ALEXANDER'S POVThe dim lighting of the club did nothing to ease the tension simmering in my chest. I had been here since the incident back at the packhouse, but my mind kept circling back to that one moment, that one sight I couldn’t shake. My pulse quickened with the memory, twisting deeper into my chest like a knife. It had been hours, but the image of her—Miss Gift, as everyone called her now—walking away with Alphonce still haunted me.The way he had pulled her close, protective, possessive even—what the hell was going on? My gut churned with an unrelenting mixture of jealousy and confusion. I couldn’t ignore the questions flooding my mind.Who was Alphonce to her? Why was he so protective?And more importantly, would she stay behind for my pups’ birthday in two weeks, or would she walk away, indifferent to the plea I hadn’t even voiced yet? I gritted my teeth, clenching my fists until my knuckles turned white.“Dammit!” The curse left my lips like a growl, frustration surging th
ALEXANDER'S POV The sight before me was staggering—a moment I never thought I’d witness again. After all these years, there she was, my little wolf, alive and impossibly beautiful. Her face was flushed, her lips parted slightly, and her breathing came in shallow gasps. That familiar hand, now matured with time, was stroking between her legs in her beautiful little garden that had fitted me perfectly all those years ago. Her fingers worked in a rhythm she’d clearly perfected for her own pleasure. Her other hand teased her nipples, sending shivers through her body, as if her skin couldn’t contain the heat she radiated. It felt wrong to look, but I couldn’t stop. Goddess, how could anyone tear their eyes away from something so precious? Even after everything, after being told she was dead, here she was—alive, vulnerable, and desperate. A painful knot of guilt and lust twisted in my chest as I watched her, caught between the desire to touch her and the understanding that something was
ALEXANDER'S POV“You don’t have to ask twice—once is enough for a beauty like you,” I murmured, unable to resist what I felt any longer. I wanted her. I needed her. I yearned for her, and absolutely nothing could stop the desire I had for the little wolf in my arms.She was an Omega when she left, but here she was, beautiful, intelligent, and strong. Now, I realized I hadn't been wrong to trust my instincts. Somehow, I just knew this was the same miss Gift, despite her now-different hair colour.“Aah, please don’t make me wait!” she moaned, her hands trailing down between her legs. Her cheeks were flushed, and she lay back on the bed, turning her head slightly as she shyly reached out to pull me closer."Be patient, beauty. All beautiful things come with patience." My voice was firm but laced with longing as I hovered over her.Gosh, I missed this so much. I wanted her, and yet deep down, I knew I shouldn’t do this. She’d been poisoned; she wasn’t herself. I knew I should leave, let h
DANIELA POVI jolted my eyes open, disturbed by the voices in the background. The pain in my lower body was excruciating, but the commotion made it impossible to rest. Suddenly, I heard the newborns crying on their small beds beside me, and all the pain vanished. I sat up alert on the hospital bed."Who are you? W-what are you doing?" I was flabbergasted by the sight of two masculine men, each bending closer to one of the twins."I am talking to you! What do you think you are doing?" My heart started to throb in my chest, and my voice grew louder. The sweat that had reduced after my struggle to push the babies returned, worry evident all over my face as the two men ignored me completely.One of them took one of the babies, and that was enough for me. I got up from the bed despite the pain. 'Our pups!' my wolf shouted inside me, whimpering and making it hard for me to stay calm."Put him down! Why are you taking him?" I shouted, fear and confusion overwhelming me as I grasped the bed’s
My eyes were glued to the biggest and most beautiful packhouse in front of me. I knew I was risking my very existence, but I just couldn't let them take my pups away.'Are we doing the right thing?' I mind-linked my wolf Elena, who had been wiggling inside me since Beta Lucas and the soon-to-be Luna, Laura, took our pups.'We are. We are here for our pups. We can't stay away from them,' she answered, and I found the courage to continue.The pain of giving birth was still excruciating, but I had to come and demand my kids. They were mine, and they didn't have the right to take them away. My heart started to race in my chest, sweat broke free down my forehead, and my body began to shake as I remembered that I wasn't dealing with just anyone but the Alpha of the Perl Pack—our Alpha. And who was I? An Omega who had just had a one-night stand with him unknowingly.Gritting my teeth, trying to maintain composure as my heart thumped harder than before, I moved my trembling legs forward. Wei
ALEXANDER POVI stared at her as she was taken away, and my heart sank. I didn’t understand why, but I felt a deep pain knowing she was being sent to a mental hospital. The very thought drove me to the brink of insanity. She was the mother of my newborns, and that made me weak. I wanted to protect her, to take her in my arms and comfort her, maybe even take her like I did nine months ago.“Fuck! You’re insane,” I cursed internally, fighting against my wolf. The damn wolf wouldn’t give me peace, not after Daniela was taken away.“You know you can’t shame your family. You can’t admit you had a one-night stand with an Omega. You can’t admit that, right?” I tried to convince Ronald, my wolf, but he kept on wiggling inside me, making it hard to concentrate.“She’s not our mate. Why are you fighting for her?”“I don’t know, but I feel she should be.”“Keep dreaming. We can’t have an Omega as our mate. That’s why we had to get rid of her after she gave birth.” I tried to reason with him, but
DANIELA POV"Open the door! You need to open the door!" I banged on the door forcefully, desperate to escape this dungeon of a hospital. "I'm not mentally ill! Please let me out. I need to go back to my babies!" I screamed again and again, but no one came. Defeated, I turned to face the others in the room, sliding to the floor and leaning against the door in despair.It had been three days since I was wrongly accused of being mentally ill and thrown into this mental hospital. My life had changed completely since I arrived here. Being in a mental hospital was not something I ever expected, especially not after giving birth to my two adorable babies. It was the least of my worries. But here I was, sleeping and eating with crazy people, sometimes doubting my own sanity.Did I really give birth recently, or was I indeed sick in the head? Was I imagining things? Hell no! How could I forget the fact that I struggled alone, doing hard labour just to survive and take care of my pregnancy? How
DANIELA POV"Are you alright?" A tall, well-built, handsome man in a blue suit asked as he walked beside me. I nodded, allowing him to hold my hand and help me navigate the crowded airport terminal. We had just descended the long stairs of the plane, and his assistance was appreciated."Thank you," I said sincerely, looking up at him and smiling while holding back the joyful tears that wanted to rush down behind my sunglasses. He gently pushed a strand of my brunette hair away from my face and tucked it behind my ear. Yes, I had changed my hair color, but that was a story for another day.It had been five years since I was last here. The weather, the surroundings, and the entire look of Biafra Airport hadn't changed much in all those years. But anyway, I didn't care. I would take care of what brought me here and then leave."Hey, why are you crying?" he asked, his voice filled with concern. Hell no! I hadn't realized I was crying. Quickly, I wiped the subconscious tears from my cheeks

DANIELA'S POVThe headlights of my car illuminated the parking lot as I pulled into a space, the bar looming in front of me like a bad memory waiting to unfold. This was the same place, the same damn place where everything had shifted. The one-night stand that turned into a twisted revelation, where the stranger I'd given myself to was none other than Alpha Alexander.A bitter smile tugged at the corner of my lips as my former friend's voice echoed in my mind, "You should try it. Having sex isn’t as bad as you think." If only she'd known how her advice would lead to my downfall.I stepped out of the car, slamming the door shut behind me with a force that matched my internal turmoil. Checking my watch, I saw it was already some minutes to nine. Time was slipping away, just like it had that night. But this time, I wasn't here for a casual drink or a reckless night of passion. I was here to face what this place had done to me.Squaring my shoulders, I walked toward the entrance where two
DANIELA'S POV“How long have you known Pearl Pack and the neighbouring packs, Miss Layla?” I asked, my voice smooth but with an undercurrent of urgency as I pressed the phone tighter against my ear. The other end crackled momentarily before the calm voice of my manager echoed back.“I’ve been here for five years, ma’am. So, I’ve known Pearl Pack for five years,” Layla replied. Her response made a small smile tug at the corners of my lips. Five years. That was exactly what I needed.“Is there something you wanted, ma’am?” she asked, her voice betraying a hint of impatience. I could picture her, probably shuffling through papers, expecting an answer, wondering why I had called at such an hour.“Yes, there is,” I replied, my grip tightening around the pen in my free hand. I glanced at my reflection in the mirror sitting atop the vanity, the soft lighting casting shadows across my face. The image staring back at me was calm, collected, but underneath, a storm was brewing. The events of ea
ALEXANDER'S POVI froze, my breath catching in my throat, disbelief spreading like ice through my veins. The sight before me was impossible, yet there it was. Alphonce—my twin brother, my blood—stood in the middle of the packhouse, the place we’d both grown up in. The same house our father had raised us before he passed, but for the past ten years, Alphonce hadn’t set foot here. We’d seen each other briefly at the airport that day, but he hadn’t once returned to this house, our home.But what shattered me more than his presence was the sight of my pups, one clutched in each of his hands. My future heir and heiress, caught up in whatever twisted game he was playing. Rage surged through me, burning in my chest like a wildfire. How could he? How could he involve my children in whatever vendetta he had against me?I turned, my eyes locking on Laura. Her lies echoed in my head. She’d claimed Miss Gift was the one who had kidnapped my pups, and I—foolishly—had believed her. I’d dragged Miss
DANIELA POVThe moment Alphonce appeared at the door with Nathaniel and Katherine in each side of his hands, the air shifted, thickening with tension. A suffocating silence fell over the room, every heartbeat amplifying in the stillness. The weight of unspoken words pressed down on everyone present. If a needle had dropped, it would have echoed like a gunshot.I froze where I stood, eyes fixed on Alphonce as disbelief flooded my senses. ‘He actually showed up,’ I thought, the sting of his last words still fresh. After everything, I didn’t expect him to come here. He should at least dropped the kids secretly earlier than coming here.Alexander stood stod still where he was, stiff and unreadable, though I knew better. His surprise was well-masked, but I could see it in the faint twitch of his jaw, the subtle way his hands clenched at his sides. Was he shocked that his brother had taken the children? Or had he realised he’d been blaming me for no reason?I glanced between the two brother
ALPHONCE'S POVMy fingers raked through my hair, frustration bubbling under the surface as I paced back and forth the length of my sizable but modern living room."Mr. Daddy's look-alike, why aren't we going home? Miss Gift said you would take us home." Katherine's voice, small but insistent, broke through the haze in my mind. Her wide, innocent eyes blinked up at me, and I felt a surge of irritation. But I couldn't snap at her—she was just a child, a kid who didn't deserve to bear the brunt of my anger. No matter how twisted my thoughts were, I wasn’t that kind of man. Crouching to her level, I forced a smile that didn’t quite reach my eyes. "Mr. Daddy's look-alike will take you home soon, don’t worry." The words tasted bitter, but the way her face lit up told me it was worth the effort. Each time I looked at her, I saw Gift in those features—her delicate nose, the way her lips curved into a smile. How could Alexander be so blind not to notice? Then again, I hadn’t noticed either u
DANIELA POV“What are you doing here? Who are you?” I screamed at the half dozen men who had just intruded on my personal table at the far end of the hotel. I had just come in to eat something and calm my nerves after what I had seen on the television, praying that Alphonce had managed to drop the kids off safely to avoid any harm while the man was already searching for them all over.I had just ordered a drink when the men appeared out of nowhere. “We are here to take you to our Alpha, Miss.” The one standing closest to me answered, his voice steady, and my heart sank in my chest. It began pounding as I sensed danger.‘It will be okay. Nothing to worry about,’ Elena, my wolf, intruded my thoughts, but I ignored her and stood up from my chair with a big smile on my face, trying to mask what I truly felt. Since I started my designing business, I had learned to mask my emotions well, which was one of the reasons I had succeeded. Now, I had many branches of work.“And if I may ask, why s
