AUTHOR’S POVIt was a new day, with the sun hanging high in the sky. As the school bell rang, Alpha Ezra stormed out of his car, eyes ablaze with anger. He tossed his bag toward Henry, who caught it with a grunt. The bag felt unusually heavy, as Ezra had stuffed it with large stones, a cruel prank aimed at tormenting Henry.Struggling to keep up with Ezra, Henry spoke, desperation in his voice. "Ezra, can we talk? We need to discuss this. You can't keep treating me like this and avoiding Violet forever."Ezra abruptly halted, fixing Henry with a cold glare before resuming his stride. "There is nothing to discuss, Henry. You betrayed me," he replied icily.The tense silence between them hung in the air as they approached the university gates. But before they could enter, a group of burly guys, their muscles straining against their uniforms, appeared seemingly out of nowhere, blocking their path.Alpha Ezra looked around as the group encircled him and Henry. Alpha Oliver stepped forward
AUTHOR’S POVThe university was abuzz with students rushing to their next class, desperately trying to make it on time. But Alpha Ezra couldn't bring himself to join them; he needed to see Violet, even if his father forbade it.Without wasting much time, he bolted out of the campus, slipping some cash to the gatekeeper when he tried to halt him. He made sure Henry wasn't tailing him before heading to his car. He swung the door open and settled into the driver's seat."Don't worry, man, you are doing the right thing," Hunter's voice resonated in his mind."I didn't ask for your opinion; I'm not thinking straight right now," he retorted, his heart pounding against his chest as he ignited the engine and navigated through the sun-soaked streets of the pack.Approaching the hospital building, he couldn't ignore the unusual number of black cars, similar to his, haphazardly parked around it, causing a commotion that hindered access to the hospital. He furrowed his brow in confusion, parked h
AUTHOR’S POVWithin the confines of a grand mansion, distinct from the one where Violet had previously been taken, a much larger and more opulent setting unfolded. Vigilant bodyguards stood watch throughout the vast expanse. An exquisite chandelier adorned the ceiling, bathing the room in a radiant glow.Violet knelt in the center of the room, her head bowed in deference. She had lost track of time, but it felt like hours had passed, and her body ached from maintaining this posture.The sound of resounding footsteps reached her ears, causing her to lift her head to identify the approaching figure. Mr. Ken advanced towards her, accompanied by a maid who carried a tray bearing a pill and a glass of water."Give it to her," Mr. Ken instructed the maid.The maid nodded and lowered the tray with a single hand, crouching down to Violet's level on the floor. "You must be thirsty. Take this pill and have some water. You will feel better," the maid said with a warm smile.Violet responded with
AUTHOR’S POVViolet narrowed her eyes as she recognized the visitor as Mrs. Ken. She entered the room, balancing a tray of food in her hands."I'm sorry," she murmured, her gaze filled with pity as she approached Violet on the floor. "I should have come to you sooner," she added softly.Violet struggled to hear her words; the tantalizing aroma of peanut and jelly sandwich clouded her senses. In no time, she found herself sitting up, fixated on the tray of food.Mrs. Ken noticed Violet's hunger and extended the tray to her. Without hesitation, Violet snatched it and began devouring the meal with her bare hands. She couldn't bring herself to refuse it; after three days without food, she was hungry, especially after the ordeal of her miscarriage.Mrs. Ken watched in silence, her expression unreadable. "I can't believe my husband and his henchmen are so irresponsible," she finally commented, her eyes scanning Violet's body and noticing the faint bloodstains on her pants.Violet paused, he
AUTHOR’S POV Sophia's heart raced, a relentless thud echoing in her chest as her personal driver pulled the car to a halt in front of Violet's house. She had been consumed with worry for days now. Violet hadn't been seen, and Oliver hadn't returned home since that ominous day. In a hurry, she exited the car and hurried to the front door. Knocking loudly and repeatedly ringing the doorbell, she waited anxiously for a response, but no one came to answer. Frowning, she rang the doorbell once more and stood there for a few minutes. She had a strange feeling that something was terribly wrong. She turned to her driver, who leaned against the car, attempting to light a cigarette with a lighter. "Hey, come over here. I think Violet might be inside; no one is answering the door," she called out to him. He furrowed his brow, slipping the cigarette and lighter back into his pocket, and approached her, his gaze fixed on the door. "Are you certain? We should have heard her voice by now if she
AUTHOR’S POVAlpha Apollo's face brightened upon hearing Oliver's request. This was the first time his son had turned to him for help, and he was determined not to disappoint him."What do you need?" he inquired calmly.Oliver hesitated briefly before replying, "My mate is missing, and she is in a lot of pain. I think her family had something to do with her disappearance.""What is her name? Do I know her?" Alpha Apollo inquired sharply.Oliver shook his head and answered, "You know her. Her name is Violet Matthews, she is Sophia is personal maid.""Oh, I see," Alpha Apollo acknowledged. He reached for his phone and swiftly dialed a series of numbers. "I will do everything in my power to find her, and even if it means I have to arrest her guardian, I promise I won't take this lightly."A warm smile spread across Alpha Oliver's face as he paced anxiously in front of his newfound father. This moment was overwhelming for him, as he had always wished for a protective father figure.After
AUTHOR’S POVIt was another scorching day, the sun hanging high in the sky. Alpha Ryder and Lucas approached the imposing gates of Apollo's packhouse. As they neared, they were met with the indifferent expressions of the warriors stationed at the entrance."Let us in. I must see Alpha Apollo," Alpha Ryder declared to one of the warriors. The warrior eyed Alpha Ryder up and down before letting out a dry chuckle."Well, well, long time no see, Alpha. You haven't changed much, if you ask me," the warrior remarked. "As much as I'm thrilled to see you after all these years, I can't allow entry. Your face is on the packhouse's ban list," he added.Ryder regarded him with solid confidence. "Enough of the bullshit. I have urgent matters to discuss with your alpha. Let me through," Ryder declared."Can I go in then?" Lucas chimed in, taking a step forward. However, the warrior firmly pushed him back by the shoulder."You won't be getting in either," the warrior snapped, signaling to another wa
AUTHOR’S POVLucas barged into Sophia's room when she refused to respond. Sophia sat at the edge of her bed, tears welling in her eyes, drinking a bottle of beer.Lucas shook his head in disbelief and rushed over. He attempted to wrest the bottle from her hand, but she clung to it, teeth gritted."Let go, you jerk," she muttered."What are you doing? Why are you drinking? Did you and Alpha Ezra have a fight?" he inquired, and she reluctantly released her grip on the bottle.He sighed as he set the bottle aside on her nightstand. "Tell me, did he break your heart? I might not be much of a fighter, but I will stand up for you," Lucas declared, fists clenched.Sophia eyed him with a sideways glance and climbed onto the bed, pulling the blanket up to her chest. "Just go, Lucas. I don't want to talk," she murmured.He approached the bed. "What do you mean you don't want to talk? We are best friends, remember? We tell each other everything," he reminded her and sat down, placing a hand on h
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. "I have looked everywhere. She is not in the crowd or the hall. I don't understand. What c
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. 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
