Mag-log inNaraThe celebration begins before the sun even starts to set. For the first time in years, the Bay Moon Pack is not scattered among different factions. They are together, socializing at the pack party we organized, and my mother helped a lot with that.Multicolored string lights hang between the trees, music echoes through the grounds, and the scent of food and laughter fills the air. I'm taking it all in, scared that it will disappear if I blink. A month ago, none of us knew if Bay Moon would survive, and today we are celebrating its rebirth."Long live Bay Moon!" someone chants. "Bay Moon!" the crowd cheers, and a lump forms in my throat.Concetta slips beside me, nudging my shoulder. "You did this." I shake my head immediately, no, no."We did." I smile, looking around at all the familiar faces. She smiles proudly before disappearing into the crowd."Mama!" I turn and see my son crashing into my legs. "Rhys." His mouth is covered in cream, and his sticky fingers wrap a
Kian’s POVThe screen in front of me has looked the same for the past twenty minutes. I haven’t read a single word. My mind isn’t on the reports; it’s on her, Nara.I pick up my phone again to check, but there’s nothing, no new messages or missed calls. I know she’s busy, and her work is important, especially with the threat against her now that Wilson is back. But being away from my mate has never felt this wrong, and this distance is killing me.A knock sounds at the door. Before I can chase the person away, the door opens, and Naomi comes in, carrying two coffees.She smiles at me. “I thought you’d still be working.”I glance at the clock, it’s almost midnight.“Apparently.”Naomi walks over and places the coffee on my desk.“You need to sleep.”I give her a small smile. “Since when did you become my mother?”&ld
Nara's POV"That bitch, she's so... urgh, dead!" Ayana explodes in frustration after I tell him what I learned about Natalia."I'll have my people search for the witch, for now, our priority should be catching that bastard Wilson. He tried to kill you!" Sonny is growling, eyes glowing, and body shaking with rage."Our men caught sight of him in the city, but they weren't sure it was him," Concetta says, looking carefully at the silver bullets on the table.Sonny leans against the table, his expression serious."These weren't ordinary rogues. They are highly trained." Asher murmurs, "He really wants to take you out.""I know."The room fell silent, my jaw tight. The attack happened, and so far, what we know is that Wilson is back, and he came with a group of assassins.I spent the following day with my son and my mom, taking him to all the children-friendly places. The pack members were happy to see him too. However, I was anxio
Nara POVA familiar black SUV suddenly swerved into view, and my eyebrows knitted. The car came to a sharp stop right in front of me, tires screeching against the ground. Before I could react, the door flew open, and Adrian rushed to my side, his face tense, eyes scanning the area. “What are you-” A gunshot sound cut through the air, and then another. For a second, I don't know what is going on. Adrian starts to move, and his body slams into me, pushing me backwards as he wraps himself around me. I clutched onto his shirt, my nails digging into him as my heart hammered against my ribs. “Down!” he growls. I can’t even answer, and I'm barely breathing. Adrian is covering me completely, his body acting as a shield between me and the bullets flying through the air. He grabs my arm, hand tight around me. “Move.” His voice leaves no room for argument. Adrian drags me toward the city hall entrance as security guards rush past us, weapons drawn, shouting orders. The glass doors shat
Kian’s POVTwo weeks ago, at night, my wolf was feeling frantic, and no matter what I did, he wouldn't settle. I distracted myself with office work and then with training, but he was still restless. I had even forced myself into Nara's closet, hoping her scent would calm her. Nara has been gone for months now, and my wolf and I are unhappy about that, but we know her work is important.My wolf only calmed down temporarily, but as soon as I left, his anxiousness was back, so I decided to shift and run.The moment I stepped into the forest and let my wolf take over, relief flooded through me. My paws hit the earth, my senses sharpened, and the cold night air rushed through my fur.I was running when I suddenly smelled it, a strong scent that covered me, so alluring. It was strong. My wolf started to pace, tracking, and the closer I got, it was mixed with something else... Blood. Someone was bleeding. I shifted back instantly and wore shorts, searching the area. I followed the scent to
The following morning, I got ready for my meeting. The faction leaders had called me and requested it, I swallowed, looking into my mirror nervously. The door to my bedroom opened, and Mya walked in, her face fallen and pouting. Last night, she accused me of wanting to betray my mate and having feelings for Adrian. My feelings towards Adrian are unsettled and confusing. I don't necessarily want him, or want to mate with him. I feel a pull towards him, and it's hard to explain right now. I stand to face her, silent, eyes locked. "Morning..." she stares, and I nod. She exhales and sits on the bed. I sit next to her. "I'm sorry," she says. "I'm sorry for being harsh last night," she says softly. I throw my arms around her in a long hug. "I know you are worried about me and my relationship with Kian," I tell her, and she nods against me. "I'll fix everything and tell Kian about what's happening, but when I'm ready." Concetta and I arrive at the city hall. Fifteen faction leade

Nara's Pov I can't stop looking at them. The woman is pretty, with silky black hair cascading down her back, smooth, flawless skin, and dark brown eyes. They look like the perfect couple standing side by side. The woman can't hide her thrill, however, Kian doesn't look too pleased. His gaze flicke
