Hade’s Pov

Immediately, Anita push me off her body and struggled up quickly, making way to run out but then, I reached out, grabbing her arm before she could escape.

“Wait! Why are you leaving?” I said with an agonizing tone.

She tried pulling her hands away slightly, but I held on, confused by her sudden urge to run. Her eyes were wide and I could see her heart thumping loudly against her chest as if she couldn’t get out of here fast enough.

“I shouldn’t be here,” she said, her voice trembling. “What if your mate shows up? I don’t want to be misunderstood.”

Her words hit me like a bucket of cold water, sobering me up just a little. My mate?

Although her concerns were real, and in that moment, I realized how all of this must have looked from her perspective.

I scoffed, releasing her arm, but not moving away from her. “She’s not coming here,” I muttered, bitterness seeping into my voice. “She wouldn’t. Not now. Not ever.”

Anita’s brow furrowed, clearly not understanding the weight behi

    Anita’s PovI sat, frozen on the couch, my arms wrapped tightly around myself, trying to make sense of the whirlwind of emotions that had swept through the room since Damian had arrived.Alpha Hades was acting out of character, more vulnerable and raw than I’d ever seen him, but the more he spoke, the more I realized there were layers to this man I didn’t fully understand.As I stood there, trying to process the conversation between the two men, a heavy silence filled the room. Damian’s eyes flicked to me briefly before settling back on Alpha Hades. He had mentioned something about the Alpha’s injury, a piece of information that sent a chill down my spine.Injuries to an Alpha were a serious matter, especially when it concerned the safety of the entire pack. The fact that I knew about it now, as a rogue, it complicated things further. I wasn’t supposed to know about it at all. I wasn’t supposed to be involved in any of this.Alpha Hades turned toward me, his gaze dark and calculating.

    Hade’s PovAnger coursed through my veins, hot and pulsing, as Damian’s words echoed in my head. The way he said it—as if I should have simply followed the elders’ orders and married a Luna of equal standing and that got me infuriated. I clenched my fists, trying to control the surge of emotion, but it was no use. Damian had pushed me too far.I turned to face him, my voice low and dangerous. “Enough, Damian.” Damian knew better than to question me like this, especially when it came to my mate. He didn’t understand. No one did.“Alpha, I’m just—”I cut him off sharply with a growl,“Don’t. You have no idea what you’re talking about.”The room was suddenly too small, too confining. I felt trapped by my own anger, by the constant reminder of what I had lost. My mate had betrayed me, shattered every shred of trust I had once held. And yet, here was Damian, throwing it all back in my face, as if I should’ve just followed the rules and done what the pack wanted.A heavy silence fell over u

    Anita’s PovI stood there, watching Alpha Hades’ reaction as I tried to process everything that had just happened. The whole situation felt surreal, as if I were trapped in a strange dream that I couldn’t wake up from. What had started as a simple task of assisting the Alpha had spiraled into something much more complicated, leaving me feeling off balance and unsure of how to proceed.Alpha Hades had reacted so strongly when my forehead had brushed against his lips, so strongly that it left me questioning why it had affected him so much.To me, it wasn’t a big deal. Accidents happen, and it wasn’t like I had intended for it to happen. But the way he recoiled, the way his eyes widened in shock as if something important had occurred, made me realize there was more going on beneath the surface.I couldn’t help but wonder what he was thinking, but before I could say anything, he quickly instructed Damian to escort me out. His tone was clipped, as if he were trying to regain control of a s

    Anita’s PovAs I approached the pool, I spotted Damian waiting for me. He was already dressed in his swimwear, his usual stoic expression masking whatever thoughts might have been swirling around in his head. He greeted me with a nod, his eyes were scanning my face as if searching for something.“Ready for training?” he asked.I nodded, trying to push my lingering doubts to the back of my mind. “Ready as I’ll ever be.”Damian led the way to the pool, and as we stepped onto the deck, I noticed Alpha Hades was already there. He was standing in the shallow end, his phone pressed to his ear, his posture tense. His voice carried over the water, sharp and frustrated, as he spoke to whoever was on the other end of the line.“I don’t care about the complications,” he snapped with a tone laced with impatience. “I need this annulment processed as soon as possible. No more delays.”Annulment?The word echoed in my mind, sending a pang through my chest. He was still determined to sever the bond w

    Anita’s PovDarkness engulfed me, an oppressive weight pressing down on my chest as I struggled to breathe. The last thing I remembered was the cool water surrounding me, the familiar feeling of being in control, until that sudden wave of dizziness took it all away.I felt my body betray me, refusing to respond as I desperately tried to reach the surface. But the darkness had other plans, pulling me under, deeper and deeper, until everything faded away.I was floating now, somewhere between consciousness and oblivion, my thoughts disjointed and scattered. Memories of the past mixed with fragments of the present, creating an alarming pattern of images and sensations.I saw the forest, the tall trees casting long shadows as I stumbled through them. My body was battered and bruised, and every step sent a jolt of pain through me, but I couldn’t stop. I couldn’t let them catch me.The wolves were close behind, their snarls growing louder, more ferocious with every passing second. I could f

    Anita’s PovAs I walked into the packhouse, still trying to process everything that had happened by the pool, I couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling that clung to me. My mind kept drifting back to the way Alpha Hades had reacted, how he had blamed himself for not protecting me. But more than that, it was the way he looked at me, like he was seeing something he hadn’t noticed before and that unsettled me the most.I pulled my jacket tighter around myself, the chilling breeze added a tension knotting in my stomach.I had excused myself when Alpha Hades was scolding Kira and reaching there now, him and Damian were gone.Suddenly, I caught sight of Kira, standing near the entrance. Her eyes locked onto mine, and a sinister smile slowly spread across her lips.“So,” she began, her voice dripping with disdain, as she moved close to me. “I didn’t expect you to make Alpha Hades fall for you so easily.”I stopped in my tracks as her words cut through the air like a blade. “What are you talking ab

    Anita’s PovDamian, the Beta, stepped forward, his face lined with concern. “Alpha,” he began cautiously, “Kira was handling some important tasks, and with her demotion, we’re going to face challenges. It’s not easy to replace her, not immediately. I’ve seen you make impulsive decisions before, but this one—”Alpha Hades cut him off with a sharp look, his voice as cold as the winter wind. “Damian, not firing her without delay was already an act of mercy. You know the laws of the pack. Betrayal is not tolerated.”I dared to glance up at him, and our eyes met for a brief moment. His gaze softened, just slightly, before he turned back to Damian. “Anita will take over some of those tasks,” he declared. “She’s my assistant now, and I trust her to handle it.”My heart skipped a beat at his words. Trust. It was such a small word, but coming from Alpha Hades, it carried immense weight. My chest tightened with fear.Could I really live up to his expectations? Did he truly trust me, or was this

    Anita’s PovI smiled, though it felt a little forced, and then, I confirmed what Damian had asked me earlier."Yes, it’s true," I added, though with an unsure look because I still haven't digested the actions of my mate.If he was truly with or for me. If he would still come back to take me along with him.Damian sighed, “It’s just that…” he began, then hesitated as if weighing whether to continue or not.“Apart from work and his mate, the Alpha rarely shows interest in anyone else. But O think you’ve caught his attention, which isn’t something that happens often. And to be honest, I also think your presence could help him feel better, especially since he’s been in a bad mood lately.” he added.Then his eyes flicked over to Alpha Hades, who was still standing a short distance away with an unreadable expression.Damian then looked back at me with a softened gaze. “But since you’re married, it’s probably best if you keep your distance.”The words hit me like a cold splash of water.

    Anita's POVAlpha Hades walked toward me, his presence so commanding that the room seemed to shift with his every step. People around him, sensing the intimacy that was about to unfold, tactfully retreated, leaving us alone in the quiet of the dressing room. The air felt different now, charged with something unspoken, an electric tension that hummed beneath my skin. I stood frozen for a moment, unable to move, my breath shallow as I stared up at him. His eyes, dark as the night, met mine with an intensity that made my heart race faster than I could comprehend. There was a calm confidence in his every move, but something in the way he looked at me, something in the predatory gleam in his crimson eyes, made the space between us seem impossibly small. My pulse quickened. I wasn’t sure if I was more afraid or excited, but the emotions mixed together in a cocktail that left me breathless. As he drew closer, his hand brushed lightly against my back. The sudden coldness of his touch made m

    Anita's POVAt first, I thought I was still dreaming. But the tightness of his arms around me, I could feel his warmth seeping into my skin, his heartbeat thudded loudly, steady and strong beneath my ear. He was real. This was real. He wasn’t the wolf from my dream. My breathing slowed as I clung to him, still half-convinced I was trapped in the haze of sleep.I couldn’t help it; tears welled up in my eyes. I hadn’t realized just how frightened I had been until I felt the safety of his arms around me. The panic, the confusion, the overwhelming feeling of vulnerability all seemed to melt away in an instant.I pulled away just enough to look at him, my voice trembling. “Why did you come?” The words came out in a broken whisper, the flood of emotions too much for me to contain. My throat felt tight, and I had to blink away the tears that threatened to fall.Alpha Hades’s gaze softened as he cupped my cheek, his thumb gently brushing away the tear that had escaped. His voice was calm, but

    Hades’s POVThey were visibly shaking as they stood before me. Their earlier bravado had crumbled into an intense fear. I could almost smell their anxiety. Carla, the one who had been the boldest in the video, was now trembling, her hands clutching at her arms as if she could keep herself from breaking apart. Lila and Michelle, the other two, were similarly pale, their eyes darting between me and each other. They didn’t know how far this would go, but they knew it had already gone too far.My Beta, Damian, stood behind me, his arms crossed, his face as stern as mine. He was the one who spoke, his voice a cold, steady echo of my own. "Do you understand the gravity of what you've done?" he asked, his eyes scanning the women as they cowered before us.Carla’s voice trembled when she spoke. "We... we didn’t mean any harm, Alpha. It was just a prank... It was just a joke!" Her words tumbled out as a desperate attempt to justify their actions.I didn’t let her finish. "A joke?" I said, my v

    Hades’s POVThe day had been long, but nothing could have prepared me for what awaited when I got home. I was barely through the door when my phone buzzed, the notification lighting up the screen. It was a message from Damian, my Beta. The subject line alone—Surveillance Footage: Restroom Incident—set my blood boiling before I even opened it.I swiped open the message, my heart thudding heavily in my chest. As I opened the attachment, a surveillance video file, I braced myself, my instincts screaming that something was wrong. The video started, and my focus zeroed in on the footage. It showed the hallway leading to the restrooms.The first thing I saw was Anita. She appeared calm, walking hastily towards the restroom. My chest tightened at the sight of her. Moments later, three female employees appeared in the frame. They were clustered together just out of sight of the restroom door, whispering animatedly. Even without sound, their body language was clear—these women weren’t just go

    Hades's POVAnita's weak voice from inside the bathroom was all the confirmation I needed. My chest tightened as her words echoed in my ears: “I’m hurt. I can’t get out.” For a brief moment, panic threatened to take over, but I crushed it down, replacing it with cold determination.“Someone get the key!” I barked, my voice sharp and commanding as I turned to the gathered employees. They scrambled to follow my orders, scattering in different directions.Beta Damian returned moments later, holding a key in his hand. “Here, Alpha. This should be the one.”Without wasting a second, I snatched the key from him and attempted to fit it into the lock. My hands moved swiftly, but the key wouldn’t slide in. I tried again, twisting it, forcing it, but it refused to go in, almost as though something was blocking the keyhole.“This isn’t right,” I muttered under my breath, my frustration mounting.Damian leaned closer, his brows furrowed. “It doesn’t make sense, Alpha. That’s the correct key for t

    Anita's POVPain shot through my body like lightning, each nerve screaming in protest as I tried to move. The moment I attempted to shift, it felt as though my limbs were foreign to me, like they belonged to someone else Every inch of my body seemed to be made of fragile glass, and I was too terrified to risk the slightest crack. My knees throbbed fiercely, the impact of my fall radiating up to my thighs, and my hands stung sharply from the abrasions left by the rough tiles. They felt raw, like the skin had been peeled away to expose something vulnerable beneath.I closed my eyes tightly, trying to steady my breathing, but each inhale felt shallow and shaky. The cold air of the bathroom did nothing to calm the rising panic in my chest. It felt like the walls were closing in, and my pulse drummed violently in my ears. Worst of all was the sharp ache in my right ankle, a pain so intense it felt like knives twisting with even the slightest movement. I couldn’t remember how I had fallen o

    Anita’s POVThe sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting soft beams across the room as I slowly stirred from my sleep. The events of yesterday—the kiss, the bond, and the uncertainty that lingered—still felt like they were suspended in the air, surrounding me. My heart ached in places I hadn’t known existed, and my mind raced as I tried to wrap my thoughts around everything that had changed so quickly.But as the morning light began to warm my room, I forced myself to rise. I couldn’t remain in this emotional haze. I had responsibilities and I had to face them head-on.I dressed quickly, pulling on a simple yet elegant blouse and skirt, not wanting to dwell too long in front of the mirror. As I tied my shoes, I caught a glimpse of my reflection and let out a sigh. It was hard to focus on my own face when the idea of him kept swirling in my mind. The truth of the bond between us was undeniable, but what did it mean? Was I ready to confront that reality?I grabbed my bag, feeling

    Anita’s POVI could feel my heart pounding in my chest as I stood in the corner of the living room, hidden from view. There, just outside the door, was Alpha Hades. Standing there with him was Zach and Martha, the two people I trusted most. I could hear their voices, but I couldn’t bring myself to join them. Not yet.Zach’s voice broke through the tension, light but full of an underlying sincerity. “I forgive you, Alpha Hades,” he said firmly, his tone not one of mockery like before but something else. "You’ve apologized. You messed up, but we all do. I’m sure my sister's got her reasons for the way she feels."Martha, standing beside him, nodded thoughtfully, but there was an unreadable expression on her face. She wasn’t entirely convinced, I could tell, but she wasn’t one to make judgments without hearing both sides.I could feel the weight of Alpha Hades’ gaze on the spot where I was hiding, and despite my best efforts, I couldn’t shake the sensation that he knew exactly where I wa

    Anita’s POVThe truth had settled in my chest like a stone. Alpha Hades was my mate. But that wasn’t the worst of it. No, the worst part was that he wasn’t just my mate. He was my mate—a powerful Alpha, and not the only one.There was another name. Another woman. A woman named Anita.I couldn’t believe it. I had thought for a fleeting moment that maybe, just maybe, my bond with Hades was fated, unique. But as it turned out, fate was a cruel mistress. Anita was the woman Alpha Hades had been destined for long before me, and I was only the latest chapter in a story that had already been written. What did this mean for me? What did this mean for us?I sat on the couch, my fingers tightly gripping the fabric as I stared at the contract. I hadn’t realized it, but my mind had been spinning since the moment I’d seen Alpha Hades’ name scrawled across the page. How was I supposed to process this?
