IRIS'S POVFINDING THE POISONERI stopped pacing, turning to face Jerry. “You didn’t hear her, Jerry. She practically admitted it on the phone. She was furious that the maid poisoned Gavin’s mother instead of me. She was talking about how it should’ve been me lying in that hospital bed.”Jerry frowned, his face darkening. “Are you sure that’s what you heard?”“I’m positive,” I snapped. “She said it outright. And now she’s trying to cover it up.”Jerry ran a hand through his hair, clearly troubled by my words. “If that’s true, then we’ll get to the bottom of it. But Iris, we need proof. We can’t just accuse her without evidence.”I let out a frustrated sigh, running a hand through my hair. “I know. But she’s slippery. She’s not going to leave evidence lying around.”Jerry nodded, his face thoughtful. “Then we’ll have to watch her closely. See if she slips up again.”The thought of playing a waiting game with Ciara made my blood boil. But what choice did I have? Without concrete proof,

GAVIN'S POVPAST WITCHESThe forest was silent around us as we buried my father, the soft rustle of leaves the only sound breaking the suffocating quiet. I stood still as the others covered his body with soil, my gaze fixed on the ground, feeling numb.We couldn’t take his body back to the pack; it was simply too dangerous. No one else knew he’d gone to Thalia, and if word spread, I’d have no way to explain why he was out here in the first place. But as they covered him in the forest earth, I could feel anger simmering beneath my skin, crawling up my spine.This wasn’t what he would have wanted, and it sure as hell wasn’t what I wanted. But there was no other option.When the last of the dirt was laid, I clenched my fists, took one last look at the grave, and then turned to the others. “We need to move. Now,” I said, my voice low and tight.The pack members looked weary, but they didn’t argue at first. We began our trek back through the forest, each step heavier than the last. I could

Gavin’s POVTHE RETURNThe journey back to the pack felt like a storm was building within me. My mind reeled, still haunted by the confrontation with the witch and the weight of burying my father in the middle of nowhere.This wasn't the farewell I would have wanted for him. I longed to give him a proper goodbye, to honor him as family should, but we didn’t have that luxury.And I had a nagging feeling that Iris and the kids were on the other side of this forest, waiting for me—or worse, needing me.The wind rustled through the trees, and I picked up my pace, desperate to close the distance between me and the pack. My gut twisted, screaming that I was already too late.Finally, the familiar outline of the pack’s territory emerged from the dense trees, the sprawling grounds spread out in front of me like an old sanctuary.The second I stepped foot onto the grounds, I knew something was off. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but it was as though the air held a residue of tension, and ever

CIARA'S POVMOUTH LEAKED SECRETSI stood outside Gavin’s mother’s hospital room, clutching the basket of flowers I’d brought, my heart pounding. The hallway was empty, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that someone would appear any second.Gavin was supposed to be off on a mission, far from here, and I’d thought it was safe enough to make another visit. But seeing Jerry’s car outside the hospital made my stomach twist with anxiety. I didn’t have much time.Taking a shaky breath, I slipped into the room and let the door close quietly behind me. Gavin’s mother lay still in her bed, her face pale against the stark white of the hospital sheets, her breaths faint and shallow.My pulse raced as I looked at her, guilt clawing at me from the inside. None of this was supposed to happen. This wasn’t how it was supposed to be.I set the flowers on the small table by her bed and stepped closer, the words slipping from my mouth in a trembling whisper. “I’m… I’m sorry.” My gaze drifted down, unable

GAVIN'S POVLIGHTHEARTED MIGHT BE WRONGI sat beside my mother, watching her steady but shallow breaths as the monitor softly beeped in the background. The guilt settled heavy in my chest. She didn’t deserve this; she was strong, selfless, always there for me.I clenched my fists, swallowing the surge of anger that threatened to choke me. Ciara had put her here, lying through her teeth, all for some twisted obsession with getting rid of Iris. It was unthinkable.My phone buzzed, pulling me out of my thoughts. I glanced at the screen—it was Jerry. I swiped to answer. “Yeah?”“We’ve got her,” he said without any preamble. His voice was steady, but I could hear the strain, the disgust he was holding back. “Caught her trying to make a run for it. We’re on our way to the station now.”Relief, anger, and frustration hit me all at once. Finally, she’d be held accountable. I let out a slow breath. “Good. I’ll be there soon.”Just then, I heard the door open, and I looked up to see Iris steppi
