STACY. As Jason and I pull up to one of the fancy restaurants around the pack, my mind is still racing... The memory of the van, the screeching tires, and Jason’s arms around me flashes through my thoughts again and again. I shift in my seat, feeling anxious of what almost happened, but Jason d
“I visit them every week,” he continues, “because it fills a part of me that was empty after I buried you and Liam.” I don’t know what to say. My heart aches at his confession, and for the first time in years, I see a side of Jason I didn’t think existed. Maybe he isn't that bad of a person after
JASON. Stacy’s door slams shut, and I’m left sitting alone in my car, her sharp words still hanging in the air like a slap to the face after I just spoke to my son. False hope? The accusation digs deep, but I can’t say she’s wrong. I did tell Liam what he wanted to hear, and I meant every word
--- When I get home, the first thing I see is Nicole sitting in the kitchen, sipping a glass of wine like she hasn’t done a damn thing wrong. “Nicole,” I snap, and her head jerks up. She blinks at me, all fake innocence, but I’m not in the mood to play her games. “Which document did you capture

STACY "Is it just me, or is time standing still in this pack?" I swirl the red wine in my glass, staring blankly at the kitchen counter as my mind replays the day's events. From receiving two unknown threats on my life to hearing Jason’s reckless promises to Liam, the weight of it all presses h
I lean back, sinking into the high stool. “I guess you’re right. I just... I don’t want to make another mistake.” “You won’t,” Daniel says firmly. “And whatever happens, you’ll always have people to lean on. Like me.” A small smile tugs at my lips, the tension in my chest loosening. “Thanks, Dan
STACY. Jason leans in too much, lowering his voice just a little. His intoxicating scent takes over me like a warm embrace, pulling me closer with every breath, leaving my mind hazy and my heart racing in a way I can't control. “I think you should add more flowers. They soften the mood. Kind of
"You’re a damn tease," I snap. Daniel only smirks before lowering his mouth to my breast, his tongue flicking over my nipple before sucking it between his lips. "Mmm," I murmur, arching my back to press my breast further into his mouth. My body is on fire, every nerve ending alive under his touc
HANNAH "You want proof that you are the only woman I love? Fine. I'll show you proof," Daniel says while locking the bedroom door behind him. I frown slightly as my pulse quickens. "What do you think you are doing?” He doesn't respond to my question but walks toward me with the grace of a leop
She nods faintly, leaning against me as we walk. But just as we reach the steps, Roxanne stumbles. I react instantly, catching her before she can fall. Her hands grip my shoulders for support, and as I pull her upright, our faces end up dangerously too close even for my own comfort. Her breath bru
Roxanne doesn’t react immediately. She just studies me, her eyes flickering with something I can’t quite place. I don’t offer more because that’s the truth. Hannah isn’t perfect. But with her, I don’t feel the weight of politics, alliances, or expectations pressing down on me. She makes me feel al
DANIEL. (Meanwhile on the side of the pack) The quiet hum of the air conditioning fills Roxanne’s hotel suite, but it does nothing to cool the unease settling in my chest while I sit on the couch with my fingers tapping absent minded against my knee as I stare at the untouched glass of whiskey on
I roll my eyes, my patience thinning. "I’m not asking for permission. I just need to go somewhere." More awkward silence. Just as I’m about to snap, one of the younger drivers steps forward. "I can drive you anywhere you need to go, Luna." I study him for a moment. He looks nervous but determi
HANNAH "Are you sure Hannah won't mind?" Roxanne asks innocently, her eyes glancing in my direction. 'Yes, I mind bitch!!!' Mu wolf screams angrily in my head, I fold my arms tightly across my chest, watching as Daniel steps closer to her. Every part of me is screaming not to let them leave toge
Karen hesitates for a second, her eyes flickering to Daniel before nodding. "Right away, Luna." Daniel arches a brow, a small smirk playing on his lips. "I'm glad you are returning to our room," he teases. "this way, l will take care of you even better." I whirl around, my patience already hangi
HANNAH. I watch in disbelief as Roxanne’s parents, a wealthy and respected looking couple, look at Daniel with desperation. "If money is what you need," her father says, pulling out a checkbook, "we will pay you whatever amount you want. Just allow Roxanne to stay with you in her final days."
