Dominic’s POV

It had been two weeks since Elora disappeared without a trace. And until now, I haven’t received any news about her.

As the days went by, life was slowly drifting away from me. I couldn’t eat, couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t even focus on my duties as the Alpha King. In times like this, I was thankful for my Beta, Hunter. He was such a reliable second-in-command that I didn’t have to worry much about the welfare of the Royal Pack while I was dealing with Elora’s disappearance.

But apart from these, I also have to juggle my mother and Ashley’s pressure toward marriage. Mom constantly convinced me to shift my attention to Ashley and persuaded me to give up searching for my mate. But I couldn’t do just that. In my heart, I knew that she was still alive. As long as I didn’t see her dead body, I would cling to the hope that I would still find her breathing.

I closed my eyes, remembering her face and feisty attitude. The act made me chuckle, as the vivid memory of our first en

    Elora’s POV Today was a very special day. After days of isolation inside my room in the infirmary, the pack doctor already cleared me for discharge. Though my wounds were not healed a hundred percent, my body could already endure sparring and training sessions. Hence, I was ready to join Samuel and the rest of his men in training. I was looking forward to this day. In my mind, this would be the first step in making myself stronger, which would make me a suitable Luna of the Royal Pack. I chose to wear a black sports bra and tight leggings accentuating my body curves. I braided my hair in a long simple braid and did some stretching. I made sure that my body would not hurt this much after this today’s task, and it was also for avoiding other external injuries I might get from it later. Better to be prepared than sorry. I was grinning the whole time as I marched toward the training ground. As expected, the place was already filled with warriors, men and women alike. Some of them alrea

    Elora’s POVIf not for the man standing in front of me, I would easily have mistaken this pack to be the place of my birth. The feeling was so homey that I forgot that I was only here temporarily.This pack has been my home for a month now. I knew every mile-high peak and heavy boulder within the area, thanks to my constant stroll with my brother and his mate. The cascading waterfall and heavily forested slopes were the ultimate addition to this ten-thousand-acre paradise, which was a great way to enhance my running and hunting skills. Adding to Jenna’s training expertise in hand-to-hand combat, I was really enjoying my time here. “You really surprised us with your fighting skills, Elora. I mean, look at you now. You’ve come a long way,” Fritz exclaimed. He clapped his hands with so much pride after I defeated his mate Jenna in sparring for the first time. “Your lady here was a great teacher. I owed everything I learned from her,” I answered back while looking at Jenna with gratitud

    Dominic’s POV“How was your trip?”Hunter looked at me with an apologetic look. At that moment, I almost knew what answer would come out of his mouth,“I am sorry, Dominic, but they know nothing.”I took a breath full of disappointment and leaned my body on the backrest of my seat. We’ve searched every nearby pack along the region in hope of finding Elora but the results were futile. Nobody had seen her. The last pack that we’ve been to, the Raven Pack, killed every ounce of hope we had in finding my mate when they said they knew nothing.I was tired of hearing the same thing all over again but I couldn’t stop now. I had to find Elora. I needed her by my side.“By the way, I received some reports from the trackers assigned in distributing the wedding invitations. All of the packs on the list accepted the invite, including the Wild Pack of the West.”I looked at Hunter, amused by what I heard. “You mean the elusive Jackstone Pack?”“You got it right,” Hunter said, nodding. “I, too, was

    Dominic’s POVI found myself gazing outside my window observing the omegas who were busy decorating the packhouse. I took a deep breath. This was really happening. Everything was set. The venue was ready. As customary to a werewolf wedding, everything would happen under the light of a full moon. The string of lights hanging on some make-shift lamp posts made it look like tiny stars that went down to the ground to give us some light. I’d say the team responsible for the wedding decoration, under Hunter’s supervision, really did a great job. The omegas who took care of the reception made a good job of taking full advantage of the natural splendor surrounding us. The sans tablecloths, the bare wood, and the vases of lush eucalyptus perfectly blend with the scenery, practically growing to the surrounding nature of the Royal Pack. After all, it was the wedding of the Alpha King of the continent. Extravagant should be an understatement, right? Potted flowerless plants mimic the shrubbe

    Dominic’s POV The wedding procession had started. The guests were led to their seats as the wedding party headed down the aisle. Little kids carrying baskets of flowers, followed by my mother, headed the procession. Hunter and I followed her. When I reached the end of the altar, I scanned the whole place. In a perfect world, this would have been a perfect set up for my wedding with Elora. I smiled bitterly remembering my mate. If only she was here, then I didn’t have to feel empty as I was feeling now. I must have spaced out for too long when I noticed Hunter’s head leaning on my ears, “Eyes straight, Dominic. Your bride is here.” I lifted my head and saw Ashley at the end of the aisle. Then, she began walking toward me. Her walk was slow but elegant. Holding a beautiful bouquet of flowers and under that white veil covering her face, was a blushing bride ready to be married to the love of her life. The only difference was the groom, which was me, was not feeling the same. Fina

    Elora’s POV“Touch this woman and blood will surely spill on your land.”The air surrounding us became heavy, with Samuel half-morphing and facing the royal guards. I had never seen him angry and hostile. It was hard to believe that the kind and unruffled alpha I knew was capable of being aggressive and combative like this. At some point, I felt scared. While I didn’t doubt Samuel’s ability to fight against the royal guards, I was more afraid of the consequences it could impose once he clashed with the Royal Cavern. After all, they were the biggest and strongest pack on the continent. Of course, Samuel couldn’t take them down on his own. And even with the help of Fritz, Jenna, and his other warriors, I didn't think he would stand a chance of defeating the royal pack and its allies. Bearing this in mind, I tapped his arms and smiled at him. “Please, Samuel. I am fine.”Samuel turned to my side, with his brows meeting in the middle. “Are you sure?”“Yes, and thank you for your concern

    Elora’s POV “B-Bruce? I-I d-didn’t know who it w-was.” Ashley’s words became disjointed. I could have sworn I saw her flicking from side to side, with her body fidgeting unconsciously. Was she trying to look for an escape route? “As I said, Bruce was the only person who could prove or disprove my claim. Summon him for questioning and you’ll know the truth.” “Shut up, you spinner of lies!” Ashley answered back, ready to attack me. Samuel was quick to block me while Dominic grabbed her by the waist and tried separating her from me. “Behave yourself! If you want to prove your innocence, then control yourself and let me talk to this Bruce.” “But, my king—” “No buts, Ashley. That’s an order!” And then, Dominic smiled at her meaningfully. “ Unless you’re trying to hide something…” “Of course, not!” Ashley objected. “Why would I—” “Then it’s settled,” Dominic said. “Guards! Bring me the omega in question right this instant!” “Right away, your highness,” the guards uttered in unis

    Elora’s POV After the whole commotion was over, the rest of the crowd was dispersed accordingly. Some were escorted back to their packs while others decided to wait until the sun comes up before leaving. Indeed, this was one heck of a night. I was walking Samuel to his temporary quarters. Our numbered steps echoed through the silent corridors. We both remained speechless, not uttering a single word until we reached his room. Samuel smiled at me as we stood in front of the door. “Thank you for accompanying me. You didn’t have to but thanks anyway,” he joked. I just nodded my head while chuckling, and once again, he became serious. “I think it’s about time that I open Jackstone pack to the world. I’ll try to connect with other packs and would focus on building external policies with them. Socializing isn’t our thing but I will do my best to change. Thanks to you, I realized I have a lot of things to improve.” I shoved his last statement, shaking my head and arms as a sign of dis

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.

Their faces were etched with surprise and disbelief, mirroring the emotions swirling within me."Mom! Dad! Ajax!" I called out, my voice trembling with joy and relief.

It was as if time had paused for a moment, allowing our eyes to meet and our souls to reconnect.

    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. Opening the creaky wooden door, I saw Vlad, illuminated by warm light from inside. He looked relieved and proud as he saw me, and his face brightened with a gentle smile."Welcome back, Shea!" Vlad exclaimed happily. "And look who's here to greet you!"Beside Vlad stood a young boy, his eyes wide with curiosity and excitement. My heart skipped a beat."Mommy!" I smiled widely, reaching out my hand to welcome him. Yes, I found out I was pregnant when I left the White Fang Castle five years ago and Bradley was the fruit of it. 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. It's like a beautiful painting, with lush greens, towering trees, and colorful wildflowers. Suddenly, I thought about the White Fang Castle.I shut my eyes, remembering it very vividly. The sun's warm rays bathed me in golden light as kept my eyes shut, recalling the grandeur of the castle. The library's scent of old books, the mouthwatering aroma of feasts in the dining hall, and the laughter that echoed through its corridors during celebrations. Memories of my childhood flooded my mind. Ah…the nostalgia it brings. I went back to my room and quickly put on my training clothes. Even though memories of the White Fang Castle still floated in my mind, I felt a sense of comfort in my new home, in the Royal Pack. I decided to focus on the present and leave the past behind as I started my day.Walking through the training ground, a fe

The nightmare had shattered my peace, bringing back haunting memories of my mother's treachery and the twisted acts she forced upon me and Pops. It left me hollow, like an endless abyss of despair.With a heavy sigh, I dragged myself to the bathroom, craving the soothing embrace of a warm shower. The hot water cascaded over me as if trying to wash away my worries and anxiety, even if just for a fleeting moment. But the putrid stench of my mother's lies clung to me, making me cringe in revulsion.Shit! When will this nightmare end? Once the water ceased its gentle flow, my thoughts drifted to Shea, my lovely mate. I rushed out of the bathroom, searching for her possible whereabouts inside our chambers but my search was futile. My mind convinced me she must be in the kitchen, so I rushed there, my heart pounding with a growing sense of dread. I need to see her. Her presence is like a vitamin that I

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. He even arranged for a proper burial for Yamir, a final act of respect. Mom, on the other hand, remained in a deep slumber, but we were relieved that she was safe and out of harm’s way. Inside the White Fang Castle, we gathered to discuss our uncertain future. We pondered what lay ahead now that Yamir and Ashley were gone, leaving Hektor in charge. While everyone was engrossed in the meeting, I found myself at my mother's bedside, replaying all the cruel words I had hurled at her. Guilt weighed heavily on my heart, and tears streamed down my face as I clutched her hand. I“Mom, can you hear me?” I asked. But she remained motionless, sleeping peacefully
