DANIELA POV"Her name is Gift. She’s here to make your baby sister a beautiful princess dress for your upcoming birthday," Lura answered, and I felt a burning in my heart. My heart dropped as I gazed at the little boy in front of me. I wanted to wrap him in my arms, kiss his full cheeks, and run my hands through his dark hair, just like his sister’s. But I couldn't. All my babies were in front of me, yet they felt so far away.Holy shit! Would I survive this?'You need to calm down, Ela. You need to control yourself before they find out about us and chase us away from our pups permanently. Who knows what this heartless woman might do when she finds out we are back, that we didn’t die?' Elena's voice echoed in my head, and I sighed.She was right. I had to be careful. I couldn't risk being discovered. I had to do what I came here for and leave. Time would come—time to take back everything these heartless people took from me. I would avenge every pain they caused me.Clenching my teet
But instead of shouting and lashing out, I broke into a hard laugh, causing the man before me to gaze at me in confusion. "You are really something else, Alpha," I continued after the laughter subsided. He sighed, visibly frustrated."But anyway, I am so sorry to disappoint you because I am not who you think I am," I said, though internally, I was burning with fury. The urge to slap him multiple times surged within me, a desperate need to pour out all my anger from five years ago on him. Even knowing it wouldn't be enough, I craved any outlet for the rage simmering inside my heart."Could you guys be related? Because she looks just like you. Her scent is also all over you," he remarked, his observation making my shoulders tense. The urge to avert my gaze was strong, but this was the moment to ask the question that had been gnawing at me for so long."Why are you into this person? Who was she to you?" I blurted out. Alexander stepped back, his face falling. Sadness shadowed his demeano
"The hell are you doing in my room? And who gave you permission to get in?" I stopped at the door, feeling anger rise within me as I glared at the person standing comfortably by the window."Gift, you are...""Please, don't 'gift' me!" I shouted at him and spun toward the hallway. "Who allowed him in my—"Before I could finish, Alphonce was already behind me, pulling me inside the room while covering my mouth to prevent further shouting."Please, you need to listen to me. I can't stay away from you anymore." I pushed him away, freezing at his words."What? What are you even saying?" I ran my hands through my hair, trying to calm my racing heart. I didn’t know how to deal with these two men anymore. I had just come from Alexander's place and hadn’t even rested, and now Alphonce was on my throat. What did they want from me?Did they want to finish me?Well, at this point, I could tell they would succeed."Look at me, Gift." Alphonce cupped my cheeks, and despite my anger, I faced him. H
I must admit, despite having worked in the packhouse for so long, I still didn’t know much about the Alpha's family. As an Omega, I wasn't allowed to interact with them, let alone speak with them. All those years, I kept to myself, not wanting to get into trouble. But who would have guessed I’d end up having a one-night stand with the Alpha himself?Especially with teh rumours! I sighed, not wanting to think about that.And again, if Alexander knew who I was that night, he wouldn't have hesitated to strangle me alive. No Alpha wanted the shame of being associated with an Omega, especially one who was rumored to be the daughter of a prostitute. I bit my lower lip, trying to suppress my anger. It was hard to forget that.Well, I never knew my mother; she died when I was very young. All I knew was the whispers that she used to be a prostitute, or so the other pack members said. Because of these rumors, no one wanted to associate with me. I had been alone until a drastic change came.No
"I came here to warn you!" Her voice was full of anger, and I could sense something else there. Was that jealousy? Folding my arms across my chest, I smiled at her annoying her more."I don't know who directed you here or if you followed me, but stay the hell out of my way!" I shouted. Her cold face didn't change as she stared at me. I didn't give a damn about her. Besides, I wasn't the naive and timid girl I used to be five years ago. I was totally s different person, and Laura didn't have the right to snitch on me."You can lie as much as you want, but I know who you are." I froze at her words as my heart started pounding in my chest, but I quickly composed myself. No, she shouldn't know anything!She was just playing with me, right?"What are you trying to say?" I asked, and thankfully, my voice came out steady, hiding the turmoil inside. Good, fear was invisible anyway."What I am trying to say is this," Laura moved closer, now we were face-to-face, her eyes glaring at me, and I g
In less than five minutes, I was at my company's branch. The workers, who had been laughing and chatting, scrambled to their desks the moment they saw me. Their abrupt silence spoke volumes; they already knew who I was. Though I had never worked at this branch before, my online meetings with all the staff had ensured they recognised me. I smiled at them as I walked to my office on the twelfth floor.Settling into my chair, I picked up the office phone and summoned my manager. Glancing at the newspapers on my desk, I flinched when I saw my face on the front page."MISS BILLIONAIRE, MOTHER OF FASHION, MISS GIFT, VISITS PEARL PACK TO STITCH PRINCESS CATHERINE'S FIFTH BIRTHDAY DRESS." I hadn’t expected this. I smiled, but as I returned the newspaper to the table, something else caught my eye. I picked it up again."Is it true that our Alpha is into her, or is it just rumors?" read the headline below the main story. The article was accompanied by a picture of Alexander holding my hand at t
“No, I’m not crying, baby. I think something has entered my eye.” Realizing my mistake, I quickly wiped my eyes and turned to Nathaniel. “See, I’m okay now.” I smiled at him while leaning to her side.“Nathanie!” Oh, Alexander was still in the room! My face flushed at the thought of him overhearing Nathaniel.All three of us—Nathaniel, Katie who clung to my legs as if I might vanish, and I—turned to look at him. But I made sure not to make eye contact with him. I knew the effect he had on me.No matter how much I resented the feelings I had for this man, I couldn’t stop myself. Despite the pain he’d caused me in the past, something still lingered, and it was maddening. Why did I have to feel this way about a monster who separated me from my babies when they were newborns?Why?"Let Miss Gift do what she likes most when she sees you."What was he talking about? What was he trying to imply?Could it be that he still had the thoughts that I was Daniela?Well, I was but not the pathetic a
"Miss Gift!" Nathaniel's voice pulled me from my thoughts. I turned to my left and saw him shaking my hand, worry and fear etched on his young face. His eyes told me he had been trying to get my attention for a while.Poor child!My pups must have gone through a lot and their father was there but the man was dumb not to see what was happening to his pups.I nodded then leaned to his height."If you tell Daddy, he will punish Mummy, and if that happens, then Mummy will make our lives more miserable," Nathaniel said, wiping the tears from my eyes. His voice was steady, but the worry in his eyes was unmistakable.He was right. Even though I didn't care much about what Alexander thought of me, I had to consider the children. I might have made things worse for them. Alexander might punish Laura, but because she was an Alpha's daughter, he wouldn't abandon her. He'd dole out some punishment for her, but she'd come back to the kids angrier and more vengeful and who knew what she would do to
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
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 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
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
