Haven’s POVAiden had hit me.The thought repeated in my mind like something unreal, something I couldn’t quite process no matter how many times I forced myself to replay it.He had hit me.For a long time, I stood where he had left me, unmoving, my fingers still pressed against my cheek as if I could erase the sensation by sheer will alone.But it wouldn’t go away, neither would the look in his eyes.It wasn’t anger that haunted me the most, it was the fact that he hadn’t hesitated, not even for a second. As if I had already become someone unworthy of restraint.“…How did it get to this…?” The question slipped out, hoarse and hollow.But there was no answer, only the slow, creeping realization that everything I had once relied on was slipping away.“Since you are here...” he said as he picked up a tablet from the desk and tossed it toward me.I caught it instinctively.The screen had articles centered around one thing. Me.Haven’s Past Bullying Scandals ResurfaceWitness Accounts: Y

Author’s POVAiden stood near the bar, his posture rigid, his expression unreadable to anyone who did not know him well. But inside, he was unraveling.His fingers tightened imperceptibly around the glass in his hand, the faint clink of ice against crystal echoing louder in his ears than it should have.He watched Rue.Even from a distance, she drew his gaze like gravity. She stood across the hall, composed and distant, speaking to others with that same calm authority she had worn so effortlessly tonight.She didn’t look at him and that broke him. It gnawed at him, hollowed him out from within. His wolf stirred uneasily beneath his skin, restless, agitated, unwilling to accept what his mind had already begun to realize.She’s gone.Aiden refused to accept that. He had lost too much already, his pride, his pack’s stability, the fragile illusion of control he had once clung to.He would not lose her too.Even if he had to force fate itself to bend.His gaze shifted slightly toward the g

Haven’s POVThe moment I saw the police standing outside, my heart dropped so violently it felt like it might tear itself apart.For a split second, I couldn’t breathe.My fingers tightened instinctively around my bag, my nails digging into the leather.No.No, no, no...I forced a smile onto my face, even as my pulse thundered wildly in my ears.“Miss Haven,” one of them said. It sent a chill crawling down my spine.“Yes?” I replied, my voice steadier than I felt.He exchanged a glance with his partner before continuing.“We have a few questions for you.”“About where you were… on March 2.”March 2.The date hit me like a physical blow. I remembered the stairs, the fall, the blood. Sora’s hand clutching at my ankle. Her voice weak and desperate.“I… don’t quite recall,” I said carefully, forcing my expression into something neutral. “It’s been a while.”The officer studied me for a moment longer than was comfortable.Then he nodded slowly.“That’s fine,” he said. “We’ll need you to c

Haven’s POVThere, I met with Percy. I was surprised to see him there because it was a private morgue and he had no reason to be there. It baffled me even more that the mortuary attendant was standing beside him.Panic filled me the moment Percy asked me what I was doing there, and since I couldn't tell him the real reason, I lied. “I’m just looking for a restroom.” “Not these?” He asked while handing me my earring.For a second, I was dumbstruck, then my worst fears were confirmed. He knew I was here earlier, and I hoped he didn't know the reason why. However, his next statement threw me off.“People who do crime will eventually be punished. They might try to run and hide but at the very end, justice will catch up with them.” He said.“W-what are you talking about?”“I know you know what I mean.” Percy said “ Just make sure that you don't mess with the people that I love. Or else, I’ll end you.”The manner that he said so casually made a chill ran up my spine. He wasn't joking, an

Rue’s POVI sat inside the black SUV parked across the narrow street, staring at the apartment building in silence. It was old, not old in the charming sense, this place looked exhausted.The paint on the walls had peeled away years ago. Rust stained the metal railings. The windows were fogged with grime, and several balconies had laundry hanging from them like surrender flags.This was where Haven’s mother lived now. Not the luxurious townhouse she used to flaunt to everyone. Not the carefully curated home filled with expensive furniture. This was a one-room apartment.I lowered my gaze to the badge in my hand.Haven’s badge. The silver surface was scratched, but her name was still visible. The moment I had received it from the investigators, I knew Haven had something to do with Sora’s death.It was minutes of me staring at the place when the apartment door downstairs suddenly opened. A thin woman stepped outside carrying a small grocery bag.Haven’s mother.I almost didn’t recogniz
