Author’s POVIt was—it was— Alpha Oliver. Ava blinked in disbelief. "A-Alpha Oliver, what are you doing here?" she asked, her voice trembling.Ava leaned in closer to him, her coy smile in place as she touched his left arm. "Are you perhaps here to see me?" She fluttered her lashes.His eyes burned with anger as he forcefully removed her hand. "I'm not here for you, you idiot. I came for Violet. Where is she?" he demanded, gripping the door frame as if to enter.Ava quickly blocked his path. "No, you can't come in!" she almost yelled. "S-She... she is not here; she is sleeping," she stammered, maintaining eye contact with him."What do you mean, she is sleeping? She is in pain; I can feel it. I must see her," he replied, pushing his way into the living room, only to be confronted by Violet's mother.She hurried to him, bowing her head in respect. "Welcome, Alpha. It's an honor to have you in our house," she said with a smile."Where is Violet? I need to see her," Alpha Oliver insisted
Author’s POVEzra halted in front of Sophia and swept his gaze over her body. Her face turned an even deeper shade of red as he extended the bouquet of flowers towards her."Are…these for me?" Sophia asked, her voice trailing off slightly as she accepted the flowers and breathed in their fragrance."Thank you," she beamed."You're welcome," Ezra replied, his tone flirtatious as he bit his lower lip in a seductive manner. The girls around him groaned in disappointment as they saw him handing the flowers to Sophia."Alright, ladies, show's over!" Henry yelled, waving his hand dismissively. The disappointed girls began to scatter to their respective departments.Sophia plucked a petal from the roses and was about to say something when Ezra cut in."I want us to be friends. I like your vibe, and I think you are a really cool girl," Ezra said with a friendly smile, although he was inwardly uncomfortable. This was his first attempt at making friends, and he wasn't enjoying it."Oh, really?
AUTHOR’S POVSophia stood near the bathroom door, looking back at her mate. She wiped her hands with the tissue and casually tossed it onto the floor before opening the door to leave."Wait, don't go!" he shouted, clutching his bleeding nose. "I didn't mean to harass you. I'm sorry," he apologized, blood still oozing from his nose.Sophia chuckled, a hint of a smile tugging at her lips. "Oh, you will be sorry," she replied in a sarcastic tone and walked out of the room, leaving her mate behind. Soon after, Ezra and Henry entered the bathroom."So, you are the mate," Ezra remarked as he clenched his fists together. Henry reached for the door, but a she-wolf was about to enter. He shooed her away and shut the bathroom door."Who are you people?" Sophia's mate asked, fear evident in his voice, as he tried to wash his hands in the sink."I don't do small talks," Ezra stated, lunging towards Sophia's mate. He landed a powerful punch across the face, sending him sprawling to the floor. Squa
AUTHOR’S POVViolet struggled as the man straddled her thighs. He pinned her hands above her head and looked into her eyes."Stop resisting; I promise you will enjoy this," he whispered before planting a wet kiss on her cheek. She cringed in disgust as he released her hands and got off the bed. He reached for his nightstand and retrieved something.Violet began to catch her breath as she glanced over her shoulder and saw him pulling out handcuffs from the drawer."No," she whimpered and scrambled off the bed, still feeling hot and vulnerable. Without wasting time and despite her dizziness, she made a run for the door. She grabbed the handle and opened it, only to find a henchman standing there with a gun in his hand. He offered a sheepish smile and pointed the gun at her head."Go back inside," he ordered."I can't, please, you need to let me go. I don't want any of this," Violet pleaded, her hands clasped together.The henchman peered over her shoulder into the room. "Mr. Ken, it se
AUTHOR’S POVViolet couldn't see, but she knew that the wolf was Ezra, and a smile tugged at her lips. The wolf stopped right in front of Mr. Ken. He was terrified, and he didn't dare move a muscle."W…who are you?" Mr. Ken asked in a terrified tone. From the weight and height of the wolf in his room, he knew it was an Alpha wolf, and he knew he was done for. The wolf had thick white fur and razor-sharp teeth."How dare you touch my mate?" Ezra asked in his beastly form. Mr. Ken struggled to breathe as he looked into Ezra's wolf's deadly golden eyes."Mate? I was told that she doesn't have a mate or even a wolf," Mr. Ken said with a frown."Well, she does," Ezra replied and let out a loud roar, revealing his poisonous fangs."Y-You don’t scare me," Mr. Arthur stuttered and jumped down from the bed. "She is mine now. I bought her. If she was your mate, you would have prevented her from getting sold in the first place," Mr. Arthur replied as he walked to the center of his room.Ezra's g
AUTHOR’S POVEzra firmly shook off her hand from his grip. "I'm sorry, I can't have sex with you. I have already gone out of my way to help you, and even taken a life for your sake. That's the extent of what I can do," he said, moving towards the door."Please!" Violet pleaded as she sat up on the bed. Despite her situation, a strong desire coursed through her. She was a virgin, but she found herself wanting him to take her virginity, even though they couldn't be together.Ezra glanced back at her. "I think you are out of your mind," he added, but something held him back. She was his mate, and she needed him. His wolf was adamant, pinning him to the spot and preventing him from leaving. He gritted his teeth in frustration. He didn't know how to have sex, but he couldn't abandon her. So, he turned to look at her on the bed.She looked stunning, her long black hair cascading over her shoulders, her large green eyes pleading with him to help her. His wolf whined in agreement. "I guess we
AUTHOR’S POVSunlight gently kissed Violet's face, and as she aroused, she felt something in her right hand. Her fingers closed around it, recognizing the texture of paper. Clutched in her hand was a letter, bearing the unmistakable scent of grapefruit, which she knew was Ezra's. She held it close and sat up in the bed.With anticipation, she opened the letter, and her eyes scanned its contents. It began: "Dear Violet, please distance yourself from me. I am not the right man for you, and I can never provide you with the protection you deserve. Please forget about last night and anything I may have said after our encounter; I didn't mean it. None of it was intentional. I am aware of your mother's mistreatment, and I had someone watch over you. Don't worry; I will arrange for a safe place for you to stay, away from her. Transportation will be arranged to pick you up. Get dressed."Violet's heart ached as she finished reading the letter, and she angrily tossed it to the floor. The detail
AUTHOR’S POVBubbles of water escaped from Ezra's mouth and nose as he submerged himself in the water of his bathtub. He resurfaced, taking in a breath of fresh air. His blood-red eyes scanned the bathroom, searching for his towel. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop thinking about the sex he had with Violet. He felt an overwhelming urge to mark her as his mate but was too embarrassed to face her in the morning. After all, it was his first time."I don't understand what's wrong with you. You wasted the perfect opportunity to mark her as our mate!" Hunter lamented."How could I have marked her? Having sex with her was a mistake!" Ezra muttered, more to himself than to Hunter, as he sat up in the bathtub, still unable to find his towel."Who did you have sex with, my son?" Ezra gasped in surprise, quickly covering his manhood with his hands as he saw his mother standing before him, holding his towel."W-What are you doing in here?" he stammered, his eyes wide.She clicked her
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. 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.

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
