The offending warrior's legs trembled with fear as Alpha James prepared to throw the dagger."P-Please, Alpha, don't harm me. I didn't mean any disrespect. I was merely curious about your role in the upcoming battle. I believe the pack members would appreciate having a leader who can be present during the war," the warrior stammered nervously, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.Despite the warrior's pleas, Alpha James remained stubborn. With deadly accuracy, he hurled the dagger at the warrior, piercing the man's chest. The warrior's eyes widened, and he clutched the embedded dagger in agony. Blood flowed fro

Her slap resounded in the hallway, leaving students gasping in shock.Violet scowled in disgust and wiped her lips with the back of her hand.

AUTHOR’S POVOliver gritted his teeth in pain as Ezra threw him into a locker. His head collided with the metal surface, and he tumbled to the ground. Before he could recover, Ezra rushed over, grabbed his shirt, and forcefully made him sit up on the floor, their faces inches apart."I don't ever want to see you near my mate again. I thought I made it clear the last time we crossed paths. Maybe I should have dealt with you then," Ezra remarked, glaring at Oliver.Oliver brushed a strand of hair from his face and narrowed his eyes at Ezra. "Are you afraid I will steal her from you? I thought you..." Oliver couldn't finish his sentence as a sharp pain shot through his chest. Ezra let go of him, clutching his own chest in agony."Mate!" Hunter howled in agony and pain. "Mate in pain!"Ezra fought to suppress the pain in his chest and glared at Oliver. "I have marked Violet, she belongs to me. We are connected in ways you can't imagine. I don't know why you can still feel her pain but rej
AUTHOR’S POVThe dark, dimly lit mini bar in the packhouse was heavy with the scent of alcohol, and the low murmur of conversations blended with the clinking of glasses.Alpha James sat in his wheelchair, the dim lighting highlighting his face. His beta occupied the seat across from him, and the small table before them held an array of beer bottles.The beta poured beer into their glasses, which were filled with ice, and handed one to Alpha James. He accepted it and took a long, deliberate sip, feeling the burn of the alcohol as it coursed down his throat.His beta sighed, emptying his glass and placing it back on the table. He picked up the bottle and poured another drink into his glass as he spoke. "I know you have been having trouble sleeping because your wife is out there with those freaks.

AUTHOR’S POVAlpha Ryder's hand rested on the trigger, and he pointed the gun at James's wife's forehead. She couldn't see it, but she could feel the cold metal pressing against her skin."W-What is that?" she asked in a trembling tone."It's a gun, you old bitch! If you do anything stupid, I will blow your head off," Alpha Ryder threatened with a tone that left no room for argument.She chuckled and burst into laughter again, laughing harder this time, but she was trying to hide her pain by putting up a tough facade. She was saddened by the fact that her husband hadn't come to rescue her and didn't seem to care about her.Alpha Ryder gritted his teeth in anger and applied more pressure on the trigger. "I said shut up, lady, or I'm going to end you," he shouted."That's enough, you two. No one is killing anyone," Alpha Apollo said, his gaze fixed on Alpha Ryder. "I know you are angry because of her attitude, but don't mess things up for us. You promised to help me get my son, remember

His beta nodded and grasped the rope that bound Henry's hands together, using it to pull him toward Alpha Ryder.Alpha Ryder was smiling from ear to ear as Henry was hauled closer.

Ryder flinched in pain as Apollo grasped the blood-soaked cloth that was tied around his arm. Apollo brought out his claws and cut off the cloth, tossing it to the floor."Here, Alpha,"

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.

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

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

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
