Chapter 9 + 5 Points In my first year with the Onyx Pack , I met Mike mentor , friend , and the first person who didnt look at me like I was shattered beyond repair .
Under his guidance , I invested in the training grounds he founded , a place where warriors were rebuilt not just in body , but in spirit .
By my third year , Id gone completely off the grid .
I poured everything into my research , shutting out the past and the people in it .
I earned my PhD .
After two rounds of negotiations , I managed to open a branch of the facility within Eclipse Pack territory .
Then came graduation day and with it , a phone call I wasnt expecting .
Josephine , my mothers voice trembled through the line , I miss you so much .
Chapter 9 + 5 Points My heart sank .
I knew that tone .
Something was wrong .
Its me and your father … we owe you an apology .
I cant keep this from you anymore .
For the past three years , Alpha Lucas has been suppressing Eclipse Pack just to find you .
And now … hes pushed us to the edge .
The moment I hung up , I packed my things and booked the next flight home .

And the second I stepped off the plane , I saw him .
Alpha Lucas .
He stormed toward me like a man possessed , eyes bloodshot , jaw clenched .
He grabbed my wrist .
Josephine , he breathed , I finally found you .
His voice cracked as he continued .
They all Chapter 9 + 5 Points I pulled my.hand free , my gaze steady and cold .
And what exactly were you searching for , Lucas ? His face crumbled .
His voice caught in his throat as he tried to speak .
Josephine , Im sorry .
I was wrong .
I know I was .
Just give me one chance please .
One chance to explain .
Ive always loved you .
From the very beginning , it was you .
I stared at the face I used to dream about , now unfamiliar and distant .

I didnt need to .
Were even now , Lucas .
Dont drag Eclipse Pack into this anymore .
Your pup wouldve been part of Eclipse Pack too … if it had survived .
His eyes widened , redder than before , and he grabbed my wrist again tighter this time , desperate .
Josephine … I know I hurt you .
I owe you more than I can ever repay .
I didnt mean to hurt Eclipse Pack .
I only did it because I couldnt find you .
I was going out of my mind .
And Claire theres no pup .
There never was .
If I ever have a pup … it would only be the one you give me .
I had a new wedding dress made .
Just for you .

Chapter 9 I used to laugh at those + 5 Points chasing the wife after divorce stories .
You know the ones the alpha regrets everything , cries a little , and the luna forgives him because love conquers all .
I used to think , Maybe the heroine should give him another shot .

The moment that person reappears , the pain hits you like it never left .
The scars start to ache .
Your body remembers the betrayal before your mind even catches up .

I pressed a hand to my chest .
No , it still hurts .
I wont lie to myself .
