Chapter Sixty One : Under The TensionCara’s POVI sat in the quiet of Liam’s room, my hands resting on my belly as I stared out the window. The sun was setting, casting an orange glow over the pack. The past few days had been overwhelming. I could feel the weight of everyone’s stares whenever I stepped outside—some filled with curiosity, others with resentment. Even though Liam had chosen me, it didn’t mean his pack had accepted me.I turned my head when I heard the door open. Liam walked in, looking deep in thought. His brows were slightly furrowed, and there was something distant about him. He had been like this since he returned earlier today, distracted, as if his mind was somewhere else.“Did you hear?” I asked, hoping to get his attention.He looked at me, finally meeting my eyes. “Hear what?”“The rogues,” I said. “They are coming. It’s been spreading across the packs. They are planning to attack every pack.”Liam nodded slowly. “I know.”I frowned. His reaction was too calm. T

Chapter Sixty Three : An Option For Damon Damon’s POVI sat in my office, leaning back in my chair, while Lucas paced in front of me like a mother hen worrying over her reckless child. My Beta had a way of making simple things sound like life-or-death situations, and right now, his focus was on the upcoming gathering at the Head Pack.“Damon, you can’t go alone,” Lucas said for what felt like the hundredth time.I raised an eyebrow at him. “And why not?”He stopped pacing and looked at me like I had just asked if the sky was blue. “Because you’re the Alpha of the Lion Pack. You know how these gatherings work. Every Alpha arrives with a mate. It’s a sign of strength, stability, and power. You showing up alone? That’s like walking into a war zone without a weapon. People will talk.”I smirked. “Let them talk.”Lucas groaned and dragged his hands through his hair. “You’re impossible, you know that? They’re not just going to talk. They’re going to use it against you. An Alpha without a L

Chapter Sicty Five : The Day Of The Gathering Cara's POVThe party day was cold, the kind of cold that seeped to my bones and made me shiver even though I had on warm clothes. The sky was a dismal gray, thick clouds low and hanging, threatening rain but never quite materializing. The air was heavy with the scent of wet soil and pine, a smell I was accustomed to and which usually made me feel comforted, but today it was stifling.Everyone was preparing to go out to the Head Pack's domain, and the entire packhouse was charged with tension and anticipation. Warriors were double-checking their weapons, omegas were scurrying about, making sure everything was set, and the ranked wolves were at the door, ready for Alpha to give the cue.I remained quiet, watching as everyone moved into position. My chest was heavy, and I hated the ache in my chest. I did not even know why I was feeling this way. Maybe because I knew what was going to happen. This meeting was not a simple pack meeting. It wa

Chapter Scenety Sox: Broken HopesCara's POVThe moment Damon's hand wrapped around Sophia's, my whole world came to a stop.It was not supposed to be like that.I had stood there with my heart pounding against my chest, expecting him to make the choice and choose me. My arms had already extended, expecting him to come to me, his choice already made.But then—he passed by.Just like that.Like I didn't exist.And he chose her.Sophia.I was paralyzed. I was speechless. I could only stand there and watch as the scene unfolded before me. Damon, the man who was once mine—he had chosen another.For a couple of seconds, I tried telling myself it was not happening. Maybe I was dreaming. Maybe I had been mistaken. And then I looked at Sophia's face—the wide-eyed shock in her eyes, the puzzled expression on her face.She was really happy for this .Even Liam was shocked, his fists curled into fists.My throat closed, my breath hissing out in tiny gasps. I had to get out of there. I had to see

Chapter Sixty Nine : The MissingSophia's POVMy heart skipped a beat when I heard the news. Cara was missing.I had thought I misheard, that someone was pulling my leg, but the worried faces surrounding me told me otherwise. My hands trembled as I held onto the closest thing around me for support. Missing. She was missing. And she was pregnant.I did not waste a second. I turned and ran, my legs carrying me as quickly as I could have ever thought possible. My only hope was one individual now—Damon.I burst through the grounds of the pack, the sting of cold wind on my skin as I zigzagged among crowds of babbling wolves. They were all chattering, speculating. Some claimed that Cara had escaped. Others fretted she was kidnapped. I felt a chill at the notion. Cara wasn't just an ordinary wolf—she was with child. Anything that happened to her.I opened Damon's door without warning, gasping for breath as I went in.He was at the window, his back turned to me, as if he already knew I was th
