EMILY:A loud scoff escaped my mouth as I stood at the entrance of my room. I could hear the argument between Mia and Shane, but I was too worried to intervene. It even dawned on me when she uttered that Christian had no idea what happened between them in the past and she had rejected that until the last moment, Mia tried everything to protect Shane, even sacrificing her happiness.Why the hell would Shane do that to her... That was betrayal but since I couldn't judge, I didn't want to blame him without hearing his side of the issue and his reason. Thinking about betrayal, I felt a blurred scene play in my head, but I couldn't understand what exactly it was, and then my head started to pound heavily.As I took a deep breath in, I walked back into the room and sat down on my bed. Lilith was peacefully asleep with the duvet covering her body. I cocked my head at her and smiled warmly thinking about what she had said to me earlier before she fell asleep. She must be all grown up now, and

"Alpha, alpha, we finally found it," Zane yelled as he rushed into my room. I was busy studying an ancient book about the silver Lycans, but the moment he got in, I shut it and raised my head to stare at him."Found what?" "Karen's mother. The secret hideout where she was hidden."I rose to my feet immediately when I heard this and walked towards Zane. "Are you serious?" When he nodded his head, I let out a smile,"What are we waiting for, let's go right now.""Not now, alpha. We have to wait till nightfall before going there. That's our only chance of succeeding as there are way too many wolves guarding the entrance.""Alpha Damon must really think he's so smart. Good, keep some eyes on the hideout until nightfall." I ordered Zane, and when he nodded his head, he turned and walked out of my room. It felt like things were slowly going my way and all that was left was to find this silver Lycan so everything could be in place.Everyone in the Mafia family were putting their hopes on me
CHRISTIAN POV"What? Why would you even make such a decision? Isn't it absurd that she takes over your place with little experience?" Talia bursted out staring at me coldly. I could see anger in her eyes as she spoke,"Emily isn't inexperienced. She carried out an operation alone even without a license months ago, and she has incredible skills. I think she's the best person for this position.""This isn't you, it's your feelings. It's very clear you're blindly in love with her and that's the reason for this decision." Talia fired back, but I wasn't going to scold her,"If you don't mind, I have to do something important." This was me indirectly asking her to leave my office since I was in no mood to scold her. "Christian,""It's Dr Christian, Talia," I responded, still holding myself from getting angry while she scoffed and rose to her feet. "I have no idea whatever spell she cast on you, but this isn't you. This isn't the man I always looked up to when I first met." She uttered and b
TYLER: NIGHT FALL."Can I come with you? What if something goes wrong, Tyler?" Karen kept asking questions as I was getting prepared to leave the pack for the secret hideout. I knew if I missed this opportunity, then another would never be able to come by so easily. I took her hand in mine and drew closer to her."No. I can't risk you getting exposed to danger." I uttered and kissed her forehead gently. It was because of the baby, but I didn't want to say that to her else Karen might end up sneaking out and coming with me."Are you certain you'll be fine? Please bring her to me safe and sound." She begged softly, and staring into her eyes, I saw fear. Was she worried about me getting hurt over there, or was she worried about the safety of her mom? "I promise, I'll bring her home to you." When she nodded her head, I let go of her head and cocked my head towards Zane.As soon as I nodded my head at him, he began walking away with some other wolves he had arranged earlier. I turned arou
CHRISTIAN:"The Voltori are here? What are they doing here? What do they want?" Shane questioned surprisingly. I had not wanted him to know earlier, but right now, I had bi choice because I needed all the help that I could get."Yes, they're here. They want me to become one of them or pledge my alliance to their pack, but I can't do that. They know my true identity, and I can't let anyone out there find out.""What about Mia? Isn't she...""Shane, I'm leaving Mia's safety to you. Mia can never find out exactly how powerful her wolf is or anyone in the world. If that happens, she'll be in grave danger and we might not be able to protect her."I watched Shane curl his hands, "What's wrong? Did something happen?" I was curious to know because he only does that whenever he is mad about something,"No, nothing. I'll protect Mia no matter what, Alpha. I won't let her out of my sight." The sound of Shane's voice made me know that he meant every single word he said and I was happy. I could ne
AUTHOR'S POVKaren stood at the entrance of the two big doors leading to the living room. She had her hands on her protruding stomach, rubbing it gently."Your dad is going to be home safe and sound right? Nothing's going to happen to him right? I don't have to be worried right?" Karen questioned, trying to calm herself down with these words even though it was clear that she felt uneasy. Tyler might be so harsh to her, hate her for everything, for destroying his marriage, and even love someone else, but the undeniable fact was that she loved him very much and this feeling was so hard to battle.She had tried too hard to hate him in return, but it all failed."Luna Karen, your meal is ready, and the doctor will be on his way to check up on you in less than an hour. The maids are also preparing a warm bath for you." Karen heard but didn't turn her gaze at the maid who had just announced all of this,"Luna...""I heard you the first time, but I'll eat when my Alpha returns to the pack. I
CHRISTIAN: "Hey...""Shhhhhhh, Lilith's asleep. I need to take her to her room right now." Emily cut me off and I nodded. I walked closer to the bed and saw Lilith asleep while Emily was gently trying to pick her up in her arms so she wouldn't wake up."Let me," I uttered, and Emily stepped aside. I had taken care of Lilith since she was a baby, and even though she hardly talked to me, I knew how to carry her in my arms in a comfortable manner. I pulled away my suit jacket, dropped it on the bed beside her, and pulled out my wristwatch."Here, hold on to this." As Emily collected it, I leaned closer to Lilith and placed my hands on her back. As I picked her in my arms, she made a little movement making Emily think she would wake, but she didn't,"Oh, thank goodness," Emily uttered, while I began to walk away with Lilith. As I got to her room, I placed her on the bed gently while Emily placed the duvet on her properly. I watched her lean closer and planted a soft kiss on Lilith's fore
