AUTHOR’S POVHenry trembled behind a large curtain in the well-lit hallways, his heart pounding heavily in his chest, and his legs trembling with fear.Alpha James rolled his wheelchair past him without casting a glance in his direction, his beta and a warrior trailing closely behind."I think I may have spoiled Ezra too much," Alpha James remarked."No, Alpha, I believe you have done an excellent job with him. He is simply going through a phase," his beta reassured him.Henry cautiously separated the curtains, peering out when he could no longer hear their voices or the sounds of their footsteps. After ensuring the corridor was clear, he swiftly dashed to Ezra's room and entered. A gasp escaped him when he saw Ezra lying on the bed, his chest rising and falling.Hurrying to Ezra's side, he found Alpha Ezra staring at him with an indifferent expression as their eyes met."Shit! Can my day get any worse?" Ezra complained. "Don't tell me my father sent you to monitor me, because that's
AUTHOR’S POVMr. Ken's henchmen forcefully kicked open the door to the room where Violet was confined. They rushed inside, finding Violet lying almost lifeless on the floor."What's wrong with her?" Mr. Ken demanded as he arrived at the door.One of the henchmen hurried to Violet and placed a hand on her forehead. Her skin felt scorching hot, and her eyes remained shut. He carefully lifted her into his arms, gently tapping her face in an attempt to wake her, but she remained unconscious."Damn it! Call the doctor, you idiots! She is unconscious!" Mr. Ken barked at his henchmen. One of them swiftly exited the room, racing to summon medical help."Bring her out," Mr. Ken ordered the remaining henchman in the room. The henchman carefully lifted Violet from the floor and hurriedly carried her out of the room.Mr. Ken led the way, walking ahead of them to his own chamber. He swung open the door and the henchman gently placed Violet on the comfortable bed. The room was bathed in natural lig
AUTHOR’S POVSeated at the edge of his bed, Mr. Ken observed Violet as she sipped the tea the doctor had provided. She sat there with her fingers crossed around the mug, her head down, avoiding his gaze."How is the tea?" he inquired softly, but she remained silent, refusing to meet his eyes. Clearing his throat, he folded his hands in front of him. "I'm sorry for what my henchmen put you through. I have dismissed all of them for nearly causing your death. Believe me, I didn't bring you here to make you suffer," he said, his brow furrowed.Violet sighed, still savoring the sweet taste of the hot tea on her tongue and fighting back the tears that welled in her eyes. Her heart was shattered by the loss of her child, and she'd nearly died, all because of the people she had considered her family."If you want to be alone, I will leave," Mr. Ken offered, rising from the bed."Yes, I want to be alone," she murmured in a low voice. She couldn't numb the pain in her heart, and she felt like s
AUTHOR’S POVAlpha Ezra broke the kiss and gazed into Violet's eyes, his thumb gently caressing her soft lips. "Now, let's get out of here," he said, his attention briefly drawn to the floor. He chuckled when he saw Mr. Ken still struggling to reach for the knife on the ground, his face now blood red.Alpha Ezra sauntered over to the struggling man and crouched down beside him, a sinister smile playing on his lips as he picked up the knife from the floor. "It's no use now; I have the upper hand," he said, his smile growing wider."Help! Help! I'm in here! Help!" Mr. Ken shouted at the top of his lungs, blood oozing from his nose and mouth.Ezra clicked his tongue. "No one is available to help you. I may have used up the bullets in two rifles on their bodies. There is no way anyone would have escaped," he remarked. Violet gasped upon hearing this, sending shivers down her spine."Y-You killed a lot of henchmen because of me?" she asked slowly, her eyes fixed on him as he stood beside t
AUTHOR’S POVStill shirtless, with the night breeze caressing his chest, Alpha Ezra strode into the courtyard. He snorted disdainfully at the sight of two cars parked in the center.His steps halted as the door of one of the cars swung open, revealing Alpha Oliver. Oliver had a serious expression and squinted dark eyes. "Don't tell me you are half-naked because you just finished fucking my mate," Oliver commented as he approached Ezra.Ezra clenched his jaw in anger. "What are you doing here? And how did you find this place?" he demanded."I don't need to boast, but my pack's seer is one of the best in the world. He was able to trace my mate to this villa," Oliver explained, examining the interior design. "To be honest, this place is beautiful," he added.Ezra sighed in frustration and turned to leave. "As you can see, it's the middle of the night, and I need to sleep. I don't have time for chit-chat with someone like you," he said rudely, attempting to walk away. However, Oliver's vo
AUTHOR’S POVHenry placed his hand on the window frame and peered inside the kitchen. Alpha James stood at the middle counter, preparing a cup of coffee for himself, while his beta piled a plate with cookies.Henry concealed himself so that they couldn't spot his silhouette, supported by the morning sun that cast light into the kitchen."When is she coming?" Alpha James asked his beta.The beta removed a cookie from the plate. "What do you mean, Alpha? She is already here. She is on her way as we speak," he replied, taking a bite of the cookie. Confusion knitted Henry's brow; he had no clue whom they were talking about.Alpha James smiled and sipped his steaming coffee. "I can't fathom how Ezra managed to escape, but I suspect there must have been a traitor," he mused, making Henry gulp."Hmm," the beta hummed. "I agree, but I can't think of anyone willing to aid his escape, not even his mother or his servant, Henry," he added before Alpha James could respond.A warrior suddenly enter
AUTHOR’S POVThe morning sunlight streamed through the kitchen window, casting a warm glow on Alpha Ezra's chiseled physique, enhancing his already striking appearance. He stood confidently in front of the main counter, dressed in nothing but a white apron that did little to cover his well-defined muscles.Ezra's attention was fixed on the stove, where a sizzling pan held a perfectly fried egg. Just as he was about to turn off the gas, Violet, still in her pink nightwear, entered the kitchen. She stopped at the doorway, her gaze locked onto Ezra's attractive body. Her eyes widened in admiration, and her parted lips in surprise.Unaware of her presence, Ezra accurately arranged two glasses of coffee, two plates of omelets, and six slices of bread on a tray resting on the counter. He wiped his hands on the apron, preparing to leave with the tray when he noticed her.A captivating smile graced his lips as their eyes met. "Good morning, beautiful," he greeted in a seductive, low tone. "Ho
AUTHOR’S POVAlpha Ezra stepped out of the car and held the door, waiting for Violet to join him. She was still seated inside, clearly feeling tired from the long drive."Come on, get out," he finally said, seeing her anxious look. She fixed her gaze on him and muffled a yawn, using her hand to cover her mouth as she stumbled out of the car. She nearly collided with him as he closed the door.The warrior in the driver's seat lowered the car's window to address Ezra. "Head back to the Villa and keep me informed of the situation there. I hope you have my number," Ezra instructed."Yes, Alpha," the warrior replied sharply."Good. Don't reveal our location to anyone, not even Henry. I don't trust him one bit. He can't keep his mouth shut. Although I'm surprised it took him this long to blow my cover this time. You can't have peace of mind when you share secrets with someone like him, so be cautious," Ezra advised."I will, Alpha. Take care of yourself and the lady," the warrior responded,

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.

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.

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
