Surprise!
I haven't dreamed about Kim in ages, yet I heard her voice.A cold shiver ran down my spine as I awoke, the smell of morning dew filling my nostrils. I rubbed my eyes, trying to shake off the remnants of sleep. From the cave entrance, I could see that the forest was still veiled in morning mist. The
“You should’ve stayed where you were, and we would’ve found you yesterday,” Noah responded. “That would be too easy,” Kim stated. "Since you guys found me, you're clearly the winners of this competition, but you've got to get me back to the finish line." "You probably should hurry." Her voice had a
"Here, let me help you with that," Kim said, reaching for one of the thermos that I was holding.I pulled away from her touch, my eyes narrowing. "I don't need your help, Kim. What are you really here for?"Kim frowned and crossed her arms over her chest, clearly offended by my tone. "What's your pr
It was another goddess-forsaken full moon. I hated full-moon nights. Ever since the night like this when my life was torn apart. I stumbled through the front door, my clothes torn and matted with dirt. The foyer glowed with soft candlelight, illuminating elaborate flower arrangements and golden st
My heart pounded as I sprinted down the hall, my bare feet barely making a sound on the cold stone floor. I didn't want the man to change his mind; I couldn't bear the thought of what he might do if he knew my true status, lower even than an omega. My breaths came in ragged gasps, but I didn't dare

"Please help me," I begged, sending my desperate plea out into the pack link. "Someone, anyone, help me." But there was no reply, no sudden rescue, no last-minute miracle. Just the sterile walls of the operating room, the unnerving hum of the overhead lights, and the feeling of impending doom settling deep within my bones. This was it. They were going to separate us. They were going to take my wolf from me. I thrashed against my invisible bonds, bile and fury rising in my throat, but it was useless. I could only lie there, frozen in place, and watch in horror as they approached, tools glinting, ready to rip my wolf from my soul. “Goodbye Kailani,” my wolf whispered. The agony was unimaginable as if I were being torn apart from the inside out. A silent scream rang through my mind, full of anguish and despair. My wolf. They were taking my wolf. The pain was nothing like I had ever felt better. It felt as if my entire body was on fire. I couldn't breathe, couldn't think, and was l
