ALINA I felt more numb than I ever have. It hurt when Kai rejected me, but I was able to move on past it because I did not trust him to not hurt me. I didn't even know him well then. But I knew Xavier. I did like him, and I believed he liked me too. It was the closest I had come to anyone trying to get to know me and fall in love with me, and now he had betrayed me. Maybe I was as unlovable as everyone thought I was. No one could ever see me for me and fall in love with that. "Alina!" Kai's voice called out through the trees. I closed my eyes, hissing when I remembered that he had seen me when I left the cabin in tears. I did not want to talk to anyone. I needed to get as far away from anyone as I could. I heard his voice again, and I ignored him. I got up to my feet and started to run, my feet pounding against the ground as I ran deeper into the woods. I heard his footsteps behind me, faster and getting closer to me. “Alina, stop!” he called out, his voice closer now, filled with

KAI Alina’s quiet sobs filled the car as we drove back to the palace. Each one pierced through me like a knife. I kept glancing over at her, my heart tightening with every tear that rolled down her cheeks. I wanted to reach out, to comfort her somehow, but I knew any touch from me would only make it worse. The guilt was a heavy weight in my chest. I had caused her so much pain, and now I was dragging her back into my world again.“Alina… please,” I tried, my voice barely above a whisper. I knew she wouldn’t want to hear anything I had to say, but I had to try. “I know this is hard, but I promise, it’s going to be okay.”She turned her face away, pressing her forehead against the window, like she had been since. She didn’t respond, didn’t even look at me. Her shoulders were trembling with each sob, and I felt completely helpless. “I’m sorry,” I muttered, though I wasn’t sure if she could even hear me. “I wished there was some way I could make you feel better.” I did not know if speak

ALINAI spent the next three days locked in my room. I heard several attempts multiple times the day of the people in the palace trying to get me to open the door, but I did not want to. I wanted to stay alone, to wallow in the pain, because thinking of interacting with someone when I was hurting this much sounded like hell to me. I didn’t eat or drink, and barely moved from the bed. I felt numb, hollow, like a shell of myself. Sometimes, I felt like I was just a soul in a vessel that I referred to as my body.I was too weak to stand up unless I wanted to use the toilet, which I eventually stopped going to because I was not ingesting anything. But today seemed to be the end and they have finally had enough of me isolating myself like this. I heard the door being unlocked, and the door creaked open. I heard soft footsteps approaching. I knew it was Kai. As he towered over me, I felt a familiar elective buzzing between us.“Alina,” he said quietly, his voice filled with concern. I didn’

KAI I almost did not believe the sight in front of me as Alina slumped down and lost her consciousness. I carried Alina in my arms as fast as I could, my heart hammering in my chest. Her skin was pale, and her breathing was shallow. I took her out of the room and rushed her down to the clinic. Fuck me… I should not have made her angry like that. I shouldn’t have upset her like that especially not when she had not eaten for three fucking days. I pushed through the doors of the pack clinic when I arrived, and the nurses quickly sprang into action, rushing over with a stretcher. I laid her down carefully, my chest closing in with fear. “We need to take her in right away,” one of the nurses said, her voice urgent. “You’ll have to wait outside, Alpha.”I nodded, swallowing hard. I didn’t want to leave her, but I knew I had no choice. I watched as they wheeled her away, disappearing down the hallway. The door swung shut, and I was left standing there, feeling utterly helpless. I paced ba

ALINA I woke up after a while with my body feeling heavy and sluggish. I blinked a few times, trying to focus on my surroundings. The room was dimly lit, and I felt the weight of something pulling on my arms. I looked down and saw that I was hooked up to several IV drips. I could even see a bag of blood hanging on one of the drips, and the other one was just clear liquid. I felt weak, my head throbbing with a dull ache. A wave of nausea rolled over me, and I swallowed hard, trying to keep it down. Everything felt wrong, my body felt too heavy and the energy felt too strange. I tried to sit up, but my arms felt like lead. I closed my eyes for a moment as I tried to regain myself back but nothing was working. My brain felt too sluggish and slow. In the end, I just kept my eyes shut. Suddenly, the door creaked open, and I heard footsteps. I turned my head slowly and saw Kai stepping into the room. My entire body tensed, my pulse quickening. He was carrying a bowl and the smell of savou

KAI Taking care of Alina became my priority. It was what I thought about when I woke up and when I went to sleep. She had taken up every one of my thoughts, and I did not know if I liked it. The risk of falling in love was one I never thought I would want to take. I was giving her my all, and she was prone to do whatever she wanted with the power. She could easily destroy me, which was why I knew I had to be careful. I could not let go of the main goal here, which is the throne of the Seven Isles. The lords and elders of the pack have been breathing down my neck, wanting to have a meeting with me. I have always told them I was busy but today, I knew I had to meet them. They were losing patience, and I felt too bad for making them wait this long for me to just speak to them. So after I woke up today and checked on Alina, who was sleeping peacefully in her room, I decided to talk to them. When I arrived at the conference room, I could hear chatter coming from the inside. They sounde

ALINAThe doctor had been stunned by how quickly I’d recovered. Just hours ago, I’d been weak and pale, barely able to sit up, and now I felt almost normal. The lingering ache in my body had lessened, and I could feel strength returning to my limbs. The doctor told me it was a miracle, but I didn’t feel miraculous. I felt restless. I did not know how the hell I was able to heal in such a little time when I did not have a wolf. I always knew I was abnormal. I was an anomaly and there were a lot of strange things about me. This was one of the mysteries surrounding me that I did not seem to understand. “Your body seems to be healing faster than we expected,” the doctor said as he checked my temperature and vitals, his eyes wide with surprise. “But you need to take it slow, for the baby. Start with short walks around the palace to regain your strength and please finish your food whenever it is served to you. I have sent your meal plan to the cooks and even the portions are going to be mo

KAI I paced outside Maria’s door, my mind racing. I couldn’t remember the last time I had come to her room—usually, I’d just call for her to come to me. But today was different. Today, I didn’t have the answers. I needed help. I needed advice, and Maria was the only one I could think of who might actually know what to do. I took a deep breath and knocked. A moment later, the door creaked open, and there she was—my younger sister, with her long black hair tied back in a messy bun and that faint scar running along her cheek, a reminder of one of her horse training sessions that had gone wrong years ago.“Kai?” She blinked in surprise, her eyes widening slightly. “What are you doing here? You never come to my room.”I gave her a tight smile, trying to keep my nerves in check. “Yeah… I figured it was about time I broke that habit.”Maria raised an eyebrow, clearly amused. “Well, come on in. You look like you’ve got something on your mind.”She stepped aside, allowing me to enter. Her ro

Four years laterALINA Years had passed, and life in the pack had settled in a way I had never imagined. As I stood in my bakery, gazing out the window and watching children run around, a warm smile played on my lips. It was one of those beautiful, crisp autumn mornings when the sunlight filtered through the trees, casting soft golden shadows across the cobblestones. My heart felt light, a rare but cherished feeling I’d come to treasure over time. My life had felt unreal for the past years. My two children, Kian and Liana, were heading off to school for the first time today. The thought made me emotional, but it also made me proud. Watching them grow up reminded me of just how far we’d come. With a sigh, I turned back to the bakery, smoothing my apron. The smell of freshly baked bread, warm spices, and sweet pastries filled the room. I had opened the bakery and bookshop a few years ago, not long after my children were born. It had quickly become one of the most beloved spots in the

ALINA It was my wedding day, and I was bursting with a mix of excitement and nerves. I sat in front of the mirror, my heart racing as my mother fluffed out the skirt of my dress, her hands gentle. I couldn’t believe this was finally happening. After everything Kai and I had been through, we were here, about to say our vows. It almost felt like a dream that I was going to be woken up from. I was so happy that it felt like there was an end to it. That I was just deluding myself by being happy. I glanced at my mother, her face calm and focused as she adjusted the veil atop my head.“You look beautiful, Alina,” she said, her eyes softening as she took a step back to admire me. Her voice was full of pride, and I could see a shimmer of emotion in her gaze. “You’re radiant.”I took a deep breath, feeling my nerves intensify. “Mom, I’m nervous,” I confessed, fidgeting with the lace on my dress. “What if something goes wrong?”She chuckled softly, placing a comforting hand on my shoulder. “Ev

KAI I did not know how I managed to make the witches come on my side, but I did. I knew that they were crucial in my plan of getting the skin walkers away from my pack, but I did not think they would come around in just one meeting. All of this really happened because of Alina’s mother. If she had not been around, I did not know if I was going to be able to get them but now I did and I was the happiest about it. I felt bad that I tried to sabotage her coming here in the first place. Since time had passed and I saw that there was a visible bad account of her being in the pack, I was grateful. Everyone found out that maybe witches were not that bad after all. We have been told the bad news about them all of the time by our parents, but maybe it was just because they hated them and they were trying to push that hate onto us too. Maybe that was the reason. Or maybe we have not yet seen the bad part of having witches around us, and I hoped that it was not going to happen any time soon.

Chapter 80ALINA The merging of the Seven Isles, the Waterstone Pack, and Blackstone Pack had finally come together smoothly, though it hadn’t been an easy process. Months of strategizing, deliberating, and forging alliances had brought Kai to this moment. It was the best three months of my life. Having my mother and Kai beside me through all of this was something I didn’t even know I deserved.I was so happy for the first time in my life. It felt like I did not even deserve everything that has been going on. The packs were now unified, and as a result, they were stronger against their common enemy—the skin walkers. The witches, with me have strategized the way we are going to kill them. My mother had been a good help. She had a lot of experience so she was helping all of us. She was a great teacher. Kai was glad that I had brought her back to life now, and so are the elders and lords. She had been great help. If she didn’t come back, then we would have all been dead by now. The ski

Chapter 79KAII was panicking. The entire night I spent pacing back and forth, replaying everything that had happened between Alina and me. The way her eyes had looked so hurt when I didn’t defend her, the way she stormed out with her mother—angry and disappointed. And now, she hadn’t come back. I gave her the night, thinking maybe she just needed some space, but when she didn’t return the next morning, panic surged through me.What did I even expect sending her out? Of course she wouldn’t be back trying to beg me to come back in the palace. That wasn’t the type of person she was. And it was all my damn fault. I couldn’t focus on anything else. I had a meeting scheduled with the new elders I appointed at the Black Water Pack, but my mind was elsewhere—on her. Even as I sluggishly got ready, everything felt out of sync. When I finally made my way into the meeting room, I could tell everyone was already waiting, but I couldn’t muster the energy to care. My thoughts were consumed by A

ALINA I couldn’t shake the feeling of betrayal gnawing at my heart as I walked away from the palace with my mother by my side. The sting of Kai’s rejection, the way he hadn’t backed me in front of Aunt Arya weighed heavy on my chest. I’d expected him to stand by me, to protect me like he always had, but instead, he chose fear over love.After all, I did. I risked my mother’s life and mine to save him from the skinwalkers. I was a newbie witch so I possibly could not do all of that. But my mother helped me siphon magic from some of the artifacts that contained magic. She told me that it could kill me, doing that, but I still went ahead to do it because I could not stand Kai getting hurt when there was something I could do about it. How he had driven me out of his house simply because of something he saw, not knowing that my mother was trying to wield back strength after what I went through while killing the white walkers. As we made our way through the winding streets, the evening ai

KAI A day had passed, but the events of yesterday still weighed heavily on my mind. Alina’s mother—brought back from the dead. The skin walkers. The power Alina wielded was undeniable but dangerous. Even with everything going on around me, I could not help but feel like it was all a dream, yet the growing unease I felt was very real. I knew I had to talk to someone about it, and Lily was the only one who could help me make sense of this chaos.When I found her in the meeting room, I didn’t waste any time. “Lily,” I began, running a hand through my hair, “something happened yesterday… something big.”She looked up from her notes, sensing the tension in my voice. “What happened? Is everything okay?”I shook my head, taking a seat across from her. “Alina brought her mother back from the dead using magic. Can you even believe it?”Lily’s eyes widened in disbelief. “What? How? I mean, I know she’s a witch, but… bringing someone back from the dead? That’s ancient, forbidden magic. If not

KAI Alina was gone for a few hours and I was growing more anxious by the second. She had left without a word of where she was going and the longer I searched, the more desperate I became. I took a team of guards with me, scouring the pack and the outskirts of the pack’s border.I had to find her. I couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t right, that something was terribly wrong. The feeling had been there for a while. I knew people wanted to kill her. A lot of them, and the longer she was out the more chances there are that someone that hated her saw her and hurt her. I couldn’t handle the sinking feeling at my stomach. A while after we had searched all the possible places, I decided to go out of the pack with a few guards. I knew it was a death sentence. I was putting my guards and myself in danger, but I needed to find her. I hated that she was the reason I had to do all of this. I hated that she put me in a spot like this, to fight and put myself in impossible situations

KAI I woke up with a heavy weight on my chest, the reality of Alina’s situation pressing down on me. She was in danger, and the whispers in the pack court were growing louder. I couldn’t shake the fear that her name would be dragged through the mud simply because of her association with me. As I prepared for the day, I felt a determination building within me—I needed to clear her name.The next morning, I entered the pack court, and the atmosphere felt charged. Conversations hushed as I walked in, eyes following my every move. I could feel the weight of their judgment. When I took my seat, the court was soon filled with a mix of members, including farmers and lords. The first to speak was a farmer who looked distraught.“My daughter is dead!” he cried, his voice breaking with emotion. “She was taken from us by the skin walkers. We’ve lost too many of our kin. We can’t keep living like this!”My heart ached for him. “I’m sorry for your loss. We will take measures to protect our pack f
