Alex's Point Of View.I had woken up early in the morning, before Sarah got up and drove to Sandro's hideout. I packed the car a few miles away from his hideout and walked to the front of his place.About six guards were guarding the front door.“I'm here to see Sandro.”“He's not up yet. I'm afraid you will have to wait a while for him, or you come back.” One of the guards responded, his eyes narrowed with a smirk.“He asked me to be here early, besides, this isn't my first time coming here. Why won't you let me in?”“Do as you were told, young man. You have to wait for him.” Another said.A deep sigh escaped my lips and I walked back to the car and sat in it for a while. My mind drifted off to Sarah; how she was holding up and how she would feel about all of this – me using my mate to ascend the throne.A knock on the window cut through my thoughts, it was one of the guards, and I winded down the window.“You can come in now.” He said and turned away like someone who was being contro
Lillian's Point Of View I walked into the room, took a cold bath and went back to the living room, but Alex was gone. “Such a fool.” I grumbled as I made my way into the kitchen. As I poured myself a glass of water, I prayed and hoped that Marcus and Isabella were okay and alive. Jules's Point Of View. It was the third day since Isabella left the house, and Marcus has been my faithful dog until he moaned her name while having sex with me last night. I heard a knock on the door, it would be Marcus – we're the only ones left in the house, but I refused to answer the knock. The door opened, and he leaned against the side of the door with his hands crossed against his chest. “Are you really going to be like this, Jules?” I was seated on the bed with the bedsheet covering my body while I tried to concentrate on reading a book. “What is it you want to talk about? You can just leave, I'm busy.”“You know you can't be cold to me, you'll always love me.”“Don't dare me, Marcus. Get ou
Alpha Sarah's Point Of ViewI got home with a heavy heart and slammed the door in Mrs. Sophie's face when she tried to talk to me. “You know you can always talk to me, Alpha Sarah. I'll be here whenever you need me.” She knocked on the door again and said. A deep grunt escaped my lips as Alex's words echoed in my head. “....... abominable Alpha.” It echoed severally and it hurts more. “I think it's time I give him some space.”A tear rolled down my cheek and I jumped into bed, cried myself to sleep. The next morning, I woke up to my phone beeping with tons of messages. I grunted softly with my eyes halfway opened as I stretched my hand to the bedside table for the phone. “Who is it this early morning?” I cussed underneath my breath as the bright light of the screen almost blinded my sleepy eyes. It was tons of messages, but one got my intense attention – one with my deepest secret. I sprang to a sitting position with my eyes widened, opened now to see the sender, an unknown sen
Alpha Sarah's Point Of ViewIt was late at night, but my eyes were widely opened with worries brooding over my heart. It had been almost a week since the lady sent me the pictures and messages, yet, no call from her.I sat on the bed with the bedsheets covering my leg and my head rested on my folded laps.“How did she find out about me? What does she want? What exactly would she gain making me miserable?”Different thoughts ran through my mind, all perplexed and unanswered.“Alex wouldn't talk to me either.” I thought aloud.I got out of bed and walked to the window side, stared out to the skies.“Can you please make my life a bit easier? This is getting too much for me to bear. I thought I had found peace here, why does it have to be now?”I turned back to the room and my eyes fell on the clock – it was 4:00am.“Maybe I should do this.”A stern look contoured my face.“This would just be the continuation of who I am......”I grabbed a back bag from my closet, grabbed a torch, a note,
Lillian's Point Of View.I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that Marcus and Isabella would abandon me like that, but I've learned to trust only myself. I heard a knock on the door and opened it, it was Megan.“Please, come in.”“I'm sorry, I couldn't come as soon as you called, babe.”She apologized as we walked into the living room and sat down.“It's fine. How was your trip?” I forced a smile.“You know you don't have to be like this around me.”My gaze fell on the floor, “What more can I do?”“Everything, but not conceal your feelings and pains.” She pulled me closer for a hug.“It's going to be fine, I'm sure they have a reason.”“Really?” I scoffed and pulled away from the hug with tears in my eyes.I got up and swiftly turned to her.“Everyone always has a reason to leave me, isn't it?”She swallowed hard and walked to where I was, took my hands in hers.“You can't conclude unless you hear the other side of the story. You shouldn't be too hard on yourself now.”“Yeah.
Isabella's Point Of View.It's been a week since I got back to Jules' house with Jameson and Beth, and things haven't been going well between Marcus and me. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that something is off between Jules and Marcus.Seated on a green, round couch outside the house and lot in thought, Jules's voice interrupted me.“Bored?”I looked up at her and glared, throwing my stare at the innocent flowers across the corner of the house. She sat beside me.“What is it you want, Jules?”“Haven't I made that clear enough?”My brows pinched, and I turned to her, our gazes locked, and a grin marred her face.“What do you mean? What are you talking about?”“You should know by now.” She rose and crossed her hands against her chest. “You would rather not mess around me, Isabella.”The rage and pain in my heart grew intense, and I could hardly stop my fist from finding its way to her face, so I got up and walked back into the house.“She sure knows how to get my attention.”
Alex's Point Of ViewI was about to open the message when Sarah sprint out of bed and kissed me by surprise.“What are you doing?” I smiled softly after she took a break from the kiss.“You don't need to open the message, babe, I'm sure it's one of the cyber scams.”“Scam? But she mentioned my name, that doesn't seem like a scam to me. Let me just see what she sent.”Alpha Sarah's Point Of ViewI tried all my best to make him not open the message, but it was to no avail. My heart almost jumped out of my chest as he clicked on the message and awaits my dreadest moment.He chuckled and showed me the picture, it was a picture of a burger with a caption, “What do you think of this?”A sigh of deep relief escaped my lips.“I guess she's a joke rather than a scam.” Alex laughed hard and threw himself on the bed.I went to the bed and laid beside him, “I'm sorry I let Beth go.”“It's fine, babe. She isn't my mate anymore.”I sprang up, same as he.“I thought you said......”“Shush.” He place
Lillian's Point Of View.Megan and I sat in the living room, watching our favorite program. As my eyes fell on her, I reminisced the times we spent together when I was still normal, or so I thought.All my life, I had thought I was human and would get to live a normal life; graduate from college, get married, have kids and live a full life, but all that got ruined on my eighteenth birthday when I found out I was adopted and wasn't close to whom I thought I was.“Are you okay?” Megan's voice cut through my subconscious mind, I jolted out of my thoughts.“Yes, I'm good. Just thinking of the days when I don't have to live like this...... Have to shift into a wolf, live in Packs and all of this.”She pulled me into a side hug, my head hung on her shoulder.“I can't live like this, I've always wanted to live a normal life like everyone else.”“But this is who you are, and you can't change that. Besides, you're not like everyone else.”I looked into her eyes, a tiny bit of hope shimmer in h
Lilian’s POVThe Palace looked almost magical in the soft morning light. Every corner shimmered, as though someone had scrubbed away the horrors of last night. But no amount of sunlight could erase the memories that lingered in my mind.I stood in the back, blending in with the crowd of Pack members. They cheered and clapped for Sarah, who stood in front of us with Alex by her side. Their smiles were genuine, their faces bright with hope, but I couldn’t join them.Beth’s face haunted me. Her last moments played over and over in my head, the way her body had gone still under the stars, the way her lips had whispered words I couldn’t quite hear. I swallowed hard, trying to push the images away, but they clung to me like shadows.Sarah raised her hands, and the room quieted. Her voice rang out, clear and strong. “Today, we celebrate the dawn of a new chapter for our Pack. We’ve endured pain, loss, and betrayal, but the Moon Goddess has guided us to this moment. Together, we’ll rebuild, s
Alpha Sarah's POVPower surged through my veins like nothing I had ever felt before. It was raw, wild, and untamed. Every fiber of my being burned with an intensity that demanded release. As Wendy lunged at me, her face twisted with hatred, I didn’t flinch. My roar erupted from deep within, shaking the very walls of the cave. The force of it sent Wendy hurtling backward, slamming against the jagged stone with a sickening crunch.She crumpled to the ground, her body limp. I should’ve felt relief, maybe even triumph. But all I felt was rage.“You brought this on yourself,” I growled, stepping closer. My claws ached to finish what she had started, to ensure she could never hurt anyone else again.Wendy groaned, her head tilting up just enough to glare at me. “You think this ends with me?” she spat, blood dripping from her mouth. “You’re just a pawn in something much bigger.”Before I could respond, movement in the corner of my eye drew my attention.Juan's POVThis wasn’t how it was supp
Alex’s POV“You think you can just walk away from this?”Juan’s voice tore through the silence like a whip, hitting me hard. I flinched, though I refused to show it. His sharp tone echoed off the stone walls. The air was already heavy with uneasiness, but his anger made it suffocating. His eyes burned with fury, his fists tight at his sides, ready to lash out.I stood still, staring at her. Around us, the remnants of the chaos—the broken furniture, shattered glass, and bloodstained floors—served as grim reminders of what had just happened. But Juan’s anger was a storm brewing on top of it all, and it was directed straight at me.“What do you want from me?” I finally snapped, my voice sharp as a blade. My chest heaved with frustration, the weight of her accusations pressing hard against me. “You think I planned this? That I wanted any of this to happen?”“You’re not innocent, Alex!” Juan roared, stepping closer. Her face twisted with rage. “You’re just like the rest of them! You carry
Alpha Sarah's POVThe air felt heavy, not just with the cool night but with the weight of everything that had just unfolded. Alex had broken down moments earlier, consumed by the ghost of his father’s voice. I had held him, trying to comfort the mate I still loved, even after everything. But there was no time for peace tonight.A sharp scream tore through the silence, wrenching us all back into reality.Beth's POVI knew I didn’t have much time. While the others were distracted, I moved toward Lilian, clutching the vial of antidote in my shaking hands. Lilian’s body was too still, her breathing too shallow. I knelt beside her, gently cradling her head as tears streamed down my face.“Just hold on,” I whispered, uncorking the vial. “You’re going to be okay.”But I didn’t see Wendy until it was too late.At first, I didn’t even realize I had been stabbed. There was only a strange pressure in my chest, like I had forgotten how to breathe. Then came the burning, fire spreading from the po
Alex's Point of ViewThe night pressed in around us, suffocating the air with an eerie silence that seemed to hold us all captive. My heart raced, my breath shallow as I stood beside Wendy. We were surrounded by a thick wall of shadows, the only light coming from the moon above, filtering through the trees. In the center of our circle, Lilian’s limp form lay motionless, her once strong presence reduced to a fragile shadow.Beth’s potion had worked too well. Too well, in fact. I could barely look at Lilian’s face, though her eyes, open and filled with an unspoken plea, forced me to meet them. Her lips trembled as if she wanted to speak, but no sound came out. The weight of her silent cry lodged in my chest like a stone. I had never intended for things to go this far, but here we were. And now, there was no turning back.I could hear Juan, Sandro, and Elena whispering to each other, their voices hushed but urgent, forming a protective barrier around us. Their eyes darted constantly from
Beth's POVThe stench of blood still clung to my hands as we left Mrs. Sophie’s garden, my heart hammering against my ribs. I couldn’t shake the image of her lifeless body from my mind. Killing her was necessary, I kept telling myself, but the weight of it sat heavy on my chest.I glanced at Isabella, her face pale and blank, her usually sharp eyes now distant. She hadn’t spoken a word since we left. Her silence was louder than any scream, and it unnerved me.The walk to the Palace felt endless. When we finally reached its towering doors, I noticed how the place seemed darker, colder, as if the walls themselves had absorbed the weight of our sins.Marcus stood at the top of the grand staircase, his gaze fixed on us. His face was unreadable, but I could see the pressure in his shoulders.Isabella froze the moment her eyes landed on him. Her silence broke with a venom-laced hiss."I'm saving Lilian without your help!" she snapped, her voice trembling with anger and grief. She turned on
Isabel's POVMy hands trembled as I stared at the person standing in Mrs. Sophie’s living room. Beth. The same Beth who had given Lilian away all in the name of whatever she was plotting with Juan. The same Beth the whole Pack thought was dead. The same Beth who the Pack thought betrayed them all. She might not have betrayed them but she betrayed me and Lillian, for that, I dint think I would ever be able to forgive her. Seeing her now felt like the ground beneath me had been ripped away, leaving me teetering on the edge of a dark abyss.I wanted to run, to escape the suffocating unease in the room, but Alpha Sarah’s firm grip on my arm kept me rooted in place. Her sharp nails dug into my skin, a reminder that I wasn’t going anywhere.“Please, Isabel,” Alpha Sarah said, her commanding voice softened to a rare whisper. “Just listen. We need both of you if we want any chance of saving Lilian.”The mention of Lilian’s name hit me like a punch to the gut. My sister was out there somewher
Wendy's Point Of view.The day was rather too slow than I expected it to be but I endured through the night. I tossed to the other side of the bed and when I groggily opened my eyes, it was met with the alarm clock.It was time to get out of bed. I threw the bedsheet over my body and got out of bed. Though it was still dark outside, this is the best time to start getting ready for the ritual."Such a good day to die, Alpha Sarah." A satisfied smile flashed on my lips.I made my way into the bathroom and took my time. After some minutes, I stepped out of the bathroom back into the room with a towel wrapped to my chest.I sat on the edge of the bed and applied lotion on my body while I hummed a slow romantic song. The sky was a bit clearer and it was time to step out if the house.I hurriedly got dressed and retreated from the house, I would have taken Alex's car but I would not want to disturb his sleep. So I walked out of the compound and trekked to the bus station where I boared a bu
Alpha Sarah's Point Of View.My face twitched with confusion as I couldn't place where I had seen the face, but I knew for certain that it was a familiar face.“Who are you? And what do you mean by you're the answer I seek? I seek nothing and I do not appreciate you calling me out like this in the middle of the night.” I warned fiercely and was about to leave when the lady stopped me.“Wait, Alpha Sarah, unless you have no interest in knowing what your mission is as the Alpha of this Pack. Seeing, you have until the end of tomorrow to remain Alpha.” She said, her voice was clouded with confidence and it clicked!This must be the bumper I saw earlier on my way home. I slowly turned to her with my brows twitched, my eyes scanning her from her head to toe.“Of course, I'm the bumper you met earlier, and I told you I would've back soon.” She uttered with a smile.“I never knew it would be this fast,” I crossed my arms against my chest with my head slightly tilted.“Well, there isn't much
