51 Desperation and Despair

RandyJason flinched at the sound of my fist slamming against the desk, his already bruised face paling further.The pathetic sight of him did nothing to quell the storm raging inside me. My wolf howled within, clawing at the edges of my restraint, demanding release.Every passing second without Adasha chipped away at my sanity, leaving raw, jagged edges behind.“Where is my wife, Jason?” I bellowed, the force of my voice shaking the air between us. My rage boiled over, uncontrollable, as my wolf threatened to take over completely.The fear in his eyes should have been satisfying, but it wasn’t. Not without answers.“I-I swear, Alpha! I don’t know!” he stammered, his voice hoarse and trembling. His eyes darted to the guards standing by the door, as if they might somehow intervene, but none of them moved. They wouldn’t dare.I leaned forward, my hands gripping the edge of the desk so tightly that the wood groaned in protest.“You expect me to believe that? After all this? After what ha

52 The Scales Falling Off

RandyJason hung there, suspended with nothing but his arms to bear the cruel weight of his body. His breaths came in short, ragged gasps, and I watched as tears carved streaks through the dirt on his face.The pain in his eyes was unmistakable, but Jake and I didn’t flinch. Whatever agony he was enduring now was nothing compared to the storm raging inside me.Nothing could match the betrayal, the rage, the ache that tore through my chest like a serrated blade.“Start talking,” I said, my voice cold and unwavering. “End this now, or I promise you—I won’t relent.”Jason’s lips trembled, his voice cracking under the strain. “Please…” It was barely more than a whimper, a pathetic plea that only hardened my resolve.I turned to Jacob and gave him a curt nod. “Do it.”Jacob stepped forward, methodical and unyielding. He didn’t hesitate. He didn’t falter. He’d been by my side long enough to know this wasn’t a moment for mercy. Meanwhile, I stood back, my hands clenched into fists.I couldn’

53 Realisation

RandyThe look on Adasha’s face that night, and again in the morning before I left, played over and over in my mind like a haunting melody.Her tear-streaked cheeks, the fear in her eyes—eyes that once looked at me with tenderness—now burned into my memory. I couldn’t stop the tears that began streaming down my own face.I had hurt her. Wrongly. Cruelly. Unforgivably.I was a monster.Jealousy and fear had consumed me, twisting my thoughts and blinding me to reason. I hadn’t listened to her.I hadn’t believed her. Instead, I let my insecurities fester until they turned into something dark and vile. And because of that, I hurt her.I broke her trust. I stormed out of the room, my breaths ragged, my chest tightening with each step.My heart pounded as guilt and shame washed over me like waves, drowning me in their weight. Pain and anguish tore through me in equal measure. What had I done?The memories of that night clawed at me, refusing to let go. I had beaten her. I had taken her in t

54 A Little Hope

RandyI sobbed, my tears pooling on the cold floor beneath me, my prayers rising into the void. I didn’t know if anyone was listening, but I didn’t care.My soul felt raw, laid bare for the unknown, for anyone kind enough to hear my desperation.In that moment, I was nothing but a broken man, undone by my own choices. There was no one to blame but myself.Every wound I had inflicted on her had carved a deeper one into me, and now I bore the weight of it all.I had hurt her. I had driven her away. And now, I could only hope—no, beg—for the chance to make it right."Alpha, what should I do about Jason?" Jacob’s voice pierced through the mind link, steady but tinged with caution.It broke through the haze of my spiraling thoughts as I struggled to compose myself. My hands trembled as I wiped my face, willing the chaos in my chest to quiet, even if just for a moment.“He has lied against his Luna and, in doing so, committed treason,” I said, my voice carrying the weight of my decision.“L

55 A Plan

RandyFor a moment, I stared at the delicate piece of jewelry in my hand, its significance crashing over me like a tidal wave. It was hers.There was no doubt. My heart surged with a mixture of relief and determination. She had been there. She was still out there.This wasn’t just a clue—it was hope.“She rested,” I murmured, the words barely audible as I pieced together the implications. It meant she was moving, but she wasn’t running without pause. It gave me a direction. A chance.I looked up at Thompson, my voice steady but charged with urgency.“This is something. I’ll reach out to Alpha Malachi and see if any of his southern packs have noticed a new face. If she’s passed through, someone must have seen her.”I paused, the reality of my next move settling over me. “I can’t step into another Regional Alpha’s territory without his permission. Malachi’s cooperation will be critical.”“I should reach out to Malachi,” I said, breaking the silence, my mind already spinning with the logi

56 Inner Thoughts

AdashaI could see it in Kai’s eyes—the ripple of unease, the tension coiled in his body. What I had told him weighed heavily, more than I had anticipated.He barely made it through breakfast. His fingers drummed against the table, his legs shifted restlessly, and he avoided my gaze like it might set fire to the air between us.I knew him well enough to understand he was itching to act, to confront the storm I’d laid bare before him.In another life, the old me would have swallowed the discomfort, buried the problem deep within, and plastered a smile on my face to keep the fragile peace intact.I’d learned to live like that—tiptoeing around conflicts to avoid cracks in the delicate family façade. But not this time.Not with what was at stake. Silence now would be a coward’s refuge, and I had no space left for that kind of foolishness.Kai’s aunt, Ingrid, was a force I could no longer ignore. She was a woman drunk on power, clinging to authority that wasn’t hers, convinced she shared t

57 A Little Fun In The Hallway

AdashaAs I made my way toward Kai's office, I couldn’t help but notice the shift in the air.The maid and guards who had been so bold and dismissive yesterday now shrank back, their eyes darting away as if the very sight of me was enough to stir fear.I wondered what Kai had done to them—what words or actions had turned their defiance into this subdued wariness. A flicker of satisfaction warmed my chest, though I kept my expression neutral.Halfway down the corridor, I bumped into Laura. Her presence was unmistakable, her posture stiff as if bracing herself for confrontation. I couldn’t suppress the smile that crept onto my lips."Luna Laura," I said smoothly, letting the words drip with mock sweetness as I reminded her of our little spat in the kitchen.Her lips twitched, caught between a smirk and something far less confident. Despite her attempt to keep her composure, I could see the embarrassment flickering in her eyes, betraying her."Giving out new orders lately?" I asked, tilt

58 Office Rendezvous

AdashaWhen I reached Kai's door, I hesitated for a moment before knocking gently, unsure if it was appropriate to intrude."The door's open," came his deep, familiar voice from inside. It carried that steady calmness that somehow always managed to make me feel both at ease and completely on edge.I pushed the door open and stepped inside, closing it softly behind me. There he was, seated at his desk, a tired crease on his brow as he sifted through a stack of documents.His hair was slightly dishevelled, and his shirt was unbuttoned at the collar, revealing just a hint of his tanned skin. Despite his weariness, he had an effortless presence that filled the room.He looked up as I entered, and his face lit up instantly.The shift was so quick and genuine that it sent a warmth blooming in my chest.I couldn’t help but smile back as I glanced around his office. My eyes caught on something that made me pause—a painting. My painting. The one I had done of him. There it was, proudly display

59 A New Hurdle, Maybe.

AdashaMorning came, and when I opened my eyes, the bed beside me was empty. Malachi was already gone.It felt strange—unlike him to leave without a word. But then again, we’d only just started sharing the same space.I supposed there would be mornings like this, where his responsibilities pulled him away before I could wake. Still, the absence of his warmth left the room feeling colder than usual.Mirabel came to attend to me that morning, her movements efficient but noticeably subdued.There was a heaviness about her, a quiet gloom that seemed to cling to her like a shadow.I hesitated, unsure if I should say anything. It wasn’t really my place to pry, but as the minutes passed, her silence began to weigh on me.Finally, I couldn’t hold back any longer. “What’s the matter, Mirabel?” I asked gently as she cleared away the meal that had been prepared.She paused, her hands trembling slightly as they rested on the tray. Her expression flickered with uncertainty, her brows knitting toget

60 Summoned

KaiA summons in the morning always left a sour taste in my mouth, but this one carried an unsettling weight. I had no illusions about Austin’s resolve—he’d promised action, and now, it seemed, he intended to deliver. Still, I hadn’t expected him to move so quickly.The urgency prickled at my nerves as I swung my legs out of bed, careful not to disturb Adasha. She lay curled beneath the blankets, her face soft with the rare serenity of sleep. She needed this rest more than I needed her goodbye.As I dressed, the floorboards creaked softly under my feet. My thoughts were as heavy as the silence in the room.Bridewood County awaited—a peculiar intersection of Southern charm and Western grit, three hours away but worlds apart from the solace of Eldenberge.If all went well, I’d be back before nightfall, though something told me this day had plans of its own.Before leaving, I ordered the guard stationed outside my door to stay vigilant."Keep Adasha safe," I told him, my voice firm, betr
