ELISE'S POVI pleaded with the guards as they dragged me into prison. Previously, I was kept in a cell but now, they were taking me to where hardened criminals were kept. The prisoners’ voices reached me first when we got there. “Look what we’ve got here, boys!” one shouted, holding his bars while looking at me “A pretty little thing, all dressed up for us!”Laughter filled the cells. The sound of them laughing at me made my skin crawl. I kept my head down, refusing to meet their eyes, knowing that any sign of weakness would only make them taunt me even more. But it didn’t matter. They could smell my fear already. “Hey, sweetheart, why don’t you come over here? I’ll show you a good time!” another prisoner called out. I forced myself to keep walking with the guard, even as the insults and crude remarks rained down on me from all sides. The guard beside me gripped my arm tighter, as if he enjoyed seeing me squirm.I bit down on my lip, trying to block out their voices, but it was im

FERRIS' POVThat evening, I stepped out to the balcony to think. I should be happy now that Elise was free but it wasn't that easy. The whole ordeal of rescuing her was over, but it wasn't enough. Elise was safe, at least for now, but there were other matters that needed my attention—matters that required my total focus when I left here and returned to my pack.I gripped the railing, feeling the rough texture beneath my palms as I stared out into space. Bringing Elise to my territory, an outsider with no ties to my pack, was a complication I hadn’t fully planned for. I had no reason to keep her close, no legitimate excuse to keep her under my protection. The thought disturbed me. Before, I believed that once Elise was with me, the trouble would be over. But now that I thought of it, there were other things I needed to protect her from back in my territory. If Elise was truly to be safe, she needed more than just to be with me. She needed the strength of a bond, something to connect

ELISE'S POVAs Jason led me away from the cell, I knew this had to be Ferris' doing. Nobody else cared about me this much apart from him and he was the only one who had the power to overrule Jackson. When we got outside the palace grounds, it took a while for my eyes to adjust to the brightness. Jason led me to a convoy of cars waiting for me. Jason faced me "You'll be taken to Alpha Ferris' residence" A small smile tugged at the corner of my lips. It was true. It really was him... He saved me again. "Thank you" I whispered. Jason sighed "You were a good Luna, Elise. Nobody can deny that. You were kind to me and other people. I'm sorry you had to go through all this. I hope you find happiness. Take care of yourself" His words brought a stray tear to my eye. I swallowed the lump that had formed in my throat "Thanks Jason. I wish you the best as well" He bowed his head "Till we meet again, Luna Elise" He opened the door to one of the cars for me. I smiled at him as I got in. As

JACKSON'S POVJason and I trained in the training arena outside. I needed a distraction, something to push away the thoughts that had disturbed me all day. I threw a punch at Jason, harder than necessary, sending him stumbling back. His eyes widened in surprise, but he quickly regained his footing."Focus, Jackson," he said, blocking my next strike. "Your head's somewhere else."I gritted my teeth and forced myself to concentrate, pushing thoughts of Elise to the back of my mind. It was no use. Even when I was fighting, the image of her kept slipping through. Her eyes, the way they’d look at me when she thought I wasn’t watching; her laugh, the way she smiled at me then and the way she looked at him—Ferris.“Damn it,” I muttered under my breath, swinging wildly at Jason again in anger. He dodged easily. His movements were calculated and firm while mine were erratic and clumsy. "Enough," Jason said, stepping back "With all due respect, I think we're done for today."I nodded, breath

ELISE'S POVI watched the scene in front of me with pain in my heart. Gina was crumpled on the floor. Her body was limp and her skin was pale as snow. Jackson was right beside her, wrapping his arms around her and attending to her in a way he had never done with me. The revelation hit me like a punch. Gina is pregnantI couldn't breathe. I couldn't think. The air seemed to run out, and I had to restrain myself from passing out. Jackson screamed as he called for help. His tone was so different from the one he used with me in the past.Years of marriage flashed before my eyes—years of longing, of heartbreak, of trying and failing to give Jackson the one thing he wanted more than anything. A child. A piece of him, of us. Something to bind us together forever, something that could have saved what was left of our love. But it never happened. No matter how much I prayed, no matter how much I hoped, I was never able to conceive. Maybe if I had a child, things would have been different. An
