Astrid’s POV

I chased after him despite my wobbly legs barely supporting me. He swiftly scooped up the crying child, but her wails grew louder upon seeing his furious expression and menacing fangs.

The toddler, perhaps around 3 or 4, fixed her gaze behind me, not on me, but on her lifeless mother.

“Shut up!” He shouted at her face, causing her to nearly leap from his grasp.

“Salem, please, don’t harm her. That child is innocent.”

Arching an eyebrow, he shook his head, his lengthy nails inching towards her delicate neck, poised to puncture her tender skin.

“But she might reveal everything, and I can’t take that risk.”

I was determined to prevent him from hurting this child, who had just witnessed her mother’s tragic demise. Yet, Salem’s madness had breached all boundaries; he was mentally and physically unbridled.

“You don’t have to hurt her. She’s so young, and I doubt she can speak or understand what happened here.”

He snorted and let out a crazed laugh, a true maniac in every sense.

Dang if Dominic rejects her and claims another, no way to continue reading the book. This plot about another woman is tiring and repetitive. Can just they be together and fight for their happiness.

    Alpha Dominic Knight's POV:"Fuck! " I felt a sharp pain in my chest and fell on the couch. It was unbearable and my wolf, Carden, howled with pain too. I knew what it was. Someone had been physical with my mate. Someone touched her! I clenched my jaw and closed my eyes. The anger took control over my mind and I didn't feel any pain now. 'Who is doing this? 'Carden roared. I shook my head angrily. Not knowing what to think of this whole situation. I slammed my fist into the wall, creating a hole at the front. I kicked the chairs and screamed out of frustration. I wanted to kill and end the pathetic life of that person. My mate! My Astrid! Someone touched her! It was so confusing. Why could we ever be happy? Why was our story so full of grief and separation? Soon the pain faded but my anger remained. I was still in denial that my Astrid was doing it on her own. No!

She was extremely uncomfortable around Salem and his voice alone was enough for her to cower away in fear.My wounds hurt me so badly that I had pleaded with him not to tie me up. I had to heal quickly, so I needed this silver out of my blood. Something had broken inside me.

But one thing that did not make any sense to me was how he called me his second chance mate. There was not a single chance that we would ever be mates.

"Oh, totally get it. Anyways, what do you think about this whole mess? I mean is Salem right about it? " She waited a few minutes and then turned her towards me as she was about to leave.

My innocent children had to suffer because I couldn't still find where their mother had been. I wandered off to my own room. To our room exactly. It was empty, and cold air made it's way through the open window. I didn't care about it. Nothing meant much to me. "Alpha, would you like to have a glass of water? " I found the maids standing with a tray of food. "No." "But Alpha you haven't touched your food since yesterday morning. " One of them insisted. I rubbed my eyes feeling the urge to sleep out of exhaustion getting on my head. "I just don't feel like eating anything. " "No, but you have to.

I didn't let any sound escape my mouth because it would bring their attention. Emma was sleeping peacefully and I had to make sure that she wouldn't wake up because that would scare her badly if she saw me in my wolf form.

I hated everything about this whole situation. "Relax. I am not spineless to use your kids against you. Yet… " She said. "You should stay away from them. And it's not a request. " I eyed her and she laughed, pulling her arms up in the air. "You intrigue me so much. Honestly, Astrid. " I gritted my teeth and growled loud enough to scare her. "Today, I am here to just remove that mark off you. " I grew protective of myself. It belonged to Alpha Dominic and we had chosen each other. "No! You cannot do that. " I shouted, a warning in my voice. "I can. " She whispered dangerously. Her lips moved as she casted some spell and a shining silver dagger came in her hand. Her eyes were hollow and devoid of any emotion as she stared at me. The sickness on her face made me tremble with fear and pain because I was jus

Her lifeless body was hidden behind the closet and her dead eyes stared at the ceiling. "What happened here? " I asked, infuriated by everything. "Alpha, we were just sitting here having a chat and then suddenly the wall had a black hole like door and a woman in black appeared out of nowhere. She used some magic from her fingers and Emma ran to save the babies as I screamed for help. But she… " The girl began sobbing hysterically. I didn't need to listen anymore.

I clawed my flesh and cried out of frustration when it didn't vanish. I helplessly lied down on the bed and the dark spots danced around my eyes. As I got my senses back, the anger filled my heart again. "Where is Emma? " I muttered. I shouted for them to come and give me the girl. I threw insults at Salem, banging the door of my room when I heard the footsteps of any person passing through the corridor. But no one paid any attention to my screams. I even pleaded with them to let me see her. At least for once. I had to make sure she was safe and knew that I would escape only with her! There was no way I was going to leave that little girl behind when I had seen how cruel Salem could become if provoked. "I will never marry you, Salem! " I screamed at the top of my lungs.

    Dante's POV:Azriel had felt her presence in the woods as shown as she had stepped her feet in there. I could also feel her pain and I had hurriedly gone to search her only to find her in chains. Even though, I should have hated her for accepting Kai as her mate, I didn't like how she was crying from the pain and Alpha Grayson and was hitting her. "Keep your mouth shut! He isn't your mate anymore. We need know that you are going to fu*k Kai sooner than later. " Alpha Grayson spat angrily. I felt my fists clenching at his words, "What are you exactly doing here, Aeryn? Is it a trap? "She shook her head, " No, Dante. I will never betray you.

Dante wasn't aware of his father's reality and his mother's suicide reason. If he would know, then I was sure he wouldn't be initiating a war against anyone. As a mate, I had to take the first step. I quietly made my way out of my room and ran to the corridor leading to Dante's chamber. It was extremely quiet there and I couldn't find anyone. Confusion dawned me and I went to the training ground to find him but he wasn't there either. The palace looked in a hurry, almost running guards everywhere around me. The environment didn't feel right. The air didn't seem comfortable. "What are you doing here? " I heard Alpha Kai behind me. I didn't like him around me for some reason because even though he knew that I had a made he was ready to be with me without any shame. "Nothing. Just looking for... " I hesitated.

I was sure there was something going on between Kai and Dominic. He had suddenly appointed him as the border controller for his pack and also was given high status in the training for young wolves. "Maybe he wants Aeryn to be with Kai. " Azriel hissed. I smashed the vase into pieces and crushed it with my boots. No way in hell was going to let any man take her from me. She was my mate, carrying my Mark and had promised me a child. And even after that, I was going to keep her with me. She wasn't related to Dominic and Astrid's crimes. They had even lost her when she was babu, indicating they never cared for their only daughter and instead adopted a dumb human girl to take her place. They were power hungry and could go to any limits to secure their pack and throne. Even if it meant, making Aeryn

I was Furious and sad to know that my own parents had decided to give me off to another man as if I was an object. They were blinded by power and rank of Alpha Kai. I should have known that being a princess meant to keep the family ties high by marrying into another powerful Clan. I was the most worthless girl in the whole Kingdom as compared to even the normal females in the Pack because of the reason that I didn't have my wolf yet. I heard a knock on the door and knew that it was mom but I was not going to talk to her until and unless she was ready to listen to me. But to my shock, I heard the lock turning in the door and both of my parents walked in with a key in their hands. Mom must have been crying because I could see her eyes were puffy and even my father was sad. They sat beside me on the bed and I turned my head to look away from them. Still, I fe

" Mrs. Harrison told us and I realised I was sitting with one of the best warriors in the entire packs. He nodded his head, " I am still your student and would like to train more young wolves so that they can join the team. " Mrs. Harrison was overjoyed and enthusiastically opened one of the thickest books I had ever seen. She flipped through pages after a while pages and finally settled on one of the main chapters. She fixed her glasses and licked her lips before starting the lesson. "In a small town nestled among the hills, there was a visionary human teacher named Mrs. Johnson. " She said, " She

By the time I was ready to go, it was already 7 AM and Emerald was waiting for me outside my room. She had brought the map of all the packs with her and we found a quiet corner in the school Garden so that she could tell me more about the ranking. The school Gates were still closed and we had around 40 minutes before the time the classes would start. "The North Packs are all under Alpha Dominic and these one marked in red are also ruled by him but they are having some sort of revolution because most of the Alphas want slavery to be legal. And Alpha Dominic is against the cruelty. " She said, running her finger along the lines on the map.

It was better that she hadn't told anyone else about it. "I am sorry. I shouldn't have done that. " I muttered. She rubbed her forehead, " I mean what if someone had seen you. This would have created a havoc in the pack. Most of them don't even know you have a mate. " " But mom, I have a mate and you know that. How can I pretend that he doesn't exist?
