Racheal's POVI groaned as I slowly opened my eyes, the throbbing pain in my head reminding me of the events that had transpired the night before. As my vision cleared, I saw Axel sitting beside me, his eyes filled with concern."Hey, how are you feeling?" he asked, reaching out to brush a strand of hair away from my face."I've been better," I replied, my voice hoarse from crying."I'm sorry, I never meant for you to get hurt," Axel said, his voice filled with regret.I scoffed, "Yeah, well, you did a pretty good job of it."Axel winced, "I know, and I'm truly sorry. But you have to understand, my wounds heal faster because I'm an Alpha. It's not an excuse, but it's the truth."I rolled my eyes, "Great, so not only are you a loving and caring Alpha, but you are also superhuman. Fantastic."Axel sighed, “ I want to make things right. I want to start over, with you. I want to build a family together."I felt my heart skip a beat at his words. "What about the baby?" I asked, my voice b
Alpha Axel's POVI walked into the dimly lit study where my Beta, Daniel, was waiting for me. He looked up as I entered, his expression serious."Daniel, have you heard anything about Ardolf?" I asked, getting straight to the point.Daniel shook his head. "He's still in the dungeons, Your Highness. Waiting for his fate to be decided."I frowned, feeling a pang of guilt at the thought of Ardolf locked away in a cell. "When do you think I should execute him?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Daniel hesitated before answering. "That is up to you, Your Highness. But I would advise you to make a decision soon. The longer he stays alive, the more dangerous he becomes."I nodded, knowing he was right. "I need to confirm something with my mother first," I said, turning to leave the room.I made my way to my mother's chambers and knocked on the door. She opened it, looking surprised to see me."Mother, I need to talk to you about something important," I said, stepping inside.She sat
Racheal's POVAs my mother's eyes filled with tears of joy, she embraced me tightly, unable to contain her excitement at finally finding her long-lost daughter after all these years."Oh, my dear child, I can't believe it's really you," my mother whispered, her voice choked with emotion.She held Davina close, feeling the weight of the moment sink in.Davina, with a warm smile, " Why don't we head to my house to meet my dad? I think he would want to meet you, too."My mother wiped away her tears, her face beaming with anticipation. "I would love that. Lead the way, dear."Just as we were about to leave, the door swung open, and Alpha Axel,entered the room. His presence commanded attention, and his piercing gaze locked onto me."May I have a word with you, in private?" Axel's voice was authoritative, yet tinged with a hint of affection.I glanced at my mother, who nodded understandingly. "Go on, dear. You will catch up with us. Take your time."I followed Axel out of the room, my heart
Racheal's POVLucien hesitated for a moment, then slowly rolled up his sleeves, revealing his bare arms. Sure enough, there it was the distinct birthmark on his elbow.A flicker of uncertainty crossed his face, but was quickly replaced by a stubborn defiance. "It's just a coincidence," he spat. "Anyone can have a birthmark. Now, leave before I call the police."Defeated and heartbroken, my mother took a step back, tears streaming down her face. "I can't believe this," she whispered. "I thought you were my husband, my Reynaldo."With those words, she turned and walked away, leaving behind a shattered illusion of what she thought her life was.As I stood outside with my mother, her tears streaming down her face, I couldn't help but feel a knot forming in my stomach. The words that spilled out of her mouth left me reeling with confusion and disbelief."I swear, Racheal, I could swear that Lucien is your father," my mother choked out between sobs. "But I watched him die, I saw his lifeles
Alpha Axel's POVAs I entered the dimly lit dungeon where Ardolf the usurper was being held captive, I could feel his eyes boring into me. His smirk only widened as he saw me approaching."You finally decided to come see me, Alpha," he sneered.I ignored his taunts and turned to the guards standing by. "Inject him with vervain," I ordered, knowing that the herb would hinder his ability to shift into his werewolf form.Ardolf winced as the needle pierced his skin, the effects of the vervain already starting to take hold. I took a seat opposite him, studying his face for any sign of weakness."Why do you want to take over my pack?" I demanded, my voice firm.Ardolf simply chuckled, his eyes glinting with malice. "Why not? Your pack is weak, and I am strong. It's only a matter of time before I claim what is rightfully mine."I felt a surge of anger at his arrogance. "You will never be Alpha of this pack, Ardolf. You are nothing but a traitor and a coward."He laughed, the sound grating o
Racheal's POVAs Racheal sat on the porch, anxiously waiting for beta Daniel to come pick her up, her mind was fraught with conflicting emotions. She knew her destination was uncertain, but she couldn't bear to stay with her mother any longer. The lies and deceit had become unbearable.Finally, she saw Daniel's car pulling up in front of the house. As he stepped out, his presence exuded a sense of confidence and strength that instantly put Racheal at ease. However, her moment of respite was interrupted when her mother stepped out onto the porch."Racheal, where are you going?" her mother asked, her voice filled with concern and confusion.Racheal looked at her mother and replied with a sense of determination, "I'm going where I belong, with my people, the werewolves. I can't stand living among witches and living the life of lies anymore."Her mother's eyes widened in shock. " What are you talking about Racheal?" she asked, her voice trembling.Ignoring her mother's question, Racheal
Third Person PovBeta Daniel drove quietly as Racheal reclined in the back seat. After a moment of silence, she spoke up. "Hey, do you mind if we make a detour for a bit?"Daniel glanced at her through the rearview mirror. "Of course . Where would you like to go?""Davina's. I just need to check in on her and her family," Racheal replied softly.Daniel nodded, making a turn and heading towards Davina's house. "Is everything alright, Rachael? You seem... unsettled."Racheal managed a small smile. "I'm fine, Beta Daniel. Thank you for asking."Daniel didn't seem completely convinced, but didn't push it. Instead, he pulled up to Davina's house and Racheal got out of the car. She took a deep breath before heading inside, the smell of luxury and opulence overwhelming her.Davina greeted her with a smile, embracing her tightly. "Racheal, thank God you're alright. Your father and I have been beside ourselves."Racheal pulled away, her expression pained. "I'm sorry for the drama, Davina. I
In the middle of the night, the moonlight filtering through the window of Axel's room, Racheal stirred in her sleep as a faint knocking echoed through the room. She blinked groggily, reaching out to check the time on the nightstand beside the bed. It read past two am.Racheal nudged Axel gently, her voice barely above a whisper, "Axel, did you hear that knocking?"Axel's eyes fluttered open, his brows furrowed in confusion. "Yeah, I did. Who could be knocking at this hour?"The knocking sounded again, more urgent this time, and both of them glanced towards the door. Without a word, Axel got out of bed and made his way to the door. As he opened it, a palace guard stood at attention in the hallway, his armor glinting in the dim light.The guard spoke with a grave tone, "Apologies for the disturbance, but your presence is urgently required in the infirmary, Alpha Axel."Axel exchanged a look with Racheal, concern etched on his face. "What happened? Is everything alright?"The guard nod
