Zara's pov

The days following the fire were marked by an uneasy calm. The charred remains of the eastern wing of the packhouse were a reminder of the danger lurking within our borders. Adrian had doubled patrols, and every member was on edge. Yet, despite the tension, life carried on. The pack had a way of enduring, no matter the storm.

I tried to focus on my duties in the infirmary, helping Lily tend to the injured and maintaining the herb stores. But the lingering suspicion that someone among us had betrayed the pack weighed heavily on my mind. Every glance, every stray word, seemed like a potential clue.

It was during one of these quiet afternoons in the infirmary that Elizabeth appeared. She swept into the room like a storm, her sharp gaze immediately landing on me.

โ€œZara,โ€ she said, her tone dripping with false civility, โ€œmay I have a word?โ€

Lily stiffened beside me but said nothing. I nodded, wiping my hands on a cloth. โ€œOf course.โ€

Elizabeth gestured for me to follow her

I have an issue...How is her wolf still not surfacing...even a rejection would have it weak for a week or two tops...but plainly not there really...The pup she carrying is her wolves to who is from her shattered bond of her mate...if anything her wolf should also be there protecting her pup...smh

    Zara's pov The days since Elizabethโ€™s escape had been tense. Patrols were relentless, and Adrian was on edge. The packhouse, once a lively haven, felt like a fortress under siege. I tried to go about my routine, focusing on small tasks and my growing bell. That morning, as the pack gathered in the main hall for Adrianโ€™s daily briefing, an unfamiliar scent wafted through the air. It was faint at first, but it grew stronger, accompanied by gasps from the crowd. โ€œSheโ€™s back,โ€ someone whispered. I turned to see Elizabeth standing in the doorway, her head held high and her eyes scanning the room like she owned it. She was in human form, her long hair neatly braided and her clothes immaculate, as if sheโ€™d strolled back from a vacation rather than fleeing for her life. Adrian stepped forward, his expression unreadable, though the tension in his jaw betrayed his simmering anger. โ€œYouโ€™ve got some nerve showing your face here,โ€ he said coldly. Elizabeth inclined her head, her voice smoo

    Zara's pov After the chaos of the trial and Elizabethโ€™s shocking accusation, life in the pack felt like walking on thin ice. Trust was a fragile thing, easily broken and hard to rebuild. I tried to focus on my routinesโ€”helping in the infirmary, preparing for the baby, and supporting Adrian in his role as Alphaโ€”but the weight of suspicion lingered over me like a dark cloud.Elizabeth hadnโ€™t been punished outright; Adrian had decided to keep her under close observation instead. It was his way of preventing her from causing further division within the pack. But her presence in the packhouse was unnerving. I often caught her watching me with that calm, calculating expression that made my skin crawl.One evening, as I helped Adrian organize patrol schedules in his office, a knock at the door interrupted us.โ€œCome in,โ€ Adrian called, his tone clipped.It was one of the packโ€™s scouts, a young wolf named Caleb. He stepped in, his face pale and his hands trembling.โ€œAlpha,โ€ he began, his voic

    Zara's pov The hours crawled by as I waited for Adrianโ€™s return. Each minute felt like an eternity, and the knot in my stomach tightened with every passing second. I paced the room, glancing at the door and then back to the window, where I could see flickering torchlights in the distance. Whatever had happened was serious, and I couldnโ€™t shake the feeling that this was just the beginning. When Adrian finally returned, his face was grim, his clothes disheveled, and his hands stained with bloodโ€”not his own, I hoped. โ€œWhat happened?โ€ I demanded, rushing to him. He sighed, dropping into the nearest chair. โ€œIt was another attack. This time closer to the packhouse.โ€ โ€œWas anyone hurt?โ€ He nodded, his jaw tightening. โ€œTwo patrol members. They survived, but barely. Whoever did this is sending a message.โ€ I sat down across from him, my hands trembling. โ€œAdrian, we canโ€™t keep living like this. The pack is on edge, and I... I donโ€™t feel safe.โ€ Adrian reached across the table, takin

    Zara's pov The days blurred together as I tried to keep my head above water in Adrianโ€™s pack. The constant tension, the growing uncertaintyโ€”it all felt suffocating. But amid the chaos, something about Adrianโ€™s steady presence gave me a semblance of peace. Even when things seemed impossible, his unwavering support made me believe that maybe, just maybe, I could find a way to survive here. But that belief was beginning to erode. The attacks continued, growing bolder, more frequent. Each time, it felt like we were one step behind, struggling to maintain control of the situation. Adrianโ€™s mind was consumed with finding the traitor, but with every piece of evidence, we seemed to go in circles. It was frustrating, and every new lead only added to the weight of the uncertainty pressing down on us. And then, there was Elizabeth. She remained a constant presence, her calm exterior a sharp contrast to the growing unrest around us. I had never trusted her fullyโ€”there was something abou

    The first pangs of labor hit just before dawn, sharp and insistent like a distant thunderstorm rumbling closer. I had been restless all night, the weight of my belly making every position uncomfortable. But this... this was different. โ€œAdrian,โ€ I gasped, clutching the edge of the bed. He was by my side in an instant, his eyes wide with concern. โ€œItโ€™s time?โ€ I nodded, unable to speak as another wave of pain wracked my body. Adrian helped me to my feet, his arm steadying me as he called for the packโ€™s healer. โ€œYouโ€™ll be okay,โ€ he said, his voice calm but laced with tension. โ€œIโ€™m right here, Zara.โ€ I wanted to believe him, but deep down, a sense of unease gnawed at me. Something felt... wrong. The packhouse was alive with activity, warriors stationed at every entrance as Adrian prepared for my labor. He was taking no chances, especially after the recent revelations about spies in the pack. But even with the extra security, I couldnโ€™t shake the feeling that danger was clos

    Rykerโ€™s POV The night was calm, almost unnervingly so, as I sat in my office. The quiet hum of the fireplace and the faint ticking of the grandfather clock were the only sounds filling the room. But the calm outside did nothing to soothe the storm brewing within me. I've not seen Zara for months and it was driving me insane. She was stubborn, always determined to prove she didnโ€™t need anyone, least of all me. I respected her strength, but damn it, she was carrying our child. That fact alone kept me restless, always waiting for the next report from the scouts Iโ€™d stationed in Adrianโ€™s pack. I didnโ€™t trust Adrian to protect her the way I would, not after everything. The door slammed open, breaking my train of thought. Victor stormed in, his face pale but his expression hard. โ€œRyker,โ€ he said, his voice tight with urgency. โ€œWeโ€™ve got a problem.โ€ I stood immediately, the hairs on the back of my neck prickling. โ€œWhat is it? Zara?โ€ Victor nodded grimly, handing me a crumpled pie

    Zara'pov The air inside the room was suffocating, heavy with an unspoken dread. The cries outside werenโ€™t humanโ€”they were the growls of enraged wolves, a chorus of chaos that clawed at my nerves. My arms ached from holding Thorold so tightly, but I refused to loosen my grip. His tiny chest rose and fell with the steady rhythm of sleep, his innocence presence melts my heart. This wasnโ€™t how I imagined motherhood. No one prepared me for nights like these, where I sat trembling with my child in my arms, my heart splitting between overwhelming love and bone-deep fear. They were out there for himโ€”my son, my perfect boy, who had somehow become the center of a storm I didnโ€™t understand. A loud crash from outside made me jump. The door flew open, and Adrian stormed in. His expression was grim, his usually composed face shadowed with urgency. โ€œWhatโ€™s going on, Adrian?โ€ I asked, my voice breaking. His eyes darted to Thorold, who stirred but remained asleep, and then to me. "Stay here

    Zara's pov The days that followed were a blur of pain and emptiness. My heart shattered into pieces too jagged to mend. Thorold was gone, and I was a mother without her child. The hours melted into one another, yet the agony stayed sharp, relentless, and consuming. I barely moved from the corner of the room where I had fallen the night he was taken. Adrian had found me there, clutching nothing but air, my cries so raw they scared even him. He had asked me who had come and what had happened, but I couldnโ€™t answer. "A man," I had whispered, the words tasting bitter on my tongue. "A man came for him." Adrianโ€™s sharp gaze pinned me, his Alpha instincts pushing him to demand the truth, but I held my silence. How could I tell him the full truth? How could I explain the unearthly presence of Arcturus, his power, and the cold finality of his words? If I told Adrian, he would rally the pack to chase after Thorold, and the consequencesโ€ฆ the consequences could destroy us all. So I kept it t

    โ€œLiam, itโ€™s time for you to transfer to the Blood Moon Pack school,โ€ my father declared, his voice steady. I stared at him, a storm of emotions brewing inside me. โ€œBut Dad, why? I donโ€™t see why I have to move schools!โ€ Confusion and anger tangled within me like vines, tightening with every word he spoke. My father, Alexander, known for his no-nonsense demeanor, explained, โ€œItโ€™s crucial. You need to learn from other packs. To become a great leader, you must navigate the complex world of werewolf politics.โ€ He had a point, but even so, his words felt like a punch to my gut. There was no room for negotiation; it was a necessity. My father wanted me to sharpen my skills, and this new school seemed the perfect place for that growth. โ€œDonโ€™t worry, Liam. You wonโ€™t have to reveal your identity. Iโ€™ve arranged everything for you,โ€ he continued, an edge of reassurance in his voice. But his words did little to ease my reluctance. โ€œAnd Isabella, the daughter of Alpha Lucas from the Moon Sto

    I stood in the doorway, watching my mother, Victoria, confront Ethan. Her words were sharp and filled with malice, stirring a familiar dread in my stomach. โ€œThereโ€™s a rumour youโ€™ve found your mate and plan to leave the packhouse. Is that true, Ethan?โ€ she demanded rudely. โ€œYes, Mom. I found my mate last night and was going to tell you and Dad later,โ€ Ethan replied politely. โ€œHow many times do I have to remind you that I am not your mother?โ€ she said harshly. โ€œIโ€™m sorry, ma'am,โ€ Ethan replied, looking down. I could see he was affected by our motherโ€™s cruel treatment. His once bright eyes were now dull and lifeless. I felt a crushing sense of worthlessness too. Anger surged within me towards our mother. How could she be so cruel? Didnโ€™t she realize she was hurting her own family? It pained me deeply that she refused to accept my brother. My mother was always cold and calculating, focused solely on power and control. She loves me, but mainly because I am her son and the future al

    My new pack was quiet, far quieter than I had expected. Nestled deep in the northern mountains, it was isolated from the chaos of the outside world. After everything that had happenedโ€”the attacks, the betrayal, and the overwhelming presence of Ryker and Adrianโ€”I had made the decision to leave. To truly be free of everyone and everything that had defined my life up until now. All thanks to Adrian who introduced me to their alpha and he willingly welcomed me without questioning me. I wasnโ€™t running anymore, I just want to be free. This faraway pack, the Black Ridge Wolves, had no ties to my past, no knowledge of who I was or what I had endured. They didnโ€™t care that I was the โ€œchosen oneโ€ or that I was hunted by enemies I couldnโ€™t fully understand. They only cared that I was willing to work. That was all I wanted. To work. To train. To become stronger than I had ever been. The training grounds here were nothing like what I was used to. There were no neat rows of equipment
