Kat's POV "Katrina James, to the principal’s office." The voice echoed through the school intercom, and my heart skipped a beat. I froze, my fork halfway to my mouth, and looked up from my lunch tray. Did I hear that right? Whispers started spreading through the cafeteria like wildfire. My classmates turned their heads, their curious and judgmental eyes settling on me. My face burned with embarrassment. I wished I could sink into the floor and disappear. I had never been called to the principal’s office before. I wasn’t the kind of student who got into trouble. I did my work, kept my head down, and stayed out of everyone's way. So why was my name being announced for the whole school to hear? I swallowed hard and forced myself to stand, my legs feeling unsteady. As I walked past the tables, I could hear people murmuring. Some were probably hoping I’d finally messed up, while others just wanted something new to gossip about. Being the only one in Blackwell Pack who hadn’t shifted

I wanted to argue, to demand answers, but something in her voice—the fear—made me shut my mouth. I had never seen my mom like this before. She wasn’t just worried. She was terrified. "Go to

Liam’s POV I had been in the middle of training when one of my warriors rushed over, his face serious."Alpha, we found a girl at the pack borders. She’s injured—badly. We took her to the pack hospital."A girl? My brows furrowed. Rogues were common, but a lone girl showing up wounded? That was unusual."Is she awake?" I asked, already moving."She just woke up," he confirmed.I wasted no time, heading straight to the hospital. When I reached the room, I paused for a moment, placing my hand on the door handle. I had no idea who she was, how she got here, or what trouble she might bring. But I needed answers.Taking a breath, I pushed the door open and stepped inside.She sat up in bed, looking fragile beneath the thin hospital sheets. The dim lighting in the room softened the harsh bruises on her skin, but I still saw them—the fading purplish blotches along her cheekbone, the swollen cut on her lower lip. She had been through something terrible.But even injured, even weak, she was b
