FERRIS' POV It was the next day, but my mind was still caught in the whirlwind of emotions from day before. There was only one person on my mind - Elise. We were supposed to spend the day together yesterday but it went terribly wrong when the memories came back. The cabin, the snacks, the flower
ELISE'S POV The water dripped down my body, cool against my heated skin as I stepped out of the shower with the towel wrapped loosely around me. It had been a long, exhausting day, and as much as I tried to push Ferris from my mind, he lingered there—always at the edges of my thoughts, taunting me.
"Yes," I moaned, my fingers digging into his hair as he teased me, keeping me on the edge. "Please… I need you." With a smirk, he finally gave me what I wanted. He trusted into me with one hard, powerful motion. I cried out. The sensation was overwhelming as he filled me completely, stretching me i
ELISE'S POV I woke up with a groan. My body was sore from the last few days of relentless training. Ferris always pushed me hard, but he knew my limits. He knew when to stop, when to encourage me, and when to give me that sly grin that always made me want to work just a little harder. But for a whi
ELISE'S POV I stared in disbelief at the mess in front of me. The pile of notes I had spent hours working on was now drenched in coffee, the liquid soaking through every page. My hands trembled as I reached for the nearest document, watching the ink smear and run. It was ruined—completely and utter
If I fought Angie, word would get to him and he would be disappointed in me. I already knew how the council felt about him bringing me to his pack. I pushed open the door to my room and stepped inside, letting the door shut behind me. The moment I was alone, I sank down onto the bed and placed my
“You’re right, Angie. You are a Luna candidate. And that means something.” Angie’s eyes narrowed “What do you mean?” I leaned in a little closer, lowering my voice as if I were sharing a secret. “If the pack hears that an outsider disrespected a Luna candidate—especially one of our own—without any
FERRIS POV I had barely settled into my office when I heard a knock on the door. "Come in" I said. A guard stepped in, bowing his head "I apologize for the disturbance, Alpha. Beta Alex has called for an emergency meeting" A meeting? What for? And without my approval? What's Alex up to this
JOAN’S POVThe stench of iron burned the inside of my nostrils.My wrists throbbed from the tightness of the enchanted shackles, and the cold stone beneath me did nothing to soothe the ache in my bones. Rats squealed somewhere nearby, likely celebrating the scent of blood left from the last mad soul

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

FERRIS’ POV The third day was almost there. My hands were stained with papers. My mind was fogged with dead ends. The desk in front of me was cluttered—maps, lists of names, flight records, surveillance screenshots, scribbled notes that barely made sense anymore. I raked my fingers through my hair
ELISE’S POVThe forest swallowed us whole as Farrell hauled the assassin forward. The bastard wouldn't stop squirming. "You think dragging me through the woods like some animal will make me talk?" Spit flew from his mouth. "You're wasting your time!"I rolled my shoulders. "Shut up."He laughed—right until Farrell's fist cracked across his jaw. The snap of bone echoed between the trees. The assassin choked, blood dripping from his split lip. Before he could scream, Farrell stuffed a rag in his mouth."Quiet," Farrell growled.The man's glare could've melted steel, but at least he shut up. I caught up to Farrell, my boots sinking into damp earth. "Where are we—""You'll see." He didn't look back.The trees grew thicker, branches clawing at my arms. My pulse hammered in my throat. Then I saw it—a jagged mouth of rock yawning open in the hillside. The cave exhaled a breath of something rotten.I pressed a hand to my stomach.

ELISE’S POVI stared at the man before us. His body was restrained. His face was bruised and swollen due to the beating Farrell and Henry had given him, yet I could see a hint of arrogance in his eyes. He looked at us like he had already won. He sat in the chair, bound with thick chains. His pants
