AUTHOR’S POVOliver moved closer, his face inches from Olivia's, and locked eyes with her. "Hey! Watch your tongue!" he yelled.She smirked and moved even closer to him, their faces almost touching. While he was taller, their faces were close because he looked down at her. "What if I don't want to?" she raised an eyebrow.Sophia observed them from the bed, shaking her head. "Why would Mom and Dad fight over his mom? They have never done that, and it's not starting now," she started to say, but her words got stuck in her throat as loud screams and noise erupted from the hallway. From the sound of the voices, she could tell it was her parents."Well, this is a mess," she muttered, her hand over her face.Oliver managed to break free from the room and bumped into Olivia, trying to provoke her. She ignored him and turned to her sister. "Aren't you coming?" she asked."I, um, have a situation right now, but I promise I will join in a moment," Sophia replied, clutching her duvet."Okay," O
AUTHOR’S POVViolet's legs gave way beneath her, and she was about to fall when he caught her in his arms."Babe," he muttered, looking into her sad eyes. Her body was numb, and she could barely move or say anything."The cops said something happened between the two of them, and it seems Ava killed your mom and then killed herself," he explained, even though he didn't want to. "They also killed a hotel manager, but the cops don't know how he is connected to them, so they are asking the workers questions," he concluded."How... how did you know they were dead? They aren't famous," she managed to utter."I asked my father's spy to go out and look for them so you could take your revenge. He is very good, and he found out they moved to the Gianttooth pack, and they died," he said. As much as he wanted to say they deserved it, he couldn't bring himself to utter those words.Violet pursed her lips together, and her face turned bright red as she broke into tears, crying as if her life depend
AUTHOR’S POVAfter finishing her classes and the lunch break, Violet walked down the university hallway. She reached her locker, opened it, and retrieved her bag. It was a small pink designer handbag that could barely fit her books.As she turned to leave, she noticed a female student running toward her. She stood there, uncertain about the girl's approach, as she hadn't made any friends on campus, and the other girls seemed to dislike her. The student arrived, panting, and handed her a white envelope.Violet hesitated to take it, her suspicion evident. "What's inside? Who sent you?" she inquired, raising an eyebrow."It's from Alpha Ezra," the girl replied, extending the envelope once more. Violet sighed and accepted it. The girl quickly departed.Violet sniffed the envelope, finding it suspicious because it lacked any scent, especially Ezra's. She promptly opened it and read the message. "I don't want to go home just yet. There is a new hotel in town I have been wanting to visit wit
AUTHOR’S POVViolet gasped, her hand flying to her mouth in shock as she took in Jason's condition. He lay on the floor, unconscious, blood trickling from his head and staining his face."Please wake up," she pleaded, tapping his cheek repeatedly, all the while glancing nervously at the room's door. She could hear movements from inside and knew they needed to escape quickly.She delivered a sharp slap to Jason's face, causing him to groan and slowly open his eyes."Let's go, quickly," she urged, grabbing his right arm and helping him to his feet. They were on the verge of making their escape when Oliver stumbled out of the room, his eyes blazing red."Wait!" Oliver shouted. "Please don't leave. I promise I won't harm you or touch you without your consent anymore. I just want to talk to you... I'm quite drunk," he slurred, swaying in the doorway.But Jason took no chances, tugging Violet behind him and delivering a punch to Oliver's face. The blow sent Oliver staggering backward, his h
AUTHOR’S POVTension filled the air as Ezra stood in front of the Grim's pack gate, flanked by five warriors. He engaged in a fierce stare-down with one of the warriors, making an effort to contain his anger while contemplating the use of his super strength. The other warriors watched the standoff, some smoking and minding their own business.The intense gazes exchanged were intense. Ezra grunted, his blue eyes locked onto the warrior's with an intimidating stare. "Step aside while I'm asking nicely," he commanded.The warrior, older than Ezra, felt a hint of intimidation but attempted to maintain his composure. "What if I don't step aside?" he retorted, playfully tapping Ezra on the shoulder. "Come on, kid, it's way past your bedtime. Your parents must be worried sick about you," he taunted with a smirk, eliciting laughter from the other warriors.Ezra chuckled, clenching his fists tightly. "I will make you regret those words very quickly," he declared and delivered a powerful punch
AUTHOR’S POVApollo groaned as his eyes adjusted to the dimly lit living room, and his gaze settled on Ezra's back."You are Ezra, right?" Apollo asked slowly. It felt like a dream to him that Ezra was in his house in the middle of the night. He struggled to walk, still feeling the effects of the alcohol, and ambled toward Ezra."My son... You have finally returned to me," Apollo said, a wide smile on his face as he reached out his hand."What are you talking about, old man? How can I be your son? It seems you have had too much to drink," Ezra remarked, a look of disgust on his face.The nearby warrior rushed over to Apollo, steadying him as he wobbled. Apollo sighed and began to regain his senses."Why are you here?" he finally asked."I'm here to see Oliver. He is getting on my nerves and has become a real pain," Ezra vented. "You should have let me finish him when I had the chance," he added."No father would allow someone to kill their son. I have no idea what trouble he has cause
AUTHOR’S POV"What in the world?!?" Seth's voice resonated through the living room, causing them to break their kiss and sit up on the couch to face him."I can't believe you guys are making out in the living room. What if it was one of your kids who walked in on you? You guys are not teenagers anymore; it's time to start acting your age," Seth teased."Says the person who doesn't have a love life," Apollo retorted. Seth's face fell upon hearing those words from his alpha."You are not getting any younger yourself, Seth. It's time to find a bride and settle down unless you want me to find one for you," Apollo added. Zelda seized the opportunity to adjust her dress and hastily got up from the couch and ran up the stairs."I can't believe you said that to me in front of your wife," Seth grumbled as he moved to sit beside Apollo on the couch. "And don't even think about choosing a bride for me unless you want to act like your late father. But I doubt I will ever get married in this lifet
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

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 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
