door handle.I kept quiet, my hand hanging on the handle, waiting for him to resume his attack on the door. But everywhere remained quiet, even my mother had stopped shouting."You’re shaking, Sarah." I hadn’t realized Ava had quietly come up behind me.I stared at my trembling hand on the handle and steadied it before pulling the door open. To my utmost surprise, there was no one there.Had I imagined it or had he left when no one had answered? My heart sank deep into my belly as my eyes scanned the porch. Deep down, I knew I wanted to see him.“There is no one here!” I yelled from the door before stepping outside to take a closer look. “Hello! Is anyone out there?”The house was a few miles away from town and we had no n

RyderI stood at the door, anxious, waiting for her to open. Waiting to see her face again, after these dreadful five months.You should have waited a little longer, I mentally scolded myself. But I couldn't, not when she called me, sounding scared. How was I going to convince her that I made it from Stormclaw to Ravenwolf pack— miles away from Stormclaw — within minutes?The door swung open and I opened my mouth to explain.“Sar—” The words died quickly from my mouth when I realised who was in front of me.“I knew it was you all along,” Ava's eyes were glaring at me. “—you knew?” I stammered, caught off-guard by her hostile voice.Ava’s gaze was steady, just as her stance between the door. She was clearly determined not to let me into the house. “Of course, I knew. You might have fooled her with your little trick, but not me. There was clearly no one else who had seen me.”I stood there, my mind racing. “Ava, I don't know what you're talking about. I came here for Sarah. She sounded

SarahWhy did I say that? Why did I offer to stay at his place?A quick glance at the both of them told me they were as surprised as I was. Ryder’s eyes were almost popping out of their socket. If I wasn't also sharing the same feeling, I would have laughed at the sight.“Are you serious, Sarah?” Ryder's mouth produced words.Good question. Was I serious? I had no answer. All I could think of was what I had heard— She took his son, too. The very thought of it made my heart ache for me, knowing how much he loved his little boy.“Yes,” I insisted, looking straight into his eyes, trying to know what he was feeling. “I can handle it. And it will be better for us to stay close. That way, fewer people know about him, and the less danger he would pose to them.”I saw the glint in his eyes, though it was brief. But Ava didn't share in his excitement, and she wasted no time letting it known.“Sarah, staying at Ryder’s place is unwise. The gossips and… You could be passing the wrong message to

SarahI felt a chill run down my body, as her words sank in. But I didn't even have time to react or think, because she was grabbing at her throat and gasping for air.Ava was having a panic attack. Her face was a blundering red and her mouth was wide open.“Ava! Ava, take a deep breath,” I struggled out of bed and reached for her. My back was beginning to ache, but I ignored it.“Deep breaths, Ava… follow my lead,” I instructed, maintaining eye contact. “In… and out. Just like that, love… Slowly.”We kept at it for a while and finally exhausted, she settled into my arms. Gently, I led her to the bed and tucked her in.Her hand felt limp in mine when I held it. “You know what that means, Sarah. Now you know why I can't stay here. We are not safe here.”“Shhh…” I brushed the hair from her face. “Let's not talk about this right now. We can think of what to do tomorrow.”She nodded, weakly, and my heart broke at the sight. Ava has never appeared weak to me, not once. But here she was ter

RyderEverything Zane said was lost on me. My brain wrapped itself around the word ‘Alim’ as it echoed over and over.Finding my voice, I asked. “Where?”Zane was acting weird, fiddling with his fingers. The ever-so-confident Zane was stalling. I repeated my question. This time more as a command. “Where are they?”I watched him steal a glance at Sarah before he spoke. “She is outside with the boy. She refused—”Everything else he said was lost to me as I hurried out of the room, almost knocking him down in my haste.True to his words, Alexis and Alim were standing outside the open gate, which I found weird. Why didn't she come inside and make a scene? And why was she here, by her own will, after disappearing for five months?“Alexis,” I called coldly, barely acknowledging her before picking up the boy beside her.“Alim. Son.” I hugged him close to my chest, inhaling his scent. But Alim didn't share the same sentiment. He stood rigid in my embrace, pressing his hand against my chest i

Selene“I have news from Stormclaw pack, reaching me.” Lucas’ loud voice filled the room. He had summoned my father and me into his study room— every part of the house was controlled by him and my father made no fuss about it, much to my annoyance.This was the first time Lucas was seeking our presence in weeks.“What news, Alpha Lucas?” my father’s timid voice irked me.He wasn’t always like this. When I returned with Alim, he still had control over his house and guards. But over the months, his influence had weakened, his voice barely audible in Lucas’ presence.“Something is going on in the Stormclaw pack,” Lucas informed us from behind my father’s desk. “Changes are being made and the guards protecting the mansion have been doubled… tripled… if I'm to go by what I'm hearing. We need to be certain.”My father glanced at me, seeking support, but I just shrugged. If he wanted to say something, he would have to say it with his own mouth.“How strong is the intel? This could be a trap

RyderI had no feeling when it came to Alexis— no anger, no pity. Nothing.The pathetic sight of her, shivering, did nothing to soften my resolve. I was going to get the truth out of her.“What did you do to Alim?” I repeated, signalling the guard to step forward.He replaced the empty bucket in my hand before returning to his spot.One heartbeat. Two. And I let the cold water drench her face once more, starting from her hair.Her mouth fell open again, screaming, and nearly leaping from the chair, but the guard behind her forced her back down.I crouched to meet her gaze, tilting her head up and pushing her wet hair away from her face to look into her eyes.“This could go on forever… your choice. It could also get more interesting, but I like to think of myself as a reasonable man. And I'm trying to reason with you. Tell me what I need to know and you'll get the rest you need… And maybe, food.”Alexis’s eyes darted around, desperate and frightened. Her body trembling. Her breaths cam

Sarah“How is he doing?” Ava asked as I entered the kitchen. She was sitting on one of the aisle stools, a cup in front of her. “Better,” I replied, dumping the content in my hand into the sink. “He has added some weight, which is good. But Ryder still wants to keep him under bedrest for a while longer.”Ava nodded in understanding but I could see she was preoccupied with something else.“And Ryder?” she asked absentmindedly.I arched a brow at her tone, leaning against the counter for support. When I said nothing, she looked up, her eyes searching mine.“What? I don't have an issue with Ryder. I love him… he is helping you and keeping us safe.”Her sarcasm wasn't lost on me. Ava had no love for Ryder and she couldn't be bothered to hide it. But recently, she has been civil when their path crossed, so I figured I could give her a break.I let out a long sigh, balancing my weight awkwardly on an empty stool. “He is stuck in bed with Alim, watching over the boy like a hawk. I'm glad I
