Darren's POV.

I'm relentless in my search, but I still can't find her.

I've been searching and searching, I even called Aidan to join me, I knew he was on his way.

And I hoped he somehow stumbled on her, it would make things easier for me.

I sat down close to the tree, extremely exhausted from searching for her, the whole area I sat close to has been thoroughly ransacked by me.

I stared at the plants around, wondering if she was there somewhere.

I knew it was just wishful thinking,yet I couldn't help thinking about it.

I wouldn't mind it if I were to see her right away, the thought of her being lost scared me.

The thought of my enemies laying their hands on her terrified me.

It made me wish she could appear here right now, I wish the goddess could tell me where she was now.

I tried tracking her with her scent, but it felt like it was blocked and I could get even a sniff.

Even my vision tracking felt off, it means she was in an enclosed space.

I hit the tree frustratingly, pouring down

    Darren's POV."You need to leave." He growled.I smirked wondering what I would do to him if he ended up touching me."I won't leave till I get to search your pack." I said.He turned to his guards, giving them a signal to come after me.I was too fast and he didn't expect that. I grabbed one of the guards' guns and aimed it at him. He raised his hands up, his eyes filled with rage, I knew he was embarrassed, but as an Alpha, I wanted him to know I was also an Alpha, a much stronger Alpha, and I needed respect from him too."You will let me check your pack, I'm not coming to hurt anyone, I just need to search for something." I said."You can follow me, or have one of two of your guards do that." I added.He nodded after a while, I know he was still angry, but I didn't care.My focus was checking if I could see Leila anywhere.If she was hidden here by them, the fire I'll give them will definitely hurt them all."Both of you follow him." He said.The guards nodded standing behind me,

    Leila's POV.I stared at the house I was trapped in many times.Thinking of a way to escape, I couldn't find the chance as I was watching every time.The only thing I can do is wait for an opening and leave immediately.I thought bitterly as I turned around to face my surroundings.I watched the men who kept glaring at me, trying to keep a close eye on me.I hated this. It made me feel uncomfortable. Why did they want me here so bad? I know they said they'll use me to trap Alpha Darren and probably hurt him, and I don't want that.My eyes darted around the place. It seemed like a warehouse, I couldn't see anything outside and I didn't know what was out there if I ended up running out successfully.I tried freeing myself from the rope tied on my hands and legs, but it didn't work, it only brought the attention of the men watching me.A loud slap landed on my face, making me flinch. My cheeks reddened and I glared down at them, glaring at the man who slapped me."What do you think you'

I asked, alarmed at the sight of the blood.She didn't answer immediately. Instead she looked behind me and my gaze."Let's go." She urged as I watched them run towards us.I watched them run and I growled in anger, I needed to teach them a lesson for touching her.Her skin had been torn, there were small cuts all over it, as well as blood, but I wasn't going to kill them.I was going to catch them, and make them tell me who sent them.I called Aidan immediately, calling him to bring guards for me.I began fighting them, and they were fast, too damn fast,but I was stronger, more powerful, and I would defeat them with ease.One tried attacking Leila and I blocked, and used my speed against him, knocking him off his feet and away from her before I tackled him.I grabbed him by the throat and squeezed.

I tried to stand up from the bed but ended up flopping over onto my side.As I lay there, I realized that the room had grown colder.My heart started racing, as it always did when I got too anxious. The pain in my forehead increased, a throbbing sensation now.It felt like a giant fist had been slammed into the middle of my skull.My breaths came faster and quicker as I fought back panic. Something was wrong. I tried standing up again, but only succeeded in falling to the floor in a heap.The pounding didn't let up, and I knew something was wrong if I could barely even get myself upright.My breath grew ragged, the pounding becoming more intense with each passing second, and soon I couldn’t c

My eyes burn with frustration and rage.The pain in my heart is gut wrenching, it hurts to breathe in that moment, the air is too thick and heavy and hot in here, suffocating me, making it hard to draw in oxygen.I can't believe what I heard from the Alpha, I couldn't imagine it.I won't let Leila steal the Luna position, it is mine and I won't let anyone.I had to rush and leave the room immediately I heard what he said.Watching them kiss, I couldn't stand it, watching their lips move against each other, kissing, kissing.I wanted to slam her head on the wall, kick her in the stomach, strangle her, I wanted to beat her bloody.But instead I rushed back to my room, I paced in circles as my mind raced, I was so angry and frustrated and disappointed.What the hell did he think he would accomplish with his little tryst? How dare he kiss her like that, how dare he touch her. How dare he t

I needed to shut them up, it was for the best.I already signaled the guard that was always on my side to come and help me in killing them.There was nothing like pity for them, they were out to ruin my plans.I knew they'll finally confess with the way the Alpha kept torturing them all day.I waited for the guards to leave immediately.But they kept parading, I knew they wouldn't let the prisoners escape, that's why the Alpha kept a lot of them there immediately.I couldn't stand the fact that I had to wait too much, I still needed to leave immediately.I kept watching the guards, waiting patiently for the moment when they would leave.Soon enough they began leaving one by one.

It was just too good to be true that the woman and mate I love is lying right next to me.She stirred awake after I stroked her head lightly with my hand.

    Leila's POV.I groaned as the incessant knocking on the door jolted me awake from my peaceful slumber. Rubbing my eyes, I stumbled out of bed and made my way to the door, struggling to shake off the lingering remnants of sleep.I swung open the door to reveal a young maid standing on the other side. Her hair was neatly pulled back into a tight bun, and her eyes darted nervously around the room. She curtsied before me, her voice trembling slightly as she spoke."By Alpha's orders, I have been sent to get you ready for the celebration, ma'am," she announced, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's the mating ceremony today."Confusion washed over me like a cold wave, and I frowned, trying to gather my thoughts. Mating ceremony?"What... what ceremony?" I stammered, my voice still laced with drowsiness."The mating ceremony, ma'am," the maid repeated, her eyes widening. "You and Alpha Darren's he had been preparing for it all day"My heart skipped a beat at the realization. How could I h

It had been a long day, but I wanted to make sure Leila had a proper meal.She deserved something special, something that would nourish her body and lift her spirits. As I glanced around the kitchen, my eyes settled on the ingredients neatly arranged on the countertop. It was time to create a healthy and delicious dinner for my mate.I started by selecting a vibrant array of vegetables. Bright red tomatoes, crisp green lettuce, and vibrant orange carrots caught my attention.I carefully washed and chopped them, the sharp knife slicing through the vegetables with precision. Next, I reached for a head of cauliflower and broke it into florets, ready to be roasted to perfection.With the vegetables prepared, I turned my attention to the protein. I had bought fresh salmon, knowing that the omega-3 fatty acids would be beneficial for Leila and our unborn child. I seasoned them with a d

    Leila's POV.I woke up with a pounding headache, my temples throbbing as I tried to make sense of my surroundings. Slowly, the fog lifted from my mind, and I realized I was in my own room. Relief washed over me, mingling with confusion.How did I get here? Why was my head hurting so much? And then, like a dam breaking, my memories flooded back, crashing into my consciousness with the force of a tidal wave.I remembered meeting the healer and all, I just know the memory didn't leave. Shantel. The name echoed in my mind, carrying with it the terror of the past few days. I had been kidnapped by her and the witch, held against my will in a nightmarish ordeal.Tears welled up in my eyes as I allowed myself to fully comprehend the gravity of the situation. The Moon goddess had spared my life, and for that, I was eternally grateful, I'm sure she sent the blasting moon to kill them.The room seemed simultaneously comforting and alien. The familiar sights and sounds of my sanctuary took on ne

You should have seen what she did to me. This is just because the wounds were healing." I uttered hastily, trying hard to shade off the thoughts of Shantel becau

Her voice pierces my ears but all I see are blurry spots, "Get up" she repeats with more emphasis, I can't move, my limbs are shaking violently, "Stand up at one and do not waste my time, the ritual is happening elsewhere.

    Shantel's POV.I shivered, fear filled my body, and I could barely breath for a second. It wasn't because of the cold due to the rain. No, this was more than fear and pain.I couldn't believe what I heard from Dean, the Alpha was suspicious of me and I didn't know what to do.I was so terrified and Dean wasn't picking up his calls, or even texting me like he usually would. He's not picking up his calls, I wonder if the Alpha caught him already.I paced the corridor, trying to figure out what to do.I called his line again, and it was switched off.I bit my fingernails, my whole body shook, but my eyes stayed glued on my phone as I waited for another text message or a call.The witch came back already and she was doing her final preparations as she told me.I really didn't care about that, all that mattered to me was seeing a reply from Dean.I kept looking at my phone, waiting for anything, any kind of notification.
