Dante POV ~ Flashback

I hid behind the bush, trying to control my breathing as my heart pounded in my chest like I had just fought a war.

Cyrus was staring down at me, blinking in confusion. “Now, what are you doing?”

Before I could respond, I heard Amaya’s voice.

“What is it now? Have you come to annoy me again?” Her voice sounded like that of an angel—sweet and melodious but also filled with irritation, like she was already used to Cyrus being a pain in her ass.

From my hiding spot, I could barely see her face between the leaves, but I knew she was standing just a few feet away.

I shook my head frantically at Cyrus, mouthing, Don’t you dare say anything.

But he raised a brow and looked at me like he was clearly enjoying this.

“Who’s there?” Amaya asked, and I froze.

Cyrus glanced down at me, smirked, then turned back to her.

“No one.”

“I swear I heard something.”

Cyrus shrugged. “You’re just hearing things. Maybe you should get your ears checked.”

I heard her scoff as

    Dante's POV ~ Flashback For the next few days, Cyrus and I spent most of our time together at the pack's training grounds. Most of what I taught him was combat skills. He was a quick learner, I had to admit. For someone who was a year younger than me, he picked up moves fast, and soon he was landing punches and kicks with ease. Then, after two years, he could actually pin me down. Just once, actually, but he wouldn't let me live it down. I didn’t mind, though. He kept his promise and told me everything he knew about Amaya. He told me her favorite books, food, and even her favorite music. He told me about her talent for singing and painting. She sang so well that,even though she was just ten years old, she already had a large fanbase and would hold her own little concerts. One day, while we were training, we got an unexpected guest. Amaya came to the training ground with two guards behind her. And even in a simple sundress, she still carried herself with confidence. "I

    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 saying that? You of all peo

    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

    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, reaching for a nap

    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.

    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 into my l

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 moved from m

    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 p

    Amaya POV My eyes fluttered open the next morning as rays from the morning sun hit my face. To my surprise, I found Dante lying next to me, still sound asleep. Knowing Dante, whenever we had sex, he never waited until the next morning. He was gone before I woke up, even though it was his bedroom. Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, I thought to myself, staring at him as his chest rose and fell. Memories of last night flashed in my mind—the sweet words, the soft kisses, and the rough yet intimate sex. If only he was always like that. Was it so difficult to treat me like I actually mattered? Not wanting him to wake up and find me by his side, I tried to slip out of bed, but the moment I moved, I felt his arm tighten around me. I froze, feeling his bare chest against my back and his steady breathing against my skin. Damn it. If I forced my way out, he would wake up. And if he woke up, I would have to face him. I didn’t want to. I tried to carefully lift his arm jus
