Violet’s POV"What is that delightful aroma?" Alpha Ezra lifted his head from the menu, locking eyes with mine. My heart raced, my legs turning wobbly as his gaze seemed to penetrate my very being. A tingling sensation spread through me, and then his next words hit me like a shockwave."Mate!" I flinched, inadvertently taking a step back. Did I hear him correctly?"What did you say, Alpha?" the bodyguard asked, seeking clarification.Alpha Ezra's gaze remained fixed on me, causing me to avert my eyes, unable to meet his intense study."Nothing," he concluded, and I let out a breath I hadn't realized I was holding."I will have your finest steak, accompanied by your best wine," he stated his order, his alluring British accent adding to his charm."Take his order already!" The stern voice of Ezra's bodyguard sent a shiver down my spine.Collecting myself, I quickly noted down his order in my pad and turned to make my way to the kitchen. My thoughts raced, unable to comprehend the idea t
Author’s POVTwo days later,"I don't know what to do, Seth. What's your suggestion? It's been two days since I have seen my family. They have locked themselves in their rooms and refuse to come out. I'm getting worried," Apollo lamented, standing in the living room with Seth.Seth shot him an icy glare. "Honestly, you probably deserve the treatment you are getting," Seth retorted, making a move to leave."Seth, come on, man. You can't turn your back on me in a situation like this," Apollo pleaded, attempting to stop Seth from walking away."You called me a brother, but you didn't think to tell me about sleeping with Amelia. You claimed to love Zelda. You said you had changed, but can you really ever change?" Seth's eyes bore into Apollo's."Listen, it's a complicated story. I didn't intend to sleep with her. I was drunk, and things just happened. I can't even remember the details," Apollo explained, but Seth's anger remained evident, his arms crossed."We both know Amelia had feeling
Author’s POVThe arrival of January brought with it a bitter chill that cut through the remnants of holiday joy. High school resumed, burdening students with looming exams and social expectations.Amidst the morning rush, Ezra stuffed eggs and bacon into his mouth, eager to escape the dining table and the impending lectures from Alpha James."Son, you need to take this task seriously," James persisted while having breakfast beside his wife."I get it, Dad. I'm only doing this because of you. I came back from England to attend a local school filled with strangers I don't care to know," Ezra complained. "Why can't I just do things my way and break into their house to kill them?" he pondered."That's too risky. You will end up dead. I want you to establish a connection with their eldest daughter, gain her trust, and use that to enter their home and eliminate her parents," Alpha James explained.Ezra eyed him skeptically, grabbing an orange juice and downing it in one go. "You sure you're
Violet’s POV"You." Oliver's voice dripped with anger as his features twisted into a scowl. "What are you doing here? Are you following me?" he spat out, his tone harsh and accusing."No, I'm not following you. This is my class," I stammered, my voice quivering. He shot me a fierce glare, rising to his feet and carelessly stepping over the books he had been helping me collect."Stay away from me and never look at me again. And if you dare spread any rumors that I'm mated to someone like you, I will make sure you regret it," he warned me through the mind link before striding down the aisle to the back of the class, where two other guys awaited him.I held back tears, my heart heavy with his harsh words. I resumed picking up my scattered books, blinking back the moisture in my eyes.A friendly voice interrupted my thoughts, and I looked up to see our class teacher, Miss Evan, offering a sympathetic smile."Why was nobody helping you pick up your things from the floor?" Miss Evan chastis
Violet’s POV"Sophia! Wait up!" Alpha Lucas called out, running across the parking lot toward us. Sophia sat in the backseat of the car, the door wide open. I stood beside it, while her driver was at the wheel."Go away, Lucas. I don't want to talk to you," Sophia replied, unfazed by Lucas's presence. He reached us and nudged me aside to face Sophia directly."Come on, Soph, you can't keep giving me the silent treatment," Lucas urged, his brow creased in concern.Sophia let out a soft chuckle, fixing her gaze on him. "I don't want to be your friend anymore. You weren't there for me when I needed you most," she declared, signaling the driver to start the car."Wait, please, hear me out. I came to your party, I brought your favorite chocolate and the painting you have always wanted from me. But your father confiscated them and told me to leave," Lucas explained sincerely."That doesn't sound like my dad. He'd never do that," Sophia retorted, disbelief in her voice.Lucas sighed, his han
Violet’s POV"What are you waiting for? Reject me!" His voice was commanding, slicing through the air.Stepping back, I shook my head, my voice quivering. "I can't... I don't have a wolf," I cried out, my vulnerability laid bare."What do you mean you don't have a wolf? Is that even possible?" he asked, his brow arching in disbelief."Yes, it's possible. I'm a 21-year-old omega without a wolf," I explained, my words trying to bridge the gap between our realities."Damn it! Does that mean I'm stuck with you?" His voice turned icy, a sharp pain blossoming in my chest.The disgust and worry etched onto his face cut through me like a knife, and I instinctively took a step back."I-I thought you liked me, I thought you wanted to be with me. You have been protecting me," I stammered, my desperation making my words tumble out."I'm sorry if I unintentionally led you on. But I can't fall in love or have a partner," he said, his tone solid."Why don't you try?" My voice quivered, the raw emoti
Author’s POV"Dad, who are we waiting for? I hope it's not who I'm thinking," Sophia asked, her fork prepared for a meal.Apollo paid no attention to her query, the dining room doors swinging open to review Amelia and Oliver. All eyes in Apollo's family turned to them as they approached the table.Oliver settled beside Olivia, and Amelia took a seat next to Sophia, who focused intently on her plate."Thank you for joining us for dinner," Apollo greeted, his gaze fixed on Amelia."It's no big deal, Alpha. It's high time we started acting like a family," Amelia remarked."Don't kid yourself. We will never be family," Sophia retorted curtly. "Dad, I don't know why you invited them, but they have ruined dinner for me." She slammed her fork down and started to rise, but Apollo's stern voice stopped her."Quiet down, you spoiled brat, and sit like the rest!" Apollo's command rang through the room, and Sophia, grumbling, begrudgingly resumed her seat."As you all know, I recently discovered
Alpha Ezra’s POV "Ezra! Alpha, respond!" Henry's urgent voice resonated in my mind as I sped down the chilly night road, racing towards the pack's border. Before I could even finish getting dressed, Henry had already departed with a group of warriors. "What's happening? Talk to me!" I shouted, anxiety lacing my words. "I'm not sure, but the intruder is dangerous. He is incapacitating our warriors, knocking them out. It doesn't seem like he is here to kill," Henry's voice trembled as he explained. My frustration surged as I pressed the gas pedal harder, propelling my car toward the border with urgency. I slammed the brake as I reached the border, watching a lone figure battling our pack's warriors. He was not a force to be reckoned with, effortlessly overpowering them. The border gate, once intact, now lay broken. My father's pack was known for its calmness and small size; I couldn't fathom why anyone would provoke such hostility. Stepping out of the car, I saw Henry fighting wit
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 heavy breaths filled the room, accompanied by the soft sound of kissing as they engaged in a passionate make-out session on their ruffled bed. 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
