Kai’s POVMy heart won’t stop pounding. IAs i restlessly pace back and forth in the clinic corridor, waiting for any news about Alana’s life. It’s been two hours since she was taken inside. She was still in there, fighting for her life.And it was all because of me. I couldn’t protect her. I couldn’t keep her safe. My hands and clothes were still covered with her blood. Mother and Nadia, with Willow, got out safe. Alana would have gone out safe too if only she hadn’t come back for me.Why? Why the fuck did she not leave when I asked her to? Why did she come back? She was stubborn. She was too stubborn for me to hate her gut because I love all of it. I love her fierceness, her strength and now there is a chance I could lose her forever.My chest burned with rage and pain. Making me cry out in pain. This was my mistake, and she ended up paying for it. I never should have released or let that intruder go, but I did, thinking he was harmless.I had been the one who ordered Adam to releas

Alana’s POVI felt a shiver run through me as I met his cold gaze. He looked at me with anger and pain in his eyes, piercing me like a dagger. He seemed to want to say something, but he remained silent. His silence was terrifying than any word he could utter.“His name is Alex, and he..." I tried to explain, feeling my hands tremble. I swallowed the rest as I looked at Kai nervously, hoping to get his attention. But he didn’t react. He didn’t even blink.The silence stretched on, becoming unbearable. I was paralyzed, frozen by fear and guilt. I wanted to break the tension, to explain and apologize, but I could not. Kai's silence was worse than any words he could say. I wished he would say something, anything. Scream at me, maybe, but not shut me out. As I lay there, my heart pounded like a drum, threatening to burst right out of my chest.Each beat was a relentless reminder of the palpable tension that hung in the air between us, and it was worse than any pain that I have ever felt or

Alana's POVI was drowning in a sea of untold pain, my muscles weak and pulsating without mercy. I gasped for air, feeling more blood gush out of my wound. With every single breath I managed to inhale, I felt a sharp stab that left me paralyzed.I could hear voices talking around me, but I couldn’t figure them out. Everything else was passing in a blur. Firm hands carried me off the floor and back on the bed, but I felt numb, my life force getting drained out of me by the minute.I tried to connect with my wolf, but she had retreated further into the back of my mind, making it even more difficult. The fact that I was half human and half wolf didn’t help very much. I was vulnerable and weak. My kind is often frowned upon, but I didn’t choose to be made this way, nor can I change who I am.The pain was unbearable, and I wanted to die and end this agony. But Kai wouldn’t let me. His scent filled me whole as he came to me, his face a mask of horror and guilt as he hovered around my bed, s

Kai’s POVI couldn’t believe what I was hearing. It was almost impossible for me to accept. It felt like a dream, so surreal, to hear that Alana, the woman I loved, had just given me the shock of my life. The very one I was close to giving up on moments ago had three beautiful children who were also my flesh and blood. They were the ones she had been dreaming about—the ones I had heard her whisper in her sleep several times. The names I was secretly starting to loathe.Cameron, Chase, and Cassandra. They were my heirs.My heart pounded so hard that I thought it would burst right out of my chest. I stared at her with shock in my eyes, as if she had grown a second head in a matter of minutes. Or as if she was going to smile and say it was just a silly joke to calm me down. But the more I looked at her, the more I realized it was true. “Kai, please, listen to me,” Alana pleaded, her eyes shining with tears. “I swear to the moon goddess, I’m telling the truth. They’re your children. Camer

Alana’s POVI felt restless and trapped in the room, like a caged animal. The walls pressed in on me as I paced back and forth. The air around me was heavy—a constant reminder of Kai’s sudden exit earlier.My heart was pounding in my chest like a loud drum, each beat echoing my anxiety. Every second I spent trapped within the four corners of his room felt like an eternity, not knowing where he had gone or what fate awaited me.I had no idea what Kai was up to. He had left me here, alone and scared, after our conversation. He had accused me of betraying him and keeping our children's existence away from him.Kai had said things that hurt me more than any physical wound could have. And then he slammed the door behind him, leaving me in the silence of these walls.I paced back and forth, waiting for him to return and apologize. Deep down, in the shattered fragments of my heart, I hoped he would say he loved me, trusted me, and believed me.But I know he didn’t. Hours passed, and the only
