Ava's POV "Do you even trust me lately?" Standing just inches away, Jackson's voice sliced through the tense quiet like a razor, his gaze searing me. His hand shook a little, as though stuck between going and staying by opening the door. Deep inside me, the genuine vulnerability in his voice touched something."Trust?!" I said coldly, my hands closing at my sides. "How can you ask me that when you have misled me at every turn? You concealed this from me since you knew what they intended. You even know what that feels like?He moved closer, his presence dominating the low light of the safe home. "Ava, I did what I had to. To keep you safe. To defend us. At the end, his voice broke, betraying the power he so valiantly sought to show.Feeling the pull of his words but reluctant to let the barriers surrounding my heart fall apart, I crossed my arms. " protect me? Making me a pawn in their warped game will help? Jackson, I do not need a rescuer. I was hungry for the truth.His jaw tensed

Olivia’s POV Jackson said, "You can't keep doing this." My voice faltered, the tension between us sharpened by the cold evening air. Though it had little effect in shielding me from the storm in his gaze, I wrapped my arms about myself. "You cannot keep choosing for me without asking."Jackson moved forward, his tall figure obscuring the faint moonlight. His voice was low and desperate. "And you cannot keep marching into peril as though you are unbeatable, Olivia. Not at all. And every time you do, it seems as though you are tearing my heart out.His comments struck me like a terrible reminder of how much we still stood to lose and how much we had lost already. I started to reply, but the keen edge of his sensitivity left me briefly mute.At last, my words almost heard above the sound of the rustling leaves, "I don't need you to save me." "You have to believe me. To let me fight my own fights.Jackson ran a hand through his messy hair and laughed bitterly. "You trust us? Olivia, with

Olivia's POV "You don't have to do this," I said, my voice shaking as Jackson's eyes locked with mine. Sharp angles on his face created by the moonlight accentuated the anguish in his eyes. He stood inches away, his body stiff like a coiled spring almost about to break.His growled, low and deadly, "You don't get it, Olivia." "It has been for you every step I have taken and every risk I have taken. For us also."Then why do you find me being pushed away at every turn?" I shot back, my voice breaking with feeling. His remarks weighed against the stifling atmosphere in the room. Jackson, you're concealing something. It shows in your eyes. Tell me the truth, before it ruins both of us.He moved nearer, his presence too strong. "The truth?" he said, a sour laugh breaking free. "You want the truth, Olivia, but it would separate us. A few things are best kept buried.I gripped his arm, my hold strong even if I was within a tempest. " Jackson, I do not require your shielding. I need you. Li

Olivia's POV You are shaking. With his low voice, which combined concern with something worse, Jackson's fingers stroked my wrist. We were hidden in an abandoned warehouse, shivers running down my spine from Victor's guys looking about.I said, lying, "I'm fine," jerking my hand back. The reality was, I wasn't feeling well. My heart was hammering so fiercely it seemed as though it may explode from my chest. Jackson's presence was annoying, excessive, and just too distracting.Stepping forward, he said, "You're a terrible liar." The low light from the flickering bulb overhead accentuated the intensity in his gaze by casting shadows across his sharp features. "What's going on Olivia? And don't tell me it's just Victor.I caught his eye, my throat dry and I swallowed hard. "Right now I cannot do this. Not here, not when they're outside looking about.""You're defying." His voice now was more exact, tinged with annoyance. "You usually act in a way when it becomes too real. Chat with me.

Isabella's POV "Do you even realize Jackson, what you are doing? Given where I am now, you are one step away from losing everything—" My words stopped as he closed the space between us in one deliberate step, his sharp eyes making my heart pound.Jackson snarled, his deep rumble sending thrills down my spine. "Stop talking, Isabella." "When you're saying things like that, I can't think."Oh, you couldn't think? How handy," I said, my voice trembling with both wrath and the intolerable pull of him. "Because it seems as though you considered everything but us. Except me!The alley behind us was absolutely quiet, the sort of hush screaming danger. But I was too far gone, too engrossed in the maelstrom building between us, to care. Jackson stopped short as his jaw clenched and his hand extended as though to touch me.With a faltering voice, "You think this is easy for me?" he said. "Every second, every decision I am considering keeps you alive. Right now, just that counts to me.I said,

Isabella's POV Do you consider this to be love? Jackson's words were a harsh snarl, his black eyes jabbing into me as the faint light from the warehouse flickering over us."I don't know what to think anymore," I yelled back, my voice shaking but sharp. "Look around, Jackson; you claim you're shielding me. Chaos follows every time I am around you!He moved forward, the strain between us flickering like a live wire. His jaw tightened and his hands closed into fists at his sides. "You find me to have chosen this? You assume I wanted you pulled into my universe?"Then why not let me leave? I pushed past the anxiety that seized my chest and demanded.His hand darted out to grasp my wrist and drag me in front. He growled, his breath hot on my skin, "Because I can't, Isabella. Losing you is not an alternative. Not to them, and not to this craziness."My heart hammered as I gazed up at him, emotions a whirl-pool. His hold relaxed somewhat, and for a brief instant vulnerability showed over h

Isabella's POV"You shouldn't have followed me," I muttered, pushing Jackson's chest and sounding desperate and angry.His hands seized mine, steadying them. You actually think I would let you face him alone? His comments combined irritation with something softer—something I couldn't define right now.I pulled my hands free and started to pace the gloomy room. The one lamp in the warehouse created ghostly shadows on the walls. Jackson, you don't comprehend. He is not only deadly; he is a dream from which you cannot wake-up.Jackson moved forward, his voice lowering to a whisper. And you're mine.His words struck me like a lightning bolt, and I momentarily stopped breathing. It was difficult to hang on to my wrath since the intensity in his eyes and his gaze toward me like I was the only thing that mattered.Whispering away, I said, "Don't say things like that.""Could not?" He moved in front of me, staring right back. "Because it frightens you? Or since you are aware of it's factual?

"Isabella... It's me."My heart fell into my stomach as the words pierced through the air, thick with an uncomfortable familiarity. The figure before me was lit by the car's headlights, creating a lengthy shadow across the ground. Though I still prayed I was wrong, I could not see his face to identify who it was.I was not moving or breathing. Though my legs would not follow, my thoughts shouted for me to flee."No... no, it can't be you," I said, my voice hardly audible, as if speaking louder might shatter the delicate reality I was attempting to hang onto.He moved closer, the faint click of his boots resounding in the still evening. "Isabella, we must speak." His speech was cool, steady, as though nothing about the circumstances had altered.Blinking confused, I "Ask?" I kept repeating, my words like a slap against the mental chaos. "You left me...you betrayed me." My chest hurt like a tsunami of wrath mixed with sadness.He was not offended by the charge. His sharp, deliberate eye

Turning to watch Jackson barreling into the clearing, his wolf form was magnificent and horrible. He wasted no time flinging himself at the closest renegade with a passion that astounded me.Though brief, relief washed over me. The shadows moved once again, as a fresh person entered the area.He was towering and intimidating, with nasty glistening eyes. "Well, isn't this touching?," he said in a sarcastic voice. The courageous Luna and her warriors.Marcus, I spat, venomous in my voice.He grinned and looked over the devastation. Ava, I cautioned you. One cannot run from the past. And you most definitely cannot run from me.He lifted his hand before I could reply, and a flash of black energy rushed at me. I tuned myself, but it never hit.Riley launched himself in front of me with full assault might."No!." As he sank to the ground, his wolf shape flickering before he turned back into his human nature, I shouted.Jackson hissed, blazingly angry eyes guiding him toward Marcus. Marcus w

I'm locked in. No one knows how to get out. I detect it. Panic claws at the margins of my thoughts, my pulse thuds in my ears. Here's how we got here. How rapidly did things spiral?My fingers shake at my sides, and my brain runs for any answer. But not at all. Only me, powerless here. Levi... God, Levi's blood is staining the concrete and I am unable to stop it."Please, Marcus," I say, my voice breaking with need. "Please, please do not do this. I will do anything, I promise to God. Anything your wish is for. Just try not to damage him. kindly.He tilts his head as if he is thinking about what I said, and he smiles sickeningly. His firm hold on the pistol narrows. "Everything? You believe you still have something worth offering me?Though I'm not sure what I anticipate, Marcus fires before I could respond.The gunshot had an unbearable sound.But it's not me.My heart rushing, blood hammering in my ears, I automatically lower to the ground. Turning, eyes wide, I see something that s
THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 153: Bound by Secrets
I cannot lose you once more, Evie. Not like this. Not once again.Levi's voice is a harsh whisper on my skin; his words pierce the shroud of uncertainty and anxiety clouding my head. His hands quiver as they draw me in, his warmth sustaining me in this whirl of anarchy.In my chest, my heart beats wild and chaologically. Though everything seems to be disintegrating, I find it difficult to distance myself from him. His words and his touch really felt so authentic and honest. The pain I went through upon believing I lost him may easily overwhelm me once more. But the danger—that of Marcus—that is all too real. Too perilous.My voice quivering, I say, "I'm not going anywhere." "But we have to—”I swivel around, heart jumping into my throat, the sharp sound of cracking glass cutting me short. Under the low light of the alley, the figure's shadow blocks the passage. Breath freezes in my throat.He's it. Marcus?"You thought you could escape me, didn't you?," said Given the circumstances, h
THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 152: Shattered Bonds
Though I can't concentrate on anything except the heat of Levi's fingers clutching mine, the planet is disintegrating all around me. Knowing we have limited time, my heart is racing not only from anxiety but also from the intense feeling that this may be the final time I spend with him."Levi, we have to go—now, my voice quakes with panic."With his clenched jaw, he draws me in and I can see the weight of what we have gone through in his eyes. Though he is staring at something I cannot yet see, his dark and strong eyes convey everything I need to know: danger is near. overly near."I am not leaving you," he adds, his voice a hoarse growl of will. "Not again.."I wonder whether he is speaking to himself or to me. Still, I feel it. The truth was found in his comments. Everything we have endured weighs less now than this. Marcus, the falling stone walls—the improbable chances—we have come so far; now, everything depends on this one instant.Hearing the sound of feet behind us—faint at fi
THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 151: "Threads of Fate”
The man slanted his head slightly, as though entertained by my query. "I am the one dragging the threads straight from the darkness. The one waiting for this turning point. And about what I wish for... The person fixed cold, objective eyes on me. "You have to decide something. a decision meant to either rescue or ruin everything.With fast, shallow breaths, Evie's hand tightened in mine. "Levi," she said, her voice breaking with terror. "please. You really have to trust me. Choose not to pay attention to him."The person advanced still another step, their gaze narrowing. " Trust her?" They laughed dimly. "How can you believe someone who hardly knows her? Someone who from the beginning has been lying to you?Turning to Evie, the weight of her words etched in my chest. "Is that true? Evie... I asked, hardly sure I could keep my voice steady. "What then is happening? Not what are you not telling me?"The voice of the stranger came out once again, louder now before she could respond. Levi

Varian's smile grew wider, his eyes shining with a terrible, nasty pleasure. "To release a power outside your comprehension. She belongs to a lineage of entities designed to transform our planet. And her blood? It is the essence of everything.My heart came to a standstill. Blood, please. What was he referring to?"Don't listen to him, Levi," Evie urged, her voice cracking and desperation leaking through the gaps. "He's lying. He is controlling you. He usually has.But Varian turned her aside, staring just at me. His tone caustic, he spat, "You don't get it, do you, Levi?" She is not any ordinary person. She is the one who may bring either the birth of a new world or the end of this one. And you, he added, his eyes narrowing, "you're standing in my way."I knew nothing about what to do. What Varian was saying eluded me in terms of logic. All I knew, all I believed was real, was disintegrating.Once more I looked at Evie, but she was shaking her head and tears were running down her che
THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 149: Shattered Trust
"Levi, please, just trust me!" Now she was trembling, her voice a combination of terror and something more—a plea, a warning. " This thing... it's after me."My ears could hear my pulse pound. Her comments have weight like those of a goods train. "Once you?" I asked, voice just a whisper. "Evie, you are hunting this thing?"The beast howled before she could reply, the sound splintering the air. I halted momentarily, not sure what was happening; it was like the roar of a beast and the wail of a dying man.I turned back to Evie, but her gaze had altered. Now, there was something icy about it—a resolution that froze me right down. "Levi, you have to go." At now. Before it becomes too late.I shook my head, shoved her behind me. "Not a probability. I am not bidding you farewell here.She grasped my arm, her hold overly strong. You must have. Should we not, it will wipe us both. Ask kindly.She kept me steady as I attempted to back off. Her eyes softened, only a little, as though she were
THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 148: The Final Confrontation
A terrible, all-consuming terror seized my chest as the world darkened. My senses went wild and I could feel everything falling down right away. My sole anchor was the firm hold on my shoulder; my breath came in short spurts. Desperate for anything, anything to grip, I reached out.Levi... Evie's voice sounded far-off, a faint whisper that accentuated the terror chewing at me. "Levi, what's happening?"I had no retort for her. The gloom seemed overly weighty, too oppressive. Something cold pushed, metallic, and sharp pressed on my flesh; I automatically withdrew attempting to get away.Riley, the woman, leaned forward grinning wickedly from her lips. "You really thought you had control, didn't you?" Her voice sent chills up my spine like ice."Let him run!" Stronger now, Evie yelled, her voice tinged with an underlying horror I couldn't ignore.Riley's hold tightened, dragging me even nearer. Though it was pointless, I battled her grasp. Her strength felt surreal, as though she drew f
THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 147: "A Promise in the Dark”
The planet appeared to spin at that instant. A huge crack sounded far away, then a deep, rumbling sound shook the earth underneath. The very ground seemed to be complaining, straying under the weight of something far more potent than I could understand.The shadows moved suddenly, then the unmistakable sound of shackles rattling. From the distance, a weak glow flickering revealed a shadowy figure rising from the gloom.Her face was hidden yet her shape was silhouetted against the low light. Her motions frenetic as she twisted and tugged, I could see her trying against the chains but she was nowhere."Evie!," My heart was hammering in my chest, I yelled. "Don't—,"The man's grasp tightened on my arm, pressing till it seemed as though the bones in my wrist were about to break before I could finish. "Don't waste your breath," he remarked frigantly. She had already left.Fury blazing in my chest, I turned to confront him. "You are lying!"But another crack louder this time rang in the dis
