MELISSA’S POV

I sat down at the kitchen table, feeling the weight of the day pressing heavily on my shoulders. My laptop was open in front of me, the screen filled with the medical research I was reviewing for Michael’s treatment plan. Every few minutes, I’d jot down notes, my mind working through the complexities of his condition. The house was quiet, the only sound being the occasional giggle or thump from the twins playing in their room. It was peaceful for the first time in what felt like forever, and I allowed myself a brief moment of calm. The confrontation with Susie earlier still lingered in my mind, though. Her words, the threat against my boys, had set something off inside me that I hadn’t been able to shake. Even now, I could feel my wolf pacing, restless, protective.

I closed my eyes and leaned back in my chair, massaging my temples. I had to focus. Michael needed me to focus. The boys needed me to be strong. I didn’t have the luxury of falling apart, not now.

    Sam's POVMy life has been entirely upended by the past 24 hours.I've always had such confidence in myself and my identity. How could I not be an Alpha, after all? I may not be the best leader or the strongest Alpha on the continent, but I've never had to be either.I was raised understanding my role in the larger order and have only ever needed to be a good leader for my pack. Wolves like Knox and Blaise Denizen may make me appear weak, but they are not your typical Alphas. Knox has a good chance of becoming as well-known as Denizen, who is almost godlike.I will never be able to compete at their level, but the fact remains I'm strongerthan every last member of my pack,which numbers in the thousands.I'd wager I'm even stronger than the shifters in the Nova pack. I've seen Knox's Betas in battle often enough to estimate their skill - it would be a close fight,but I'm relatively certain I would come out on top.Certain, the same way I was certain I was in love with Melissa.

    It's finished.Melissa was marked by Knox. He is aware that the puppy is his.All of my best efforts, the money and resources I've squandered, and the effort I've put forth to keep them apart have been in vain. This partner will be stronger than ever because of Knox. His spirits won't be weakened by distractions, sadness, or grief. He'll have more motivation to fight, if anything. Now he has something to defend.I am utterly high and dry because Arabella has run away to the Calypso pack. My mother is the only ally I have left, and she serves primarily as a symbol. She started the conspiracy after Uncle Gabriel killed my father, intent on our family to have revenge and to see me take my rightful position as Alpha.She sent me to the best schools, found shifters to train me in one on one combat and battle strategy; she gave me all the tools I needed to succeed. She even set me on track to get a job that would permanently put me in Durand's orbit.As far as she was concerned, her part co

    Knox's POVWhen I eventually get Melissa out of bed, I pull Tyler's fat limbs away from our bodies and slip out from under the blankets, her eyes glimmering with barely controlled emotion. I pull the bedroom door close and carry my partner into the living room, tossing her over my shoulder.I jump on Melissa and lay her down on the large sofa, draping my body over hers and enjoying the sensation of her exposed skin against mine. Even though I know the Goddess made us specifically for one another, I'm always in awe of how well our bodies mesh.My hips were made to rest in the cradle of her thighs,and even though her smallsize sometimes makes me feel like some sort of giant, her little form fits so snugly in my arms I could happily carry her forever. And that's not to mention the glove-like embrace of the sleek channel I'm about to bury myself in.“What if she wakes up?" Melissa whispers in between kisses, her hands trailing over every inch of my body. She's exploring me as if she's af

    Melissa's POVOn Mondays, the cafe is closed, but when Knox and I get there, the lights are already on and the smell of roasting meat fills the air. "You gave someone my keys?" I ask, my stomach growling in response, and I gaze up at my friend bewildered.He waggles his lips, "Just Donavon."I should have guessed. Donavon has always been an excellent chef who creates new recipes and meals whenever he can."Oh," I say as I unwind and greet the Beta.A disembodied voice returns mygreeting, and then Donavon's head pops around the corner, his shoulder-length salt and pepper hair pulled into a ponytail. “Dinner is just about ready-ten more minutes and I'll be out of your hair."I from,feeling uncomfortable that the older man should be waiting on us.Knox reads my expression and chuckles,"don't worry,he volunteered."He assures me, "And it's not just for us,he's packing up boxes to take to the apartment.""Oh good,"I relax a little,looking around the familiar space.

    Knox's POVI leave the cafe after just a few steps before I decide to turn around. I have been avoiding confrontation with Melissa by tip-toeing around all night, but I am at my breaking point. I don't want to frighten my partner. I have a right to be upset, but I don't want to set her off and cause her to have a PTSD attack. In addition, fights are distressing. If you can't communicate your feelings for fear of hurting someone else, you can't have one in all honesty.Melissa jumps when the door skims back open, the bell hanging above it jingly wildly.

Melissa squeaks, eyeing me warily.“How long before you left did you know you were pregnant?" I demanded. My mate immediately drops her head, unable to meet my gaze.

    Melissa's POVOh Goddess, why did I just say that?At the time, it seemed like a decent idea. My fire ignited with a vengeance as Knox watched me with that predatory glimmer in his eye. After just one glance, I exploded, my body engulfed in flames of passion that drove all rationality out of my mind.Luna overcame me, ordered me to say whatever it took to get him to claim me, and persuaded me that I needed him more than I needed oxygen. As if he wasn't already furious enough, I just questioned him and told him that he hadn't fulfilled his role as my partner.I regretfully tell Luna that I didn't have to agitate him because he was going to rut me anyhow.Yes you did, his wolf needs this and so do I she insists.She's right, I realize, and she's not alone in her desires.

    Melissa's POV"What?" Unable to think of anything else to say, I ask. Knox sighs, "I've been gone too long."And so have you." He adds sharply. I realize all of a sudden that he must have abandoned everything to come here. I'm not sure how he handled the several duties he had in Elysium. While he's been busy pursuing me around Asphodel, who has been leading the pack? The council?Next How did none of this happen to me earlier? Living in different cities makes it difficult for us to be together. As soon as I allowed Knox to claim me, I most likely consented to return to Elysinuithe. My last card was the necessity of keeping Tyler close to her father, but when I told him the truth about the DNA test, that justification was thrown out the window."I have a Tyler here, Knox," I hesitantly respond."You had a life there too. Knox reminds me, brushing a few strands of hair out of my eyes.“No." I corrected him. "I had you and nothing else. Here I have a business,friends, a purpose beyond sta

    Knox's POVSam Cavanaugh has my small family assembled in his office. As Tyler balanced between our laps, Melissa and I sat across from the Eros Alpha, getting ready to reveal our trip to Elysium. Given how things transpired when the other man discovered that I had claimed Melissa, I was expecting a scene, but I'm not so sure anymore.After the kidnapping, things were so hectic that I didn't notice Sam's gaze on Melissa, but today I can clearly see the difference. He used to look at my partner with unfulfilled desire, but these days he only looks at her with warmth and friendliness.I have a feeling I know the reason behind this sudden shift, and while I still harbor some resentment for the little she-wolf who helped kidnap my mate and pup, solving my Sam problem might just be worth my forgiveness. I know she was a victim in all this, but the fact remains that my pup almost died,and the father in me just can't get past that. I know Melissa feels the same.“I presume you've come to tel

    Melissa's POVAs Tyler and I arrived in New Town, something strange happened. The streets seemed to shift before my eyes, rearranging themselves in an instant. The modern world around me faded away, and in its place, the familiar signs of a bygone era emerged: vintage cars, outdated advertisements, and storefronts that had long since vanished from memory.It was as though the town had turned back the clock to fifteen years ago, to the last time I was here—before my mother passed away and before Garrick took me prisoner. After I escaped, I stayed away from this place, avoiding it as if it were cursed. But now, here I am again, feeling ten years old, standing on the brink of losing everything I once knew and loved."This is it, Mommy," Tyler's small hand tightens around mine, pulling me out of my thoughts, her voice full of wonder."This is it," I say, the words heavy with meaning. "I grew up in that house.""And lost everything there too," Luna whispers, her voice tinged with sorrow."

    Melissa's POVNot this again!One moment, I'm standing there, and the next, I'm sprawled over my friend's lap, my arms flailing in a desperate attempt to shield my now exposed behind.How did he manage that so quickly? Luna's voice echoes in my mind, and at the same time, I think, I really need to stop wearing dresses. They make it way too easy for him to get to me.Before I can make another move, Knox has my hands pinned behind my back, and his strong thighs hold my kicking legs in place. Unlike before, I don’t whimper or plead for an explanation. This time, I fight back with everything I’ve got, my anger flaring as I realize I’m stuck in this situation once more.I can't believe he's doing this to me again. That incident at the café seems to have opened up a whole new can of worms. Is this how he’s going to react every time I do something he doesn’t like?Maybe I shouldn’t have pushed him, but deep down, I know I don’t regret it. I’m certain I’m in the right here.Still, it isn't fa

    Melissa's POV"Knox, put me down!" I shout, wriggling as he carries me through the pack house in his arms. "I can walk!"“I know you can walk," he growls, tightening his hold on me. "But I’m carrying you because I don’t trust you not to run off and do something reckless if I let you go."This is bad. Knox hasn’t said a word to me since he figured out that I must have jumped into the pool on purpose. Instead, he swept me up and stormed out of Nova Hall, not sparing a glance for his mother or anyone else. He made the trek back to the pack house so fast, I can hardly believe he’s still human.Now, he's pacing in a silent fury, holding me like I'm a sack of potatoes, steam practically rising from his ears. He charges up the stairs and barges into the apartment without slowing, and the sound of Tyler’s crying immediately hits my ears. I twist, trying to locate my pup, but Knox keeps me firmly in his grip, not letting me move an inch.“Tyler?” I call, listening with Knox's breath as her wai

    Melissa ’s POVThis was a mistake.The realization hit me the moment I entered the water. Attempting such a reckless plan was foolish, and now I was paying the price. I plunged beneath the turquoise surface, sinking fast, my body heavy and unyielding like a stone. The bottom of the pool loomed closer, and panic clawed at my chest.It wasn’t a particularly deep pool—just twenty feet—but even that shallow depth felt oppressive. The pressure seemed to crush me, as though the weight of the entire world had settled on my shoulders. My lungs screamed for air, but my mind was caught in a storm of dread.The seconds dragged painfully, each one an eternity. The underwater world was surreal—soft, muted, and overwhelmingly blue. It might have been mesmerizing if it weren’t so terrifying. I stretched my arms wide, trying to focus. There had to be something within me, a spark of power waiting to be tapped. Desperately, I pictured myself reaching for it, pulling salvation from the depths of my bein

    Knox's POVAfter a frustrating and unproductive trip to the security offices, where we uncovered nothing but twelve hours of blacked-out camera footage from the night the paternity test was conducted, my betas and I made our way up to the chief physician's office on the tenth floor.Now, we stand in the doorway of his corner suite, carefully observing the doctor's reaction to our sudden appearance, only to find him with a blank expression.Seated behind his desk, he has his polished loafers casually resting on the sleek wooden surface, a takeout container resting in his lap. It's been a while since I last saw him, and despite the fact that he's only a few years older than me, I can't help but notice the toll time has taken. His dark hair now has a few streaks of gray, and the lines around his eyes and mouth are more pronounced than I remember.“Alpha, to what do I owe the pleasure?" Dr Kane greets me, barely looking up from his lunch.As far as Alpha's go, I've also considered myself

    Melissa's POVKnox is driving me crazy.It’s barely evening, and here we are—already tucked into bed. We don’t even have my heart to blame for this rush anymore; that excuse ran its course days ago. But you'd never guess that from the way Knox is behaving. It's as if we're teenagers again, caught up in the chaos of our own desire. Though, I can’t say he's entirely at fault—every time his hands are on me, I seem to lose all control, melting into him.I know it might sound like I'm frustrated, but honestly, I’m just trying to process everything that’s happened recently. I’m not upset about having this incredible Alpha showering me with affection. I just don’t quite know how to handle all these overwhelming changes.Knox pulls me closer, wrapping himself around me like the softest blanket, his massive frame offering comfort as his lips graze my skin. “Goddess, I love you,” he murmurs, pressing his face into my neck."I love you too," I whisper, smiling widely. “Even if you don't listen t

    Melissa 's POVI’m starting to wonder if my mother gave me the wrong secret. Granted, she shared the most important one—the scariest, too—but she really buried the lead. Sure, my blood can grant eternal life, but that’s not much help while it’s still coursing through my veins. On the other hand, learning I can hypnotize people would have been a much more practical secret to know sooner.Odette’s history books are far from complete, and half of what they claim sounds more like myth than fact. Still, there’s enough solid evidence to convince me of certain things. For example, I’m skeptical of the thirteenth-century zealot who supposedly figured out how to become invisible, but I’m more than willing to believe the hundreds of accounts describing how Volana wolves could use moonlight to amplify their powers.I can't believe I never knew any of this.I marvel, scanning through ancient censuses listing the names of my ancestors.I can. Luna rolls her eyes, I mean when would we have had the o

    Knox's POV"Go!" Melissa commands, her body poised in a defensive stance."I can't," I mutter, frustration lacing my words. "This doesn’t feel right."We stand in the middle of the garden, the manicured grass stretching out between us. About ten meters separate us, and I can’t shake the feeling that something’s off. Melissa, dressed in workout gear, meets my gaze with a mix of patience and exasperation. On the sidelines, Aiden and Donovan watch, grinning widely as if the whole thing is some kind of game—though nothing has even happened yet."Attack me!" she urges, arms outstretched in an open challenge."Melissa, I really don’t think this is a good idea—""Knox, you promised!" She cuts me off, her voice insistent. I know she’s been trying to convince me to do this for weeks, but I still have doubts. Axel and I would never intentionally hurt her, but there’s always a risk. A slip, a misstep, even a half-hearted strike could go wrong.“This is dangerous." I gripe, "what if it doesn't wo

    Melissa's POV"Knox, you're being completely unreasonable."He stands across from me in the kitchen, sunlight streaming in behind him, his arms folded tightly across his chest, and that familiar, stubborn scowl on his face. After everything that happened last night, he's been on edge, hovering around me like a hawk. This morning, I had to actually kick him out of the bathroom just to get a moment of privacy, and now he's digging in his heels, refusing to go to work."Can you blame me?" he snaps, his voice low and edged with frustration.I get it, I do. He's tired. We didn't get to bed until nearly four this morning, and with a young pup running us ragged, there’s no chance of sleeping in. If he were staying home to rest and recharge, I might be more sympathetic. But that’s not it."We've got to figure out a way to get past this,”I sigh, feeling emotionally drained."We can't change what happened,but we can't let it take over our lives either.You have to go to work, I've got to take Tyl
