Elena's POV The early morning light filtered through the pack house windows and casted a golden glow over the kitchen, while I busied myself with preparing breakfast. It was a calm morning, but I could feel tension in the air. While the battle went on yesterday, Alphonso got captured and what was going to be done with him hadn't been decided yet, but whatever decision was going to be taken will define the pack's future.I stood by the counter, stirring a pot of oatmeal while Kanu and Kiana bickered playfully over the cereal I had given them earlier. Something about their laughter and noise felt comforting and reminded me of the simple life that we almost lost. It was hard to imagine that we managed to pull through, but as I glanced at the family photo, the realisation that we had survived set in.Then, Rex walked in, looking as if he had just woken up, his dark hair a bit ruffled. "It sure smells good in here," he said groggily.I smiled at him. "I'm preparing breakfast obviously, bu

Elena's POV The energy was electric in the pack house. Wolves in human and shifted forms moved around the courtyard with their voices conveying relief and celebration. Despite the tension everyone felt from the battle we endured, everyone felt hopeful and personally, I can't remember the last time I felt that way.Standing near the edge of the crowd while watching as pack members approached Rex to congratulate him, I noticed that he moved slowly as a result of his injuries but his presence was still as commanding as ever. He cemented his role as a leader with each nod of his head and each word he exchanged with them. "Are you okay?" A voice said from my side, breaking me out of my thoughts. Turning sideways, I see that it's Logan."I think so," I replied, my gaze shifting back to Rex."You give off this feeling of someone that's getting ready to run." Logan said with a mischievous smile, though his tone was gentle.That caused a short laugh to escape my lips, "it's just a lot. All o

Elena's POVI woke up to the morning light filtering through the blinds of the hospital room with its soft rays washing over Rex's face. He was still asleep with his chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm. Despite how pale he looked with the bandages wrapped around his chest, he looked like a warrior at rest after fighting a long battle.Leaning back against the chair by his bed with my body still aching from dozing off in an uncomfortable position with my hands still resting on his, unwilling to let go I closed my eyes slightly but the image of Logan walking towards me with some of Rex's blood on his body replayed in my head. The door opened behind me and I turned to see Logan walk in with clean clothes and a smile on his face while carrying two cups of coffee. He smiled at me softly as he approached before placing one of the cups on the small table beside me. "I thought you would need this," he said as he sat down on the other side of Rex's bed."Thanks," I replied gratefully

Elena's POV I was in a room, praying that the battle goes in like favour when a wolf rushed in agitation."What's going on in the battlefield?" I asked hurriedly."We were able to defeat Kingsley but..". "But what?!" I asked impatiently."The Alpha was wounded in battle and is being rushed to the hospital right now." As I heard that, I felt dread overcome me and without a second thought, I grabbed my keys."Marie!" I called out, my voice shaking. "Watch the kids for me. I have to go."Maria frowned in concern, "Elena, hold on!"But I was already out the door, my heart pounding as I drove towards the hospital.The drive to the hospital was a blur with my mind focused on getting to the hospital as fast as I could. The sounds of the radio faded into the background as my thoughts consumed me with the words of the wolf being played over and over again in my mind."What if he doesn't make it?"The very thought of that happening struck me hard at my chest like a punch. I had spent so much

Elena's pov"What if you don't have to?" Alicia asked, "you don't really have to go back to how things were between you two and honestly, I don't think it's a good idea since things were pretty toxic between you two.""That is true." I said with a gentle nod of my head. "So I suggest that you both build something new." She replied.Hearing that, it was as if a door opened up in my mind as I began to seriously consider her opinion.The following morning, the Pack gathered at an open field which was the site of the meeting with every wolf on high alert.Standing before us was Rex with his commanding presence as he addressed the crowd. "Today we are here to fight for the future of our packs. Kingsley and Alphonso have both been controlling us for so long using just fear and manipulation and it's time to put an end to it."In response, everyone cheered in approval with some of them howling. I stood at the edge of the gathering with the women and children while looking for signs of troubl

Elena's POV I, my twins, Marie and Alicia had moved to Rex's pack away from New Kingston. He had figured out that if we remained in New Kingston we'd be easily attacked by Kingsley and his cohorts.His mother was so filled with joy to see us finally return to the pack.Standing at the edge of Rex's pack grounds, I felt the cool air against my skin. All around me were werewolves shifting into their forms and patrolling the perimeter with their scouts running back and forth with one update after the other. Turning sideways, my eyes rested on Rex who was barking orders with authority which was expected since he was an Alpha and knew the weight of his responsibilities.Anyone else standing on the spot I stood would have felt nervous or utterly terrified but I felt oddly calm. I knew what was happening right now wasn't just about survival anymore but about standing for something and protecting the people that matter the most.As I busied myself with my thoughts, a voice broke me out of it

Henry's POV“Boss.”I got off the treadmill before turning to look at my assistant, Blake, who was standing there like he had something urgent to tell me.“Speak.” I said calmly before taking a drink from my bottle.“J&K sold their company and all ownership transfer has been set to place,” he said, pausing to see my reaction but I just stared blankly at him. “The new owner just launched a new product in Tee Foods name and it was launched yesterday and it has surprisingly blown off the charts.”That got my attention, but only in the business aspect. There was only one way to get that much sales in just a day after rebranding a company, and that was support from even bigger companies. It was a risky thing to do, but the new owner must be one who knows his or her thing well.“And she's the new owner.” He said, turning the iPad with him to show me the woman I had come across in the grocery store the previous day. I've been unable to get her off my mind for a strange reason even though it'

Rosetta's POVI stood in front of the apartment building I had got, finally furnished with everything I needed. One thing I was grateful for was the fact that I was smart enough to buy some stocks a few years ago.Justin spoke about the stock market a lot and I wanted to get it for him as our anniversary gift that year, but thankfully he just had to throw me in prison a week before that. And, the stocks doubled the amount I initially expected it to be by now, twice.I lost myself in smoking while leaning against the rooftop to have a good view of the city. I have never appreciated something this much like I was doing now, and it was just sweet to finally be free from the dolled up life I was living.Maybe going to prison might be a bad thing for others, but it was good for me. It made me wake up to reality and made me stronger than I used to be.Putting out the cigarette in my hand into the ashtray, I walked out of my apartment and down the block to get something in the grocery store

Rosetta's POVGraaaank.The sound echoed through the stone corridor as the warden pulled open the cell gates. I was standing behind it, counting down to the amount of minutes I had left in this place that I've found a bit of peace in these past five years.“Rosetta Miller, you're out.” The warden called. I looked up from my seated position before standing up to leave.I stepped out of the place with a frown while heading towards the locker room to get changed out of my prison outfit.Changing into a much more inviting t-shirt and jeans, I looked at my reflection in the mirror. No one would be able to recognize me anymore. I dyed my brown hair pitch black and made it shorter than it used to be. My bright look was dark and gloomy, showing the amount of experience I've had in this hell of a cell.“I hope we never get to meet again.” I mumbled as I stepped out of the gates, into the fresh air of freedom I haven't felt in a while.I brought out my phone, looking at the time and the latest

Rosetta's POV“You can't keep doing this to me, father. I am also your child.” My voice of protest broke through the silence in the entire room. The room was huge and my voice echoed within it but I didn't care.“I have made my decision, Rosetta. Theo will be taking over the shares instead of you. You did go against me when you decided to get married to that bastard anyway and I took it as a cue to do what I want. Or you think it's unfair?” My father asked, not showing even a bit of remorse for giving what was meant to be mine to my older brother.“You've given him your company, your estates, more than half of your property and you expect me to just sit back and get nothing? You've always been unfair–”“Watch your words with your father, Rosetta. You already got one thing you wanted and how is it going?” My mother spat at me mockingly. “You can't even keep your husband for yourself, how would you keep any of the properties?”“Don't speak about Justin like that, mother–”“Oh just shut
