Anita’s PovThe ballroom spun around me as I tried to push myself up off the floor. My hands slipped against the cold marble, still slick with the red wine that now stained my gown. My ankle throbbed with pain, but I couldn’t focus on that. The embarrassment and anger coursing through me were too overwhelming. I could hear murmurs in the crowd, whispers of pity and curiosity. My hair had fallen over my face, shielding me from their stares, but I could feel the weight of every gaze.I clenched my jaw, refusing to look up. Now wasn’t the time to let anyone see the shame that burned in my chest. Not Amara. Not the pack members. No one.With a trembling hand, I reached out to steady myself on the floor, attempting to stand again. My ankle gave way beneath me, and I collapsed back down with a sharp gasp of pain. The twisted ankle was worse than I had realized.“Anita!” I heard Alpha Hades’ voice, filled with concern and fury. His strong arms wrapped around me before I could fall further, pu

Anita’s PovThe moment Alpha Hades set me down, I sighed with relief. Despite the throbbing pain in my ankle, the tension between us was becoming more unbearable than the physical discomfort. His touch had been too gentle and it stirred something inside me I wasn’t ready to confront. I stepped back instinctively, putting distance between us, my heart racing faster than I wanted to admit.Alpha Hades, noticing the movement, frowned. His piercing gaze locked onto mine, his voice low and filled with curiosity. "Are you that afraid of me, Anita?"I blinked, taken aback by the question. "No," I said quickly, shaking my head. "I’m not afraid of you.""Then why do you keep pulling away?" he asked, his eyes searching mine for answers. "If you aren’t afraid, why do you step back every time I try to help? You chose to be my assistant, didn’t you?"His words hit close to home, but I steeled myself. The truth was that it wasn’t fear of him that kept me at a distance, but something else. Something

Amara’s PovI lingered in the shadows of the hallway, every muscle tense as I overheard Hades and Beta Damian talking just a few feet away. Their voices were low, but I had sharp ears. What caught my attention wasn’t their discussion about the Moonshade Root or how Hades had gone out of his way to help her.It was her name.“Anita…”The sound of that name froze me in place, sending a jolt of recognition through my entire body. Anita? It couldn’t be. She was supposed to be dead, wasn’t she? I had believed she was long gone, discarded like the insignificant rogue she had become. Yet, the way Hades and Damian spoke about her—the way Hades cared for her—it was impossible to ignore the sinking feeling growing in my chest.I needed answers. Now.Without wasting another second, I slipped away from my hiding place and stormed down the hallway, my mind racing with the implications of what I had just heard. My heart pounded in my chest as I reached for my phone, my fingers trembling with barely

Anita’s PovI winced as Amara twisted my arm further behind my back. The pressure shot through my shoulder, and with my ankle still throbbing from earlier, the pain became unbearable. I tried to pull away, but the sharp jolt in my ankle caused me to stumble, nearly falling to the floor."Let go of me!" I shouted, my voice filled with both anger and desperation. My heart was pounding, the adrenaline rushing through my veins as I struggled to break free from her grasp.Amara’s grip only tightened, her nails digging into the skin of my wrist as she sneered. "You think you can just come back into this pack and everything will be fine? You’re delusional, Anita. You don’t belong here."I gritted my teeth, trying to keep my balance as I twisted my wrist, hoping to loosen her hold. But Amara wasn’t letting go. Instead, she dug her nails deeper, the sharp sting sending a wave of pain shooting up my arm."You won't try nonsense with me Amara. You better leave me alone or I will... " Before I co

Anita’s PovI didn’t want to answer. I didn’t want to open that part of my life. But now, I was caught in a web of my own making. The truth, the one I had buried so deeply, was suddenly laid bare.Before I could even process my own emotions, Alpha Hades spoke again, his voice lower this time, almost as if he hadn’t meant to say it out loud. “If I were your husband, I wouldn’t be pleased with the situation.”I blinked, stunned by his words. It was a rare glimpse into something vulnerable, something he hadn’t meant to share. For a moment, the cold, detached Alpha I had known seemed to disappear, replaced by someone who cared more than he let on."You’d—" I started, but my voice caught in my throat, and I wasn’t sure what I was trying to say. His words had thrown me off balance, and I didn’t know how to respond. Why would he say that? Why did it matter to him?Alpha Hades must have realized what he had said because his expression changed. He quickly looked away, his jaw tightening as if
