Chapter 213 Liam’s P.O.V. I woke up to a hollow space beside me. The bed was cold where Mai should have been. At first, I thought she had just shifted in her sleep, maybe gotten up for a drink of water or she had gone to the bathroom. But then
Chapter 212 Mai’s P.O.V. Liam’s mother, Mara flinched at Liam’s words. “Liam, sweetheart, she p> “I don’t remember you.” Liam said, his words sounded harsh but it was true. “I don’t remember any of you p> A strangled sound escaped her throat. She staggered back like he’d physically struck her,
Chapter 211 Mai’s P.O.V. Their silence was suffocating. The man—my supposed father—stood frozen, his hand half-raised like he wanted to reach for me but didn’t dare. The woman—my supposed mother—had tears brimming in her eyes, her lips slightly parted, trembling as if she were about to say something but couldn’t
Chapter 210 Mai’s P.O.V. The room felt smaller. Tighter. Like the walls had started creeping inward the second those words left the officer’s lips. “We’ve found your family p> For a long, terrifying moment, the world was silent and then— “What?” Becky’s voice shattered the stillness, and before I could
Chapter 209 Liam’s P.O.V. The buttery scent of popcorn filled the small kitchen as I emptied the freshly popped kernels into a bowl. The rhythmic hum of the microwave had faded, replaced by the distant murmur of the television from the living room. Mai had stayed behind, flipping through channels,
Chapter 208 Mai’s P.O.V. I never thought I’d find peace. Not like this. Not in a sleepy town like Wood Falls. Liam and I did everything together now. It was easy, natural. We woke up in the same house, on the same bed, worked at Becky’s café, wandered the woods
Chapter 207 Liam’s P.O.V. A loud knock jolted me awake. I shot up in bed, heart pounding against my ribs. My room was dark except for the faint light of the alarm clock. 2:56 AM. Another knock, weak and slow, echoed through the quiet house. “Liam?” Becky’s groggy voice came
Chapter 206 [Mai’s P.O.V. Liam didn’t remember me. He didn’t remember us. The realization hit like a fist to the ribs, knocking the breath from my lungs every time I saw the confusion in his eyes—the way he looked at me like I was nothing more than a stranger. Every
Chapter 205 Liam’s P.O.V. The moment she spoke my name, my body went rigid. My heartbeat pounded in my ears, drowning out the quiet hum of conversation in the café. The rag slipped from my fingers, hitting the floor with a soft plop. I barely registered it. She took a
Chapter 204 Liam’s P.O.V. The woman who took me in—her name was Beatrice, but she told me to call her Becky. She wasn’t what I expected. I thought she’d be another person who gave me a sandwich and sent me on my way. Instead, she pulled me into her tiny
Chapter 203 Mai’s P.O.V. The night I left was quiet. Too quiet. The moment my feet touched the damp soil outside the pack’s borders, I felt it—the weight of what I’d done. I’d left them. Ollie, my parents, my pack. I’d left everything behind. Including my one chance to meet
Chapter 202 Mai’s P.O.V. Two days passed. Two long, excruciating days, and still—Eldur wouldn’t talk. I knew he was just toying with us. My father and Papa Adrian locked him up, interrogated him daily, but I knew it was useless. Eldur could teleport out of that room whenever he wanted.
Chapter 201 Mai’s P.O.V. The whispers wouldn’t stop. Kill him. Kill him. Kill him. I lunged. Eldur barely had time to react before my hands wrapped around his throat. The room exploded into chaos. “MAI! LET HIM GO!” My mother’s voice was distant, lost beneath the roaring in my ears.

Chapter 199 Mai’s P.O.V. Liam was gone. The cold realization slammed into me like a physical force, stealing my breath. I bolted out of the water, my feet kicking up sand as I scrambled onto the shore, my soaked clothes clinging to my skin. “Liam!” My voice cracked as I
Chapter 198 Mai’s P.O.V. Everything was smooth now—at least as smooth as life could get for me. For the first time, I didn’t feel like I was constantly at war. I had come to understand my parents better, even if their brand of love was a little suffocating. My relationship
Chapter 197 Liam’s P.O.V. I woke up to warmth. It was the kind of warmth that was unfamiliar—solid, soft, and definitely not my pillow. My breath hitched, and my entire body tensed. Someone was hugging me. From behind. Panic surged through me as I jolted, my muscles locking up. My
Chapter 196 Mai’s P.O.V. My father let out a heavy sigh, his expression a mix of concern and hesitation. He got up from his desk and walked up to me, then he reached out, gently placing a hand on my shoulder, as if I was an injured animal that he
Chapter 195 Mai’s P.O.V. Liam and I stood at the tree line, staring at the Alpha’s residence. My heart pounded so hard I could feel it in my throat. This was it. I had run through this conversation in my head a hundred times, twisted and rewritten it in different
