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
Alpha Ezra’s POV “Who could have inflicted such harm upon our mate? If I catch that bastard, I swear I'm going to kill them,” Hunter seethed within me. Fury clenched my fists as I observed the pack doctor tending to her on my bed. She remained unconscious, and exhaustion weighed heavily on me from hours of waiting. The doctor meticulously set a blue cast on Violet’s broken right arm, adjusting it while she rested peacefully. He rose from the bed and turned toward me. “How is she? Will she recover?” I inquired. “Yes, Alpha Ezra. However, her injuries are severe—numerous internal injuries. Her wolf seems too weak to heal her, and she has suffered a broken right hand. I have reset the bones; she should be on the mend with proper rest in the coming days,” the doctor explained, collecting his tools from my nightstand. He bowed respectfully. “I shall take my leave, Alpha.” “Wait,” I interjected, retrieving a bundle of money from a drawer beneath my stacks of currency. “Take this and
Violet’s POVPerched on the sleek black bike, I clung onto Ezra’s waist while the wind whipped through my hair, giving me a sense of déjà vu. Being this close to him felt both comforting and exhilarating; I didn't want to let go. The bike's speed slowed as we approached the school, eventually coming to a stop."Get off," he ordered, and I released my grip on his waist, removing my helmet. I searched his face for an explanation, a mix of emotions swirling within me as I got off.Confusion knit my brow as I asked, "What's wrong?"He averted his gaze, turning his head away from me. His words were blunt, void of emotion. "Just stay away from me."His declaration felt like a blow to my heart. It was bewildering; moments ago, his demeanor seemed caring, but now he was pushing me away again."But you said—" I began, only for him to accelerate the engine and speed away, leaving me alone in the school's parking lot. I swallowed hard, the lump in my throat refusing to go away.I headed towards
Author’s POVWithin the cover of night, Alpha James wheeled his chair into his room, his loyal beta at his side. The beta began closing the curtains, enveloping the room in darkness.James rose from his wheelchair, making his way to the nightstand. Opening the top drawer, he retrieved a letter from inside.“Are you absolutely sure it's Alpha Ryder who sent this letter to me? I made sure none of those assholes knew I was still breathing, let alone where I'm hiding. How the hell did he manage to find my pack?” James inquired, his gaze fixed on his beta.“I can't explain it, but we need to meet him and find out his intentions,” the beta suggested.“Fine, gather the warriors and ensure Ezra and his assistant are confined to their rooms,” Alpha James commanded, proceeding to his dressing room. He opened a cabinet and retrieved two handguns, ensuring the bullets were ready as he stashed them in his pockets.“Alpha, we are ready,” his beta declared, waiting outside the dressing room.“Let's
Author’s POV"I want you to hand over the kid you stole years ago," Alpha Ryder declared.Alpha James chuckled. "Well, that request is impossible to fulfill because he is my son now, and I am not giving him up to anybody," he replied, his beta groaning and clutching his chest as he stood behind him."He is not your son, he was never your son; he needs to be with his biological parents," Ryder replied. "I don't understand why a man as evil as you would want to raise someone else's child, and not just that, I know you will be instilling bad morals in him, because of how evil you are," Ryder added."I will take that as a compliment," James said as he turned his back on Ryder."I thought you wanted to talk about something important, but it seems you wanted to chit-chat about stupid shit," James replied as he started walking around the river, attempting to leave.Ryder retrieved his rifle from the car and fired two shots in Alpha James' direction. The bullets narrowly missed him and his be
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

They shouted commands and pointed their swords toward James's pack, their warriors running on foot behind them, armed and resolute.

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. 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. Peering inside, she froze at the scene before her.In the room, Alpha James and Ezra were both present. Ezra was helping Sophia drin
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
