Jaselyn's POV

I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, through the forest and the vegetation. My head kept pounding incessantly, my stomach churning, I was getting out of breath and my legs were heavy, feeling like they would fail me any minute but I didn't stop.

I didn't know where I was going but I just kept running, wanting to get as far away from the palace as possible. I wanted to run away from everyone and everything.

I only stopped, completely breathless when I reached a cliff.

I rested my hands on my knees, heaving, trying hard to catch my breath. Just then, Isla's words echoed in my mind.

‘You have no one left in your life. There's no one that wants you, no one that loves you. The whole world has turned its back on you and everyone you know or love has either left, betrayed you or done both.

There's nothing left for you, Jaselyn Everhart.’

‘You've been abandoned, with pain and misery as your only companions.’

‘Your child is dead, your mate has left you for good, your reputat

    Jaselyn's POV Rion got off of me in an instant, almost like my skin seared his. It hurt, in a strange way. What kind of cruel twist of fate is this? Rion still loves Ziarre and despite how silly it sounds, I still hold some affection for Zane. I clearly recall that yesterday, we were happy together. Just because he rejected me, it doesn't mean all my feelings would disappear instantly. Rion and I have a strong friendship, we support each other and our love for one another is strictly platonic, so why then has the Moon Goddess made us second chance mates? It makes no sense at all.But the invisible bond, like a tightly knitted string, thrums with the desire for affection from Rion. It's so strange, this feeling within me. I don't like it. But at the same time, I dread the thought of rejection. If I got rejected by Rion as well then…….Rion turns away from me, probably reeling from the shock of it all.“How can this be?” He voices aloud, running a hand through his hair.I sit up, tr

    Jaselyn’s POV “Are you sure?”“Yes, Jas. But if you don't want this bond, it's fine. We could reject each other if that's what you want.” He suggests and my grip around him tightens instinctively.“No, that's not what I meant. I want this bond.” I rush out, cheeks warming up.It's OK for me to be selfish this one time, isn't it?“As your mate, I'll give you all the care and support you need but I can't promise to love you. My heart is the only thing I can't offer to you, I hope you can understand that.” He said and a weird feeling engulfed me, I couldn't understand what it was. Disappointment? Sadness? I'm not even sure.“I understand. We both have deep emotional wounds we might never heal from. I won't ask much from you, only that you stand by me. Your support is all I need.” I clarified and I heard him sigh in relief.“I guess that's settled then.” He said and the awkward silence was back again.“How did you find me?” I asked the question that had occupied my mind since he arrived.

    Jaselyn's POVI stirred, moving my head as I yawned. It felt like I was lying on something hard so I forced my eyes open, blinking repeatedly and trying to accustom my lenses to the bright light.My surroundings were unfamiliar. Elegant, refined decor with spacious padded leather seats. The ambiance screamed of luxury and I jolted up quickly in confusion but that turned out to be a mistake as it felt like a weight had been dropped on my head and my vision blurred slightly.I soon felt a hand caressing my back.“Relax Jas, you're fine.” I turned to the voice sharply and saw that Rion was sitting behind me. I had been lying on the plush seats, my body covered with a blanket while my head rested on his thighs.He didn't let me speak before he applied force on his hand on my back, directing me to lie back down on his lap. It made my heart skip a beat.“Where are we? What's happening?” I asked, relaxing, trying to get comfortable again.Rion's eyes were fixed on the window, probably starin

    Jaselyn's POVLanding at Orlando International airport, there was already a car waiting for us. We ended up spending five hours on the road, most of which I slept through. The forests of Florida were vast but we finally arrived at the Blue Solstice Pack. Unlike The Black Moon Pack located in the rurals of Wyoming, the Blue Solstice Pack was located in Jacksonville, a densely populated city. The entire territory of the Pack was protected by ancient magic though, so humans couldn't wander into that part of the forest.Lycans were known to possess magic in times past, though they're extinct now. So the fact that the Pack's territory is protected by magic really makes me wonder if the rumors of them being descended from Lycans are true.Traveling through the Pack, it was like a town of its own. There were so many people and lots of infrastructure. Arriving at the palace of the Blue Solstice Pack, I couldn't hide my amazement. It was huge! And I was looking at it just from the exterior.

    Jaselyn's POV It's no wonder Rion opted for us to meet with the Alpha later, I'm far from presentable.“No, nothing hurts. I feel numb, sluggish. If that makes any sense.” I report.“I see. The doctor will find out if there's anything wrong. You should take a bath, change into new clothes and get some rest in the meantime. I'll leave you to it.” He said and stood up.Opening the door, he took one last look at me before leaving and closing the door behind him. Stripping out of my clothes brought back the memories I was trying so hard to suppress. The accusations, my labor and eventually discovering the death of my child. I couldn't control my emotions and before I realized it, my eyes watered and tears were already slipping down.It makes me wonder if it'll be like this from now on. Will this pain forever remain raw and suffocating? And then there's the feeling of guilt. I feel partially responsible for everything; if only I'd been more careful. If only I hadn't let Isla stay in the

    Zane's POVHave you ever been thrust into a situation so dire that you had to take the worst possible action because you hoped it would bring the best results?“You're a fucking idiot, absolutely insufferable.” Artem cursed. I had released him, knowing this would happen. I let him rain all sorts of unprintable words on me because I knew I deserved it.“At least I was able to save her.” The words were more of a consolation to myself than anything else. “But at what cost, damnit?! We lost our mate for the second fucking time because you're just too weak to protect her. You can't protect anyone. How long will this go on? You've practically lost everyone in your life because of your powerlessness.” Artem seethed.His words would hurt….. They would if I wasn't already broken beyond repair. I'm so deep in despair that crying just wouldn't be enough to express the depth of how I'm feeling right now.My heart has been torn to shreds.

    Zane's POVI tried my best not to give off any sign of fear.“Let go of her right now, Zane. If I have to repeat myself again, I'll just let the gun do the talking.” Blade gritted, his tone carrying a serious warning. I hate being caught off guard, I hate everything that's happening right now.I hesitated and Blade turned off the safety. Seeing no other option, I took my hands of Isla and she spluttered, coughing uncontrollably and gasping for air.“How dare you do this, Blade? You betrayed your Alpha, you betrayed your entire Pack, you threw away your years of service just to work for Isla? You're a fucking coward.” I spat annoyed and Blade tsked.“You're the last person I need to hear that crap from. Nothing about you screams brave or courageous to me. You have no right to question my loyalty to this Pack. I don't serve you, Zane. My loyalties lie with your late parents and if they were still with us, they would have done anything to save this Pack from ruin, even if it meant disca

    Zane's POV “What the actual fuck, Zane?! Have you gone mad?! Do you really think I'll let you sacrifice our pup after we've waited so long for his arrival? You're fucking bonkers if you think I'd let you do that.” Artem raged within me.I could feel him fighting, clawing his way at the back of mind, trying desperately to breach my defenses and take control.But I did what I do best. I shut him out, sealed him in tight.“I'm sorry, Artem but we can't be emotional right now. We can always have another child but I can't bear to lose Jaselyn, I wouldn't be able to survive it, Artem. I'd die with her. I just…… I have to save her no matter what it takes.” I pleaded with him, going firm at the last part.Artem still refused to submit. He kept fighting, raging. I feared he would break free and go rogue if I didn't keep my defenses secure and high up.“Good. Now you're finally speaking my language. After you betrayed and abandoned me, I swore I would ruin your life with Jaselyn no matter what

    Celio's POV The wooden floor creaked under my knees as I scrubbed away at the dirt, pushing the rag back and forth with all the strength my small, 8 year old body could muster. The chill of the mountain wind seeped through the cracks in the old walls, biting at my skin. My hands were raw and red, the rough texture of the rag scraping against my knuckles. I didn’t mind. I didn’t mind the pain, the hunger gnawing at my stomach, or the loneliness that pressed on me like an iron weight. I was used to it.I glanced out the cracked window at the gray sky that mirrored my feelings. The little shack we lived in sat at the base of the mountain, far away from any Pack. Isla had always told me that it was better this way—away from the people who would look at me and know that I wasn’t wanted, that I was abandoned by the very woman who should have loved me most.“Your mother didn’t want you, Celio,” Isla would say, her voice sharp and filled with disdain. “She threw you away like you were nothing

    Luka's POV The day started out like any other. Mika, Sawyer, and I were playing in the woods behind the palace, chasing each other through the trees, our laughter echoing in the air. At seven years old, we were pretending to be fierce wolves on a hunt, leaping over fallen logs and dodging branches. It was perfect, like it always was when we were together.But then everything changed in an instant.I heard the thud first—a sound so sharp and heavy that it made my heart skip a beat. I stopped and turned around, the world seeming to move in slow motion as I saw Mika crumple to the ground, his face twisted in pain.“Mika!” I shouted, racing back to him. The sight that met me made my stomach lurch. His leg was twisted at an odd angle, and there was blood—so much blood—pouring out of a long, deep gash along his shin. It covered the grass, bright and red, and kept coming. I couldn’t breathe.Sawyer came running up, her eyes huge and frightened as she saw the blood. “Luka, what happened?” sh

    Jaselyn's POV I took his hand, and he pulled me close, holding me from behind as we swayed gently to the music. His lips brushed my ear as he whispered, “You’re beautiful, you know that? Even after everything, you’re still the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. And I’m the luckiest man alive to have you.”Tears pricked my eyes, but they weren’t tears of sadness this time. They were tears of happiness, of gratitude. “Rion… you don’t know how much that means to me.”He kissed my neck softly. “You mean everything to me, Jas.”Suddenly, the music stopped, and a projector flickered on. I turned to see a slideshow of pictures—our memories together. Photos of us when we first arrived at the Pack, a few of the whole family, some from the day of our mating ceremony, which also doubled with the coronation, pictures of us as Alpha and Luna at a few events, including one of us at the Peace Ball. Pictures of me with the twins when they were born and finally, pictures of us with Luka and Mika. I

    Jaselyn’s POVExhausted didn’t even begin to cover how I felt. I was beyond it. No, it was more like EXHAUSTED in capital letters, underlined and bold. It had been a few days since Luka and Mika were born, and though I’d prepared myself for the sleepless nights and constant feeding, nothing could have readied me for the complete overwhelm of being a new mother to two newborns at the same time. Rion helped as much as he could. He was always there, doing everything in his power to make things easier for me. But there was only so much even he could do. There were things I had to handle myself—breastfeeding, comforting them when they both decided to cry at the same time, managing the constant pain in my body that hadn’t fully recovered from the trauma of childbirth.Luka was a good feeder. He latched on almost immediately, eager to nurse, but Mika wasn’t doing as well. He struggled with breastfeeding, and that meant more time spent trying to get him to eat, more time stressing about whet

    Jaselyn's POVFive years have passed since the birth of our twin boys.And in those years, Luka and Mika had grown into mischievous, spirited children who constantly kept me on my toes. They were inseparable, their bond unbreakable, and they moved through life with a shared sense of curiosity and adventure.Completely identical, they inherited the dominant Solstice genes with their ebony black hair, deep green eyes, and strikingly beautiful features. They were so similar in appearance that even their grandmother couldn’t tell them apart.Only Rion and I could tell which was Luka and which was Mika, and the boys often used this to their advantage, tricking everyone around them. But when they weren’t up to mischief, they were the sweetest children imaginable—kind, considerate, and always eager to bring a smile to my face.They were the best of friends, always looking out for each other. If one fell ill,

    Rion's POV“That’s it, Luna,” the midwife encouraged. “The hardest part is over. Just one more push, and we’ll have him out.”Jaselyn nodded weakly, her face pale and slick with sweat. She gritted her teeth, her whole body trembling as she summoned the last of her strength. With a final, desperate scream, she pushed again, her body arching off the bed as she bore down with everything she had left.The baby slipped free with a gush of fluid and blood, his tiny body wriggling and slick in the midwife’s hands. “It’s a boy!” she announced, holding him up for us to see, his loud, piercing cries filling the room.My heart swelled with emotion as I gazed at our son, his tiny face scrunched up in a wail, his fists clenched and shaking. Tears blurred my vision as I looked at Jaselyn. “He’s beautiful,” I choked out, my voice thick with emotion. “Jas, you did it. You gave us a

    Rion's POVI slammed my fist against the desk, sending papers flying. The frustration had been building for months, and now it was boiling over. "Dammit!" I cursed, pacing the room in a futile attempt to calm myself. We had conquered the Rain Forest Pack with ease, but it had been a hollow victory. Hadrian, that fool, had chosen to die rather than betray his cousin, Isla. He'd poisoned himself before we could get any information out of him. Another dead end.The Fishers were a twisted bunch. Part of me relished the thought of wiping them out for good, to rid the world of their poison. Isla had slipped through our fingers, and I was beginning to fear we’d never find her. If I could only get my hands on her, I would make her pay for taking Celio. She would wish she had never been born.Blade had been another disappointment, another dead end in our search for Celio. We had pushed him to his absolute limits, hoping that the pain and pressure would force

    Jaselyn's POV“Maybe we could…shower together?” I suggested hesitantly. “It might help me relax.”Rion smiled softly, his eyes filled with understanding. “That sounds like a great idea. Come on, let’s get cleaned up.”We both undressed completely, and I followed him into the bathroom. He turned on the shower, adjusting the water temperature until it was just right, then we stepped under the warm spray together.The water cascaded over us, washing away the tension and the grime from the day. Rion wrapped his arms around me from behind, holding me close as the water streamed down our bodies. I leaned back against him, feeling the steady beat of his heart against my back. His touch was gentle, his hands moving over my skin with care, never lingering too long in one place.He washed my hair, his fingers massaging my scalp in slow, soothing circles. I closed my eyes, letting myself relax under

    Jaselyn's POVI agreed to see Nae, but only because I needed to know if she could give me any information about where Isla might have taken Celio. It was my only lead, and I wasn’t about to let it slip through my fingers, no matter how much I despised Nae.Before heading to see her, I turned to Rion. His clothes were torn and stained with dirt and blood from the battle. He looked tired, and I could see the weariness in his eyes despite his usual confident stance. He needed rest, and he needed to be taken care of. After everything he had done for me, it was the least I could do for him.“Come with me,” I said softly, taking his hand. I led him back to our bedroom, feeling a mixture of nerves and determination. “Rion, I want our lives to go back to normal,” I began, my voice wavering slightly. “I want to feel close to you again.”He looked at me with a mix of surprise and concern. “Jas, you don’t h
