Chapter Ninety: The Pain and the Promise(Cara’s POV)I ran.I didn’t know where I was going—I just knew I had to get away.The cheers from the ceremony still rang in my ears, taunting me, haunting me. My breath came out in sharp gasps, my vision blurred with tears, but I didn’t stop. I couldn’t. My legs moved on their own, carrying me deep into the forest, far away from the pack, far away from him.Damon had chosen Sophia.He had kissed her in front of everyone.And then, he had smiled at me.Like I was nothing. Like I was just another fool who had believed in his lies.A strangled sob escaped my throat as I pushed forward, my dress catching on branches, my bare feet scraping against the rough ground. But I didn’t care. I wanted the pain. I wanted something—anything—to remind me that I was still alive. Because right now, it felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest and stomped on.The trees grew denser, the shadows swallowing me whole. The night was cold, but a fire burned i

Chapter Ninety-One: The Night Talk(Damon's POV)It was a peaceful night, with the air fresh and cool, as the warm light of the lanterns shone softly within the room.Sophia lay on the bed, her breathing slow and steady. She looked peaceful, completely relaxed after everything that had happened today. I should have been so too—relieved, happy even. I had made my choice, I had done what was asked of me. But something in my chest was. amiss.I pushed the thought away as Lucas leaned on the window, smiling. He had his look in his eyes—the one he always had when he was about to tell me something that I didn't want to hear."Man," Lucas laughed, shaking his head. "Looked like she sucked on a lemon."I didn't answer immediately, pouring a glass of whiskey instead. I didn't know if I was ready for Cara.Lucas didn't care. He continued.She stood there like she'd just been slapped across the face. I mean, I was convinced she was gonna pass out in front of everyone." He jeered. "The way she ju

Chapter Ninety-Two: In Search of Cara(Damon's POV)The night was colder than usual.I sat in my room, by myself, staring at the flickering candle on the table. The room was quiet, but not my thoughts. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't shake the feeling inside me.Cara.Where was she?I leaned back in my chair, letting out a deep breath. My fingers tapped on the wooden armrest, my thoughts whirling.It had been hours since she flew off into the forest.I thought she would return at first.She always did.No matter how mad she was, no matter how much she wanted to just vanish, she always came back. But this time… this time was different.Lucas had mocked it before, laughing about how hurt she would have been. He acted like it was no big thing, like Cara's pain was funny. I had laughed along with him.But now, I wasn't laughing.Something about the fact that she had just disappeared wasn't sitting right with me.Cara wasn't breakable. I knew that.But I also knew that when people w

Chapter Ninety Three : A Difficult Decision(Damon’s POV)The walk back home was quiet. Too quiet.I didn’t know what to say to Cara, and for some reason, she wasn’t saying anything either. She just followed me, her steps light but her presence heavy.I wasn’t sure if bringing her back was the right decision.Sophia.I didn’t want to hurt her. Not now, not ever. She was the one person who had always been there for me. The last thing I wanted was for her to misunderstand the situation.But I also couldn’t leave Cara in the forest. No matter what had happened between us, I couldn’t ignore the fact that she was alone, and even if she acted like she didn’t care, I knew she was hurting.Beside me, Cara suddenly let out a breath, breaking the silence.“You haven’t said a single word since we left,” she muttered, her tone unreadable.I glanced at her, but she wasn’t looking at me. Her gaze was fixed ahead, as if she wasn’t expecting an answer.I stayed silent. What could I even say? That I w

Chapter Ninety Four _ InsecueeCara’s POVI sat alone in the room, staring at the four walls like they held the answers to my life’s problems. The silence pressed against my ears, making me feel even more isolated. This wasn’t my home. Nothing about this place felt right.A few moments later, the door creaked open, and Sophia walked in, holding a pile of neatly folded clothes in her hands. She smiled at me like she always did—sweet, gentle, perfect.“I brought these for you,” she said, placing them on the bed. “You didn’t bring anything with you, so I picked some of my clothes for you to wear.”I forced a smile. “Thank you, Sophia.” My voice was light, almost cheerful, but deep inside, my chest tightened with irritation.Sophia stood there, watching me as if she wanted to say more. She shifted on her feet, hesitating. “I want you to feel free here, anytime you are bored you can come and meet me or Damon, we are happy to have you here”I only smile Was she waiting for me to start a c

Chapter Ninety FiveShamefulCara's POVI sat quietly in the packhouse living room, my hands wrapped tightly in my lap. The silence between me and the rest of them was oppressive. Too oppressive. Damon sat across from me, his eyes very decidedly not on mine. He hadn't said a word since we sat down. Sophia was beside him, serene as could be, as if everything was fine.It wasn't.I could feel it in the air. The tension. Damon not looking at me. Sophia nervously glancing at the two of us.Then the front door opened.I didn't even need to turn—I already knew who it was.Voices started echoing down the hallway.Footsteps.I slowly turned my head, and my heart fell to the floor.The Alpha. Luna. Liam.They were all here.And they were entering the room.Luna stopped dead in her tracks when she saw me. Her cold eyes scanned me as if I were something she did not expect to see in this house. Her lips drew together, and her eyebrows leapt up in shock."I knew it," Luna said, folding her arms. "

Chapter Ninety Six — Safe Damon’s POVI was sitting in the pack study room, staring at nothing. My thoughts were loud, too loud. I didn’t like the way everything happened earlier.Cara staying in the house didn’t sit well with me. Not because she was a threat. Not because Sophia couldn’t handle it. But because I… couldn’t.The truth was, I brought her here. I was the one who went into that forest and brought her back. I should’ve thought it through. I should’ve known things would be different when she walked into this house.And now that she’s here, I don’t feel right.The door opened, and Sophia walked in. Her footsteps were fast, and her expression told me that this wasn’t going to be a calm conversation.She stood in front of me, arms crossed, lips tight. “So that’s it?” she asked.I looked up at her. “What do you mean?”“You want Cara to leave?” she asked, voice sharp.I rubbed my forehead. “Sophia… it’s not like that. I’m just not comfortable anymore.”She stared at me like I h

Cara's POVI rested against the window, gazing out at the serene, moonlit evening. The house was abnormally still, the only sounds the distant howls of wolves in the forest. I could feel the pressure of it all crashing down on me. Damon and Sophia were bonded. That was the truth. The truth that stung. But it was irrelevant now. I had a plan.I surveyed the room, my eyes locking onto the door. Damon was in the adjacent room. Sophia had gone off to visit her parents, and I was left alone with him. I had been waiting for this opportunity—the ultimate opportunity. This was my moment to at last get what I wanted. I was pregnant with Liam's child, but no one knew that. Everyone thought the baby was Damon's. That was my chance to reclaim Damon, to have him back for myself.I couldn't help but smile to myself, imagining. This would be okay. Damon had never truly pushed me away, and if I could only maintain the charade that the baby was his, then he would return to me. He would be mine again,

Chapter 108 The New Born BabyCara's screams echoed through the pack house. They were shrill—keen—hurtful. But they weren't merely the screams of a woman in labor. They were desperate screams. She wasn't merely giving birth to a baby. She was giving birth to a plan. A deception.The pack doctor was already with her. So were two nurses. I had called them when I had found her in her bed earlier, soaked in blood and pain. I couldn't leave her, not even if I wished to.Even if she hated me… even if she wished to kill me.Damon stood by me, silently. Arms crossed, jaw clenched. He'd hardly said anything since we'd gotten there. Only the soft kiss on my cheek as he came in, as if the soft words in my ear had required no words at all: You're the one I chose."She's going to push," the doctor yelled out beyond the open door.We heard it all. The groans. The screams. The nurses' cries, "Breathe." I swallowed hard, my chest strained.And then—The shriek of a newborn baby pierced the clinic.I

Chapter 107: His Eyes Only Saw Me(Sophia's POV)I felt the tension in the air as Damon and I were sitting in our room. It had been weeks since all the drama with Cara went down. The tension was gone now, though, and it gave me hope. Damon, my mate, was now sitting next to me, and I didn't feel lost anymore. It had been hard—so hard to even think of what we’d been through. But now, in this moment, it felt like everything was going to be okay.I rested my head on his shoulder while we conversed in whispers, sharing little smiles and soft giggles. I had missed this. I had missed him. The manner in which he set everything right. When he was with me, it was like nothing else mattered. No one else. Just him and I.And then we heard it—a screeching scream that coursed through the house. My heart jumped."Did you hear that?" I looked up at Damon, but I didn't have to get out the rest of the sentence. He was already on his feet, his face hardening with alarm. He moved quickly towards the door

Chapter: The PretenceCara's POVI stood before the bathroom mirror, my thoughts racing. The plan had to succeed. I had thought about this all day long. There was no way I was going to let Damon get away from me. I had tried everything, but nothing seemed to get him back into my life, not in the way I wanted. But now, I had a perfect plan. A way to get him to look at me in a different way.I took a deep breath, scanning the bathroom. It was quiet. Too quiet. I had to make a scene, something that would get Damon's attention and demonstrate to him how much he needed me.What was I going to do?I looked down at the floor in an instant, my head spinning. And then I had it. A snake. A snake, yes. It would be ideal. I could pretend there was a snake in the bathroom, and Damon would run to my aid. I could scream, bolt out, and he would rescue me, would notice me, would care about me. It was ideal.I could already imagine it in my mind's eye: Damon bursting in, his eyes filled with concern, s

Chapter 105: Cara's POV – The Unexpected SightI had been pacing around the packhouse, trying to cool my head. It had been days since I'd spoken with Damon. Ever since the evening he'd betrayed me, I couldn't seem to handle him. And now, even Sophia, she wasn't even staring at me in the same way anymore. There was tension among us all.But that was something to worry about another time. There was something that worried me much more. I had to keep Damon away from Sophia. I had to tear them apart, destroy what was between them. That was my plan. That was my plan since the first time I'd seen them together, but deep within me lay something that had it set upon making it become a reality.I returned towards the living room, the part of the packhouse where individuals typically gather. But when I drew near, I stopped. I overheard the laughter and became frozen.I did not anticipate this. Not at all.I looked out the window, and there they were. Damon and Sophia. Sitting together. Laughing.

I still remembered Sophia's crying in my head although she had scaled up to the bedrooms. Her heart was broken. And because of me. I did not intend to hurt her. I did not intend to do all of these. But I did.I never planned on sleeping with Damon again, but these…It just escaped me.And then… I did something. I did it in order not to be disposed of by Damon. He looked at Sophia as if she was the sun, and yet I couldn't let him do so without a fight. I had something—a baby.

Chapter Title: The News That Broke MeSophia's POVI sat alone in the garden behind the packhouse. It was quiet. The only noises were birds and the wind through the trees. I had my knees curled up tight against my chest and cried silently.I did not want anyone to see me. My heart felt like a stone. I thought I could be strong. I thought not speaking to Damon would hurt less. But no… it hurt worse. I couldn't get him out of my head. I couldn't get his voice out of my head, apologizing… telling me he still loved me.But how do you say I love you to someone and then go to bed with somebody else?I wiped away my tears in a hurry when I heard footsteps. I was praying that it was Lucas. He had stopped by to check on me earlier, but I told him I needed to be alone. I didn't want anyone. I wanted peace.But when I turned around…It was Cara.I frowned and looked away immediately. I did not wish to gaze at her. I did not wish to hear her voice. But she did not mind.

Chapter 101Damon's POVI could feel the weight of the silence hanging in the air. The tension between Sophia and me had been mounting for days now, and despite how much I fought it, it seemed like the distance between us continued to widen. The things I'd shared with her, the truth about what transpired with Cara—it was just too much for her to process. I had expected her to be furious, but I could never imagine that it would be like she was escaping me, step by step.I stumbled through the packhouse, my feet heavy on the ground, my mind spinning. I hadn't talked to Sophia since I'd told her Cara was dead. Since then, she'd barely even looked at me. When she did, her eyes were full of hurt, betrayal… and something else I couldn't quite pinpoint. She was so far gone, and nothing I said or did seemed able to bring her back.Today, I was compelled to deal with her. I was compelled to make her understand that I loved her. That I didn't want Cara. That I didn't want anyone else other than

I tucked my knees up into my chest and wrapped my arms around them, and had my chin resting on top. I wasn't crying anymore. My eyes were already tender. My heart pounded harder.I hadn't even noticed how long I had been sitting there. Maybe hours. All of it weighed on me. My chest, my breath, my mind.Then I heard footsteps.I didn't lift my head."Sophia?"I knew that voice. It was Lucas. Damon's Beta. His best friend.I didn't answer him.He approached slowly and sat beside me without permission."You've been out here a while," he said softly. "Are you okay?"I didn't look at him. I didn't talk. I didn't even move.Lucas hesitated, then said again, "Sophia, you need to tell me something. You don't sound okay."I shut my eyes and let out an unsteady breath. "I'm not," I hardly whispered.His face drifted before me, concerned.
