ZARA POV

Finna was standing at the front door of the witch, pounding on it with her fist. “Sabrina,” she yelled, ”It's me! I've got someone with me, and we're coming in. So, don't throw any knives at us!”

"I don't understand, why would she throw knives at our heads?" I asked.

“Because the only person who visits her right now is her mate, and he is the reason she is mad all the time, so she throws knives at him.” Finna whispered in a low tone.

"Wait a minute," I said, "Did you just say she has a mate? Like, a werewolf mate?”

"Yeah, but it's a bit tricky to explain. Come on, we don't have all day." She opened the door and stepped inside. I was stopped in my tracks. Standing on the kitchen top shelf was a woman. Tall and slender, with long, flowing purple hair that cascaded down her back. Her eyes, an eerie shade of purple, seemed to glow with an inner light. I felt a shiver run down my spine. There was something… magical about her.

"Sabrina," Finna said calmly, "this is Zara. She could

    ZARA POVI shifted back into my human form, and Hana stepped away. I took a deep breath, feeling a bit nervous. Maybe coming here alone wasn't such a good idea. My wolf was still confused and frightened, and I was worried about scaring them. Even though Finna could probably hold me down, I was still a wolf out of control, and it was easy for me to cause trouble without meaning to.I looked at Hana and asked, “Do you know why this bond has disappeared?”The radio in my pants crackled. “Zara,” Hero's voice boomed, filled with anger. “Where the fucking heck are you? I gave you one simple order: take a guard with you. Did you do that? No! You went off alone, and you went to a witch's den!”I looked up at them, feeling a little embarrassed. “He didn't mean it like that,” I explained. “He's just a bit upset.”"A bit," Sabrina repeated slowly, as if savoring the word.I turned down the volume on the radio. “Do you realize that everyone around here can hear what you're saying?” I asked quietl

    HERO POVAt that moment, I didn't care about them discovering that I was the Alpha King.I bowed my head and let out a low growl, my voice rumbling deep in my chest. Zara responded with a growl of her own. In return, I snarled at her, pushing a surge of powerful energy towards her. Her eyes narrowed, and with a frustrated huff, she finally pulled her claws away from Sabrina."I'm fine," Sabrina said quickly, sitting up straight. "She didn't hurt me at all. Could you please hold onto her for a few more minutes? Hana!”Hana took a step closer, raising her hands in a calming gesture. “Hey, I'm not here to cause any trouble,” she said gently. “You're looking for answers about why you can't feel the bond, aren't you, Zara? I understand how frustrating that must be. I can help you understand what's going on. All I need to do is touch you. Would you let me?”I wanted to make sure I had Zara's full attention. I shifted in my position and said, “Hold on a second, I want to be certain we have h

    ZARA POVMy wolf didn't just surrender control. It felt like she was retreating, withdrawing deep within me, as if licking its wounds. Hero's look of disgust had shattered us both. The moment I regained control, a change began to wash over me. My senses heightened, my body aching with a primal energy. I felt the fur begin to sprout, the bones shifting and lengthening. Sabrina silently handed me a pair of jeans and a worn leather jacket, her eyes that of concern and something that might have been pity. No one spoke, the silence was heavy with unspoken words."I wonder if there's a way to fix these bonds," I said, not looking up. "Do you think magic could mend them?” Hana looked over at Sabrina and then back at me. “I would be totally honest with you, I do not have any idea. There isn't much information on wolf magic that's available to witches. I’m not even certain how a witch would have gone about removing this bond to begin with. Your best course of action right now is to find the

    ZARA POV"Back home, my father runs the show, and is in full charge." I said, pulling on my leggings and a big shirt. I brushed my hair out of my face. "He always gets what he wants and has a way of charming everyone. People like him, even those outside our… group. He comes from a long line of strong and dominant wolf leaders. No one ever argues with him or challenges his decisions. When he wants something, he finds a way to get it.”“My mother and him weren't even mates. He forced himself on her. He was really obsessed with her to a certain extent that he made her do things she didn't want to. Sadly, she died soon after I was born. My dad thinks it's my fault, and he often says he wishes I had died instead. He's the only family I've ever known. He calls me a spoiled princess, and I guess he's right. I feel like a princess locked in a tower, unable to do anything.”"A princess kept in an ivory tower?" Finna scoffed, her voice dripping with sarcasm.“The attic was my sanctuary. It had

    HERO POV"Let me get this straight," the Alpha on the computer screen said slowly, his gaze fixed on me. "You're saying Stephen left the mountain some years ago, and is somehow responsible for your siblings' deaths?" Baxter, unlike most wolves I encountered – both on the mountain and elsewhere – kept his hair closely cropped, almost like a soldier. It was clear he took meticulous care of his appearance, shaving it down daily. His expression was skeptical, a flicker of doubt dancing in his eyes, but I could tell he was intrigued by my story.Baxter was Stephen's second-in-command, but I never fully trusted him. Paxton claimed Baxter had always aimed to overthrow Stephen, not out of loyalty or revenge, but simply to seize power. With Stephen now dead and Baxter as the new Alpha, it seemed his plan had succeeded."I know the specific month. At that time, you would have been his second-in-command, right? I'm wondering if you know if Stephen ever left the mountain during that period.” I qu

    HERO POVI shook my head, feeling a grim sadness. “My brother wasn't like that__Nathan wasn't a greedy or controlling leader who was power-hungry. He cared deeply about his pack and would always protect them. If anyone tried to hurt them, he would fight back. I suspected someone was trying to take over, but I couldn't find any proof. Maybe the answers are hidden here, with Stephen, but he's gone. Someone else must know what happened.”Paxton began to pace, his brow furrowed in thought. “Stephen has two things that completely consumed him," he explained, “Being an Alpha, which he finally accomplished, and Finna. If he was involved in something, you can bet it was somehow connected to one of those two things. There's absolutely no chance he'd risk his position or Finna's safety by trying to take over another pack. It simply doesn't make sense.”“Finna?” Well isn't that interesting. “Your mate, Finna?” “There's a reason Stephen isn't well liked.” Paxton responded.There was a loud knock

    ZARA POVFinna had definitely been the one who came up with this entire plan, and we weren't exactly friends. But the way she was gripping my arm, so hard it almost hurt, made me wonder if she was trying to be. Even so, I really didn't want to see Hero. The disgusted look he'd given me earlier was still fresh in my mind, a heavy weight in my stomach."You really went to hunt one of those things by yourself?" Paxton exclaimed, his voice echoing loudly."I wasn't alone, my love," Finna said softly. "Eleven other wolves were with me. We worked together.”“In your condition?” He yelled again. "I'm begging you, please stop yelling. I'm pregnant, not dying. I know I'm hormonal and maybe a little crazy right now, but this constant screaming is really upsetting me.” Finna said softly. "You didn't tell me," he said, his voice surprisingly calm.“Because you were in a meeting, remember?” Paxton halted abruptly in front of us, his eyes wide with disbelief. They seemed to bulge out of his head

    ZARA POV"Cameron," Hero sighed, turning to face him, "I know this is a difficult question, but is there absolutely any way at all that you can perform a paternity test on her to figure out who the father of the baby is?”He just wouldn't stop talking about it, and his voice was so irritatingly loud. I felt so embarrassed. I wished the ground would just open up and swallow me whole. I closed my eyes and tried to hold back the tears that were starting to well up."The procedure exists," Cameron said calmly, "but it's a very hard thing for the mother to go through. It's incredibly painful.”His sentence was met with silence, and I finally opened my eyes. I'd had enough. It was time to end this. “Just do it,” I mumbled."I had truly hoped that your own request would be enough to convince me, but I understand the significant risks involved for the baby. Performing this procedure goes against my ethical and medical principles. I will not carry it out, and I will not allow it to be performe

"Something on your mind?"She met my eyes, a flicker of something I noticed like – shyness? anticipation? – crossing her features before she offered a soft smile. "You're very confident," she replied, a playful glint in her eyes. "You think you can just… make me… you know…”I chuckled, a low rumble in my chest. "Is that a challenge?" I teased, my fingers tracing the line of her jaw. "Because I'm more than happy to accept. I'm not just going to make you come, darling. I'm going to make you moan my name. I'm going to make you tremble. I'm going to make you forget everything but the moment. Like I always do," I added, a slight hint of playful arrogance in my voice.Cupping her face in my hands, I leaned in, my breath ghosting over her lips.

    HERO POVThe weight of the last four hours pressed down on me. Four long hours of so many question, of whispered confessions, of horrified gasps. Talking to everyone who had lived under Elliott's rule had been… draining. Most of them genuinely hadn't known what he was doing. They were shocked, horrified, some even physically ill at the revelations. Their faces, that of disbelief and disgust, while we explained what Elliot had been doing.Others… Well, others tried the "I didn't know" routine. But a wolf can't lie. Their inner animal betrayed them, the tell-tale flick of an ear, a nervous shift of weight, giving away their deception. And then there were those who admitted they knew, their eyes filled with a weary resignation. "What could we do?" they’d asked, their voices barely above a whisper. "He was too powerful.”A burning rage flickered inside me. I wanted to expose some of them who worked hand in hand with him, and punish every single one of them who had turned a blind eye. But

    HERO POVWater splattered on the floor between Finna’s legs, and she stared at me in horror. “What am I going to do? Paxton isn't even here. He should be here for this._” she yelled in pain with a groan escaping her lips. “What the fuck, Finna. Paxton is definitely not my concern right now. I thought you were still a month out from your due date?” I would never had fucking agreed for her to come along if I thought she was going to give birth in the middle of all this.“I am,” she responded, her breathing coming out in gasp.I winced at her pain. "Easy, Finna. Breathe. This isn't the time to panic."“But it's happening! I can feel it!” she groaned, her voice trembling.She moaned, her voice trembling. "It hurts! It hurts so much!”I roared again, and everyone came running. Glinda took one look at Finna, paled, and disappeared. Sabrina and Hana coax a stressed Finna out of the kitchen into the living room while Zara raced around getting supplies she was told to get. "She's going to be

    ZARA POV"I honestly... I'm sorry, but..." I began, the words catching in my throat. I was about to explain why I couldn't continue with the breaking of the curse to get back my bonds, but the sound of Hero's voice stopped me."Zara," his voice boomed from behind me, deep with worry. I closed my eyes, the weight of his concern pressing down on me. He was terrified for our child, and rightly so. If I passed this curse or not having bonds on to them... I couldn't bear the thought. I had to try everything, no matter the cost to myself. Even if it meant facing certain doom, I had to try."Alright," I finally said to the witches, my voice trembling. "One last try.”“Hey, we are not doing it today. I think it's going to take a lot of energy, and we don't want you too weak. So I would like you to have the day to rest, and I still have some ingredients to prepare properly. And, frankly, I think we are going to need Glinda. I would advise that no one brings up anything that has to deal with Ba

    ZARA POV"I told you no, Sabrina," Glinda's voice echoed through the house, firm and steady.Sabrina sighed dramatically. "But why? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! It'll be huge, I promise. Bigger than anything we've ever done."Glinda scoffed, "Bigger? You mean more danger? More of my life on the line? I've already sacrificed enough to protect this mountain. I'm done playing hero for your thrill-seeking escapades.”"But Glinda," Sabrina whined, "you know how much I need this. It's a career-defining moment for me if you agree to go...""My own career is protecting this place," Glinda retorted, "not being your personal stunt double. And frankly, I'm starting to think you only call me when you need a chauffeur to help you in your little games. Forgetting how you drive off in a blaze of glory, leaving me to clean up the mess."Sabrina bristled. "That's not fair! You know I appreciate you. You're the best.”"The best at what?" Glinda asked, her voice rising. "The best at risking

    HERO POVWhen I walked back into the room, I could smell Zara all over the place but she was nowhere to be found. “Zara,” I called out, while keeping my voice very gentle. “Hey, you can come out… it's fine, our pup is fine.” I uttered as calmly as possible. Silence. Then, a rustle under the bed. Her wolf emerged slowly, tail tucked, head low. Fear still clung to her. I sat on the floor, extending a leg towards her. She hesitated, then crept closer, her fur bristling.I reached out, my touch gentle. "There you are," I murmured, stroking her head. "It's okay, good girl.”She relaxed slowly, leaning into my hand. I closed my eyes, inhaling the scent of her fur, the woodsmoke, the lingering fear.I further stroked her fur and her head softly until I could feel her relax. "Sabrina's upset with me," I confessed, my voice a low rumble. "She thinks I'm ungrateful. That I don't appreciate you rescuing us. But that's not true at all. Back in that cage… I realized how much I wanted to live. To

Frustration swelled inside me, hot and suffocating. "Please, I don't want to lose Zara," I spluttered, tears I didn't know I was holding back streamed down my cheeks.Sabrina looked at me, her face etched with worry. "Calm down, Hero. I know you're scared, but you need to stay calm. It's crucial." She gently placed a hand on my shoulder, her touch surprisingly soothing. "Thank goodness she was already shifted in her wolf when it happened. Her wolf form is incredibly resilient. Her magic is protecting her, shielding her core. Her heart is still beating, and she's still breathing, though shallowly. The problem is that the excess energy of the electricity within her is building up, threatening to burn her from the inside out.”I wiped furiously at my face, the tears blurring my vision. "Burn her? What do you mean 'burn her'?"Sabr

I want that stupid little brat, Cyrus, to see exactly what happens when someone betrays me. Make sure he understands the consequences when he watches it."He clicked the radio off, then on again immediately, his eyes carefully fixed on the small speaker as if he could force a response through sheer willpower."Kerry, can you hear me," he barked, the controlled anger starting to fray at the edges of each second.The only sound was the continued static, a mocking hiss in the tense air.He tried again, his voice rising. "Rendell? Wesley? Santos? Someone fucking answer me!" He slammed the radio down on the table, the plastic casing groaning under the impact. His breath came in ragged gasps, the frustration boiling over. He paced the room, like a caged animal, the silence from the other end of th

    HERO POV"Fuck… fuck," I muttered, annoyance bubbling up inside me. I winced as I tried to shift, the chains biting into my wrists. The sight of Jeremy, bleeding heavily on the cobblestones, was a sickening reminder of our predicament, Kristina was strung up to the wall in chains on both hands. Beside me, Walker's cage stood empty, a chilling giveaway to their brutality. They'd dragged him away, unconscious, leaving me alone with the buzzing electricity that crackled through the bars."Tristan?" I whispered, my voice hoarse. My bond with him, though weakened, still throbbed with life. He was alive. But Walker… I felt nothing. No connection, no reassurance. Panic clawed at the edges of my fear. Was he…"We have been betrayed," I breathed, the word tasting like ash in my mouth. It was the only explanation for how we all ended up. They'd been waiting for us by the river, their ambush perfectly timed. Even through the haze of the drug that had washed over me, I'd overheard fragments of th
