Dante’s POV

For over a week, I had been occupied with so much work in the pack that I barely had time to rest an arm.

All of this, I did on purpose as a way to distract myself from thinking about Amaya—her face and the way she glared as she yanked her hand away from me. I didn’t mean to hurt her.

“But you did,” Mako taunted.

“Shut up,” I snapped back. “It was a mistake, okay?”

“Whatever you say,” he grunted.

I sighed in frustration, running a hand through my hair before returning my attention to the files in front of me.

We had been taking in more rogue pups than usual, and it had been challenging to integrate them into our packs—worse, finding them a stable home since the orphanage was getting overcrowded.

It was already difficult scanning through each individual file, trying to stop myself from thinking about Amaya—yet here I was, also dealing with my beta sitting across from me, scrolling through his phone in complete silence.

Cyrus had been here for nearly an hour now, b

    Dante’s POV ~ Flashback When Cyrus and I first met, we weren’t exactly on good terms. He was the Beta’s son, a spoiled brat who thought the world revolved around him. I, on the other hand, was just a low-ranked trainee of a secret special force trying to survive. At thirteen, I had already learned that survival wasn’t a right—it was something you had to fight for. The training camp was brutal. We weren’t just taught to fight. We were taught to kill. I had my first kill at seven. I was just a child, barely strong enough to hold a weapon, but that didn’t matter. Kill or be killed. That was the only rule. By thirteen, I had already lost count of how many lives I had taken. One of our final tests was a hunt. We were sent into the forest with no weapons, forced to track and eliminate each other. Fifty of us went in. Only thirteen made it out, and I had a body count of seven. Some were strangers. Others had been my friends. But that didn’t matter. By then, I had learned

    Dante POV ~ Back to present “I ran into your wife last night.” Cyrus’s words made my body stiffen. “She was in the garden,” he continued, watching me carefully. “Alone. In the middle of the damn night. Looking like she could barely stand.” A growl rumbled deep in my chest, and Cyrus raised a brow. “Did you know about that?” My jaw clenched, and my hands rolled into fists. Of course, I didn’t know. Why the hell would she be out there alone? “She said she just wanted fresh air,” he added, crossing his arms. “But honestly? She looked sick. Really sick.” Sick? “How could she still be sick? Hadn’t she been taking her medicine?” I muttered, more to myself than to Cyrus. And where the heck were the guards when she left her room? “She’s not okay. We need to go to her,” Mako growled. But I ignored him… “I can’t answer that. All I can tell you is she’s not looking good. And keeping her here is only making things worse,” Cyrus said, and I scoffed. “Why do you all keep sa

    Suri POV My eyes widened as I saw Luna Amaya cough out blood, but I had to try my best to keep calm for her own sake. With her hands around me, I was able to guide her back to her room. I noticed she held her breath as we passed the guards, but as soon as we stepped in, she resumed coughing even more violently. I didn’t know what to do, but I quickly sat her down on her bed. She gripped my hand tightly as she coughed, leaving me with no choice but to watch her while thinking of my next move. After a minute or two, she calmed down just a little and finally let go of my hand. “Water,” she said in a weak voice. I nodded and rushed over to the table, pouring a glass of water from the pitcher that was sitting there. As I did, I noticed a red bruise around my wrist from how tightly she had gripped me. My heart ached. How much pain was she in to be holding on that tight? I shook the thought away, grabbed the glass, and rushed back to her side. “Here, Luna,” I said and g

    Suri POV “What’s your name again… Suri, right?” Kara said. It was just the two of us now, alone in the kitchen. I kept my head low and nodded. “You’ve been here for almost a month now. It seems you’ve gotten attached to the Luna. She must mean so much to you for you to defend her with so much passion,” she continued. I could feel her gaze studying me intently, and I didn’t dare to look up. “I’m simply doing my job. Then again, she’s been nothing but kind to me. I couldn’t just stand by and watch the other maids talk badly about her,” I muttered. “You know what? You are absolutely right. Even though Amaya’s father was… well, let’s just say, not the most honorable man, she shouldn’t have to suffer for his mistakes.” I smiled, but that quickly disappeared when she added— “But… you do realize how difficult you’re making things for yourself, don’t you?” she said, and I noticed the shift in her tone. I finally glanced up, looking at her, confused. “Difficult?” She smiled

    Amaya’s POV As soon as I returned to my room, I rushed to the bathroom and started throwing up in the toilet. I had forced myself to eat—not because I was hungry, but because I just couldn’t stand Dante’s presence. When I finished cleaning up, I stepped out of the bathroom and collapsed onto my bed, spreading my arms as I stared up at the ceiling. My body felt weak, drained from both the nausea and the exhaustion that never seemed to go away. “I can’t wait to leave,” I muttered and closed my eyes. The door creaked open, and I opened my eyes as Suri stepped in, holding a glass of water in one hand. “You look pale.” She muttered, closing the door behind her. “Did you throw up again?” I sighed. “What do you think?” She frowned, walking over and handing me the glass. I took a sip before setting it on the nightstand. “Have you heard anything from your friend Adam?” I asked, but she shook her head sadly. “You know the Nightshade Pack is very far from here. It would take a

    Amaya POV Three years in this pack after marrying Dante had been nothing but hell on earth for me. The people hated me, so leaving the pack house was almost never an option. Even inside, I found no peace. The maids took every opportunity to mistreat me, knowing I wouldn't complain. They would "accidentally" spill water on my clothes, whisper behind my back, and leave my food cold. Sometimes, they ignored me completely, treating me like I was invisible. Other times, they made sure I knew I was unwanted. But I never said a word. Although I knew if I did, Dante wouldn't hesitate to punish them. But then... it wouldn't be fair. Because deep down, I knew I deserved it. The hatred, the whispers, the cold stares—I had accepted them long ago. I was the daughter of a traitor, an enemy to their kind. No matter how much time passed, no matter how much I tried to be invisible, they would never let me forget it. And I didn't blame them. Not really. But then... Suri came

    Amaya POV The moment my lips crashed into his, his body stiffened at first, clearly caught off guard, but then he melted into the kiss, grabbing my waist and pulling me closer to him. I gasped as he deepened the kiss, struggling to breathe. When he pulled away to catch his breath, I looked up to meet his glowing red orbs. "What was that for?" His voice was hoarse, like he was trying to hold back. I opened my mouth, trying to come up with an excuse, but he shook his head. "No," he whispered. "Don't answer that." Saying that, he lifted me up and placed me on the edge of the desk. He held my chin up so I was forced to meet his burning gaze. "I don't care why you did it," he whispered close to my ear, causing me to shudder. "All I care about is that you did—and it's too late to back out now." He suddenly bit down on my earlobe, making me wince. I knew he was drunk, but damn it, why was he suddenly so good at this? My senses were getting overwhelmed. His lips mo

    Amaya POV “That’s dirty.” He didn’t listen. Instead, he groaned, moving his mouth faster and his tongue delving deeper. “But you taste so good,” he murmured. “Too much,” I whimpered. Right now, I was so sensitive, my legs twitched and my fingers gripped his hair, but even then, he still refused to let go. What the hell had gotten into him? “You can take it,” he said in a deep voice. “Let me take care of you, Amaya.” I shuddered at his words, gripping his hair tighter than I intended to. I wanted to push him away so badly, but my body was betraying me. Each time his tongue flicked over my sensitive spot, I clenched involuntarily around nothing, already missing the feeling of him inside me. Finally, he pulled away. Breathing heavily, I could see the trail of my fluid glistening on his lips, down to his chin. He slowly licked his lips, savoring the taste, and then he leaned in and kissed me, sliding his tongue into my mouth and allowing me to taste myself. When he pu

    Dante pov "Alpha Dante, you decided to join us today," Alpha Beckett said with a warm smile, gesturing to the empty seat across from Amaya.I offered a polite smile, my gaze sliding over her. "Well," I said calmly, "I figured it was time I stopped... avoiding things."Trying to avoid my gaze Amaya quickly looked down, stabbing at the piece of steak on her plate like it had insulted her ancestors. I watched her as she struggled with the cutlery, her hand slipping just enough to make her flinch.Before I could stop myself, my hand moved forward instinctively to help her.But Ryder beat me to it."Here," he said softly, reaching across to hold her plate and guide her hand.My hand froze midair and stayed at me with a confused expression.I gulped down nothing and my grand, my finger curling into a fist as I brought it back to my lap.The air in the room suddenly became uncomfortable. No one spoke after that, the only sound being the clicking of the cutlery and the faint scrape of glas

    Dante POVI couldn’t sleep.Not even for a second.Every time I closed my eyes, all I could see was Ryder cupping her chin and leaning in.It haunted me, and I hated it so much.I hated how he effortlessly made her smile, how she leaned into him like it was the most natural thing in the world.I knew I had no one to blame but myself.Still… I couldn’t stand the sight of her—or rather, the thought of what I saw.By the afternoon, I was restlessly pacing around like a caged wolf. I just needed to clear my head, get away from the image of her lips on his, so I was just walking aimlessly.The estate grounds were unusually quiet today. Most of the warriors were on patrol or at training, and for once, the silence felt like a gift.That was until I heard familiar voices… and then her scent.That smell of lavender and honey, now mixed with a strong spice.I froze, recognizing the other voice—and knowing she was with him. I could barely stand the thought of seeing them together again.I was ab

    Amaya POVRyder and I sat opposite each other on the bench just outside the estate. The afternoon sun had dipped low behind the trees, casting long shadows across the grounds, but neither of us seemed in a rush to leave.We hadn’t said a word since we sat down.The silence stretched between us like an invisible wall. It had been almost half an hour, and I couldn’t take it anymore.“So…” I started, fidgeting with my fingers. “Does he know?” I asked.He gave me a strange look, and I immediately groaned. “Okay, that was stupid. Of course he knows. It’s the mate bond…”He didn’t say anything, he just stared at the ground like it had all the answers he didn’t.“Why did you keep it a secret?” I asked softly.He sighed. “What do you think? My mate is a man and…” he hesitated, swallowing hard. “He doesn’t even seem interested.”That made my chest tighten in a way I didn’t expect.“But then you asked me out,” I said, more confused now. “Why would you do that if you already knew Cyrus was your

    Amaya POV “Targeted?” The word echoed in my head. I leaned forward in my seat, gripping the armrest. “By who?” “We don’t know that yet,” Alpha Beckett replied, “but based on the reports of what happened last night and statements from the others… it certainly seems that way.” I frowned. “I don’t understand.” He exhaled, then leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. “The others weren’t attacked the way you were. Briella, for instance—she said she chased down a rogue, but not once did it actually fight back. Instead, it led her in circles, then straight into a dead end where she got trapped.” “Wait… what?” My brows furrowed. “The pattern repeats,” he continued. “The others shared similar stories. Light attacks, easy escapes, nothing too serious.” I swallowed hard, my throat suddenly becoming dry. “But you…” he looked at me, “you were ambushed. Not by one. By nearly a dozen rogues. Some of them came from directions no one else had encountered. It’s almost like… they w

    Amaya’s POV“What are you doing?” I mumbled, confused as Ryder’s thumb brushed against my bottom lip. Especially when he leaned in and pressed his lips on the side of his thumb.My brow furrowed and I blinked a few times.Ryder’s eyes snapped open, and he casually leaned back, clearing his throat. “Dante was looking,” he said, and my stomach dropped.“What?” My head snapped to the door. There was no one there now, but it didn’t take a genius to realize what had just happened. “You… pretended to kiss me?”“Technically, I did kiss something,” he replied, trying to make a joke out of it.“Ryder,” I said flatly, and he held his hands up.“Relax, I didn’t mean anything by it,” he said.I stared at him for a second, then repeated, “You pretended to kiss me because you saw Dante watching?”He didn’t respond right away, which annoyed me a little.I shifted on the bed and set the fruit bowl aside. “Do you realize how messed up that is?”“I was only proving a point,” he said, quieter now. “He n

    Dante’s POV Amaya’s wolf was back? I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw her shift. It was the first time I had ever seen her in her wolf form, and for a moment, I genuinely thought I was dreaming. There was no way this was real. But then she growled—and not just any growl. It was deep, commanding, terrifying… and somehow beautiful. If I wasn’t an Alpha myself, I probably would’ve been on my knees. She was twice the size of a normal wolf. Her white fur shimmered like moonlight kissed it, and her presence alone was enough to make the surrounding rogues hesitate. I watched her take down two rogues in under a minute. Her moves were brutally efficient, like she had been doing this her whole life. The third rogue didn’t even try to fight, it just ran. Then she turned to me. Our eyes met as I stared at her now-glowing blue eyes, and for a moment, I forgot everything else. I was so lost I didn’t even realize the fourth rogue was still standing and was now slinking toward her.

    Amaya’s POV The rogues crept closer, their growls vibrating in my ear. “Cut me down,” I whispered harshly to Dante. “Do you want me to draw more attention to us?” he hissed, his gaze shifting from wolf to wolf. He had his blade out, his body angled protectively around me. But there were four of them, and I could already smell more in the distance. Then one lunged at us. Dante met it mid-air, clashing his blade against the rogue’s jaw. Another rogue darted toward me, but Dante was already at my side, blocking the third one with his forearm. He didn’t look shaken by the blow. He growled and slammed his sword into its chest. Three rogues. He was handling three rogues. Wanting to help, I tried to reach out for my belt, praying the dagger strapped to my thigh hadn’t fallen off, but my eyes widened as I spotted the fourth rogue. It wasn’t moving. It was just standing there, staring straight at me with a grin on its lips. Like it was toying with me. Watching me dangle—helple

    Amaya POV I took in a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves as I recalled everything I’d learned up till now. “In situations like this, the last thing you want to do is panic,” Ryder had told me once. “The next… is to listen.” So I listened. I focused on the silence, let the cool air fill my lungs. I gripped my sword tighter and started moving forward carefully, step by step. That’s when I heard sudden footsteps heading right in my direction. My ears twitched and my instinct kicked in. The next rule Ryder had drilled into me came rushing back. “Find a safe place to hide. Then wait. Then strike.” I darted behind a thick tree, crouched low, clutching my sword so tight my knuckles turned white. My heart was pounding in my chest, but I kept my breathing steady. Just like I was taught. Then… I saw movement. A shadow passed me, and without wasting a second, I jumped out with a yell, raising my sword—ready to strike. But I didn’t even get the chance. A hand caught my wrist mid-ai

    Amaya POV “You cry really loud for someone who just volunteered as tribute.” I gasped with a startled breath. I whipped my head around, tear-streaked cheeks and wide eyes, only to find Briella lounging upside down on my reading chair. One leg dangled over the backrest, a book in her hand and a lollipop in her mouth. She didn’t even look up from the book. “What the hell are you doing here?” I asked, sitting up and aggressively wiping the tears from my face with the back of my hand. “How… how long have you been sitting there?” Briella finally looked up, popping the sweet out of her mouth. “Long enough,” she said, and casually set the book aside. “So… what are you doing here?” I asked. She sat up now, swinging her legs over the side of the chair. Knowing Briella, she never showed up unless she needed something or had something to say. Briella was many things, but silent company wasn’t one of them. “It’s about the mission,” she finally said. I knew it. I crossed my arms.
