AUTHOR’S POVViolet stood in front of the food table, sipping an expensive wine from a glass. The wine had a sweet yet slightly bitter taste that she didn't quite enjoy. It was her first time drinking, and she couldn't help but scrunch her face.She set the glass down on the table and reached for a chocolate cookie, savoring its sweetness as she bit into it. Her gaze wandered to Alpha Ezra, who was engaged in conversation with a group of alphas. While she couldn't hear their words, she could tell from Ezra's expression that he was having a good time.As she stood there, she overheard a pair of she-wolves gossiping nearby. Their comments were far from flattering."Just look at her, she doesn't even have a good figure, let alone a good body. Her legs are covered in scars," one of the she-wolves remarked with a judgmental tone."She is not even that beautiful, just a common face. I don't understand what he sees in her. She doesn't even have a wolf. Why would an alpha like himself want to
AUTHOR’S POVApollo's heart continued to race as he opened his email app and clicked on the message. He scrolled down the contents, his eyes fixed on the result at the bottom.He blinked in disbelief as he read it. The result was—was—negative. He withdrew his hand from the keyboard, mouth agape in shock."This... this can't be. He is my son. Why does it say he is not? Why? Why?!" he cried out, gripping his hair and shouting in a way that made it seem like he might lose his mind."This can't be right," he mumbled, stumbling out of his chair. He left his office and returned to his bedroom.Apollo picked up his phone from the nightstand and dialed the doctor's number. It rang several times, but the doctor didn't answer."Call me when you see this call," he left a voice message and dialed Seth's number. Seth picked up on the second ring."What does the result say?" Seth inquired. Apollo's mouth quivered as he attempted to relay the result, but no words appeared. His mind was spinning out
AUTHOR’S POVAlpha Apollo slowly withdrew his hand from Henry's neck and offered a nervous smile as both men kept their attention on Zelda. She observed them with suspicion, carefully retrieving her phone from the floor without breaking eye contact."Honey, I can explain, it's not what you think. I was—" he began, but she cut him off."What do you mean it's not what I think? I literally saw you trying to choke him to death. Why would you want to do something like that to your son?" Her voice wavered with emotion.Shaking her head in disbelief, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. "H-How could you try to k-kill?" She couldn't finish her sentence as her legs gave way, leaving her feeling dizzy. Her head spun, and she could hardly see as she collapsed to the floor."Zelda!" Alpha Apollo cried out as he rushed to her side on the floor, his gaze locked on her."What are we going to do? She shouldn't have come in here," Henry questioned, standing behind him, his legs still shaking, h
AUTHOR’S POV"I heard a lot of screaming; what happened?" Zelda asked as Apollo walked over to her, sat on the edge of the bed, and tried to take her hand."What screams?" he asked, pretending to be unaware. "There are no screams here. It's just you and me."She pulled her hand away, shooting him an angry glare. "Where is Ezra?" she asked, searching the room.Apollo rolled his eyes, realizing that she wanted to see Ezra more than him, which made him contemplate what Sophia had said. "He went out for a while, but he will be back," he replied.She groaned and touched her head, wincing. "Tell me what you were thinking when you wrapped your hands around your son's neck," she gestured.He sighed, avoiding her gaze and keeping his thoughts private. "Well, I threatened to harm him because I caught him trying to communicate with Alpha James last night. He doesn't fully trust us yet, and he might be trying to sabotage us. We can't be too trusting," he muttered, feeling uneasy about deceiving h
AUTHOR’S POV"Have you found her?" Apollo asked, scanning the warriors who were still bowing their heads, but there was no sign of Olivia.Seth's expression became somber. "No, we still haven't found her; all the leads led to dead ends," Seth replied.Apollo's heart sank as he sank deeper into the couch. It had been days since he last saw his daughter, and he was consumed by worry and guilt for not knowing what was happening with his children."Don't worry, Alpha, we are going out later tonight, and we won't rest until we find her and bring her back safely to you," Seth assured him."I will send some of my warriors to assist you. I can only imagine what your Alpha and Luna are going through," Alpha Ryder chimed in, pouring himself another drink.Seth turned to the warriors, and they raised their heads to look at him. "You all can go and spend some time with your families, and we will be leaving at 6 pm," he told them.Meanwhile, Oliver and a blonde-haired girl burst into the house, en
Olivia clutched Hazel's phone to prevent her from making the call. "Please, don't call my parents," she pleaded.Hazel gave her a skeptical look. "Why not? If you don't want me to call them, you will have to talk to me," she insisted.Olivia hesitated, her grip still firm on the phone."Are you ready to speak now?" Hazel inquired, arching an eyebrow."I... I don't want to," Olivia's voice trembled, and she struggled to find the words. "I..." She mumbled and then broke down into tears.Hazel's heart went out to the distressed girl. She had no clue what was tormenting Olivia, but she could see the pain in her eyes. So, she gently pried the phone from Olivia's grasp and pulled her into a comforting embrace.Olivia whimpered, trying to pull away, but Hazel held her firmly, providing a shoulder to cry on. Olivia stopped resisting and sobbed in Hazel's arms."It's going to be alright, darling. Just let it out," Hazel reassured her in a soothing tone, her hands stroking Olivia's hair tenderl
AUTHOR’S POV Mrs. Matthew began taking short, shallow breaths as she gazed at her angry daughter. "Honey, why would you want to kill your own mother? After all I have done for you? If this is some kind of joke, please stop it because it's not funny," she said weakly. Ava let out a bitter laugh, still pointing the gun at her. "I'm not playing games, you deceitful bitch. I have had enough of your schemes. I'm tired of being your puppet. You are not my mother; you are my enemy, an enemy who's been out to get me. I can't believe I trusted you..." Ava fought back tears. "I trusted you with my life, I trusted you with my son, but what did you do? You betrayed me and stabbed me in the back. I want to send you to where you belong so you won't harm anyone else." Ava said and tightened her finger on the trigger. Mrs. Matthew's eyes welled up with tears as she clutched the briefcase tightly and began to cry. "Please, Ava, don't kill me. I have done all of this for your future, and—" Ava inte
AUTHOR’S POVAmelia clicked her tongue and stood before Oliver, locking her gaze with his. She didn't hold back as she delivered a tight slap across his face.Oliver groaned in pain, his hand reaching for his stinging cheek. "What was that for?!?" he yelled."Don't raise your voice. I'm your mother, and I can do as I please," she replied firmly. "I slapped you to bring you back to your senses because it seems like you have lost them. Forget about that omega and reject her. I don't want you to become the alpha of my father's old pack. I want you to be the alpha of this pack, as it's the most successful in the world and the largest in terms of population."She took his face in her hands, her touch softer now, as she stroked his cheek. "I want the best for you, my son, and I know you want the best for me," she said. Then, she withdrew her hand, turned toward the door, and began walking out.But Oliver's words stopped her in her tracks. "I can't reject her, even if I wanted to. She is wol
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.

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 POVThe morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the entwined bodies of Alpha James and his wife.

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.

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.

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
