BENITAI stormed down the hallway, each step echoing like thunder against the walls. Fury and perplexity waged war within me, each emotion fueling the other. Reaching my room, I erupted in rage, hurling everything within reach. Picture frames shattered against the walls, books scattered like fallen leaves, and furniture crashed to the ground. "I'll kill her this time!" I screamed, my voice raw with anger. "No one will stop me!" Amidst my torrent of sarcasm, my wolf's growl reverberated in my mind, cutting through the noise. "You're right. No one can stop us. But whatever happened back there is the only thing that can."I froze, chest heaving in ragged gasps. The memory of being thrown back, the pain like shards of silver piercing through me, replayed in my mind. "Whatever is protecting that human is powerful," my wolf continued, tinged with both respect and fear. "It felt like colliding with a wall of silver shards."As anger ebbed, a cold realization set in. Clenching my fists,

RALPH Before I could address the pack, Zac's men stepped forward, their faces etched with anger and suspicion. One of them, Garret, pointed a finger at me accusingly. "This is your doing, Ralph," Garret spat, his voice dripping with venom. "You conspired with that vampire to take Zac away because you knew he was going to be crowned our next Alpha." I turned slowly to face him, my eyes narrowing. "Is that what Zac told you?" I asked, my voice cold and steady. Garret didn't respond, but his defiance was clear. I scanned the rest of the pack members, noticing some with their eyes downcast, while others exchanged uneasy glances. "Is that what Zac told you all?" I continued, raising my voice to reach every ear. "That he's your next Alpha?" A heavy silence hung in the air, broken only by the rustling leaves in the yard. Then Garret spoke again, louder and more confident. "No, we just don't want you as our Alpha," he declared, his eyes blazing with conviction. "You're not capable of

KEILAH The sharp pain in my stomach was relentless, and I struggled to stay conscious as Zac's cruel laughter echoed around me. My vision swam in and out of focus, and I felt a cold sweat break out across my forehead. The warmth running down my legs was a grim reminder of what was happening. . . the baby was no more. Zac's voice cut through the haze, filled with satisfaction. "Now, let’s see how your precious Ralph handles this." He turned back to Ralph, his gaze cold and calculating. Ralph, trapped in his wolf form and bound by Isabella's magic, let out a furious, agonized howl. The sight of my suffering seemed to fuel his rage, but he was helpless against the magical restraints. Isabella's eyes locked onto mine with a look of disdain, as if my pain was nothing more than a minor inconvenience to her. She stepped back, allowing Zac to revel in his moment of triumph. The pack members around us shifted uneasily, their loyalty torn between their alpha and their instincts to pr

KEILAH I woke up slowly, my eyelids heavy and resistant to the light filtering through the room. Everything felt distant and hazy, like I was trapped in a fog I couldn’t escape. As my eyes gradually adjusted, I recognized the familiar scent of Ralph surrounding me, a comforting blend of pine and something uniquely his. It was enough to ground me, to remind me that I was in his room, safe for the moment.But the relief was short-lived. My mind began to pull at the edges of memory, dragging me back to the terrifying moment I wished I could forget where Zac punched me in the stomach. The searing pain, the shock, and the feeling of helplessness flooded back. I bolted upright in the bed, my heart racing wildly. “My baby!” I screamed, the words tearing from my throat as if voicing them could change what had happened. Panic surged through me, a torrent of fear and grief that I couldn’t control.My heart raced, pounding in my chest like a drum. The room around me swirled, and for a moment, I

KEILAH Morning light filtered through the curtains, warming my skin as I slowly woke up, feeling much better than the night before. The weight that had pressed on my chest seemed to have lifted slightly, though it hadn't entirely disappeared. I reached out, expecting to find Ralph beside me, but my hand touched only cool sheets. He wasn’t there.I sighed, knowing he must already be up, preparing for the day. This day was crucial, not just for him but for the entire pack. I could feel the significance of it pulsing through the walls of the house.I pushed the covers off and headed straight to the bathroom. As I caught my reflection in the mirror, I grimaced. My eyes were puffy from crying, and the memory of Benita’s lifeless body falling off the upper floor crept back into my head, sending a rush of fever through my veins. My knees felt weak, and for a moment, the room spun.Gripping the edge of the sink, I steadied myself. I couldn’t fall apart—not today. Taking a deep breath, I turn
