The first thing that hit me as my eyes fluttered open was Grayson’s scent. It wrapped around me, familiar and grounding, but the moment I stirred, I braced myself for pain. I had felt my body slam against the ground after the explosion hurled the three of us out of the factory, and I was certain my body would be broken and aching. But instead… I felt fine.

I remembered the heat licking at my skin, the searing flames consuming everything in their path. I had thought that was it— my final moment. But then, in an instant, we were flung out, and everything went dark.

“You’re awake.”

I blinked, turning my head toward the voice. Isabella was sitting in the corner of the room, arms crossed, eyes burning with something that looked dangerously close to rage. If I had to describe her expression in one word, it would be–outrageously pissed. Well, that was two words, but…

Then it hit me. Everything else.

The memories rushed in like a flood, and before I could stop myself, I was already pushing off the bed.

Isabella’s voice cut through my panic, “Your father is fine. Or, at least, he will be. Grayson had the entire realm searching for that Nightshade thing, and Maria saved him with her magic. She put him in a sleeping state so the antidote could work properly.”

That should have calmed me, but my mind was already onto the next person. I tried to move again. “Damien-”

“We know.” Her voice was firm, eyes sharp as she cut me off. “Your mother told us everything. Damien was behind it all. Liam was just his puppet. He stole your twin sister–the one you didn’t even know existed. And Elaine? She’s not actually pregnant. Liam’s been using her from the moment they got involved.”

I stared at her, my heart pounding.

She continued, “Your mother took your pack and your father back to their house. Grayson has been gone for days, but before that, he held a meeting. Every single wolf in the realm was in attendance. I’ll spare you the details for now. We are all aware that the realm is under attack but no one is dying at this very moment, and no one is in immediate danger, which means you and I are going to talk.”

My breath caught, andtively,

my hand went to my stomach.

Isabella’s gaze followed the movement, but the anger on her face didn’t waver. “Your mother has been checking on you. The baby is fine.” Her lips pressed into a thin line. “Grayson doesn’t know.” She exhaled sharply. “And I think with that, I’ve said enough.”

Silence settled between us, thick and suffocating.
