Diego has everything; he is a strong alpha leading one of the strongest packs on the continent, and he has a family that loves him unconditionally. However, no matter how many reasons he has, that unfortunate night never lets him be happy. He has tried to drown himself in work and exhaust himself in training to the extent that he was unable to move, but the pain he feels whenever glimpses of "that night" appear are the most agonizing moments of his life. To the world, he is "the hidden alpha," "the ruthless alpha," "the cruel alpha," but no one knows the truth behind those tags except his "addy" and her mate, "Ryan." Diego has a secret that he is unwilling to accept, and he will not reveal it to anyone, not even his mate (whom he has not found yet). Addy believes that once he finds his mate, his wounds will heal themselves automatically, but Diego dreads that moment because he knows that the fire burning inside him is enough to burn anyone who comes close to him. Arya is running...where? She doesn't know. She is running away from her past, her family, her reality, and her undeniable truth no matter how hard she tries. She has been running for five years now, and so far, she has even succeeded in getting away from their clutches, but she can't shake off the feeling that this will not be the case for much longer. However, there is one thing she is sure about: if she ever faces the situation where she is forced to live the life she lived for the first eighteen years of her life, she will kill herself. What will happen when fate throws these two broken souls together? Will their unhealed wounds ever heal?

I asked her, and she didn't say anything. "Don't you feel angry when you imagine someone else with me?" The way she clenched her fists, I already know her answer."That's why. I also can't even imagine you with someone else. I know that you will find someone else soon. I also know that you are unable to feel the bond as strongly as I feel because you are human. But I didn't want to regret my whole life that I sent my mate away from me because I was scared." She scrunched her eyebrows but didn't say anything."I have secrets, a lot of secrets. Those secrets are something that, even after years, I just learned to avoid and not fully accept them." Before I con
"I am listening, love," Ryder replied to Arya, and now I think it's time to interrupt their little game. "Buy something sizzling hot and spicy for me, and no bread, please. I am sick of eating bread every other day for a year now," her words and Ryder's expressions not only shocked me but also made me clasp my hand tightly around my mouth to refrain from laughing out loud. Ryder kept looking at her with monotonous expressions for a good few minutes when his big brother Jace decided to interrupt. "Why are you wasting your time when you already know she is a tough nut to crack? I am the one who trained her to not break in situations like these. She has already been tortured in training, and no one was ever able to break her until her mom was not the one... and now she is dead. We don't have any weapon to use against her." Arya didn't say anything; she just smirked at both of them, which, much to my amusement, didn't make either of them mad. "No, brother, none of you were able to under
I ran towards the graveyard but was unable to spot Arya or Ry. I mind-linked the warrior whom I had sent to drop Arya off at the borders, but he informed me that the Alpha King planned to drop her there by himself. I mind-linked Ry, and as soon as the connection was established, I instantly felt that something was off. "Ry, where are you?" I asked him. "I don't think you should come here," his statement made me more anxious than before. "Ry... if it's about Arya, then I am surely going to come there," I stated and walked towards the border. "Fine, just follow the directions I am mind-linking, don't let your scent and aura out, and be as silent as you can. Be cautious; I still don't know what these people are capable of... And yes," he stopped, which made me more anxious. "Keep your beast calm. If he surfaces, then we will lose a great opportunity to capture a very dangerous person," he informed me, and I followed his instructions without thinking twice. Obviously, Arya never falls
"You can't lie to me," his eyes turned emerald in color. "So, don't even try," he said, and though I was scared to the core, I still tried to hold my ground. I won't put myself in trouble until they know the exact thing, and they can only get this information from me. "What gave you that idea?" I asked him, trying to appear as calm as possible. "Listen, kid, I am the alpha king for a reason. I can hear your heartbeats; I can smell fear on you," he warned. "That's not fear, that's called sweat, and everyone sweats... I just sweat a lot," I told him with fake sass. He glared at me as if he could bury me six feet under the ground right then and there. I did my best not to look away from his eyes. "A liar with confidence like you is a disaster," he muttered, but I didn't say anything in response; I just kept looking into his eyes. After a while, a warrior approached us, baring his neck as soon as he reached us. He didn't even raise his gaze towards the alpha king. "You can go. I will
I groaned in pain as my whole body hurt like hell, and I was sure that my stupidity would result in ugly bruises all over my body by tomorrow. I expected people to come running when they heard me shrieking, but when none of them came, I realized that the werewolves obviously had soundproof doors. I really needed to think about all these things before doing stupid things. I groaned at my own stupidity. I decided to lie like this for a few minutes because after falling down the stairs, my head was spinning. God knows what else I have to do to correct the mistakes I've made in the past. Suddenly, I heard a bang from upstairs and the footsteps of a couple of people running. Despite my efforts, I finally gave up trying to stand up from the floor. "Arya," I heard Diego's voice calling for me. "Yeah," I shouted, and instantly saw him, along with the king and queen, running toward me. "What happened?" he asked me. Though he came running towards me, the pain I saw on his face made me reali
"Leave Dee out of all this, and I will see what I can do in this situation," Alpha King said to Federico, who took a deep breath. "I really wanted to take your help, but even after being the Alpha King, you can't help me, Alpha. You are not a Lycan," he stated, making me wonder what they are discussing. "We will never know until we try," Luna Queen said to the old man. Though I still can't understand what they are discussing, I can see that the matter is very serious. It would have been great if I could get popcorn while listening to all these exciting things. I sat on a nearby chair and folded my legs to make myself comfortable. "No, Addy, Ry... none of you are getting yourselves into this. You already have a lot to deal with," Diego interrupted. "Federico, none of us can help you," he said with authority. "Give us a bit of time to think about things. You can stay in the guest's room until then. Downstairs, the warriors are waiting for you. They will show you the place where you'l
I can hear the voices around me, but I am in so much pain that my brain is unable to process anything that anyone is saying. When I felt someone's hand on my shoulder, I shouted in panic, "Don't touch me, it hurts!" I shouted. I know that I am fine; I made sure not to get hurt, so why am I feeling so much pain? "Sedate her, Addy. Give her anesthesia," there is complete chaos around me, but Diego's voice is ringing loud and clear in my ears. What is happening? I feel my body being lifted up from the ground, and people are moving around me, but I am unable to understand anything. I am sitting above a silver wolf while someone is clutching me from behind. I can see a huge black wolf nearby, and on it, a wounded Diego is sitting while the old man is sitting behind Diego, clutching him tightly. There is surely something wrong with me, there are no silver wolves in this world. The last thing I remember is Diego's face, which looks sad while tears are falling from his eyes. "Diego..." I mu
Arya’s POV - "These girls will make me mad someday," he said, while I could clearly see him getting panicked. He instantly turned towards me and placed his hands on my shoulders. "Go to the hospital and get yourself checked. I will be back soon," he told me, and without waiting for my reply, he jumped out of the window. I wanted to shout behind him to take me with him too, but he was too fast. Within seconds, I couldn't even see him in the woods. "Maybe I could have helped," I mumbled. I didn't think our meeting would be like this, for sure. When I came back, he was so good with me. For once, I really thought that he wanted me to stay here with him. But then in the morning, he himself told me that I could go once I was healthy. I sat on the nearby chair and took a deep breath. "Stop thinking all this, Arya," I said to myself, but I still felt terrible about Diego's lack of interest in me. "Being with Diego was never possible in the first place. It is good that he clarified his disin
Throughout the night, I kept gazing at Arya's peacefully sleeping features. I noticed how she would occasionally smile in her sleep, how her nose twitched, and the adorable way she would itch her face when her hair touched it. She mumbled some coherent things with a slight frown, and she slept with her mouth wide open. I was so engrossed in admiring her that the entire night slipped away, and I still felt as if I had just arrived. When she furrowed her brow and partially opened her eyes, I knew she would wake up soon. So, I sat casually and waited for her. Gradually, she woke up, and the first thing she did was groan in pain. Before I could understand why she was groaning, she mumbled, "Oww, my back..." I rolled my eyes. Obviously, this is a chair, not a bed. What was she thinking when she slept here? "damn, I am unable to feel my butt," I stifled my laugh. "Expected it to be comfortable?" she jerked up and straightened her clothes when she heard my voice. "When did you arrive?" she
