Ronan's POVLuka’s words barely registered before I moved. One second, I stood frozen, my mind catching up with the filth that had just left his mouth. The next, my hand was around his throat, lifting him clean off the ground.“What the fuck did you just say?” My voice was low, barely above a whisper, but it cut through the air like a blade.Luka choked, his fingers clawing at mine as his legs kicked in the empty space beneath him.“Ronan,” Hebathi’s voice came sharp and clear, but distant—irrelevant. “Put him down. Now.”I ignored her. My grip tightened. I wanted him to suffer for making me hear those words, for saying something so vile that it felt like a sickness rotting inside me.“Say it again,” I demanded, voice deadly calm. “I dare you.”Luka’s face was turning red, his mouth opening and closing as he fought for air.“Thalia,” he croaked. “My father—he’s—” He gasped, his body jerking. “He’s going to rape her.”A growl ripped from my chest—deep, guttural, and primal.It wasn't n

Ronan's POVI barely registered the moment Hebathi, Aedric, and Luka stormed into the room.Their reactions came in fragments—Hebathi’s sharp gasp, Luka’s fists trembling at his sides, Aedric’s cold, assessing gaze sweeping over the wreckage.“Where the hell do you think you’re going?” Aedric barked.I turned my head sharply, just in time to see Garret scrambling over the window ledge in a pathetic attempt to escape.Aedric made a move to follow, but I cut him off with a sharp look. “Leave him.”He was mine, and nothing was going to come between me and destroying him.I turned to Hebathi, pressing Thalia into her arms. “Take her to the healers.”Hebathi hesitated for only a second before nodding, clutching Thalia close as she rushed off.I didn’t waste another moment.I turned, strode toward the window, and without hesitation, jumped.Everything else vanished—the room, the voices, the lingering scent of blood. My world had narrowed to one singular purpose: figuring out the most effici

Ronan's POVFor a heartbeat, no one moved. Then, as if snapping out of a trance, they seized Garret by what remained of his ruined flesh.He screamed—a raw, broken sound—as they dragged him away. Let him suffer. Let him remember.The crowd around us was a sea of wide eyes and hushed whispers.I didn’t care. My pulse still hammered, the rage a living thing beneath my skin, clawing for release. Not yet. I needed to see her. Needed to know she was whole."Leave," I snapped. The word cut through the murmurs like a blade.The crowd blurred into nothing as I forced air into my lungs, each breath sharp, deliberate.“Control. Stay in control.” But the thought of her—unconscious, bleeding—sent a fresh wave of fury boiling under my skin.I didn’t remember moving, but suddenly, I was there, shoving open the healer’s door.The scent of herbs and magic hit me, thick and cloying.My gaze locked onto Thalia—pale, still, her dark hair fanned out like spilled ink against the white sheets.Hebath moved

Ronan's POV The office walls felt like they were closing in. I paced, each step a silent snarl, my boots striking the floor like a death knell. Too long. Every second Luka delayed was another second I had to choke back the urge to tear someone’s throat out. The door finally creaked open. Luka stepped inside, shoulders hunched, head bowed like a fucking coward. The scent of his shame soured the air—weak, pathetic. It made my teeth ache. I didn’t let him speak first. "Start talking," I growled, the words dripping with venom. "What the fuck happened?" Luka’s fists clenched at his sides. His jaw worked like he was struggling to chew down the words before spitting them out. "I—I should have known," he muttered, voice thick with regret. "This was foolish. I was foolish." My patience was thinning. I leaned forward, my glare pinning him in place. "You’re right," I said flatly. "You should have known. But that doesn’t explain shit. So speak—before I decide you’re wast

Ronan's POVThe dungeon was colder than I remembered. The guards ahead of me walked with caution, their backs straight, shoulders tense. They feared me. As they should.Torchlight flickered against the damp walls, casting jagged shadows that danced like specters. I rolled my shoulders, exhaling slowly, forcing myself to focus.Garret was waiting.The guards stopped at a thick iron door, rusted at the edges, the metal corroded from years of blood and moisture. One of them hesitated before pulling the key from his belt and sliding it into the lock with shaking hahandsThe sound of metal grinding against metal filled the corridor, followed by the dull creak of the door swinging open.I stepped inside.Garret was curled in the corner of the cell, his body a wretched thing, bruised, filth-covered, naked. The moment his sunken eyes met mine, he scrambled back, pressing himself against the wall as though he could somehow melt into the stone.“No—no, please.” His voice was barely above a

Thalia's POVDarkness swallowed me whole.I was floating—no, trapped. Arms pinned, breath caught in my throat.His face—Garret’s—loomed above me like a demon pulled from the pits of hell.“Don’t—please, don’t!”I screamed, but the sound barely left my lips. It was like choking on air. My wrists burned where he held them down, rough hands bruising my skin. I kicked, thrashed, begged.“RONAN!” My voice cracked, hoarse and desperate. “LUKA! Please, someone—help me!”But no one came.Garret laughed. That same awful, gravelly sound that had echoed in my ears the night it happened.I sobbed. “Stop… please stop, I’ll do anything—”The pain returned—sharp, violating. My body arched in agony, and I curled into myself, trying to disappear.“Be a good girl, Thalia.” His breath was hot against my neck. “You were made for this.”“No!” I shrieked, tears spilling freely. “You’re hurting me!”Still, no one came. The walls bled, shadows thickened. Even in dreams, I was alone.Abandoned.Then—faintly—

Thalia's POVThe door creaked open, and I instinctively tensed—my body still sore, my thoughts a whirlwind of pain and fragmented memories.But when I lifted my head and saw Luka standing in the doorway, I forgot how to breathe.He looked like a ghost of himself—shoulders hunched, face drawn, and eyes haunted by something heavier than guilt.The moment his gaze fell on me, lying frail and broken on the healer’s bed, he froze.His lips parted, but no words came out.He tried again, his throat bobbing. “Th—Thalia, I—”He stopped, his fists curling tightly at his sides.His eyes dropped to the floor, and I saw it—that crushing weight of shame cloaking him.It wasn’t just regret in his expression.It was something deeper. Like he was angry at himself for even being allowed to look at me.The old healer glanced between us before smiling kindly.“It’s alright, lad. Come in.” Her voice was soft but firm. “She’s awake now, and I suspect you’ve got things to say.”Then, without waiting for an

Thalia’s POVI sniffed quietly and wiped at my face again, the tears drying on my cheeks. Luka looked like someone had torn him apart and left him barely stitched together. I hated that I was the reason.“This isn’t your fault,” I whispered, my voice still hoarse but steady now. “You know that, right?”He didn’t answer.“I mean it,” I added, offering him a small, shaky smile. “I was stubborn—too stubborn. No matter how much you tried to talk me out of it, I wouldn’t listen. You did everything you could, Luka. This isn’t your fault.”His lips twitched at the corners, the hint of a smile ghosting his face.“And you still believed in me,” I continued softly. “Even after you made it clear you hated the plan… you still trusted me enough to let me try. That meant more to me than you know.”I looked away, the weight of it all settling on my chest. “But I really thought I could handle it… I thought I could play the hero.”His laugh was soft. Barely a breath. But it was enough to ease some of

Ronan's POVHebathi's brows furrowed. Her voice was low, almost strained. “Why would you go to her?”I didn’t answer right away. Instead, I started pacing, the way I always did when I was trying to outrun my own thoughts. Shadows dragged along the walls with every step I took, and the fire crackled behind me like it had its own heartbeat.“I felt him,” I said finally, voice clipped. “Fenris.”She stiffened.“The moment I laid eyes on Thalia… that first day she was brought here like some offering—I felt him.” I stopped pacing, staring into nothing. “He surfaced.”Hebathi’s breath hitched, barely audible. When I turned to look at her, her eyes were wide. Hurt. Accusing. “You told me you didn’t know why. You said it didn’t mean anything.”“I know,” I muttered, jaw clenching. “I lied. Everything was—overwhelming. I was still trying to piece myself together, and then… she shows up and suddenly the thing I thought was gone—wasn’t.”I resumed pacing, needing to move, needing the motion to ke

Ronan's POVHebathi’s mouth tightened. Still silent. Still listening.I clenched my fists. My knuckles cracked, and I didn’t even feel it. The emotions I tried to keep buried came pouring out before I could stop them.“Then he leaned forward, like he was sharing some big secret. And he said, ‘She doesn’t want you anymore. She’s mine now.’”I felt my voice shake with burning fury. “‘Who would choose a mutt like you over me?’ he said. *‘You live under my rule, eat my scraps, sleep in the dirt. I'm the Alpha of this pack—*of course she chose me.’”My jaw locked. I remembered that moment like it had just happened. The way the room spun. The heat rising in my chest. My wolf, Fenris clawing at my insides, ready to tear something apart.“I told him to shut up. I told him to bring her to me. Let her say it to my face.”My breath came out harsh. Wild. “I begged. I roared. I didn’t care anymore—I just needed to see her. To hear her say it. Even if it destroyed me.”Hebathi flinched slightly.

Ronan's POV“…Everything I tried not to need. Everything I tried to forget.”Hebathi didn’t move.But her silence wasn’t empty. It was waiting.Her eyes narrowed just enough, just barely. “What the hell does that mean, Ronan?”I let out a breath—slow, rough. I couldn’t pace. Couldn’t hide behind anger or silence anymore. So I stood still. Right there in front of her, stripped down to the bone, because pretending I had control was a waste of both our time.“You don’t know everything about me,” I said, voice low. “That was never an accident. I kept my past sealed away—for good reason. But you deserve the truth.”I swallowed the knot in my throat.“Before I became this—Alpha, soldier, sovereign—I was just a man. A pack member. Bloodstone-born. Nothing special. I trained. I hunted. I fought. That was my whole world. And for a while… it was enough.”My chest tightened. The memory crept in without mercy.“Because I had her.”Hebathi’s lips parted slightly. Just a breath. Nothing more.I kep

Ronan's POVWhatever war she’d fought inside herself, she’d won.But me?I was still in the trenches.I yanked my shirt over my head and stalked toward the door. My boots felt like they were dragging the entire damned mountain with them.I can’t have you. Not anymore.Her voice rang in my head like a death knell. Over and over.I didn’t say goodbye. Didn’t promise I’d come back. What was there to say?I was Alpha, yeah. But right now? I didn’t feel like I had control over anything.Not her.Not Hebathi.Not even myself.As I walked through the corridors, my fists stayed clenched at my sides. My jaw locked so tight I thought it might crack. The walls felt too close, the air too still. Every step was heavier than the last, like the storm inside me was leaking into my body, dragging me down.She said no. She told you to leave.And yet… it wasn’t even the rejection that got me. It was how soft she said it. How final. Like she’d already let me go a long time ago and I was just catching up.

Thalia's POVI stood there, frozen, clutching my chest like I could keep my heart from splitting apart. Ronan’s back was the last thing I saw before the door closed behind him. No goodbye. No look back. Just silence.And then—nothing.Except the sound of my own breathing, jagged and uneven.Why did it hurt this much?I slid my fingers over the spot just above my heart, pressing hard. As if pressure could smother the ache. It didn’t. It only made it worse.He left.Of course he did.I told him to. I meant to. I thought I could handle it.But gods, it felt like I’d just ripped out my own ribs and handed them over.I didn’t want him to go. Not really.I wanted him to fight for me. Just once. To look back. To stay.But he didn’t. He never does.I dropped my hand, trembling, and wrapped my arms around myself. The room was too quiet. Too still. It made the screaming in my chest louder.Why was I jealous? Why should I be?Hebathi was strong. Beautiful. Everything I wasn’t.And she loved him,

Ronan's POV“That’s enough,” I said, my voice low, cold, final.The growl hadn’t stopped—if anything, it rumbled deeper in my chest now, vibrating through my bones. I stared Hebathi down, jaw tight, breathing steady, even though every part of me was screaming inside.She didn't flinch. Of course she didn’t.“You don’t get to shut me down, Ronan,” she snapped, stepping forward. “I have every right to ask what the hell is going on!”“You will respect my authority as Alpha.” The words thundered out of me, sharp and absolute. “Or walk away.”Her eyes widened for a heartbeat—hurt, betrayal, something else I didn’t want to name—but then fire took its place.“The least I deserve is an explanation to this whole crap!” she barked back, voice rising to match mine. “You think you can play god with everyone’s lives and toss us aside like we’re nothing?! You owe me, Ronan!”The guilt was there. Twisting like a knife in my chest. I didn’t want to look at her—not when she was standing there with bro

Ronan's POVI stood there like a damn fool, half-dressed and breathless, watching Hebathi stare at me like I’d grown two heads.She was holding a bowl—soup, maybe. I didn’t care. What I cared about was the way her expression shifted: shock, disappointment, anger... then full-blown rage.I could feel the heat from her glare like a slap to the face.The primal, guttural pull that had been twisting in my gut moments ago—my wolf, Fenris no doubt—went deathly silent. As if even he knew we were screwed.I clenched my jaw, every muscle in my body tensing.I wanted to speak. To say something, anything.But what the hell could I say?“Sorry you had to see me groping the girl I swore to stay away from?”Yeah. That would go over real well.I didn’t move. Neither did she.Thalia stood behind me, quiet and small, like she was trying to shrink into the shadows. My body still hummed from touching her, tasting her. Her skin was warm where my hands had just been, and the memory of her soft moan still

Thalia's POVHis lips crashed into mine—hard, unrelenting, unapologetic.There was nothing gentle about it. Nothing like Luka’s soft, hesitant kiss. No slow build, no careful caress. This was fire. This was chaos. This was Ronan.His hands moved with a kind of hunger I wasn’t prepared for.One cupped the side of my neck, tilting my face up as his mouth devoured mine, while the other slid around my waist, dragging me flush against his body. My breath caught—his body was so warm, so solid, so painfully familiar.I should’ve pushed him away. I should’ve asked why. But I didn’t.I didn’t move.Of course I didn’t.Because no matter the hatred and anger he showed towards me, deep down, I missed this. I missed him.His body against mine, his scent, the way he kissed like he was claiming something that had always been his.He kissed me like a man starved—possessive, untamed. Like he was angry at himself for wanting me, and even angrier that I’d let someone else touch me.And goddess… I melted

Thalia's POVI blinked, feeling the blood drain from my face.My breath hitched in my chest, and for a moment, time seemed to freeze.The shock was overwhelming, and I couldn’t make sense of what was happening.Did he see? Did he see everything?My heart pounded in my ears as different thoughts tumbled over each other, threatening to swallow me whole.I had thought we were quick enough, that the kiss had been broken off before anything could escalate.But the way Ronan was looking at me—those eyes, dark and predatory—left me with no doubt.He'd seen everything.“I believe you aren't tongue-tied, Thalia, so answer me.” His voice was low, almost a growl, and I could hear the sharpness in it.He knows. He knows.What do I do?I felt the sweat bead on my skin, a thin sheen of panic slipping down my back.My chest felt tight, the words trapped in my throat.What could I say? What should I say?My mind raced, trying to form something that would explain this, but nothing came. Nothing made s
