ELISE'S POV I watched the scene in front of me with pain in my heart. Gina was crumpled on the floor. Her body was limp and her skin was pale as snow. Jackson was right beside her, wrapping his arms around her and attending to her in a way he had never done with me. The revelation hit me like a p

JACKSON'S POV I took Gina straight to the palace doctor with the help of the guards. Gina’s fingers clutched mine tightly but I didn’t mind. The doctor had just confirmed what we had been hoping for—Gina was pregnant. I could hardly believe it. It was the best news of my life. Finally, I was going
ELISE'S POV The long drive to Ferris’s pack felt like a dream. I couldn't believe I actually left my pack. I was free. I never thought I'd ever leave. It had been my home. I leaned back in the seat, gazing out the window as the scenery gradually changed. The world outside grew greener and even

FERRIS' POV As soon as I shut the door behind me, the concerns of the council came back to haunt me. I expected this—of course, I did. I knew they wouldn't accept Elise, not as she is now. Not a stranger to them, not a divorced Luna from another pack. I exhaled slowly, trying to calm the emotions

ELISE'S POV The cell was... different this time After the attack I had, Ferris ensured that I was taken to a different cell. This one was much better. It wasn’t as dark or damp as my previous one, and the bedding was slightly softer. It also had less guards surrounding the place which made eve
GINA'S POV I stood by the back laundry. My heart still raced, though I tried to calm it. My moment with Ferris replayed in my mind—his words, his touch, the way his eyes seemed to see straight through me. For so long, I’d wanted to be close to him. I’d dreamed of it, schemed for it. He was one of

ELISE'S POV I sat in the corner of my room with my knees drawn to my chest, trying to suppress the fear inside me. The encounter with Gina still played on a loop in my mind. I remembered how angry she was. Was she really not behindJackson's poisoning? Was she taunting me? Or was I truly losing my
ELISE'S POV The cell was uncomfortable. No amount of pacing or shifting on the wooden bench could make the suffocating air in here feel better. The walls felt like they were closing in on me. My fingers trembled as I placed a hand over my belly. "I promise," I whispered to the life growing within
FERRIS' POV Eden sat across from me in my study, resting his hands on the table. His newly acquired Gamma badge gleamed on his chest. Ever since Barley decided to act a fool, I replaced him with Eden as Gamma and the head of my security. We discussed who the perpetrator might be and why they want
ELISE'S POV The walls of the cell were cold as I leaned against it. I had been here before, but this time it felt heavier. More suffocating. Sitting on the hard bench, I leaned my head back against the rough stone and closed my eyes. I couldn't believe I was in here, in trouble again and it's all
