FERRIS' POV The soft rustle of pages filled the room as I laid back on the bed, trying to lose myself in the novel I had been reading for what felt like days. Ever since I’d started recovering, my wolf had been helping me heal faster, but Ferris insisted I stay in bed. My body still ached, but it w
FERRIS POV As soon as the guard delivered the news, I felt a rage move through me. "What do you mean they're still missing?" I snapped, my voice booming across the room. The guard flinched, shifting on his feet. "You’ve had days! Days, and you’ve found nothing?" The guard stammered, "Your Majest

ELISE'S POV As I stepped out of the arena, I met up with Sophie. The burn in my muscles faded as I walked beside her, feeling lighter with every step. We laughed, talking about nothing and everything, like we always did when we were together. But even as we joked, my mind slipped elsewhere. To him.
ELISE'S POV The sun was high in the sky when I arrived at the training grounds the next day. Ferris and I had known each other for a long time yet I still felt that familiar flutter in my chest whenever I saw him. Today was no different. I saw him standing there. His huge frame casted a long shad

FERRIS' POV Everything changed as soon as Farrell walked in. Damn him, he always knew how to make an entrance. He held a drive in his gloved hand—small, silver,. But the weight of it? I could already tell it was heavy enough to shake kingdoms. “Farrell,” I called “What’s this?” He looked up at
FERRIS' POV. “Alpha,” Eden’s voice was barely a whisper as he stood behind me. I didn't even remember that he was present. That's how occupied I've been “Tell me you have a plan. Please.” I turned to him. The exhaustion in my bones was so heavy I could barely shake my head. “I have nothing,” I wh
