Author's POV:Gemini was on cloud nine, knowing that this time, her plan had finally made it to the end and that too with flying colours. Not only had she managed to turn Alpha Blackwood against her biggest rival, but had also managed to get her Dad back on her side… and the best thing in all this was that finally, Asher was going to be entirely hers.And there would be no one who'd ever dare to come near anything that belonged to her. This thought was enough to make her so happy from the core that she was humming and strolling near the balcony, even though it was already past midnight. Just then, she suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder and panic crawled down to the base of her spine.Whirling around, she quickly took a look at the person standing behind her, and a soft scream left her mouth. “Gosh! Mom! You scared me so bad–”“I am sorry my darling, I was just here to ask you something.”Tessa showed no more reaction to Gemini's shocked expressions. Hearing her words, Gemini lowe
Fynn's POV:Kai had cut my call. With that brief sentence, he had ended the conversation, and my head felt like it was splitting open because of these endless loops which my thoughts were swirling in. I had handed Kai a list of every single one of my sins, confessed everything over the phone… and he had cut me off. And the longer I spent thinking about it, the more I felt like I was losing my mind. Neither my heart, nor my brain was ready to cooperate with me. My legs were shaking and shivering like leaves caught in a storm, threatening to give out from under me… like I might collapse at any moment. I felt my pulse spiking as a shadowy figure appeared in the corridor, marching straight towards me. I blinked, trying to clear the haze from my mind, and then I saw it: someone identical to my own cursed self, yet someone who was standing on the completely opposite side of morality. He had come. Fear shot through my body, I didn't even realize how long I had spent in this comatose s
Kai's POV: The night felt like it would stretch on forever. I had spent most of the night travelling to Camden Falls, and it was already four o'clock by the time I’d reached the hospital… I could only imagine how Fynn must have managed. Fynn and I had been taking turns checking on Vienna after she came out of surgery, but every second was dragging painfully. It had been almost five hours since she had been shifted to a private room, but she hadn't woken up yet. In spite of the reassurances from the medical staff, my heart wasn't willing to settle. Fynn and I were sitting silently on the bench outside her room– both desperate for reassurance, yet too tense to voice our unspoken fears to each other. Words felt useless, so we clung to each other’s presence as the only comfort we had. After five hours of this tense, torturous stillness, Fynn finally spoke up, his voice hoarse. “I’ll get us some coffee, yeah?” He murmured and I nodded, although sleep was far from our reach.
Author's POV:Alpha Darius Blackwood was strolling from left to right in the lobby, waiting for Asher to come back with the news he wanted to hear since last night… because there ain't any way he was going to accept his defeat that easily.When he hadn't even started playing yet! Because even if that cunning girl was saying the truth and Vienna had indeed eloped with her mates, he still had the plans to turn everything back in his favour. As someone who had been the reigning Alpha of the Obsidian pack for most of his life and had been trained for this position since his birth; Darius Blackwood knew the art of getting the ball in his court, till the time the ball was still in his sight. And if, for some reason, the ball was about to vanish from his sight… then he would make sure to make it disappear from everyone's sight as well.After all, no one deserved to get what he couldn't have! As for the things that he wanted, no one was allowed to even sneak a look in its direction. This
Vienna's POV:The faint hum of the machines around me was the first thing I noticed as I stirred back into consciousness. My eyelids felt heavy, but I forced them open. The chair to my right was empty, and that could only mean one thing: Kai had stepped out to get something.I didn’t need to ask him to know that. Even though I've been returning to consciousness only faintly before slipping back under… I knew that both of them had been there, right by my side. Somehow, I had always felt their presence– as steady as a heartbeat, even in my unconscious state. The only time either of them had left my side was when it was for absolutely urgent reasons. I turned my head slightly, and noticed Fynn standing on the left side of the room. I blinked against the bright sunlight pouring in through the window, filtering in with a soft shimmer. My vision adjusted, and Fynn’s tall figure caught my eye again. He was completely engaged in the conversation with the doctor. Although they were speaki
Vienna's POV:Fynn's words reached me after a pause, but even that small duration of time was enough to completely flip his tone and the emotions playing in his heart. "I know it wasn’t your fault, Vienna… it was never your fault, it wasn't even Kai’s fault In fact, all the mistakes are on my end. I am the dumbest person alive, who hasn't just messed things up completely, but now that it is already late… still, it is taking me a lot of effort to accept my fault." I opened my mouth to protest, to tell him it wasn’t true. I remembered exactly how distraught he was when he first came to save me, and I wanted to comfort him, rid him of his guilt, just do anything which I had been too weak to do then. Seeing the heartbroken expression on his face, I felt myself pausing for a second, and before I could utter a single word, he held up his hand, stopping me gently. "Let me speak first, just this once." His voice was soft but firm, carrying the weight of emotions he had probably buried i
Kai's POV:I returned to Vienna’s hospital room with steady steps, holding a small bag with the supplies the doctor had mentioned. But as I reached the doorway, I froze. Through the partially open door, I saw that Vienna was awake… Fynn and her were sitting together and talking to each other. So they were finally talking to each other, at least. This was at least the start of closing the misunderstandings that had formed this chasm between them. Relief washed over me so strongly that I almost dropped the bag in my hand. Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes, imagining how much easier Fynn would be able to breathe now, that the weight of that guilt had been pushed off his chest. I wanted to walk in, but I didn’t want to intrude on their conversation. And yet, I couldn’t make myself step away either. This was everything I always wanted , but when it was finally happening, then I don't know why… why I was getting a little uneasy… and the fear of missing something very crucial kep
Author's POV:The Belmont household had been unusually calm since the party at the Alpha's farmhouse. Without the unwelcome presence that had previously cast a shadow over their lives, things seemed almost idyllic. Orion felt lighter than he had in weeks, thanks to Tessa's newfound sweetness toward him. Meanwhile, Gemini floated around the house as if she were walking on clouds, and Orion’s improved mood only bolstered the household’s harmony. It was barely six in the morning when a sudden, relentless banging echoed through the halls, shattering the tranquility. Orion, already awake and nursing a cup of coffee, frowned as he went to the door. Swinging it open, his eyes widened in shock. Standing before him were Alpha Darius Blackwood and his Beta, Asher, flanked by a group of stern-looking guards. “A-Alpha?” Orion stammered, his voice thick with confusion. “Is something wrong?Why are you suddenly here? Is something wrong? Do you want something? Is there something I can help with?”D
Fynn’s POV:He thought I was going to spare him.Axel’s breaths came fast, ragged, as he stared into my eyes… still crouched beneath me, bloody and broken. That sick glimmer of hope danced in his gaze, but it was too late. Too much had been said. Too much had been done.You don’t threaten my family and walk away breathing. And if he hoped to manipulate me by dangling a secret like poison over my head, Axel was only proving what an idiot he was. Nothing he said would ever be enough to stop me. My jaws hovered over his neck, lips curled back, my breath ragged with fury. Every muscle in my body trembled, screaming for release. But before I could deliver the killing blow, a sharp pain tore through my left shoulder, hot and, brutal.I snarled and stumbled as fangs sunk into my flesh.Axel's Beta, Johnson.The bastard bit hard, grinding his jaw as if he could rip a chunk out of me. Pain exploded down my side, and blood oozed out between his teeth. But the pain only intensified my rage.I
Fynn's POV:I turned just in time to see the knife hit Kai.Everything in my brain went silent for a moment and I wasn't able to understand what I was feeling right now, was the pain Kai had to endure because of that knife or the fact that somehow knowingly or unknowingly, I was guilty behind everything that was happening right now.It lodged deep into his shoulder, with a force that was making his body jerk. His knees buckled slightly, but he managed to stay upright. My eyes followed the trail of blood that dripped down his back, and then I saw it—just a faint smear on the blade, but it was unmistakable. Vienna’s blood.She was also hurt.The same blade had nicked her arm moments ago, and now it was embedded in Kai. The realization hit me so hard I felt like I’d taken the knife to my own chest.My breath caught in my throat.For a second, all I could do was stare.Vienna stood a few feet away, her eyes wide, her mouth trembling, and her arm bleeding. She had risked everything to warn
Vienna's POV:“And now, I’ve returned for it!”Fynn’s voice cold, and resolute, spread through the chaos, triggering shouts in support of the Supreme Alpha. But for me, it felt like everything around me went completely still for a second… right before the storm hit. One of Axel’s guards surged forward with his blade raised, aiming straight for Fynn’s unprotected back. My heart lurched violently in my chest.No!The name tore from my throat with desperation as I bolted forward, Zeke clutched tightly in my arms.Fynn moved just in time, spinning around and catching the soldier’s arm mid-swing. Giving it a sharp twist– there was a loud crack and the guard screamed as he collapsed to the ground, writhing in pain. But another soldier was already creeping up behind Fynn, and I knew that with all his focus on Axel now. he wasn't going to see this one in time.My legs pumped faster, bare feet skimming over dirt and bloodied ground, heart thudding like thunder. Zeke held onto me with all h
Author's POV:The battlefield roared with chaos as steel clashed against claw, and the scent of blood thickened the air. The wolves of Azuremist fought with unyielding ferocity, their formation tested again and again by the relentless onslaught of Oasis soldiers. Growls and howls echoed through the valley, accompanied by the sickening crunch of bone and screams of pain.Kai moved like a shadow of death across the field, his massive black wolf form slicing through enemy ranks with merciless precision. His muscles flexed under his dark fur, his fangs flashing as he brought down a soldier, then twisted to throw another into the dirt. His paws were soaked with blood, but he didn’t stop—not even to breathe. Every fallen enemy was another step closer to protecting his mate and son.Fynn, meanwhile, fought in human form, standing tall amidst the violence, the commanding calm in the eye of the storm. His voice was sharp and steady as it rang through the mind link."Group B to the north side—r
Author's POV: Fynn saw Kai rushing out, having sensed that something was definitely not right.Because knowing Kai’s power and the strength of the Oasis pack, Kai shouldn't be worrying this much, as they could never match their strength in any way, so every situation should be under control.But this sudden departure of Kai, without him was making him extremely uneasy and it was becoming a little difficult for him to control his uneven breaths.Even though he could point what exactly was not feeling right in his head, still his heart was sure that it was the same feeling he had years back, when he was separated from everyone in the past.Because even if in his past he has been blaming both Kai and Enna for the mistakes they never did, he now has understood how big of an idiot he actually was and how he was the one at fault, while Kai has done his best to save him, search him and bring him back to the home, he has been snatched away from.And now when he has finally realised his mista
Gemini’s POV:The cold never left the dungeon walls. It seeped into my bones, even when the air outside burned with sunlight. Down here, it didn’t matter if it was summer or winter—misery had no seasons.I sat curled on the stone floor, my knees tucked to my chest, the iron cuffs weighing heavily on my wrists. The chains didn’t rattle anymore—I didn’t have the strength to pace, not like I used to. Not like I did when I first got thrown in here and thought this would all blow over soon.That was months ago.Now, I just waited. Waited for the sentence to be over. Or for someone to remember I existed.Funny, isn’t it? How fast things change.I used to think my life was difficult before—when Vienna was still in our house, hiding her pretty little smile and walking on eggshells around us. I had always felt like I was in her shadow despite being better than her. Always chasing after something I thought I deserved but could never reach. But when she left, when she finally disappeared from o
Kai's POV: “We… are… under… attack…” The moment the soldier gasped out those dreaded words, my instincts kicked in, before his body even hit the ground. My blood turned to fire. Not again… I was not losing my family again– not now,when I just got them back. I surged forward and caught him as he collapsed, but it was too late. The arrow in his back was already soaked in blood, the shaft slick and glistening. I gently laid him down, my hands clenched into fists. There was no need to ask questions about who had done this– of course, there was only one person who could be behind this dirty game… Axel. My wolf snarled inside me, furiously demanding to be unleashed. “Fynn!” I shouted, already turning toward the stairs. “We are under siege, initiate the lockdown protocol!" My fingers closed around the arrow in his back, yanking it free with a sickening crunch. "Send Beta Nobu for a perimeter check. Now.” Vienna stood in the hallway, clutching Zeke to her chest as she
Vienna's POV:I slowly became aware of my surroundings as I woke up, wrapped in a bundle of warmth and love. Kai’s arm was wrapped over my waist, while I could feel Fynn’s steady breathing against my back. At some point during my slumber, Zeke must have wandered into our room and climbed on top of me. His little body was curled into mine, his soft snores puffing against my collarbone. For the first time in three years, my heart didn’t ache as soon as I opened my eyes. Carefully, I turned on my side so Zeke slid gently onto the mattress, still fast asleep. I kissed his soft cheek, then turned to place a light kiss on Fynn’s jaw, then Kai’s. None of them even stirred a little, completely exhausted from the past few days. I smiled as I slid off the bed, padding barefoot across the floor and down the stairs, wrapping my face into a low bun so that it would stay out of my face. The kitchen was glowing in the golden afternoon light, since it had been early morning when we returned h
Author's POV:The morning dawned on the Oasis Pack like a pack of vultures. The air was heavy with tension, and inside the grand mansion, Alpha Axel stirred with a groan, clutching his temples. The wine from the previous night still lingered in his veins– it was lined with heavy sedatives that hwd put him to sleep. He blinked against the pale morning light, fury simmering just beneath the pounding in his skull.“That bastard,” he muttered.The gifted wine from his selection had knocked him unconscious the entire night, and this was no accident at all. "Bring Fynn to me!" he roared, kicking off the tangled furs. "NOW!" Two soldiers hurried to obey, disappearing before he could spit more venom. He paced the room, grabbing a nearby pitcher and dousing his face with cold water, trying to shake the ache from his mind. He was sure Fynn was behind this. That traitor. That worm.But when the soldiers returned, one of them hesitated before speaking.“Alpha… Master Fynn is no longer in the
