Mel's POV “I haven’t been at the house myself…you know, Alpha duties,” Jaxon says, a hint of weariness in his voice. “But my mom says she is adjusting well. She and Ava are practically getting along like sisters,” he chuckles, mostly to himself. “If she does know anything, she’s not speaking about it.” I scoff. “Look at me already failing at looking after her. What a good big sister I am.” Guilt eats away at me, knowing I haven’t been there for my sister as much as I should. He brushes his arm against mine, and I can’t stop my body from shivering in delight. I hope he didn’t notice. “You’re not failing her. Moon is very happy,” he replies softly. “Yeah, until she finds out that Mom-” I can’t even finish the sentence without feeling my stomach churn. I take a few deep breaths, then meet his gentle, green eyes. “Jaxon, I need to know. How did she do it?” I ask in a voice barely above a whisper. I’ve been dreading asking him this very question, and he forbade anyone from telling me.

Jaxon’s POV“What the fuck do you mean I can’t banish him?” I roar, my body trembling as I glare daggers at the council members sitting in from me. Shadow claws at my control, demanding to be let out.Dusk’s blue eyes remain cool and unwavering, which pisses me off even more. “Jaxon, he was grief stricken. There’s no evidence proving he knew what he was doing when he attacked Melanie.”“No evidence? Just look at her neck!” Shadow’s furious growls echo in my head as he listens to the bullshit being fed to us. I pace back and forth to keep from shifting, while Ameer leans against the wall near the door of the office.Usually, The Alpha Council does not involve themselves in pack affairs, but today they showed up to tell me who I can and cannot banish from MY pack. They weren’t the ones who had to walk in on Damon continuing to strangle his daughter while she was already unconscious. They didn’t have to see the bruises on her neck, or her swollen lips. The only thing that kept her alive w

Jaxon's POVSuddenly, a memory resurfaces in my mind. The second half of the memory of the first time I met them:We crouch down in the bushes waiting for Alpha Damon’s command. After my dad died, he never appointed another Beta, so only me and a select few were put on this task force. It’s a job that requires precision and absolute obedience—traits that matter the most to Alpha.Alpha Owen finally emerges from his house with his mate and two teenage sons. A family, clueless about what’s about to happen to them.Jaxon, this doesn’t feel right, Shadow whimpers.I know, but we can’t defy our Alpha.He knows that I’m right, but it doesn’t quiet the queasy feeling gnawing at my stomach. Our Alpha wants this territory, and it’s our job to get it for him—even if that means killing innocents.Alpha watches from the shadows, “assessing” my performance. I take down one of his closest rivals all by myself, shifting into my wolf form to complete the gruesome task. After tearing Alpha Owen’s head

Mel’s POVIt has been two days, and my voice box and throat are still swollen enough that I can’t talk without extreme pain, so I just communicate with the nurses through mind-link.Faye knocks on the door before entering, placing a tray of strawberry yogurt and apple juice on the table beside the bed.Thanks Faye, you’re the best. I try to sound cheerful despite the frustration bubbling inside me.She smiles. “Beta, how are you feeling today?”Like I want to get out of here, I reply, rolling my eyes.“I’m sure you will be released in a day or two. Just be patient and try to relax,” she scolds lightly, chuckling at my stubbornness. “Are you in the mood for visitors today?”Who is it? I hope it isn’t Jaxon. I’m not ready to face him after what happened between us.“Don’t worry, it’s just Bliss,” she assures me.I nod. Yeah, let her in. Faye leaves the room, and a few seconds later, Bliss walks in with a gift bag and get-well balloons. She places it on the table and sits down at the end

Mel's POVMy face flushes, but I don’t confirm her suspicions. There are some things I won’t be able to discuss, even with Bliss. We drive in silence for a while, the tension in my body easing the farther we get from the hospital. I roll down the window, enjoying the wind whipping in my face. Nina purrs in delight—this is the most we’ve been outside in days, and it feels so fucking good.“How long do you think it’s going to take them to catch up with us?” Bliss asks. The uncertainty in her tone makes me realize she’s just as nervous about this escape as I am.I shrug. Who knows, I just needed to get out of there. Thanks for breaking me out.All I want is to set Nina free for a while or start my duties as Beta—not stay cooped up in a hospital room where all I can think about is my dead mother or my homicidal father. I also want to see Moon again, but I’ll wait until I’m fully heal. I don’t want her freaking out about my extremely fucked-up face.Hey, was my mom’s funeral postponed? I as

Jaxon’s POV“What do you want to do tonight?” I ask, looking at the road ahead as I drive back to the packhouse. It’s nice to bring her home, even if it’s earlier than planned. The black and blue bruises on her chest and neck, the slight rasp in her voice—it all reminds me how close I came to losing her.I swear, I just need five minutes alone with that fucker that did this, and I will make sure he never touches her again. I don’t care if he was my father figure, mentor, or even Alpha. If anyone deserves to die, it’s him.What do you mean? she asks through mind-link.I’m glad she isn’t hurting herself by using her voice anymore; I don’t think she notices how much she winces when she speaks.Earlier, Shadow nearly forced me to shift when Doc told us she escaped from the hospital. The rage was all-consuming, his menacing growls uncontrollable. But the second he saw her, he calmed down.“To make sure you rest, I’m going to spend the rest of the day with you. You want to act like a child w

Jaxon's POV A small gasp escapes Melanie's lips, and she spins back around, her eyes filled with emotion. You did this for me? This was my surprise to her. Her previous room was shitty, definitely not fit for a princess like herself. The walls are now painted a warm sunset orange and there’s a queen-sized canopy bed with forest green bedding. In front of the bay window sits a chestnut dresser and two matching green accent chairs. I even took the time to hang all her band posters on the wall next to the 55-inch tv. “I wasn’t sure how opposed to sleeping next to me you’d be, so I wanted your room to be as comfortable as possible. I promise, as soon as this issue is resolved, we can move everything to the Beta level.” She looks away, chewing on her bottom lip as she nods. Even if she doesn’t say it out loud, I can tell she loves it. “Well, I’ll give you a little time to yourself then,” I say, turning to leave. “Don’t try to go anywhere. I’ll just go back to Bliss’s house and drag you

Jaxon's POV“Mel, why did you really leave the hospital?” I ask as we finish eating.This question has been weighing on my mind since I found her at Bliss’s house.I told you…I needed some fresh air.“That’s a lie. Try again.”She averts my gaze, looking down in her empty lap. Fine. It’s just…I didn’t know he’d still be in the hospital after…everything. My jaw twitches. No wonder she didn’t want to tell me the real reason. She’s afraid…of him. She’s right about to be— he shouldn’t be recovering right now. He should be fucking dead.“I’m sorry, my hands are tied,” I growl lowly, my frustration resurfacing. “The Council…they won’t let me touch him. You deserve justice, but I couldn’t get it for you.”How can I be Alpha, and still feel so powerless? It doesn’t make sense. I’ve only had the title for three days, and I’m already failing one of my pack members—one of the most important ones to me.She touches my forearm, gazing at me with the gentlest eyes. When I first heard he was still t
