HERO POV

I come awake with a start, and even before I open my eyes, I know she's gone. Fuck, fuck, fuck, how could I have not woken up when she left? I’m used to sleeping with my awareness at the forefront of my consciousness, ready to awaken at the slightest noise.

Clearly, the sex last night went to my head.

Her scent cling to everything in the hotel room. The couch where I had first made her cum. The bedsheets where I had fucked her until well into the night. The shower where I had carried her Just before daybreak because we had ruined the bed and fucked against the tilt. The towel that I had laid down on the bathroom counter while I bent her over it and hammered her into it.

We had finally fallen asleep on the couch. When I had woken up, I had realized that she hadn't taken the clothes I had offered her or the dress. She must have shifted and returned home as a wolf.

I glance around and notice something glimmering on the pillow. I walk over and picked it up. It's a chain she wa

    HERO POVWhen Weston and his soon-to-be bride left, I returned to my hotel room to discover that it wasn't empty. Jeremy turned from the window with a deep frown masked on his face. “I don't think the bleach would do any justice. You may have to set the whole bed on fire before the hotel can let anyone else sleep here.”The acrid scent of bleach mingled with the lingering, cloying sweetness of her perfume was all I could smell.But be honest, he wasn't wrong. The sheet had been changed, the carpets had been upholstery cleaned to perfection, at my request, but it still managed to smell of sex and her even after much room freshener sprayed.“You were at the ball last night?” I countered, my tone equally sharp.My second in command and my best friend raised his eyebrow at me. “And you were not? I was told you played the hero again but this time around to the humiliated beauty in the torn dress. I would only ask one question,” Jeremy's voice was laced with accusation.“Did you enjoy yours

    ZARA POVSEVENTEEN DAYS LATER The heavy wooden door and window, barred and locked, loomed in front of me. Outside, a guard stood watch, his presence a constant reminder of my imprisonment. It was a foolish attempt to flee when my father was away, thinking I was safe. Paul, my father's ruthless second-in-command, relished the opportunity to inflict pain upon me, a pleasure he had been denied since the night of the ill-fated ball. I should have known he'd been keeping tabs on me.I felt stupid, I felt like shit,A wave of self-loathing washed over me. I should have stayed with Hero. The memory of his warm touch, his knowing smile, was a distant, painful dream. I’d been a fool to let fear dictate my actions.There was this connection between us. I don't even know if it's a mate bond but I strongly doubt it, but most wolves got this bond even if they weren't fated mates.If Hero didn't want to Marry me, he might at least give me a small place in his pack. I had considered telling him th

    ZARA POVThe heavy, wooden door creaked open, casting a sliver of moonlight across the cold, damp floor. It was nearly four in the morning, an eternity since I had last seen Sonja. A wave of relief washed over me as I saw the guard, slumped over on the ground, his head lolling limply. The sleeping draught had worked.The cell was tiny, barely large enough for a cot and a small, wooden table. The walls were bare and cold, and the only sound was the distant hum of the prison generators. I had been confined to this miserable place for what felt like an age, my mind consumed by thoughts of escape and the one person I couldn't stop thinking about.She twirled the key between her fingers, a nervous habit."Paul and the others are on a mission down south. We should head to the North River and then go our separate ways. Are you certain you won't join me? My father has a place for us," she said quietly."Hey, did you tell him about this plan?" I asked, my voice sharper than I'd meant it to be.

    ZARA POV'Clinging.'The word echoed through my brain like a broken record. He wasn't exactly welcoming me with open arms like I had imagined. I let my arms wrap themselves around my naked body. “I…I'm sorry, Hero. I'm honestly not trying to be clingy. I’m in some kind of a big mess, and I thought you could render some help.” "Hero?" The man next to him barked, and I flinched. I'd almost forgotten we had an audience. What had Hero called him? Jeremy. "Don't you ever call him Hero again, or I'll feed your tongue to the deadly animals in the woods.”I quickly looked down, realising my mistake. In my eagerness to talk to him, I had forgotten to be respectful. "I apologise," I mumbled, my voice barely a whisper. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart, before speaking again.“Alpha of the Black Haw pack. I didn't mean to offend you.” I uttered even if I knew that my initial plan was going off the rails already.The men around him fell silent, their eyes drawn to him. I cauti

    ZARA POVI gradually got up from the damp floor of the forest that chilled my skin while letting my wolf’s instinct take over. She was the only one who could run, evade, and hide. I was only good at messing things up, apparently.I was so wrong, so incredibly stupid. Weston was just like my father, and at least I managed to avoid the disaster of getting married to him. But it was plain foolish to pin all my hopes on a man I barely knew.Even more foolish thinking that he would save me from the controlling hands of my father. I was a fucking dumb ass. My small, speedy wolf was a blur of fur in the thick woods. She was like a tiny, powerful bullet, darting and dodging with ease. I only noticed something was wrong when she disappeared under a low bush, completely ignoring Hero’s thought.The air was thick with the stale scent of damp clothes, a foul odour that made her nose wrinkle. As she moved cautiously forward, she realised the source of the stench: a pack of werewolves, not just o

    ZARA POVThe smell of burning wood and sizzling meat tickled my nose, pulling me from the depths of sleep. As my eyes fluttered open, I realised something was amiss. My wolf form was gone, replaced by the familiar warmth of blankets. Night had enveloped the forest, casting long, dancing shadows. Confused and disoriented, I sat up, only to find five pairs of curious eyes fixed upon me.I gasped, my breath ragged, and pulled the blanket over my head."Alright, team," Hero's voice cut through the tense silence. "We need to make sure this place is secure. Spread out, check every corner. Keep your eyes peeled and your weapons ready."With a nod, everyone dispersed, disappearing into the shadows. Only Jeremy remained, a wooden bowl of steaming noodles held out towards me. "Eat," he ordered, his voice low. I hesitated, but the enticing aroma was too much to resist.”As I dug into the warm, comforting meal, Hero's gaze never left me. His expression was unreadable, a mask of indifference. I co

    HERO POVHer face froze in shock, her eyes wide and unblinking. A moment passed, then another, as she struggled to comprehend the words she had just heard. Finally, she found her voice, her tone laced with disbelief."I... what? I don't think that's possible," she stammered, her voice barely a whisper.“Why not?” "It's not real, you know. Just a silly and stupid story to give people goosebumps. I mean, look around," she gestured at the peaceful surroundings. "It's just a peaceful mountain. A big, harmless mountain. Nothing to be afraid of!”“I’m not playing games here. The mountain is a harsh reality, and the rogue wolves are a constant threat. If you leave, they’ll hunt you down. They’ll tear you and your unborn child to shreds.”I didn't want to, but my eyes fell to her belly. The second I caught the faint scent of her pup, my wolf went crazy. It had been there, a silent predator, ever since she vanished into the woods.I had darted after her, eager to keep pace. But her wolf was a

    ZARA POV"Jeremy, please stop! You're hurting me!" I yelled, my voice barely audible over the sound of my own ragged breathing.His grip tightened, and I winced in pain. "You need to be quiet," he hissed, his voice low and menacing. "If you don't, you won't have to worry about seeing your father anymore. You'll be dead.”The fear that gripped my heart was almost unbearable. I knew he meant what he said. He was capable of anything. I tried to calm my breathing, to still my trembling body. But the more I struggled, the tighter his grip became.We were so far from Hero that he couldn't hear us, but I still yelled and fought back. I punched Jeremy hard on the back, again and again, but it didn't bother him at all. He didn't even flinch."Enough!" he sighed, his voice laced with exasperation. "Hero was absolutely right about you. You're so stubborn, it's unbelievable. You'd rather die out here than see your own father?

He stumbled into the room, the air thick with the stench of metallic blood. His gaze, wild and searching, fell upon his brother, sprawled lifeless on the blood-soaked rug.A strangled cry escaped Harold’s lips. He staggered towards the body, his knees buckling beneath him. "No... no!" he choked, his voice raw with grief. "Henry,"Trisha, her face pale and drawn, followed close behind. She gasped, her eyes widening at the gruesome scene. "Oh Goodness," she whispered, her voice trembling. "What… what happened?"Harold, his hands trembling violently, reached out to touch his brother's cold, lifeless cheek. "Henry," he moaned, the word a guttural sob. "Who did this?”He slowly looked up at me, his eyes blazed with fury. The world seemed to tilt.

A big smile spread across my face as I glanced at the calendar hanging on the wall of the room given to me at the pack house. Each ticked-off day on the April calendar brought me closer to my special day. Today was finally the 28th of April, my eighteenth birthday! I couldn't contain my excitement.Turning eighteen for most wolves is a big deal. It's when we usually shift into our wolf forms for the first time and meet our inner wolves. I'm even more excited than most, because I've been Mute since I was born. I had been like this since I was a baby, wrapped in the arms of my dead mother. She had been killed by a pack of lone wolves.

    ZARA POVGrant finished his meal, a happy little mess of baby food smeared around his mouth. Hero, with a gentle smile, lifted him into his arms. "Okay, little man," Hero said, his voice soft, "tell Daddy all about your day."Grant, in response, let out a series of excited baby noises, a mix of gurgles and happy babbling. He waved his tiny hands, as if trying to tell a grand story that only he understood. Hero chuckled, bouncing him lightly up and down. Grant's laughter filled the room, a sweet, pure sound that made my heart melt.I couldn't help but smile. It was like watching magic happen. Before, Hero had been so unsure, so worried about being a father. But now, seeing them together, it was clear he was a natural. Grant absolutely adored him. His eyes lit up whenever Hero was near, and Hero, in return, spent every free moment with his son.Every time I saw them together, Hero had this big, open smile. It was like he'd found something he never knew he was missing. It was a smile tha

    ZARA POVONE YEAR LATERThe bright summer sun streamed through the window, making the dust motes dance in the air. A warm breeze carried the scent of freshly cut grass, and the sound of birds chirping filled the garden. Inside, the living room was a cheerful chaos of baby toys and soft blankets.Kristina was sitting on the plush sofa, her eyes wide and sparkling as she cradled Grant in her arms. He was almost a year old now, a chubby little bundle of joy with big, curious eyes. He gurgled happily, reaching out tiny hands to tug at Kristina's bright pink shirt."Oh, he's just the sweetest thing!" Kristina sighed, her voice full of pure adoration. "Look at those eyes! And his little hands! He's absolutely perfect."I smiled, leaning against the doorway. "He is, isn't he? He gets those eyes from Hero.""And that hair! Just like Hero's too," Kristina added, gently stroking Grant's soft, dark curls. "He's a mini-Hero. You're so lucky, Zara. I swear, if I wasn't your best friend right now,

Are you sure?"Her eyes, wide and filled with a raw, primal fear, locked onto mine. "Yes! I'm sure! Oh, it hurts, Hero. It hurts so much!"She swayed, her legs buckling beneath her. I reacted instantly, leaping forward and catching her before she could fall. "Zara! Hold on, hold on.”"Oh, it's coming, Hero. It's really coming!" she gasped, her voice thick with pain. "It's… it’s like a fire inside.""Jeremy! Guys! We need help!" I yelled, my voice cracking with urgency. "Now!"Instead of the swift, coordinated response I expected, they walked towards us. A wave of cheers erupted, and my eyes widened in disbelief. Jeremy and the others stood there, beaming, holding bottles of sparkling wine and brightly colored balloons. "Congratulations, Hero! Congratulations, Zara!”They started clapping, oblivious to the chaos unfoldin

    HERO POVMy hands were shaking. I mean, really shaking. I tried to smooth down my shirt, but it didn't help. I was standing right in front of the place. We had put up lights, flowers, everything. It was supposed to look like a dream, the kind of place you see in movies. I had spent all day, every single minute, trying to make it perfect. I wanted it to be just right for Zara.I took a deep breath. It didn't do much. My heart was pounding like a drum. I kept thinking, "What if she doesn't like it? What if it's not good enough?" I looked around again. We had hung little lights everywhere. They twinkled, even though it wasn't dark yet. We had put up her favorite flowers, the bright yellow ones. I had even gotten some special candles that smelled like vanilla, her favorite."Man, you look like you're about to jump out of your skin," Jeremy said. He was standing next to me, trying to look cool. He always looked cool. I wished I could be that calm."I'm nervous," I admitted. "Really nervous

They told the truth about trying to hurt me. Because of this, my father was going to lose his position as Alpha. He was in big trouble.But we had a big problem. We couldn't tell everyone about the mountain. It had too much magic. If other packs found out, they could use it for bad things. So, we all agreed to keep the mountain a secret.I knew Mascold wasn't happy about us leaving the mountain because they were torn between the fear of letting their secret out. Paxton and his mate tried to talk to us then and we had refused. I felt glad I had turn them down because right now, I was walking back into my old house to confront my father finally. It should have been my home, but it never really felt like it. I walked tall and proud. No one dared to touch me.I wondered why. Maybe they knew Hero was my mate, an

    HERO POV"Are you alright?" I asked again, my voice low. I looked at her wrists, at the marks left by the cuffs, and at the rough collar around her neck. A wave of anger washed over me, a hot, burning feeling. Even though Weston was gone, I wanted to hurt him again, just for touching her like this. How could anyone do this to her?She blinked slowly, her eyes looking tired. "Yeah," she whispered, "I'm... I'm okay." She paused, her eyes fluttering. "But... I think I'm going to faint.”And then, just like that, she went limp in my arms. I felt a surge of panic. "Zara!" I called, but she didn't respond. I held her close, carefully lifting her into my arms. She was so light.I walked out of the cabin, the wooden floor creaking under my boots. The night air was cool, and the moon was bright, casting long shadows. I held Zara tightly, my heart pounding.Suddenly, I heard a soft rustling sound from the trees nearby. It was a subtle sound, like leaves moving, but my senses were sharp. I stopp
