Rose had uncovered my lie. She knew I was pretending to be sick, and she used it to humiliate me. She deliberately wanted to put me under the knife, as if to show everyone how powerless I was against her. What if she’d gone through with the operation? She could have killed me right there on the operating table, and no one would have batted an eye. That merciless bitch.The werewolves of the Blue Lagoon pack were blind. How could they not see through her? She wasn’t some innocent, hardworking doctor trying to help the pack. No, she was the enemy, and she was manipulating everyone, turning them against me little by little.I couldn’t risk staying in the hospital. I bolted before they could strap me down. But my luck only worsened when I ran straight into Jack outside the building.His expression was cold—colder than I had ever seen it. I’d never feared Jack before, but at that moment, the weight of his authority pressed down on me.“This is my last warning, Hilary,” he said, his voice l
Hilary's point of view:Certain that Jack would accept his offer, Loren gave me a look of confidence."Sorry, Alpha Loren, but I won't sell Rose. She belongs to me, "said Jack nonchalantly before leaning back in his chair and looking at us, Loren and me, condescendingly.Did I hear correctly? Had Jack just said that Ross was his? I couldn't believe my ears. I felt my heart break so much I was suffering. I was seized by jealousy and despair.Jack and I had known each other for years. And we had supported each other to spend the worst moments in the dungeon. But, it was the first time he also showed himself possessive."Jack, do you forget that the Blue Lagoon pack needs money? It's a new pack and it needs funding. Besides, it's not like Loren is our enemy. We also can't afford to offend the other packs " I tried to persuade Jack , after calming down."The situation of the Blue Lagoon pack is not so critical, we will not starve even without these fifty million dollars. In addition, Rose
When I learned Rose no longer lived in the dungeon, I was furious. Jack’s kindness toward her was inexplicable. Giving her an apartment? Treating her like an equal? She was supposed to be a slave, and yet, she lived better than most wolves in the pack.That was when I knew—something had to be done.My plan unfolded with precision. I discreetly smuggled Loren’s werewolves into Blue Lagoon territory and waited for the perfect moment. After learning Rose’s schedule, I timed my move for when she was at work.Breaking into her apartment was laughably easy. Once inside, I made my way to her bedroom and poured a heavy dose of sleeping drug into the carafe of water she kept on her nightstand. Then I stationed Loren’s werewolves outside, while I took the apartment opposite hers. Through my telescope, I could see everything.When Rose returned home, she went about her routine—cooking, cleaning, and tidying her room. It took every ounce of patience I had not to scream at how slowly she moved. Fi
Jack’s point of view After finishing the last of my paperwork, I was preparing to turn in for the night when Lydia reached out to me through the mental link. Her voice carried a sense of urgency that instantly put me on edge.“Jack, Rose is missing,” she said.Without hesitation, I sent word to my men, ordering them to comb through our entire territory for her. Meanwhile, I rushed to her apartment, where Lydia was already waiting.“I came to bring her food, but she didn’t answer the door,” Lydia explained as soon as I arrived. “I asked the guards stationed downstairs, and they confirmed they saw her return from the hospital earlier. I forced the lock, but when I got inside, the place was empty. And her belongings—some of them are gone.”My jaw tightened. “What about Andrea? Is she still here?”“Yes,” Lydia replied, her face pale. “She’s at my house playing with Grace.”Her words didn’t sit right with me. Rose would never abandon her sister, no matter the situation.I stepped into the
Hilary’s Point of ViewNever before had Jack shouted at me so harshly, and I had never seen him so shaken. It was as if he was barely holding himself together.But why? Why was he so upset over her? Why was he yelling at me because of that worthless girl?My chest tightened with anger, but I forced my eyes to well with tears, letting sadness paint my face. I knew how to play my role. I let my lip tremble and my gaze fall to the ground, ensuring I looked pitiful and hurt.Jack’s threatening glare softened when he noticed my tearful expression. As always, my act worked. Whenever I pushed him too far, all I had to do was appear fragile, and he would back down.This time would be no different. Without Rose, everything would go back to how it used to be between us. That thought alone filled me with relief, even joy.Loren’s men had done their job—or so I thought. The fabricated scene they had created should have been enough to convince Jack to give up his search.But as Jack knelt to pick
Rose's POV."Take your dirty hands off my mate, you filthy bitch!" I heard a she-wolf roar with such ferocity as though she was going to kill me.Before I could even say anything, I felt a tight slap land on my face. Almost immediately, my vision blurred and I felt a little dizzy."You pathetic whore! How dare you seduce my mate?" The fat she-wolf shook her fists furiously and cursed at me."Excuse me? Are you blind? Your mate grabbed my hand first." I clutched my cheek and looked at her with a shocked expression on my face.Hadn't this she-wolf seen her mate ate me up with his lustful eyes? Much to my chagrin and confusion, I ended up facing the wrath of this unreasonable she-wolf in the form of another slap to my face. I fell to the ground and my ears were buzzing as if there were thousands of ants screaming inside my head."You are just a mere slave in the pack. How dare you talk back to me like that? Don't you know who I am?" The she-wolf pushed me to the ground and began punching
Rose's pov "What are you going to do?" The hair on the back of my neck stood up when I saw the way Jack was assessing Andrea. Andrea was still so young. Would he be so barbaric to torture a child like her? Jack grinned when he saw the pure terror on my face. He seemed to take great pleasure in seeing people's petrified faces. I didn't know why he was like that. "I can let you go, but..." He wiped his hands gingerly, as if he had just touched the filthiest thing on Wthis earth. "I'm not sure what will happen to your sister." "No! I will do whatever you ask. Please leave my sister alone," I begged in horror as I tried to stop him. "Take her away," he commanded, ignoring my pleas completely. "Alpha, do you want us to take her or her younger sister away?" one of the guards asked." The younger one, of course," Jack said as his malicious eyes bored into me. His order both shocked and terrified me. I crawled towards him faster than I ever had in my life, and threw myself at his fee
Rose's povLydia looked kind and considerate, unlike the other werewolves here. Although she had an air of indifference about her, at least she didn't make things difficult for me. After giving me a bath, she led me to a room."Alpha, Miss Dawson has taken a bath," Lydia reported respectfully."Who told you to call her Miss Dawson?" Jack's angry voice burst through the door. Lydia took a step back almost immediately upon being scolded and she swallowed nervously."Alpha, as you ordered, the sinner Rose has finished bathing.""You may leave now," said Jack as his tone of voice softened a little. Lydia handed me some clothes and motioned me to go in. I could hear my heart thumping as I walked into the room slowly and reluctantly. All I had on me was a bath towel that I had wrapped around my body. I shivered not because of the cold, but because of fear. The moment I walked inside, I saw Jack lying prone on the bed. He had a muscular figure; broad shoulders, slender waist and chiseled fe

Rose's POVA week had passed, and my life in the hospital had gradually become more comfortable. At first, the other werewolves treated me with distrust. Some patients refused to let me treat them, and my colleagues kept their distance, unwilling to work alongside me. I understood why—they saw me as the enemy, the daughter of the Alpha who had once attacked their pack.But things began to change. Slowly.After successfully treating a few patients, I earned their trust. They started to see me as more than just a name tied to their pain. My colleagues began including me in their discussions, sharing their insights and teaching me things I’d never known. They were skilled, dedicated, and surprisingly kind.These werewolves weren’t the cruel and ruthless monsters my father had described. They were humble, grateful, and hardworking. The more I learned about them, the more I questioned the decisions that had brought us to this point. Why had my father invaded this pack? What had driven him
I hadn’t seen Rose since the day in the forest, yet I couldn’t forget her expression. Her light brown eyes shone with fear and disgust, as if she had seen a monster—and that monster was me.But what did I expect? Gratitude? Forgiveness? After all I’d done to her, her hatred was justified. It should have been enough to push her out of my mind. Yet, her image lingered.“Shit, Jack. You’re pathetic,” Uriel, my wolf, growled, his voice sharp with disdain. “She’s your enemy—a slave now. You shouldn’t feel anything for her. If anything, you should be thanking me. Now that she hates you, she’ll steer clear of you.”“Thank you, Uriel,” I said flatly. My wolf’s voice faded, but his words hung in the air. I hated that he was right. Rose and I were fated mates, but fate had clearly made a mistake. I didn’t deserve a mate, least of all Rose.“You know, you’re better off without her. You’re not capable of love, Jack. You’re a killer, a warrior. You don’t need her,” Uriel said, calmer this time, as
Rose’s Point of View“Rose is right, Hilary. You should get treatment quickly if you’re sick. A brain tumor isn’t trivial. Your life could be in serious danger if cancer cells spread,” the nurse said, her tone filled with concern.Hilary’s dramatic screams had already gathered a crowd of curious werewolves outside the consultation room. They peeked in through the door, murmuring amongst themselves. Their concern seemed genuine, likely stemming from the fact that Hilary had once saved the Alpha’s life.“Rose is a good doctor. She’s saved plenty of lives, especially after the construction accident,” one werewolf assured her. “She won’t harm you, Hilary. We’ll make sure of it.”“Exactly. You should do everything you can to stay alive. Delaying this only makes things worse,” another chimed in.“Let’s get started, then,” someone said. “Nurse, prepare to shave Hilary’s head. The operation mustn’t be delayed any longer.”The suggestion caused Hilary to freeze. Panic flickered across her face
Rose’s point of view:I was sure that a young werewolf with a healthy life could not have so many symptoms at the same time. Besides, I had already prescribed medication and gave Hilary a massage to relieve her headache. It was therefore impossible for her condition to worsen considerably as she claimed.She had refused to have a blood test. The hospital of this pack did not have all the necessary diagnostic facilities. Realising that she continued to create a fuss, I assumed that she was pretending to be sick and that she just wanted to create problems for me.Fuck! She was so mean. In normal circumstances, I would have completely ignored her, but now I couldn't, because this work at the hospital was really important to me. Despite this, I could no longer stand her, now I had to find a way to reveal her lie and teach her a good lesson."Auch, I have such a headache. Would there be a competent doctor who could treat me? It's getting worse and worse! Rose is not at all competent. The a
