Chapter 21: The Silence Between Us

Autumn POVI stayed up all night, watching the moon create long shadows in my room. The choice in front of me felt heavy, bearing down on my chest as if it were a tangible object. Whether to be identified or not. To commit myself to this group and to this location. Addressed to Kavan.His expression lingered in my thoughts, icy and aloof. His touch, scent, and intense gaze all mixed together in my mind, creating a confusing and alluring sensation. How can I deal with this feeling of being drawn to someone? This attraction to a man who regarded me as insignificant?As the initial rays of morning began to filter through my window, I abandoned all hope of sleeping. My thoughts moved swiftly in never-ending loops, my mind in a frenzy. I needed something to divert my attention.When I walked in, the kitchen was silent and motionless. Cookware dangled from shelves, shining in the morning sunlight. I ran my fingers across the sleek surface, inhaling the traces of yesterday's cooking.The act

Chapter 22: Mark

Autumn POVThe idea brought a genuine smile to my face. I nodded eagerly, already reaching for containers.While we prepared the food, Mrs. Potts continued to talk constantly, replacing the quietness caused by Kavan's dramatic departure."Do not fret about him," she said while closing a pancake container. Under his icy exterior lies a kind heart. It just requires some time to get comfortable with others.I arched my eyebrow, doubtful. Mrs. Potts laughed quietly."I am aware. I am aware. It is difficult to comprehend at this moment. I have been acquainted with that boy since he was a baby. Being himself, he has had to be strong. Just because he can't learn to be kind as well.I thought about what she said as we completed the packing. Is it possible that there is warmth hidden beneath Kavan's icy demeanor? Was Mrs. Potts perceiving what she desired to see in the young boy she had assisted in bringing up?One hour later, I arrived at the entrance of a tiny cabin located on the outskirts

Chapter 23: Confused

Autumn POVI quickly left Kavan's office, my heart beating rapidly in my chest. His touch stayed on my skin, a phantom feeling I couldn't get rid of no matter how quickly I fled. My inner wolf whined, feeling mixed up and wanting something that I couldn't—wouldn't—identify. The fresh pack connection pulsed in my thoughts, a continual memory of the recent event.I kept going until I got to my room, slamming the door shut and leaning on it. I was breathing rapidly and unevenly, with short gasps. I had to relax and ponder. However, each time I shut my eyes, Kavan's face appeared in my mind, and I could feel the warmth of his body against me.I vigorously shook my head, attempting to dispel the thoughts. This was not included in the plan. It was not possible for me to be distracted at this moment.However, when I turned and began to move away from the door, I discovered that I was not the only one present.Mathias was standing by the window, his face brightening up when he caught sight of

Chapter 24: Moonlit Missteps

Autumn POVThe dining room gleamed. Crystal chandeliers threw sparkles across polished silverware. I sat across from Mathias, the table between us a vast expanse of white linen. The room was too large, too grand. It made me feel small and insignificant.Mathias lifted the decanter; his movements were smooth and practiced. "More wine, my dear?"I shook my head. The rich food sat heavy in my stomach. I didn't need alcohol to muddy my thoughts. Not when every moment here felt like walking on a knife's edge."You barely touched your food," Mathias said, his brow furrowing. "Don't you like it?"I nodded, forcing a smile. The roast was tender, and the vegetables were crisp. But each bite tasted like ash. How could I enjoy a meal when every second was a lie?Mathias poured himself another glass. The ruby liquid sloshed against the crystal. His cheeks were flushed and his eyes bright. Too bright. "You're too kind," he said. He reached across the table, his fingers brushing mine. I fought the

Chapter 25: Confrontation

Autumn POVKavan's eyes narrowed. In two strides, he crossed the room. I scrambled to my feet, but he was faster. His arm shot out, caging me against the wall. The heat of him seeped into me, his scent wrapping around me like a physical thing."Interesting," he said. His voice was soft and dangerous. Like the whisper of a blade being drawn. "It seems you can speak after all."I swallowed hard. My mind raced, searching for an explanation. Any explanation. "You must have heard my voice in your mind," I said weakly. "The mate bond--""Don't lie to me." Kavan's eyes flashed gold, a wolf rising to the surface. "We both know that's not how it works."I lifted my chin, anger overriding fear. "Fine. I can talk. What of it?""What of it?" Kavan's laugh was without humor. It scraped against my nerves like sandpaper. "You've been playing us all for fools. Why? To seduce my father?""Seduce him?" I sputtered. The accusation was so absurd that I almost laughed. "I would never--""No?" Kavan leaned

Chapter 26: The Weight of Silence

Autumn POVThe soft colors of gold and amber filled the room as the morning light slowly seeped through the thick curtains. I remained motionless with my eyes shut, holding onto the final traces of slumber. I briefly imagined myself back in my own bed, at home. The past few weeks have been nothing but a strange, unsettling dream.But dreams fade, and reality always returns.A gentle knock at the door shattered the illusion. "Miss Autumn? Are you awake?"Mrs. Potts's voice is kind but insistent. I sighed, pushing myself up. Another day in this gilded cage. Another day of pretending."Come in," I sent through the mind link, the words echoing in my head.Mrs. Potts bustled in, arms laden with fabric. Her face brightened when she saw me. "Good morning, dear. Did you sleep well?"I agreed by nodding, unsure if I could deceive even through the connection. Sleep was hard to come by, as dreams of endless corridors and constant searching plagued the night."We have a lot on our agenda for toda

Chapter 27: Phone

Autumn POVBy noon, I was very tired. The uncomfortable shoes caused pain in my feet, while the constant strain of communicating through the mind link made my head throb. I felt a wave of relief when Mrs. Potts recommended we stop for lunch.We moved to a compact living area, where a simple meal had been prepared. Upon the closing of the door behind us, I immediately sat down in a chair with my shoulders drooping."You're doing great, my dear," Mrs. Potts complimented while pouring tea. "Don't allow them to affect you." "They will eventually change their minds."I nodded, not believing her for a second. How could they come around when I couldn't even speak to them? When was every interaction filtered through someone else?As I picked at my food, a thought occurred to me. A dangerous thought, but one that wouldn't let go.I caught Mrs. Potts's eye, then sent a message through the mind link. "I need a favor."Mrs. Potts raised an eyebrow. "Of course, dear. What can I do for you?"I hesi

Chapter 28: Doubt

Kavan POVI left the pack house before the sun rose. The cool air bore the fragrance of pine trees and fresh morning moisture. I took a deep breath, allowing the chill to refresh my mind. The world remained hushed, holding onto the final remnants of darkness.Marcus and Darius stood at the outskirts of the forest, anticipating my arrival. Decent males. Devoted. No questions were asked when I invited them for a dawn jog. Sometimes, they realized an Alpha must break free from the burden of duty, even if just briefly."Alpha, good morning," Marcus said with a respectful nod. Out of habit, he scanned the treeline with alert eyes.Darius simply let out a grunt. He didn't speak much, especially in the early morning hours. His enormous body was tight, prepared for combat.I took off my shirt, sensing the chill of the cold air against my skin. The cold provided a relief from the worries that had consumed me throughout the night. " I said, 'Let's go,' without waiting for a reply."We moved tog

Chapter 29: The Kiss

Kavan POVI walked into the dining room; the wooden chair creaked slightly as I fell into it, and my gaze flittered through the toom acknowledging my father before settling on her.Autumn, the girl who claimed to be mute, but I swear she could talk. I had heard her speak that morning, and no one could tell me any different. Why she would continue with the act even when I knew confounded me; I needed to find out why.The room was well lit; the warm glow from the light source cast a golden hue over the long mahogany table.My father, Mathias, and the former Alpha, now elder of our park, sat at the head, his presence commanding as always. Across from him, Autumn was seated, her hands folded neatly in her lap, her eyes darting nervously around the room as she tried to evade my gaze.I smirked as I watched her squirm in her chair.“I am very glad, Kavan, you could take time out of your very busy schedule to grace us with your presence.” My father said, smiling at me, before turning to face

Chapter 30: Confrontation 

Autumn POV I held my breath, my body tingling as my senses heightened, causing goose bumps to riddle my skin and the pounding of my chest in rhythm with the incoming steps.I try to struggle out of Kavan’s hold, but his hands do not bulge as they press against the wall beside my head, trapping me between his body and the cold stone. During the punishing kiss, Kavan had guided me away from the banister and into a corner hidden from view of the stairs; his broad shoulders covered my view of the outside world, but still my heart pounded in my chest, my breath quick and shallow. I try once more to escape his hold, terrified of the possible repercussions of our actions.Kavan stood still unmoving as he waited. In panic, I pleaded, “Let me go; please, I have to leave.” His breath was warm against my ear, and I could feel the tension radiating off him as he stared at me. “It's too late to leave; be patient.” My mind raced, and panic surged through me as I looked at his calm gaze. Could
