Kai’s POV I took a step toward her, my voice barely more than a whisper as I finally let her name slip passed my parted lip, "Alana." I noticed her hand twitched slightly at the mention of her name. She seemed just as stunned as I was, her eyes widening only an inch as she looked at me. Her lips parted slightly, causing my heart to skip a beat when I heard my name tumble from her mouth in a whisper but I heard it all the same, a fragile but undeniable connection between us still. The world around us seem to fade into the background as we continued to lock eyes, and in that spilt moment, it was as if we were the only two people in the world. The past, the present, and the uncertain future all submerged in that singular gaze, and I knew right at the core of my being that nothing would ever be the same again. As I stood there feeling my heart divide between my duty to the pack/ woman I had just swore to be with and the undeniable pull of my past, I couldn't help but wonder what Alana'

Alana POV I stood in the dimly lit living room of my parent old house later that night, the memories of my childhood flooding into my mind like a tidal wave. Everything was still the way I had left it that day, though a little dusty and covered in cobwebs but nothing has been moved from its original position. Kai had insisted I stay back at one of the guest room in the pack house for the night but I had declined. It’s no doubt he seem concerned for my well-being, but I’d rather be in my old place than anywhere else. I had to be here, in this place that held so many things for me, both good and bad. This was home._my home with everything in it. The fireplace look death with burned out logs and ashes, just like my own memories. Everything feels odd and nostalgic at the same time. As I moved through the old and shattered remains of my home and past life, tears swelled up in my eyes. It was truly hard to believe that I was back here. The same place I had spent most of my childhood yea

Alana's POV Emotions swirled within me and causing a knot to form in my stomach as I found myself with tears filled eyes and realizing how much I was still undoubtedly drawn to the man standing before me. Those piercing blue eyes of his has always pulled me towards him, time and time again in the past and now standing here before him, I couldn't control myself nor could I get myself to look away. I was literally frozen at the spot, feeling my control slowly slipping away from me. "Here," I muttered under my breath, extending the delicate crystal towards him, attempting to hand it back, "I really can't have this, you should keep it. I don't want it" I said pushing the box back into his hands. His smile fell almost immediately, my refusal unexpected. "It's yours, Alana. I mean it’s coming late but it’s really yours" He said with a slight frown. “But I do not want it” I snapped. "Well then, If you don’t want it then you can throw it away" he continued, emotions twirling in his eye

Kai’s POVIt’s been an hour since Alana storm out of my room but I still can’t bring myself to shake her thought out of my head. My whole thoughts was still consumed by Alana. Her angry words, Her fierce gaze as she threw them at me still lingered in my mind like a haunting melody. I shouldn’t have gone that far but I couldn’t help myself and let my emotions get the best of me. I was still consumed by an unfulfilled longing burning deep within my chest for her. Ever since her reappearance in my life, I have this unquenchable yearning to have her back in my arms, to feel the warmth of her embrace once more. My heart still aches with each passing moment she remained distant and away from me. Every time I see her, my mind reel with thought on how to get her back for good and each time I try, I just seem to push her away even more. After she stepped into my office early this morning, for a second back there, I actually thought she had come to say good bye until she said the very word

Kai's POVMy heart pounded in my chest as I stood dumbfounded, my locked eyes with Alana fierce ones. Her once shy gaze now held a fiery intensity that sent warning signal down my spine and alerting my wolf almost immediately. Moment ago, we were almost about to kiss as there was an undeniable force that still pulled our body towards each other and just like that, all of the attraction was been replaced with something savage and almost carnal. I couldn't understand why she was acting so enraged all of a sudden but I wanted to find out, needed to know what was going on with her. I took a step closer and was about to take her hand in mine when, suddenly, Alana's wolf form exploded into motion. Claws extended and charging toward me. I braced myself for her attack, ready to defend myself without a doubt but to my uttermost shock, instead of coming directly at me as I had expected, she moved to the side at the last moment, her massive wolf body colliding with another figure that seem to
