Lucas POV

Staring at Enise's picture sitting proudly on my work table, I can't help but miss her, miss her smile ànd her tenderness.

I can't believe it's been five years. Five years ànd everytime I think about her at night, sleep helps me.

It's been five years of trying to pretend to be fine when deep down I know I'm nothing but fine.

If someone told me that I'd spend five years consumed by nothing but guilt, I'll not have agreed but here I am, a wreckage of who I used to be.

Every damn day, I have to wake up and fulfill my alpha duties ànd also take care of my daughter, our daughter. The only good thing my wife left for me.

Just thinking about my daughter ,Miracle makes me smile. She is the exact copy of her mother. From her beauty to her bubbly personality.

Seeing her reminds me of the grave mistake I committed against Enise.

Taking her daughter away from her and allowing Laura to drive her to her death.

They say that the hospital she was confined in burnt down leaving behind no survivors. In the first years, I didn't believe she was gone, that my Enise was dead but after waiting for her to come back to us, the reality started sinking in.

Enise was gone, never to return again.

They say that it was an accident but I have never believed it.

The cause, the evidence of the reason the fire broke out was easily identified and I believe that it was planted evidence.

But who can I blame? At first, I suspected Laura but then again, that night, she laid in bed, sick.

She could barely stand up, talk less about orchestrating such a big act.

A knock on my door forces me to snap out of my depressing thoughts and put the picture back in the drawer where I store all my memories.

"Come in" I order and watch as the door opens and the most beautiful girl I have ever seen steps inside, a bright smile lighting up her face.

"Daddy!" My little angel yells before running towards me. I squat and catch her in my arms before kissing her cheeks, the softness of her skin against my lips.

"Hi my little angel. Did you miss me?" I ask her, staring into her light blue eyes, the exact replica of her mother.

"Yes daddy, very much." She tells me. I smile down at her before putting her back on her feet and she takes a few steps back.

Lifting her in my arms, I settle on the couch ànd acknowledge my beta's preserve.

" Why did you come back so soon?" I àsked ànd Marcus shrugged.

" The doctor turned us down from picking her at the airport. She said she will arrive to sign the contract tomorrow." Marcus answered ànd I frowned.

She turned them down?

" Isn't she a foreigner? How would she navigate around?" I could not help but ask but the look on Marcus' face told me he was clueless.

" Alright, I'll just meet her at the hospital tomorrow." I said,

" Can I come to the hospital with you!" Miracle's sweet voice sounded as she stared at me with her cute doe-like eyes.

Seeing the anticipation in her eyes, I could not help but smile sadly.

" Unfortunately, you can't Miracle. You Know that you can't go out of the house consecutively for your own safety." I replied

" But daddy-"

" No buts, sweetie. It's for your own safety. Go play in your room and I'll send someone to get you for dinner later." I interrupted her.

Although reluctant, Miracle nodded before exiting the room.

Turning to Marcus, I gave him a questioning look.

" No news of her yet. It's like she vanished into thin air." Marcus replied, making me sigh.

" Do yóu think she hates me?" I àsked and he shrugged.

" I don't know. What I do know is that you did the right thing by telling Miracle about her real mother.

As much as Laura adored Miracle, the fact still remains that she didn't give birth to her.

Ànd the issue of not being my sister, maybe that pushed her even more to leave." Marcus replied.

Two years ago on my daughter's birthday, I had come clean to her about her biological mother.

Back then, things weren't going well between Laura and I but to be miracle's mother, she stayed by my side.

Maybe that triggered her from disappearing from our lives.

" About your sister, do yóu plan on finding her?" I àsked Marcus but he shook his head.

" It's been twenty five years, do yóu think it's possible to find her? Besides, you are busy with miracle's health, I need to be here to assist you in managing the pack."

I nodded in agreement.

The following day, I left the pack to the hospital after accompanying my daughter for breakfast.

The surgeon we hired for her upcoming surgery would be arriving to sign the contract.

She is said to be the best there is. I Just hope she can help Miracle with her illness.

Arriving at the hospital, I headed straight to the director's office where the contract would be signed.

" Alpha," director Trevor greeted me ànd I nodded as he ushered me to his office.

Looking around, I didn't spot anyone in the room making me frown.

" She is not here yet?" I àsked, glaring at the man who cowered back.

" She called to say she will be here in five minutes." He replied and as much as I was pissed to be kept waiting, I swallowed my annoyance ànd slumped on the seat, choosing to scroll through my phone.

Barely three minutes later, the door was pushed open and a sweet scent of jasmine mixed with lemon filled my nose.

Lifting my face, my phone slipped past my fingers and I stood up in a jerk.

" Enise!"

I thought that I was fully prepared but seeing him again in person reminded me of our terrible past. But he still looked undeniably gorgeous. His beautiful hazel green eyes that made him stand out at all times and that perfectly chiseled face, but that wasn't my focus so I distracted myself immediately. His eyes were wide and his lips slightly apart in shock. I can't lie, that reaction gave me the best satisfaction "Mr. Lucas, right?" I asked, totally ignoring his words as I walked up to him, my hands outstretched. He didn't take it, rather, he closed the gap between us and grabbed my shoulders "Enise" He called out again. His eyes going everywhere around my body, from my head to my toes "Enise" This time, it was a faint whisper "Um... Sir, you're making me uncomfortable. What are you talking about?. Who's Enise?. My name is Dr. Denise" I said to him, trying

She was staring at me with a mixture of joy and curiosity “Hi there little angel" I waved with a soft smile on my face. It seems like that was her cue to smile to. I saw her little cheeks burn red. She was shy“Oh come on Miracle, there's no need to be shy" I said to her, the smile not leaving my face “Come, come let me give you a hug. Maybe that would make you feel better and less shy?" I asked, my hands outstretched She walked to me and embraced me. Tears welled up in the corners of my eyes I inhaled her scent as discreetly as possible, I didn't want seem weird. I couldn't he

    *First Person's Perspective*~Enise~The moment I stepped into my bedroom, I couldn’t contain the excitement that had been building up inside me all day. A loud squeal escaped my lips as I grabbed my phone from the bedside table, eager to call Lucian and tell him the good news. The first phase of our plan had been a success. Lucas had agreed to the investment, and now things were set in motion.I quickly dialed Lucian’s number, my fingers trembling slightly with anticipation. It was hard to suppress the bubbling joy I felt. This was it. We were finally on our way to destroying everything Lucas had built, and I couldn’t help but relish the thought of it.Just as the phone started ringing, I heard a knock on my door. I froze, phone still in hand, my heart suddenly racing. Who could it be? The knock sounded deliberate—quiet, but firm—and I knew it wasn’t one of the staff.I turned the phone’s screen off and tucked it away in my pocket, trying to steady my breathing.

    *First Person's Perspective*~Enise~Weeks had passed since I moved into Lucas’s mansion, and with each day, I found myself settling in more. At first, it felt like a temporary arrangement, like something I had to do to keep up the charade. But now, it was different. Living here, spending time with Miracle, and being in a place where everything seemed calm—it almost felt normal. Peaceful, even.I’d grown to care for Miracle in a way I hadn’t expected. Don't get me wrong, I knew I loved her so much, I mean it only made sense right? She was my daughter. But the bond grew and it was very intense. Almost like I couldn't do without seeing her for a day. She was such a sweet girl, and the bond I had with her was undeniable. We spent hours together, playing games, reading books, and just talking. I knew I was missing so much time with her while I had been away, but I was here now, and I made sure to savor every moment.Lucas had become closer to me in the past few weeks. We’d shared more mom

    *First Person's Perspective*~Lucas~My fists clenched by my side as I paced back and forth in my office. Slade had crossed the line. I didn't care anymore about whatever twisted reason he had for what he was doing. If he wanted war, then he would get it. I had no intention of backing down now. Not when he hurt one of my own. Maybe I would have let shooting me slide, but this, I can never forgive this. I would make him pay dearly for it My pack had already been put through enough, and I wasn't going to let him use Dr Denise whom he was so interested in for whatever reason, I won't let him use her as an excuse to destroy my pack. To disrupt the peace I had fought so hard to maintain "I'm going to kill him," I muttered to myself, voice laced with venom. Marcus, who had been standing by the window, narrowed his eyes at me. "Slade's a problem, but I think you've got a bigger one right under your nose." Samson, sitting quietly across the room, simply grunted in agreement. I shot a gla
