I was suffocating in the confines of my own home, trapped by my mother's relentless pressure to marry the Alpha of our pack—a man three times my age. I tried reasoning with her, pleading for the freedom to choose my own path, but she remained deaf to my words."Why can't I have a say in my own future, Mom? Why am I being forced into this?" My voice trembled with a blend of frustration and anxiety."Tradition, Zelda. It's what's expected of you as an omega," she snapped back, her words like an iron grip on my spirit.I couldn't believe what I was hearing. All my life, I had been raised to stand up for myself, to speak my mind. But now, it felt like my mother was snuffing out that fire within me. I felt the weight of lost independence and a fading sense of self."You know what? I don't care about tradition! I refuse to marry some aging Alpha just because he holds that title!" My outburst echoed through the room, a wave of frustration and anger bursting forth.My mother's eyes widened in
The world spun as I opened my eyes, my head throbbing with a dull ache. My surroundings were unfamiliar, and it took me a moment to realize that I was in a hotel room. As I sat up in bed, I noticed a note and a large sum of money on the nightstand. "I had a good night, whore," the note read. My anger boiled over at the insult, but I couldn't even remember who I had been with. The memory loss only added to the humiliation and guilt that I felt.I quickly showered, trying to wash away the shame and regret that clung to my skin. As I got dressed and left the hotel, I was met with the cold rain and gray skies of the morning. It was as if the weather was reflecting my mood.When I arrived home, Nicholas, the Alpha King, was waiting for me. My heart clenched at the sight of him. I didn't want to marry him, but my parents had arranged the union without my consent. "I don't want to marry you, Alpha Nicholas," I said, glaring at him. "I don't care what you want," he replied, his voice cold a
I woke up in a sterile hospital room, my head throbbing with pain. The harsh fluorescent lights burned my eyes as I tried to adjust to my surroundings. I felt a weight on my chest and looked down to see a drip connected to my arm. The medicine flowed into my body, numbing the pain and making me feel drowsy.As I looked around the room, I saw my parents sitting in plastic chairs by the window. Their faces were stern and unforgiving, and I knew that I was in trouble. They started scolding me the moment they saw me wake up."How could you do this to us, honey?" my mother exclaimed, her voice filled with disappointment. "Getting pregnant out of wedlock? What will people say?"I felt my heart sink. I had always been the perfect daughter, following all the rules and making my parents proud. But now, I had messed everything up by getting pregnant by the Alpha's son, and I wanted to marry him."How could you blow a golden opportunity to get married to Alpha Apollo!? I heard he just came back
Tracy showed up at my house unannounced, surprising me as I was packing my things. "Hey girl, you need some help?" she asked, grabbing one of my suitcases. I nodded gratefully, feeling a lump form in my throat.As she carried my luggage to her car and put it in the back truck, she tried to lighten the mood. "This is like a road trip, except we're not coming back," she joked. I forced a smile, but the reality of the situation was weighing heavily on me.Tracy noticed my mood and put a comforting hand on my shoulder. "Hey, it's gonna be okay," she said. "You're always welcome in my house, no matter what your parents say."I felt grateful for her words, but also a little guilty for imposing on her. "Are you sure it’s, okay?" I asked. "I don't want to be a burden."Tracy shook her head. "You're not a burden, Zel. You're my friend, and I'm here for you." Her kindness made me feel a little better, but I couldn't shake off the sadness of leaving everything behind.As we drove away, I couldn'
As I walked along the deserted road, my thoughts consumed me, and I found myself cursing my mate and the moon goddess for all my misfortunes. After spending a month at the shelter, I was kicked out when Apollo found out I was there. My baby bump was huge down and I was getting tired just walking. I had nowhere else to go, so I decided to go to my ex-boyfriend's place. I was lost in my thoughts and didn't realize I was walking in the middle of the road.I heard the sound of a car approaching, and before I could react, a man appeared out of nowhere, pulled me off the road, and saved my life. I was startled and turned to look at him, but his face was hidden in the shadows."What the hell were you doing in the middle of the road?" he asked, his voice sharp. That was when I realized it was Alpha Ryder.I tried to compose myself before answering. "I...I was just walking. I had nowhere else to go."The Ryder’s tone softened when he saw my distress. "Get in my car. I'll take you somewhere saf
Apollo’s POVI released Ryder, who was pinned to the wall with my claws digging into his skin. He coughed up blood and glared at me, but I ignored him. My attention was on Zelda, who was packing her clothes as I had instructed her. I couldn't bear to look at her. She had become pregnant by another man and was pretending to be innocent. I despised women like her.I had been trying to break her, to make her beg for my forgiveness on her knees, just like her parents wanted. But she was still resisting. She was afraid of me, and that pleased me.Without wasting a moment, I took out my car keys and grabbed her hand tightly. She fought back, but a single glare from me was enough to make her calm down. The warriors and servants watched as we left the packhouse. They respected me, for I was the soon-to-be alpha of my pack.We entered the garage, and I dragged her towards my car. She struggled, but I held her firmly. I opened the door and pushed her inside. She fell onto the seat, and I got in
The person in the car stepped out, revealing himself to be Ryder. He was holding Zelda's bag, the one I didn't let her take with her. I had hoped she would beg me to take her back, but now I couldn't care less about her."Ryder, what the fuck are you doing here?" I asked impatiently.We faced each other in the middle of the road, our anger simmering. I could sense that Ryder was looking for a fight, but I knew I was stronger than him, so I tried to reason with him."What are you doing here, Ryder?" I asked calmly.He stepped forward, his fists clenched at his sides. "Where is she, Apollo?" he growled.I held up my hand to try and placate him. "She's safe," I said. "I put her in a hotel."Ryder narrowed his eyes. "How do I know you're telling the truth?" he demanded.I shrugged. "Believe what you want," I said. "But it's true. I bought her everything she needs so she doesn't need that bag you're holding."Ryder looked down at the bag in his hand, then back up at me. "You're a heartless
Zelda’s POVIt was a dark, cold night, and my baby bump was causing me pain as my unborn child kicked furiously within my stomach. I was hungry and thirsty, but I had nothing to eat or drink. Apollo had thrown me out of Ryder's packhouse without even letting me take my things or have a shower. I waited for him to come back, hoping he would realize his mistake, but I was losing hope.I tried my best not to cry, but my eyes filled with tears anyway. I sat on the cold floor for what felt like an hour, but I didn't know what time it was. The cars on the road had slowed down, and there weren't many anymore. My legs ached.Suddenly, a passerby stopped in front of me. He was a man, and he extended a sandwich to me, thinking I was a street beggar. I felt awful, but I accepted it. As soon as I did, other pack members started walking past me, throwing money at me. Before I knew it, I had unintentionally become a pregnant street beggar who had been neglected by my mate and family.The sandwich w
AUTHOR’S POV THREE YEARS LATER, The bright sun beat down mercilessly on the crowd gathered outside the grand university hall on graduation day. The excitement was evident in the sea of students, all dressed in wine and yellow graduation gowns. August, Lucas, Henry, and Sophia were eagerly anticipating receiving their well-earned certificates. However, there was a problem – Violet was nowhere to be found. August scanned the mass of graduates, sweat trickling down his forehead. Worry began to gnaw at him as their turn to receive their certificates neared. Lucas and Henry stood behind him, equally concerned, searching for their missing friend. Sophia, the most anxious among them, couldn't stand still. She paced back and forth, her face etched with worry. "Where the heck is Violet?" August muttered, his fists clenched. "We can't leave without her." Lucas's frustration was evident in his voice. "I have looked everywhere. She is not in the crowd or the hall. I don't understand. What c
AUTHOR’S POVEzra's heart pounded in his chest as he raced across the field on his horse, his eyes fixed on the struggling figure of his father on the ground. The sickening sound of fists striking flesh reverberated in his ears. As he drew nearer, he could see the twisted smiles on Apollo and Ryder's faces as they relished in the torment they were inflicting on his father."Enough!" Ezra's scream tore through the air, his voice quivering with anger. He lunged towards them, stopping his horse close by and then leaping down to rush to them."Stay away from my father!" he yelled, pushing Ryder forcefully, causing him to fall a few inches away."What the hell do you think you are doing, kid?" Apollo demanded in irritation. But Ezra paid him no attention and rushed to his father's side. He dropped to his knees beside James, who lay on the ground, his face pale and streaked with blood. James coughed violently but managed to meet Ezra's worried gaze."Kill... them," James choked out, blood t
AUTHOR’S POVSmoke and dust filled the air as the packs closed in on each other in the battlefield.

They shouted commands and pointed their swords toward James's pack, their warriors running on foot behind them, armed and resolute.

Alongside Apollo and Ryder, Zelda, Seth, and Amelia were also prepared for battle.On the opposing side, Alpha Ezra led the Stardust Runner pack on a dark plain, his blond hair blazing like fire.

AUTHOR’S POVThe morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the entwined bodies of Alpha James and his wife. Their heavy breaths filled the room, accompanied by the soft sound of kissing as they engaged in a passionate make-out session on their ruffled bed. Their hands explored each other's bodies, and their faces were locked in an obsessive kiss.James took the lead, gently pushing her onto the bed, poised to join her. However, the romantic moment was abruptly shattered by the sharp chime of his phone. He reluctantly pulled away from the kiss and made a move to get up, but she clung to his hand."Don't go, dear. Work can wait. It's been too long since we have had quality time together," she pleaded, her eyes filled with longing. He withdrew his hand from her grasp and got out of bed, completely naked.Reaching for his phone on the nightstand, he picked it up and unlocked it. His heart raced as a message appeared on the screen. It was from Alpha Apollo. James
AUTHOR’S POVViolet lay in her bed, her eyes wide open in the darkness, hooked on the ceiling. Sleep avoided her no matter how hard she tried. The thought of Sophia and Lucas, still trapped and possibly suffering in that room, weighed heavy on her heart."I just need to calm down and try to sleep," she whispered to herself, closing her eyes tightly. But Sophia's distressed face kept flashing in her mind, and she couldn't shake the worry.She slipped out of bed and tiptoed out of her room, determined to do something about the situation. In the quiet hallway, she stood, taking in the eerie moonlight shadows on the walls. Barefoot, she proceeded carefully towards the room where her friends were held, determined to be as quiet as possible.As she approached the door of the room, her heart raced, but she pushed aside her fears and gently pushed the door open. Peering inside, she froze at the scene before her.In the room, Alpha James and Ezra were both present. Ezra was helping Sophia drin
AUTHOR’S POV The scorching sun beat down on an open field in the Grim pack away from the packhouse. Apollo and Ryder stood side by side, their muscles glistening with sweat. Their warriors sparred with each other, their fake swords clashing in a rhythmic dance. Battle cries filled the air, echoing through the space. Apollo gracefully spun around his sparring partner, effortlessly evading the strikes coming his way. His partner grew tired, unable to match his Alpha's speed and strength. Ryder, too, was in the midst of an energetic training session with his partner, engaging in a series of fierce fights. They all paused, catching their breath. Apollo and Ryder made their way to the stands, where the maids had set up a refreshing spread of water under large umbrellas. The cold liquid quenched their dry throats as they drank from the bottles. Suddenly, the peaceful atmosphere shattered as multiple cars roared onto the field. Apollo narrowed his eyes and discarded his empty water bottl
AUTHOR’S POV Violet walked down the hallway, following the source of the noise. The sound grew louder with each step, and she stopped in front of the room from which it emanated. The room had a worn-looking door with a bit of dust on its surface. While she was aware that there were many seldom-used rooms in the packhouse, this one had never caught her attention. She leaned in, pressing her ear to the door, and shielded her face from the dust with her hand. Her heart raced as she heard muffled cries and struggles from within. Stepping back, she took a deep breath and, overcoming her hesitation, grabbed the grimy doorknob. With a swift motion, she flung the door open. As she entered the room, her eyes widened in shock. In the center of the dimly lit space, she saw Sophia and Lucas, both bound to chairs with their hands and mouths securely taped. Relief and fear flickered in their eyes as they noticed her presence. Rushing to Sophia's side, Violet gently removed the duct tape from he
AUTHOR’S POV Alpha Apollo entered the dimly lit bar, his mere presence sending a chill through the spines of the pack members who had already gathered there, engaged in drinks and conversations. Alpha Ryder and a group of their warriors approached him, each carrying bags of money and weapons. The two alphas found a corner table by the window, while the warriors settled at a nearby table with the clinking of their arsenal filling the air. Apollo's gaze swept over the curious pack members who were secretly observing them. "Have any of you never seen your Alpha in a bar before?" he asked loudly. The pack members quickly averted their gazes, returning to their own activities. Ryder leaned in and asked, "Should we order some beer while we wait?" Apollo's sharp gaze met Ryder's for a moment before he grunted in response. "We are here to retrieve our children, not to have fun. We must stay alert. I'm certain this is some sort of trap because James is taking too long to show up with our
AUTHOR’S POV The early morning sunlight bathed Apollo's office in a warm golden hue. He and Ryder stared intently at the large TV screen in the room, their eyes filled with anger as they watched their children tied to chairs, their small forms limp and unconscious, while James's menacing laughter echoed in the background. "What the hell have you done to our kids?" Apollo shouted, his voice seething with anger. James smirked and let out a chilling chuckle. "Oh, come on, Apollo. It's just a little game I have devised. You are not the only one skilled at kidnapping loved ones. In fact, I'm much better at it." Ryder's fists clenched in frustration. "What do you hope to achieve by kidnapping our children? Do you think this is fair? We had already decided to leave you alone because you are a sick bastard. You have crossed the line." James mockingly laughed. "Don't lie to me. I know you guys are planning a new war, and you have caused enough damage to my pack. I need more time to get my
