Olive’s POV I awoke, my senses immediately assaulted by the frigid touch of the floor beneath me, causing a shiver to ripple through my body. “You’re awake.” A voice pierced through the silence, jolting me from my disoriented state. Slowly, I raised my head, taking in my surroundings. I found myself confined within the confines of an unfamiliar wooden abode, nestled deep within the heart of the dense woods. The air was heavy with an unpleasant odor, permeating every corner of the small dwelling. As I became more aware of my predicament, I felt the constriction around my wrists, a cruel reminder of the ropes that bound me. My gaze shifted upwards, meeting the eyes of my captor. Angelica stood before me, a faint smile playing upon her lips. In that moment, I closed my eyes, seeking solace in the darkness, only to open them again, fully aware of the grim fate that awaited me at the hands of this woman. She was not content with simply ending my life; she derived pleasure from inflic
“What are you doing?! Come back here!” The piercing cry of Angelica reverberated through the air, urging me to halt my flight. Yet, I dared not cast a glance in her direction, my focus solely fixated on evading capture. Propelling my arms in a rhythmic motion, I jolted myself forward, impelling through the verdant expanse of the forest. The specter of apprehension loomed behind me, reminding the perilous pursuit that threatened to ensnare me. “Come back here, you bitch!” Angelica's venomous words echoed through the trees. I leapt gracefully over the fallen logs, skillfully evading the intricate webs that hung in my path. With every ounce of strength in my legs, I propelled myself forward, my heart pounding in my chest. As I reached the lush greenery, I darted beneath the protective canopy of the towering trees, feeling as though I were soaring through the air like a majestic eagle on a vital mission. The thought of being caught by Angelica sent shivers down my spine. The cons
Aaron’s POV I eagerly anticipated a blissful existence alongside my mate, bound together in marriage. Alas, this hope proved to be naught but a futile dream. My beloved was snatched away and abducted from my side, leaving me bereft and desolate. A week has passed since her disappearance, and still, there is no trace of her. To compound my anguish, I stumbled upon a revelation that shook me to my core. Raising my hand, I revisited the note that had been discovered in the car. [“Vera bore the child of a half-breed male wolf, not the esteemed Lycan Aaron.”] According to this damning message, the child that Vera carried, the child that perished with her, was not of my bloodline. Instead, it was the product of an unholy union between a half-breed wolf and my beloved. Could such a thing truly be possible? Had Vera truly betrayed me? My fists clenched tightly as I envisioned Vera’s deceitful words of “love” uttered in my presence, all the while engaging in an illicit affair with a
Asmund’s POV When news reached my ears of Olive's abduction following the nuptials, a surge of anger towards my elder sibling consumed me. He had made a solemn vow to safeguard Olive, yet how could he have allowed such a calamity to befall her? Overwhelmed by a tumultuous mix of emotions, a tempestuous storm of fury and apprehension, I found myself returning to my brother's castle. Each step I took towards his room was accompanied by a silent barrage of curses. “Damn it! You are such a liar, Olive!” She had assured me that she would live with life full of contentment and security, and that she would not die early. However, the very person, who had made these solemn vows, now faced imminent danger left me overwhelmed with an indescribable feeling of despair. “Shit!” Actually, even if I reach my brother’s room, I wasn’t sure what to say to him. My only certainty was that I would exert every effort to assist in locating Olive as swiftly as possible. Yet, as I stood before my bro
Aaron’s POV Not only was I burdened by the fact that Olive was missing and Vera had betrayed me, but now Asmund had also entered the equation. How dare he have the audacity to fall in love with my beloved companion? The moment I discovered that my younger Lycan brother harbored feelings for my wife, a surge of rage coursed through my veins. I was on the verge of tearing him apart, reducing him to mere fragments. Thankfully, I managed to restrain myself, realizing that I couldn't afford to lose yet another person who held immense significance in my life. Days turned into nights, and three sunsets had come and gone. I dedicated myself to the relentless pursuit of my missing wife, scouring every corner for any sign of her. Beta Jasfer, too, was on a quest to locate a half-breed Omega named Joana. As the passage of time wore on, exhaustion began to weigh heavily upon me. Was it due to the lack of sleep or the overwhelming sorrow that consumed me, yearning for Olive's presence? Regar
Aaron’s POV I rarely got drunk. But tonight, I failed to control myself and got drunk after drinking endlessly. The weight of everything became overwhelming. The disappearance of Olive, the betrayal of Vera, and the revelation of my younger brother’s hidden affection for my mate. And now, the news of Angelica’s lifeless body being discovered. Lying motionless on my bed, I whispered the words, “Angelica’s body was found.” Yet, amidst this grim discovery, Olive remained missing. Beta Jasfer, in his own way, attempted to convey a clear message to me. Perhaps the reason I had been unable to locate my wife, despite my relentless search, was because she had intentionally fled. “I refuse to accept that,” I muttered, my mind clouded by the intoxicating effects of the alcohol. I can’t believe it. It was Olive. The Olive who said that she loves me. She hugged me tightly, uttered my name during her ecstasy, and she vowed at the Goddess of the Moon that she would love me forever. “No
Helen’s POV When I betrayed Vincent and aligned myself with Aaron, a greedy desire consumed me. I yearned to become the Luna of the esteemed Silver Moon Pack, under the leadership of the formidable Alpha Lycan, Aaron. Confidence coursed through my veins, for I possessed unparalleled beauty and hailed from a wealthy and influential Beta lineage. I believed that these qualities would secure my rightful place by Aaron's side. Yet, my aspirations crumbled into dust when I discovered that Aaron had found a new love. And to my dismay, that love was none other than Olive, the woman Vincent had discarded – a half-breed. The revelation that Olive, whom Aaron had held captive within his castle, was his true mate left me dumbfounded. I simply could not comprehend why a feeble woman like her was destined for such a prestigious position. Thus, when Elder Rigor presented me with an opportunity to steal Aaron away from Olive, I eagerly accepted. I took a daring gamble by revealing myself at Oli
Aaron’s POV The next morning I woke up, I found the corpse of Helen beside my bed. The memories of last night came to me. And I shut my eyes as I knew this would be problematic in the near future. Even so, I didn’t regret ending her pathetic life. “Anyone there?!” I shouted, calling for any servants to come in. The door opened, and soon, the head maid, Janella, came inside with a look of surprise on her face. She could not close her mouth while looking at the mess inside my room. “L-Lycan Aaron,” she stuttered. Fear was evident on her pale face. “Clean the mess in my room,” I said, casually walking on the bloody floor. “I will prepare to go to the Beta Harry.” “Alpha Lycan. Are you implying that you will visit Helen’s family and inform them about her demise?” I looked at Janella, who only worries about me. “Janella. I am the Alpha Lycan,” I reminded her. “Helen came into my castle and made a mistake.” Janella gulped. She probably knew what Helen did. Every night,
