ALPHA AXEL'S POV

I walked through the grand halls of the palace, my heart pounding in my chest. The weight of desperation hung heavy on my shoulders as I approached the Queen's chamber. I needed to beg for Rachael's return, to plead my case and convince her to overturn the council's decision. I couldn't bear the thought of losing her.

As I entered the chamber, the Queen sat , her presence commanding respect. I bowed before her, my voice trembling with emotion. "Your Majesty, I come before you today to beg for Rachael's return. She is innocent, the sins of her parents at not her fault, please i implore you to reconsider their decision."

The Queen regarded me with a mix of sympathy and resignation. "Axel, I understand your pain, but the council has already voted against Rachael. Their decision is final."

"Thank you for helping me, Axel," she said, her voice filled with gratitude.I smiled at her. "Of course, Athena. I couldn't leave you stranded. Is there anything else I can do for you?"She nodded, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Actually, I'm quite hungry. Do you think you could call on a maid to bring me some breakfast?""Absolutely," I replied, reaching for the bell on the bedside table. I rang it, and within moments, a maid appeared at the door.

The air smelled faintly of roses, but it was quickly overshadowed by the pain in my thigh as I tried to sit up."Ouch!" I exclaimed, feeling a sharp twinge in my leg. I lifted the duvet, revealing a bandage tightly wound around my injured thigh. "What happened? Why am I hurt?"As the throbbing pain in my head intensified, the memories flooded back. "I remember now. I was in the woods, and a woman shot me with an arrow!" I gasped, my voice filled with a mixture of fear and disbelief.I struggled to my feet and made my way to the locked doors. "Damn, they're locked!" I murmured, frustration seeping into my voice. The windows offered no escape either, as they too were locked shut. Through the glass, I could see the surrounding trees, confirming my suspicions that I was still stranded in the woods.As I paced around the room, my eyes fell upon a framed photograph resting on a nearby dresser.

The air was filled with laughter and the tantalizing aroma of grilled food wafted through the air from my window. As I watched, the door behind me creaked open, and I turned to see my mom entering the room."Hey, sweetie," she said with a warm smile. "Why don't you come downstairs and join us? The coven has been waiting for you."I hesitated, feeling a wave of shyness wash over me. "I don't know, Mom," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper. "I'm not sure they'll like me. I mean, I'm part wolf, and they're witches."Mom stepped closer, her eyes filled with understanding. "Darling, you are one of them. They've been waiting for you for years. You belong with the coven, just as much as you belong with the wolves."I sighed, my gaze dropping to the floor. "But Mom, I've always felt like an outsider.

I suppose I could join you," I replied, my voice uncertain.As we sat in the dining hall, Athena entered, apologizing for her lateness. I averted my eyes, unable to meet hers after what had transpired between us the night before. She greeted me, and I grumbled in response."Is everything alright?" Athena asked, concern evident in her voice. "Do you need to talk about anything?"I knew exactly what she was referring to, but I couldn't let the queen catch wind of the fact that I had spent the night with Athena.

Two weeks of unanswered calls and unanswered prayers. I had been drowning my sorrows in alcohol, my only companion in this lonely room.As I lay there, contemplating the meaninglessness of it all, a sudden burst of sunlight pierced the darkness and assaulted my eyes. I groaned and turned my face away, shielding my eyes from the intrusive brightness. I heard a rustling sound and a soft voice, which made me reluctantly open my eyes.There, standing by the window, was the queen herself. The queen, with her regal poise and a warm smile. She had always been supportive of me, reminding me of my responsibilities as an Alpha. She was the reason I had a pack to care for, to lead and protect. But lately, I had lost sight of that, lost in my own despair."Alpha," she said gently, her voice carrying the weight of concern. "
