Caleb pov I haven't moved from Melissa's bedside in three days. My sweet little mate lay unnaturally still, silver burns marring her skin even in human form, her usually vibrant presence in our bond reduced to a faint flutter. "Fight," I whispered, pressing my forehead to her limp hand. "Please
Beth pov Every morning, I followed the same routine. After feeding Liam, I would make my way to the infirmary where Melissa lay still and silent. Caleb would be there, of course - he barely left except when an alpha ordered him to rest. But he would give me private time with my friend, understandi
Beth pov I was in the middle of my usual morning update, Liam creating his daily moonlight patterns beside Melissa's bed, when I felt it - a strengthening in our pack bond, like a radio signal finally cutting through static. "Melissa?" I whispered, gripping my friend's hand tighter. Through ou
Jasmine pov I was walking home when I ran into my mate and I was excited till he kissed a girl in front of me. She looked gutted and sobbed, knowing we were mated. You can tell when mates cross paths it is literally in the air. The smell changes for both wolves. I felt so much anger and pain.
Kaiden pov She drove off, and I felt my heart crack at the tears running down her cheeks. Jasmine was a gorgeous woman, but I was head over heels for Cecilia. We met at twelve and at thirteen realized we loved each other. We have been together ever since, and once we hit eighteen, we realized we w
Kaiden pov The private investigator found her, and I almost raced out the door to bring her back. "Sir, she looks awful," he says, handing over pictures. "Where is her apartment?"I ask, looking through the pictures of her. "She is on a lower level apartment two b. She has an elderly lady try
Kaiden pov I watch her as she sits there looking awful. The Jasmine I see now is nothing compared to the woman who left five months ago. She lost a significant amount of weight and looked like she cried all the time. She had huge bags under her eyes, and those gorgeous eyes were bloodshot. "Are
Kaiden pov I got to see my mate naked, and I feel so guilty she looks way too thin. She got more bruises on different areas of her body, making me angry, but I can't show it. I growled earlier, and she got scared. "Kaiden, I'm cold," she whispers, shaking. "Almost done, sweets," I say, stepp

Beth pov I never saw the attack coming. I was walking the garden path with Liam in his pram, enjoying the morning air while Melissa patrolled nearby. Mywolf sensed the danger a split second too late as Serena burst from the concealing foliage, already half-shifted and wielding silver-coated claws.
I paced my father's study in Pine Valley territory, my wounded pride festering into something dangerous. The memory of Alex's rejection, of Beth's silver-touched power, burned like acid in my veins. "How dare they?" I snarled, my wolf pushing close to the surface. "That human thinks she can humili
Alexander pov The alliance meeting had gone well until Serena Blake, daughter of the Pine Valley Alpha, cornered me in Kaiden's office. Beth, returning from putting Liam down for his nap, felt the spike of anger through our mate bond before she heard the voices. "Think about it, Alex Matthews,"
Beth pov The pack gathering was in full swing, celebrating Caleb's recovery and official integration into Fireside and Paw packs. I sat in a quiet corner, nursing Liam while watching the festivities. My eyes kept drifting to Alex, surrounded by a group of unmated she-wolves who seemed to have forg
Caleb pov I woke slowly, my wolf stretching contentedly as the last traces of silver poisoning faded from my system. The first thing I saw was Melissa, slumped uncomfortably in a chair beside my bed. My heart clenched at her appearance – dark circles under her eyes, hair unwashed, wearing the same
Melissa pov I hadn't left Caleb's side for hours, her fingers intertwined with his as I monitored every flutter of his eyelids, every change in his breathing. Through our mate bond, I could feel his wolf fighting - battling against the lingering effects of silver poisoning, struggling to heal woun
