RONAN'S POV “Are you sure it's not mine”I sat in the dark of my apartment long after the call ended, the phone still in my hand, her voice still echoing in my head. She had said it so quickly, so desperately, like the words had been waiting to escape her mouth for hours. "I'm pregnant, Ronan, and I need to get rid of this baby." And the question that had come out of my mouth before I could stop it—"Are you sure it's not mine?"—had been playing on a loop in my mind ever since.The question had been stupid. Pointless. The worst possible thing I could have asked in that moment. She was bleeding, she was terrified, she was calling me because she had nowhere else to go, and I had asked her if the child could be mine. Like that was the most important thing. Like the paternity of the baby mattered more than what she was going through.But I couldn't take it back. And I couldn't stop thinking about it.When she said it wasn't mine, the relief

ELARA'S POVI drove home with the Beta's car close behind me, his headlights a constant presence in my rearview mirror that I couldn't escape no matter how fast I drove or how many turns I took. The sun was high in the sky, the afternoon light harsh and unforgiving, and I wish I could see his face clearly through his windshield— I'm sure he would have looked calm, patient, utterly certain that he had won. He followed me all the way to the estate gates, and then, without a signal or a wave, he turned off and disappeared down a side road, leaving me alone to face the house I didn't want to enter.I parked the car and walked inside like a ghost, my feet heavy, my heart heavier. The hallways were quiet, the servants going about their afternoon duties, and I made it to my room without seeing anyone. I closed the door behind me, locked it, and then I fell onto the bed and cried. Not the quiet kind. The ugly kind. The kind that tore through your chest and left you empty and gasping. I cried

ELARA'S POVWhen my eyes slowly opened, everything was white. The light was too much, blinding and harsh, and I immediately closed them again, the brightness searing into my brain like a physical pain. I decided to use my other senses to figure out where I was, to piece together the fragments of reality that were slowly coming back to me.I could hear voices. Distant, muffled, overlapping. Someone was yelling, but I couldn't make out the words, couldn't tell who they belonged to. Everything was overwhelming, the noise, the light, the ache in my body that I couldn't quite place. I slipped back into my mind, letting the darkness pull me under again.When I opened my eyes again, I didn't know how much time had passed. It could have been seconds, or hours, or days. I had no way of knowing. But everything was a bit clearer now. I turned my head slowly and saw that there were tubes and wires inserted into my arms, monitors beeping softly beside me. I was in a h

CHAPTER 88 - RONAN'S POVThe Beta lay on the floor of my office, his body twitching, his hands clawing at his chest where the silver bullet had lodged itself deep inside him. He tried to shift, his body contorting, bones cracking, fur sprouting, but the silver was too much. It was stopping him. He couldn't complete the transformation. He screamed, a raw, guttural sound that echoed through the wrecked room, and tried again. Nothing. He was stuck. Human. Weak. Defeated.I watched him struggle. He clawed at the wound, trying to dig the bullet out, trying to stop the burning, trying to do anything to regain control. But it was useless. The silver was doing its job, spreading through his system, paralyzing him, bringing him down to a level I had never seen him at before.He collapsed onto his back, his chest heaving, his face pale and slick with sweat. And on his face, for the first time, I saw something I had never seen on him before. Defeat. Pure, undeniable defeat. He lay there, still a

ELARA'S POVShe has been the killer.The words hit me like a physical blow, and I felt everything inside me go still. The pain from the abortion, the exhaustion, the fear of what Kael would do to me—all of it vanished in an instant, replaced by something sharper, more immediate. The truth. The revelation. It crashed over me like a wave, and I couldn't breathe."What are you doing?" I whispered, my voice barely audible. "What are you doing?"My breathing became labored, my chest heaving as I tried to make sense of what was happening. Ronan walked toward me, his eyes soft, and I tried to grasp at his clothes, to stop him, to make him understand what he was doing."Trust me on this," he said.And then he walked away from me, toward Kael.He reached the Beta's body and kicked it. Once. Twice. Again and again, his foot connecting with the dead flesh, each kick sending the body sliding across the ground. He kept kicking it, over and over, until he was close enough to Kael that he could hav
