The water was freezing and it shocked me back to reality.I gasped for air, my clothes soaking wet and my heart racing. I looked up at Hektor with confusion and frustration, trying to make sense of his sudden change in behavior.“Why did you do that?” I asked but Hektor remained mum.

Hektor’s POVI entered the dining hall, with a very high ceiling and fancy hanging lights that made the room look warm and cozy.

The servers were very attentive and kept bringing me more food whenever I needed it.I was enjoying the delicious taste of my food when a really tempting smell caught my attention. It was Shea's scent - my mate. It made me feel excited and nervous at the same time, but before I could fully understand what was happening, the aroma disappeared.

Shea’s POVI was pulled out of my peaceful slumber by the gentle voice of the maid as she called out my name. Her words seeped into my subconscious, gradually rousing me from my deep sleep."Wake up, Shea," she said, and I could feel my eyes slowly opening."Hmm?" I groaned, my voice still heavy with drowsiness. I rubbed my eyes sleepily."Please, Shea, get up," the maid implored, a hint of urgency creeping into her tone. "The young master has summoned you."Hearing those words, I couldn't help but feel a jolt of excitement mixed with anxiety. Was Hektor finally ready to acknowledge the bond between us?

What made the pain unbearable was seeing Hektor's cold, emotionless face as if he didn't care about our mateship at all.I tried to hold back my tears, but they streamed down my face like a waterfall. I felt numb and empty inside. The one person I thought I could count on had betrayed me, and it felt like my whole world was crumbling down around me.I wanted to scream and lash out, but I couldn't find the words.

Shea’s POVI wandered aimlessly, my heart heavy with the weight of Hektor's betrayal. As I trudged through the forest, my thoughts turned to Amelia. She was the only one who could offer the solace I desperately needed.I made my way to the edge of the woods where Amelia's shabby hut stood, and my trembling hand knocked on the rickety wooden door. When she opened it, my emotions took over, and tears streamed down my face.“Oh, Amelia!” I exclaimed as I surged forward to give her a hug. She was startled, but her motherly warmth enveloped me like a soothing balm.“What’s wrong, darling?” she asked, her gentle voice breaking through my sobs. I couldn't bear to utter Hektor's name, but I poured my heart out to her, telling her everything.“My mate…he didn’t want me.

Hektor’s POVHer once lively and vibrant eyes were now swollen and red, her cheeks wet with tears. The sound of her uneven breaths filled the room as she struggled to compose herself.I couldn't help but notice the way her long hair, usually so sleek and shiny, now stuck to her face in tangled strands, as if mirroring the chaos within her. Her delicate frame seemed smaller somehow as if the weight of her pain had compressed her into a ball of misery.The room was quiet except for the sound of her weeping, and I could feel the heaviness of regret pressing down on me.

The thrill of seeing Shea hurt had clouded my judgment, and now I was left with a hollow feeling of emptiness.As I watched her leave, her form disappearing into the night, I knew I had to make things right. But how could I possibly fix the damage I had caused? The guilt gnawed at me, and I realized that no amount of revenge could ever make up for the

Shea's POV"Where the hell is your father, Bradley! He swore to be here with me always, but where is he?!" I vented at my firstborn, clutching my belly. It had grown so big, resembling a watermelon that I had swallowed whole. It wasn't surprising, considering I was carrying Hektor's twins."Calm down, Mommy! Daddy would be here any moment. I am sure he is on his way," he answered. "He is right, Shea. Come on. Let me help you deliver your twins. My grandsons are ready to come out," my mother, Elora, encouraged as I shifted my attention to her.I gritted my teeth while I endured the throbbing pain in my stomach. My twins wanted to come out in the world, but I wouldn't let them until their father was by my side. When I delivered Bradley, Hektor was not on my side.

Shea’s POVI live as a rogue now, far from the princess life I once knew in the Royal Pack. I approached our simple shelter and smelled the aroma of roasted herbs in the air.

I knelt down, letting the game fall from my shoulder, and smiled at my little boy.He looked at me intently and reached out to touch my shoulder. "You're really strong, Mommy," he said in awe. I ruffled his hair in return, making him pout. I glanced at Vlad, my eyes filled with gratitude.
Hektor's POVI can’t believe that five years have flown by…I stand on the balcony of my luxurious chamber, gazing at the vast territory of the Royal Pack.

Shea’s POVA whole week had slipped by, like sand through my fingers.The Royal Pack had finally reached an agreement of peace with White Fang Castle. It turned out that Yamir was nothing more than a pawn, a victim of Ashley's cunning lies. Dad also acknowledged his sacrifice in saving Mom so he showed mercy and granted them a pardon.

Worry and curiosity mingled within me, compelling me to ask about their unexpected presence."Why are you here?" I asked, my voice trembling slightly.
