ELISE'S POV I didn’t expect the sentence, but I understood it. Ferris had to punish me. He was the Alpha, after all, and keeping the peace in the pack was his responsibility, even when it hurt him to do so. But that didn’t make it any easier to swallow. When his eyes locked on mine during the sen
ELISE'S POV The kiss between us got even more intense. At first, it was sweet and passionate but with time, it felt like we couldn't get enough of each other. Never breaking the kiss, Ferris carried me and stood up. I wrapped my legs around him, rolling my tongue together with his. I could feel t
ELISE'S POV The warmth of Ferris’s body pressed against mine, his arm draped around my waist as I laid my head don his chest. I felt like everything I needed in the world. It had been so long since I felt this safe. Wiith Ferris, I could breathe. After everything that had happened, I wasn’t sure I’
FERRIS' POV I didn’t want to leave Elise. Her skin was warm against mine. Her breath was slow and steady, and the feeling of her fingers brushing through my hair was something I didn’t want to give up for anything in the world. But duty called. It always did, and no matter how much I wanted to sta
The fight raged on around us, but we were gaining ground. I could see the rogues starting to falter, their attacks growing more desperate. They hadn’t expected us to be ready for them. That was their mistake. “Push them back!” I shouted, my voice hoarse from the effort. “Don’t let them through!” T
FERRIS' POV The moment the words left the guard’s lips, everything inside me froze. For a moment, I thought I had heard wrong. No... It can't be. The west wing was under attack. My mind immediately flashed to Elise—alone, vulnerable, and possibly in danger. I couldn’t let anything happen to her
ELISE'S POV My voice was raw from shouting into the phone, desperate for an answer. "Ferris! Ferris, can you hear me?" I screamed, pacing in circles. Nothing but silence greeted me. The only thing I could hear was the faint sound of his groaning from the other end, weak and pained. In that momen
ELISE'S POV I leaned against the stone walls of the cell, sliding down till I got to the floor. I pulled my knees up to my chest as I sat on the hard floor, lost in the endless loop of my own thoughts. It was hard to breathe, hard to focus on anything other than the fear pulling at me. But it wasn
ALEXANDRA'S POV The night was cold as I moved silently through the castle corridors. My mind raced with the thought of what I had to do. The plan was simple. I would go in and kill Elise. My heart pounded with anxiety. This had to end tonight. Elise had been a thorn in my side for far too long, a
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
FERRIS' POV I sat in my study, deep in thought. My fingers tapped rhythmically on the desk. My mind churnintwistwd with the rumors I'd just heard. A war. Gina. Planning to avenge Jackson? If there was truth to this, it couldn’t be ignored. But Gina wasn’t the type to make things easy. No, this req
FERRIS' POV I leaned back in my chair in my office, staring at the table while my mind raced with a thousand thoughts. Every thought of mine went back to Elise. I envisioned the sight of her locked away in that cold miserable cell. She was pregnant, vulnerable, and despite my every effort to protec
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
