KYLIE'S POV

I sit up, a mix of relief and worry washing over me as Ryan's voice echoes in my mind. The connection feels stronger this time, and tears well up in my eyes.

“Mom, can you hear me?” he asks.

A lump forms in my throat, and I respond with a choked, “Yes, I can, honey.”

His voice soothes my anxious heart as he reassures me, “I'm okay, Mom. They've been keeping me asleep, so I can't communicate with you.”

Concern grips me, and I ask, “How are you awake now?”

He explains, “The doctor wasn't able to come in today, but the guard was supposed to inject me. Karl stopped him and told him the dosage they gave me was too much. That probably explains why I'm always waking up with headaches.”

My heart sinks at the thought of what he's endured, but I gather my strength and inquire, “Ryan, baby, do you know where you are?”

He responds, “No, Mom. They're keeping me locked up, and everywhere is sealed.”

Tears stream down my face as I feel the desperation in his words. “Ryan, hang in there.

    Kylie’s PovGosh, my feet are killing me; if I have to stand any longer, I'm going to fall. I can't remember the last time I wore heels.We're currently at the welcome party Arnold's mother is hosting for us, and is it boring? The only thing remotely interesting about this place is the wine. The people are so stiff and strict in relating to each other.Everyone has a standard to meet or a reputation to uphold. I miss when my father was here. He would've made sure everyone was having fun and letting loose, not at this party where everyone is judging each other by the amount of jewelry they have. There is nothing about family in this party; it's all propaganda.Speaking of parents, I spot Arnold and his mother talking tersely in a corner, and I walk gingerly to meet them. After all, I am the soon-to-be Luna of the pack, so I should be involved in whatever they're talking about, especially if it concerns the pack. I laugh to myself because I know whatever it is that is making Arnold's mo

Desperate to protect you, to keep you safe from those who would seek to harm you.”I furrowed my brow, confusion flickering in the depths of my eyes. “Protect me?” I echoed the words, heavy with disbelief. “From what?”Xander hesitated, his gaze shifting away from mine as he wrestled with his own inner demons. “From my past,” he finally admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. “From the enemies I've made, the battles I've fought, and the secrets I've kept.”My heart clenched at his words, a sense of foreboding settling over me like a dark cloud. “What secrets?” I demanded, my voice trembling with emotion. “What aren't you telling me, Xander?”Xander took a deep breath, his eyes filled with regret, as he met my gaze. “I'm not who you think I am, Allegra,” h
