LOGINMia:Six months later.I never imagined I would see the pack like this again. I never imagined that the peace that was once in it would be returning to be something that was so normal and beautiful, that the smell of blood, fire and war would just leave us like it never happened.The pack had healed… to some extend. There were still those who were mourning, and our pack was still going to grow more, but today, it was a beautiful one for us all.I watched Brenda fuss with the front of her white dress for what had to be the twentieth time and smiled.“You know,” I teased, “it’s a little late to run away now. You are going to be stuck with him for life.”She glared at me through the mirror. “I’m not running. I will leave that for him to try and do… and being the beta, he won’t be getting too far before I’ve managed to catch him again.”“You’ve looked at the door four times.” I said, raising an amused eyebrow.“I was checking.” She said, biting her bottom lip.“Checking what?”She sighed,
Brenda:The temporary infirmary was overflowing.“Brenda, can you please get the painkillers from the cabinet.” One of the healers said, and I nodded, knowing that every extra hand was a helpful one at this point.Every available bed had been filled and the healers had long since begun treating warriors on blankets spread across the floor. The scent of antiseptic mixed with blood hung heavy in the air as cries of pain echoed from every direction.The war was over, but now came the healing part. And that was the most difficult one. “This is it.” I said, handing the painkiller to the healer before walking to one of the warriors, helping him with his bandage.“There,” I said, fixing the bandage around his arm.He smiled gratefully. “Thank you.”“Try not to move it too much,” I warned. “It is going to heal, but you are actually going to need to allow it to do that.”He laughed. “I’ll try.”The moment he walked away I reached for another roll of gauze. “You are going to wear yourself out.
Nathan:I had faced death more times than I could count. I had stood toe to toe with rival Alphas, bargained with men who traded lives like coins, led wolves into fights where I did not know if I would return. None of it had ever made my chest feel like it did in that moment.A little girl in my arms. Her small body pressed against my chest. Her breath warm and steady. The word she had said like a spell that rearranged everything inside me.Rosalyn sat in my lap, swinging her legs and chattering about the day as if the world had not just been torn apart. Children deserved that kind of light, and I knew that they deserved to keep it for as long as we could give it to them.“Are you sure that you want to do this?” I asked, looking at her, knowing that I wasn’t ready for it… at least, not fully.“I think it’s time,” she said. “You two deserve this together. And she already adores you. I am sure that she is going to be happy to know that you are her father.” Mia said gently, making me wan
Nathan:The silence of the house was a fucking lie. It was just a reminder of how everything happened earlier in the day, the week, and everything in between as we got through the most intense war that we could have ever been in.The two of us finally managed to somehow to go our room after the day, “How about we go and…?” I stepped into Mia’s space, my hand slamming against the wall beside her head with a force that rattled the frame.She tensed, and for a second, I could tell that she was trying to understand what I was going on about or what I was thinking of. But I didn’t give her time to process before I connected my lips with hers in a kiss that silenced her before she even thought about opening her mouth to speak.“I can't stop thinking about how close I came to losing you,” I growled, my voice a low as I let out a growl that came from my chest. “And I can’t stop thinking about the fact that I allowed myself to let you stand in the face of a man like him,”“Nathan…”“Never agai
Mia:The battle was over, and though I still couldn’t process it, I knew that we were finally free of the curse that we once called Vladimir.And for a moment, I found myself freezing as my heart dropped when I realized that there were two people that I didn’t see until now.Brenda and Rosalyn…I stopped so suddenly Nathan turned toward me. “What is it? What happened?”My heart hammered against my ribs. “Rosalyn.” The name came out as a whisper. “They didn’t come, Nathan…”Nathan’s face softened. “She’s safe. Both of them are safe. Elijah told me earlier.”“Are you sure?” I asked. “Why didn’t they come to us…?”He nodded without hesitation. “I made sure Brenda took her to one of the underground shelters after things started getting out of hand. I had Elijah take them himself before he came back. There were guards keeping them safe in and out.”A shaky breath escaped me. “I need to see them… we need to go.”Nathan smiled, careful and gentle. He slipped his arm around my waist, careful n
Nathan:Silence fell like a weight, one warrior at a time, and I knew this whole thing ended in a way that was worse than I believed that it would be.Vladimir was dead. The Alpha who played my woman, and the man who thought that he could get away with everything that he wanted… he was now dead in front of us. And the woman who had killed him was the same one he played… My woman, my Luna, and my love…I turned slowly my attention to Mia who was breathing hard, chest heaving with each exhausted inhale. Blood darkened her shirt and smeared her hands. I could not tell at first whether the stains were hers or his… but right now, I knew that this was the last detail for me to care about. She was standing and alive, and that was enough for me.She caught me looking and said, quiet and steady, “I am okay. You don’t need to worry.”I did not answer with words. I cupped her face with both hands, feeling the warmth of her skin beneath my palms before I leaned in to connect my lips with hers. Sh
Nathan:The second I heard Seirrah’s tone through the garden corridor, I already knew this conversation wasn’t going to end well for her.I had only stepped outside to find Mia after my meeting ended, expecting a quiet moment rather than a confrontation.Instead, I found one of my Gammas standing th
Mia:The first thing I realized when I stepped out of Nathan’s room the next morning was that Celeste’s tea actually worked.Thank God.Because if I had to spend another day overheating every time Nathan looked at me, I genuinely might have died from embarrassment alone.Not that Nathan helped, not
Mia:I wanted the floor to swallow me whole.That was the only thought running through my head as I sat on the edge of Nathan’s bed wearing one of his shirts while an older woman calmly unpacked herbs and small glass bottles from a leather bag near the table.She was Nathan’s healer, which somehow
Mia:“You know that you don’t have to be cleaning the mess, right?” Nathan’s voice took me off guard as he walked into the room. “Though I am not even sure how this mess actually seemed to happen, but I would assume that a little princess would have been the reason behind it.”“She chose to play th
