ZARA POV

"Zara, you need to stay down. Don't make me kill you," Katrina said loudly.

I desperately tried to yell, 'No, I'm not trying to hurt you!' but the words caught in my throat, swallowed by the suffocating fear that gripped me. I was trapped. An invisible cage surrounded me, my own panic a suffocating weight. I couldn't reach my wolf, couldn't control her. Helpless, I watched in horror as she lunged at Kristina again. There was a sickening crunch, a spray of blood, and Kristina's shriek echoed through the room. She slammed into the wall, like a limp doll.

“Enough!”

Hero's voice boomed through the cabin, making my wolf whimper and shrink to the ground. This was my opportunity. I had to act fast. With a burst of excitement, I lunged towards the chasm. But it was like running into an invisible barrier. I couldn't get through.

Painfully, I bounced back.

Hero leaned closer, his voice a hushed whisper, “Can you walk?” He asked Katrina, his eyes, intense and unwavering, held mine capt

    ZARA POVHe wasn't expecting me to answer that question. I would not admit to what I had desperately been trying to hide since the first time he touched me, and I certainly wouldn't be admitting it because my fuvking wolf boxed me in. It didn't really matter anymore. My body was speaking for itself, loud and clear. I had finally gained some control over my physical being, but it was a strange, unfamiliar kind of control. I couldn't easily direct it, or make it do exactly what I wanted because___It was his. I was his. When the wolf-looking monster had snatched me away, fear was all I felt. I'd faced many torturers before, but they'd always been somewhat restrained by my father. He couldn't have a dead daughter in his hands. The scandal would be unbearableThe moment the monster had thrown me to the ground. As I lay there, I thought I would never wake up again. He was unlike me. I had limits, I had responsibilities now, I had a life to return to. But the monster? He had none of that.

    ZARA POV"Oh, I apologize for startling you like that," the young man said, his voice laced with a hint of amusement. "We haven't had the pleasure of meeting. I'm Elliot." He offered a friendly smile, his eyes twinkling with warmth.“Hey, I'm Zara, I just wanted to say thanks a bunch for saving me out there. I heard all about what you did, and I really appreciate it.”"That was a joint effort," he said, his gaze sweeping across the cabin. "I gave Hero a radio, only to realize I'd given him the one with a dead battery. Luckily, I was able to get back quickly. Does your healer need anything? Mine's back, so she could lend a hand if needed.”He hunched his shoulders and ducked his head, making a conscious effort to appear smaller and less imposing. He stopped a safe distance away, his hands tucked into his pockets. It was a gesture of respect I'd never witnessed from another man. Even Hero, when he'd mistaken me for a vulnerable soul hurt by Weston's rejection, hadn't gone to such length

    HERO POV"She said what?" I muttered to myself, my mind racing. ‘He's not fit to be a father?’ What the hell does that even mean? I couldn't help it as her words kept replaying in my head. I frowned, my gaze following her retreating figure. The way Elliot looked at her wasn't just lust or desire; it was something deeper, something almost reverent. It was the kind of look a starstruck fan gives their idol, the kind a lovesick puppy gives its owner. It was adoration, pure and simple.Zara was a beautiful woman. Here, she would be something new and exciting. The news that she was pregnant clearly didn't bother him. I thought he would get pissed about it and reject her but judging from the children running around in the camp, he was ready to welcome a baby. He was ready to be with her and father the pup. “You're growling again,” Jeremy sighed, his voice laced with weariness. "Tristan is not thrilled about being dragged all the way from Boston to track down Zara, either.”“Nobody should

    ZARA POVHis lips smashed against mine in a bruising kiss.My heart pounded in my chest like a drumbeat as he leaned in, his breath warm against my skin. My toes curled, and I instinctively reached up, my fingers tangling in his hair. Every fiber of my being screamed at me to stop, to pull away. I knew this was a terrible idea, a reckless move that could only lead to heartbreak. Yet, I was frozen, unable to move or think. The tension in my body was unbearable, as if I were about to shatter into a million pieces. I couldn't escape the fear, the pain, the overwhelming confusion that consumed me.But at this moment, I craved his touch.“Did you think of this when he asked you to stay?” Hero snarled, breaking the kiss and tearing my shirt open. “Did you wonder if he could touch you the way I do?”His fingers dug into my side, a painful reminder of his presence. My breasts were naked to him, begging for his touch. All I could think about was the way his lips felt on my skin, the way they m

    ZARA POVHe pressed his lips to mine, a forceful kiss that demanded a response. As he did, the length of his arousal pressed insistently between our bodies. I couldn't resist. My body softened, yielding to his. My breasts flattened against his chest as he moved against me, a primal dance of desire."I want you to know," he whispered, his voice low and intense, "that when you're like this, when you're so wet and eager for me, you're mine. You're my good girl. Don't hold back, Zara. Let it all out. Scream. Let everyone here hear you. Let them know that you belong to me. That I'm taking you with me. You're mine. And oh Goodness, you're so tight. Keep squeezing me like that. Don't stop.”With trembling legs, I struggled to remain standing. Hero strong arms pulled me close. I leaned heavily against him, grateful for his support as he guided me towards the bed. My knees gave way, and I collapsed forward, a sharp cry escaping my lips as his weight bore down on me. He paused, a low growl rumb

    HERO POVMy eyes narrowed, but before I could speak, a loud shout erupted from the cabin next door. I quickly ran towards the sound and flung open the cabin door. As I did, I saw Jeremy and Tristan standing there, both looking flustered. They were pulling a young teenage boy along with them, who seemed scared and confused.I was completely confused and yelled, “What's happening?” But instead of answering, Jeremy threw the boy at my feet.“We caught him breaking into our cabin.” Jeremy responded.“Why don't you fuvk off and suck some dicks. It's my cabin not yours.” The boy murmured, his words slurred. I knelt down, gently grasping his chin. I looked into his eyes, which were dilated and wide."Elliot!" I yelled, my voice booming through the air.The boy instantly flinched, his hands shooting up in a gesture of surrender. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! No need to call him. We're fine here, really.“Then I demand to know what you were sneaking around doing in our cabin.” My voice was sharp, and the

Unfortunately, it seemed like the drug had also affected him as a wolf.I began to doubt my initial assessment of his wolf. Perhaps I had overestimated its strength. But such thoughts were pointless now. The damage was done. Elliot had made it unmistakably clear that we had pushed him too far by making decisions he had nothing to say about. He wanted us gone by morning, and there was no turning back.Boston was walking on his own with a limp but he wasn't at full strength.

    ZARA POVMy wolf, usually not confident, shivered at the mournful sound. Fear, cold and sharp, began to prickle my skin. I knew I had to take control, and quickly. My body began to change, muscles flexing and bones shifting. Everyone else instinctively stepped back, giving me the space I needed. Cyrus, however, seemed lost in his own fear and pain. For a moment, the strange, uncomfortable feeling of my body transforming seemed to distract him from his own distress."Listen, we can't go this way," Cyrus said firmly. "Wolves come through this area, and they never come back. It's too dangerous.”"We have two things that will help us here," Hero said, his voice serious. "First, we have the amulet. Second, we have you. You can feel magic, and that's a powerful skill. Together, we can find our way through this place.”"No way," Cyrus declared. "I'm not going into that place and risk angering some angry wolf spirit.”The ground shook violently, and I squeezed my eyes shut. It wasn't just an

    ZARA POVAnger surged through Hero, his eyes flashing with a dangerous light. But the witch remained defiant, showing no fear. I quickly placed my hand on his arm, stopping him before he could act. “You didn't come here just to seek vengeance,' I reminded him calmly. "You wanted answers – to understand why this terrible thing happened to them.”"I do not have the sight," she said, a hint of bitterness in her voice. "But one thing's certain – no one ventures into these mountains without a purpose. Maybe you can still find a way to get your revenge, or perhaps you'll discover something even more valuable. I can only offer you safe passage to your next destination.”"I've been injured a few times on our journey, even inside their camp. I think my blood might still be there. If you take some of my blood, could you use it to track where I've been?”Before I could say another word, she grabbed my arm. Suddenly, a knife flashed in her hand. “Just so you know,” she hissed, “It's an incredibly

    HERO POV"I think the route we're taking is probably the best option. We have already reached the highest point, but I believe we should veer more towards the east than the west. Paxton Marcua is closer than Stephen's location.”The pull to the west was strong, an undeniable force tugging at every bone in my body. Yet, a nagging doubt lingered, a puzzle piece refusing to fit. Zara's voice cut through my thoughts, "Is everyone aware of these packs?”“Sure. They have been around for ages. You can't really explore the mountain without having to deal with them, why?”“What about the humans who aren't humans?” They have been awfully vague about going to see Paxton. If everyone knew of the packs, then so should they. Why didn't they give us directions straight to Stephen?The amulet suddenly glowed intensely white, and I immediately stopped. “Oh no,” Cyrus whispered under his breath. “There's a powerful surge of magic ahead and to our left.”“And to the right?” I questioned.“Still magic, b
