Maya’s POV-

I stared at Nate, who was cuddling lvy’s sleep form, and finally let out a sigh. The two of them might be a war zone when they were awake, but they were the sight of them, so peaceful and innocent.

As I entered the sitting room, I saw Natalia curled up against Nathan, and I couldn’t help but smile again. They were meant to be. I had always known it.

Natalia sensed my presence. Without a words she moved away from Nathan, smiling at me then patted the couch, creating space in the middle. There was no hesitation. I sat down between them, and they both hugge college, giving me comfort when things got tough with my father. We just stayed. In silence.

As we hugged, I couldn’t help but think about my mother’s words.

Jeremiah.

The brother I never got to meet.

The brother who was killed by Alex’s father.

I closed my eyes, trying to process it all. It was a lot to take in, and I hadn’t allowed myself to think about it too much. Natalia broke the hug, “You know this is the first place Ivan will come, right?” she asked, her voice soft but serious. I sighed, knowing she was right. “Yes, I know. But I couldn’t stay there.

Natalia shifted uncomfortably, her eyes darting to Nathan and then back to me.

She hesitated before speaking. “I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to bother you, but…I’ve been feeling like there was someone watching me. Shadowing me.” She added quickly, when Nathan’s eyes started to darken, “I can take care of myself

Nathan’s face darkened, his eyes flashing with anger.” I know you can take care of yourself, but with everything that happened in the past

Natalia flinched, her eyes dropping in shame. “I’m sorry, Nathan. I didn’t want to bother you, I didn’t want to add to your stress.”

I sighed sadly, feeling a weight of guilt settle on my shoulders. “I’m really sorry your lives are unending drama because of me. I mean, if I had Just listene *

I barked out a laugh, feeling a wave of relief wash over me. Natalia wiped the tears from my eyes, her touch gentle. “We love you unconditionally, Amaya. Always have and always will.”

Nathan nodded in agreement, his eyes never leaving mine. “We’re in this together, always. And we’ll face whatever comes next, as a family.”

Just as we were having a moment of peace, a loud banging sounded at the door, shattering the calm atmosphere. I let out a groan, feeling frustrated tha

I allowed myself to stay frozen for a moment, feeling a mix of emotions. Part of me was touched by his concern, but another part of me was angry at his audacity. I pushed him off, taking a step back. We both stared at each other for a moment, the tension between us evident.

Then, he sighed, running a hand through his hair. “You’re mad at me,” he stated, his eyes filled with regret.

“I’m not your property, Ivan,” I said, my voice firm but calm..“I appreciate everything you’ve done for me, but don’t ever think you can own

“That’s not how this works, Ivan. You said we were in this together. We don’t keep secrets from each other. I have told you every single dark thing about practically fused packs.. Why did you go to Alex before and not my father?”

He remained silent, his eyes fixed on mine his expression unreadable. I pressed on, my curiosity getting the better of me. “What is it, Ivan?
