Eliza's POV "He will answer for his crimes, and his Luna will too. They will be wiped off their alpha and Luna status immediately." My father threw out his demands as Alpha Morgan was dragged away; I looked to my brother, who reached for my hand and gave me a reassuring smile. I couldn't look at Mabel's lifeless body strewn across the floor in front of us. Alex went to check for a pulse and put her in the recovery position. My father grunted and walked out of the room. I watched him go, wondering if killing the old woman was the right thing to do. He was understandably angry about what happened to me, but I was shocked. I couldn't make sense of any of it. Alpha and Luna would lose their titles, meaning the quadruplets would have to take Daniella as their mate and Luna. Creek could not go without a leader, so why should I care anyway? "She is dead," Alex confirmed and clicked his fingers, causing the guards to scoop her body up and take her away. I couldn't even cry. I was numb.
Daniella’s POV I had been waiting hours for Alpha Morgan, Luna Lara and the quadruplets to return, but there was still no sign of them the following day after the King's ball was over. I couldn't wait to see them and start discussing my upcoming ceremony to be taken as their chosen mate. Tricia kept assuring me that everything would be ok and I shouldn't worry. My parents had no idea what was happening either. Nobody had any answers. My parents and most of the pack were out on the training grounds. I was tired of waiting and I decided to go and find Grayson, since he would know something at least. Knocking on the door of Alpha Morgan's study, I pushed it open and saw Grayson engrossed in whatever paperwork he was busy looking at. “Grayson, can I have a word with you, please? I'm worried about your parents and your brothers. Where are they?” I sat in front of him and waited for him to answer me. Grayson looked up and sneered at the sight of me. I thought how rude and arrogant he
Eliza’s POV I felt a chill run down my spine as I stood in my bedroom, staring at the solid oak door that now seemed a barrier between me and the rest of the world. My father's words echoed: "It's for your good." But what was his good? Why did he suddenly act like a crazy paranoid nutcase? I looked around the room, trying to distract myself from the unease growing inside me. The familiar objects that once comforted me now seemed dull and lifeless. The books on my shelf, the flower-patterned curtains, even the soft bed that had cradled me through nights - everything seemed to be suffocating me. I paced back and forth, my mind racing with questions. What had I done to deserve this? Was it because I had rejected those brothers? Had I somehow disrespected him in some way? I recalled our last conversation, trying to remember any words or actions that might have triggered this reaction. But nothing seemed to make sense. My father had been strict but never cruel in the short time
Eliza's POV Alpha Theron? I didn't know whether to smile or cry at the sight of him. He bowed and kissed my hand. I was in shock because I had not been expecting to see him. "Theron, what brings you here?" I finally opened my mouth and uttered some words. He glanced at my brother and back at me, a glint of happiness in his eyes. "Princess, I wanted to offer you my congratulations on rejecting the wretched Alpha brothers. I came late to the ball last night and stayed in the guest suite. I heard all about what had been happening and wanted to make sure that you were okay before I returned to my own pack. I took a deep breath, trying to process the sudden turn of events. "Thank you, Theron," I said, calm and composed. "I...I didn't expect to see you here." He smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I know. I apologize if I startled you. But, like I said, I wanted to ensure you were okay. I did not get a chance to see you at the ball." I felt a flush rise to my chee
Rylan's POV I felt relief as the servant's words hung in the air. "You are all free to leave," he said, his tone neutral. "The King has decided to give you a second chance. It was your parents' mistake, not yours, after all." He turned on his heel and exited the room, leaving us to our devices. I was already on my feet, eager to get out of the cold room and back into the bright sunlight. "I'm out of here," Rio said, his voice dripping with disdain. "If our parents have done wrong, that's on them. We didn't ask for this." Enzo nodded in agreement, his eyes flashing with anger. "We didn't deserve to be punished for their mistakes." Edward, however, looked hesitant, his brow furrowed in concern. "But we cannot just leave them; they are our parents regardless." Rio and Enzo looked at Edward as if he were insane. They turned and left the door before another word could be said. Edward turned his focus to me. "What about you, Rylan? Are you going to walk away from o
Alpha Morgan's POV I sat on the cold, damp cell floor, feeling rather sorry since I had been thrown inside here like a criminal. The King was out of his mind. What was he planning to do with me? I had no idea, but the fact that I was chained and forced to eat bread and drink water made me feel sick; I thought about my boys and how they might be feeling right now. I was an alpha, their father, and a role model for my entire pack. How could that be taken away from me so quickly? My poor Luna would be beside herself with worry, no doubt. I could not believe this was happening to me. If my sons had kept their stupid mouths shut and accepted Daniella as their mate, then none of this would have happened, but Rylan just had to keep pushing. I thought back to when we first found Eliza in the woods and took her home. She was a tiny, helpless newborn. My Luna and I had decided not to declare it at first and thought nothing more of it; she was taken care of within our pack, and that
Alpha Morgan’s POV I glared at my Luna, my mind reeling with emotions. How could she do this to me? To our family? To our pack? The thought of Theron, my arch-nemesis, being the true father of my boy, Grayson, was unbearable. I had been there for him since the day that he was born. I thought my family was complete, and I was a father again. "Why?" I demanded, my voice low and menacing. "Why did you keep this from me? Why did you betray me like this?" My Luna's tears fell silently as she spoke, her voice barely above a whisper. "I didn't mean to hurt you, Morgan. I was young and stupid. I didn't know what I was getting myself into." I felt like I'd been punched in the gut again. "You didn't know what you were getting yourself into?" I repeated, my voice incredulous. "You knew exactly what you were doing. You chose to betray me, to deceive me, to destroy our family. You made an oath to be my chosen Luna. We agreed to keep that between us. Did you forget about that?” I growled.
Eliza's POV My brother shook his head and shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know what to think; let's go find Father and talk to him." He suggested, and I hesitated. What if he shoved me into my bedroom again and punished Alex for letting me out? Alex sensed my concerns and placed a hand on my shoulder. "It will be ok, little sister. I promise. I am here with you now, and I won't let anything or anyone hurt you. Father is just afraid that he will lose you again. He has been much happier since you came back into our lives. I know that better than anyone else around here." Alex reassured me, and I couldn't help but smile despite the worries that clouded my mind. As I stood there, my mind racing with the uncertainty of what lay ahead, I felt Alex's reassuring hand on my shoulder. His words were like a warm blanket wrapping around me, calming my fears and doubts. I looked up at him, my eyes searching for any sign of deception, but all I saw was genuine concern and kindness. My b
Rylan’s POV I felt my heart nearly stop as recognition washed over me, a cold sweat breaking out on my skin. The voice was unmistakable; it was deep and authoritative, sending chills down my spine. It belonged to someone I had once considered a friend, trained alongside during those grueling days of alpha training.“Rylan,” Lila whispered, her breath hot against my ear. “What’s happening? Who was that?”“It's him,” I said, barely able to keep my voice steady. “Marcus. He was—he was with us during training. He went dark...said he’d do anything for power.”“Who?” Lila pressed, her eyes wide with fear.“He was one of the strongest prospects,” I explained, recalling his fiercely competitive nature and the way he had pushed everyone to their limits. “But something changed. He wanted power, and I thought he’d fallen off the radar. Now… he’s here, leading the very intrusion that could destroy everything we’ve fought for.”“Then we can’t get caught,” Daniella whispered urgently. “If he’s wit
Rylan’s POV I felt the weight of his words crash over me like a wave. Grayson and Lila—a bond forged in the fires of loyalty and love. It made sense, but we now didn't have time to unpack that realisation. Not when danger lurked beyond the door, and chaos threatened to engulf us. “Grayson, please!” I urged desperation creeping into my voice. “We can’t just leave you to fight alone!” Enzo stepped forward, determination etched across his face. “You’re outnumbered, Grayson! We’re stronger together. We can figure this out!” The door shuddered again, and approaching footsteps pounded against my ears. Grayson’s eyes locked onto mine, fierce and resolute. “There’s no time! Get Lila out of here. I’ll buy you some time—go!” I hesitated, torn between my instincts to protect my pack and the agonising urgency of Lila’s situation. “Grayson, I—” “Stop! We don’t have the luxury of debate,” he snapped, his voice cutting through my tumultuous thoughts. “You have to trust me. The moment those c

Rylan’s POV “What the heck happened?” I rubbed my head and blinked a few times. I was surrounded by darkness. “Rylan?” Daniella called out and I could sense her fear and relief from her tone. “What’s is going on? Where are we?” She started to get hysterical. “Daniella, I have no idea.” I shouted back. My voice was loud and echoey. I guessed that we were in a big room but I couldn’t work out where. My mind was blank. Where was my brothers and my pack? Daniella was here but still remained the question of how and why? “Where is everyone?” I said out loud. “Rylan something bad is happening, isn’t it?” Daniella started to whine and I couldn’t be bothered to deal with her right now. I needed to find a way out out of this place. “Daniella, focus!” I snapped, trying to shake off the fog that clouded my mind. “We need to keep calm. We can’t let panic take over.” But even as I said it, I felt the knot of worry tightening in my stomach. “Right, okay, calm,” she murmured,
Eliza’s POV My blood boiled at the sight, infusing me with a raw, uncontained rage that eclipsed everything else.“THERON!” I howled, my voice filled with desperation and fury. It shattered the air around us, reverberating with primal energy. As if my scream had triggered something, I charged forward, a blur of fur and fangs, desperation propelling me. The world narrowed to that intense moment, each heartbeat a drum calling me to action. I could feel Jasmine stirring again, the need to protect a power surging through us, binding us in our shared purpose.In an instant, I leapt, agile and relentless, my claws outstretched. The black wolf turned its attention to me, its glowing eyes narrowing. But it was too late—I collided with it, knocking it off Theron. The force of my assault sent the beast sprawling back into the shattered glass, sparks of fury igniting from my body as I fought to assert my dominance.“Get up!” I shouted at Theron, my voice fiercely determined. Momentarily stunn
Eliza’s POV “Yelda?” I gasped, unable to believe she was standing in front of me. What had she done? The smirk on her face said it all. “What have you done to my alpha mates? You bitch.”I could feel my anger boiling over as Yelda's smirk grew wider. Jasmine, my wolf, was stirring, sensing my distress and ready to take control. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, but it was useless. The sight of Yelda, her eyes gleaming with malice, was enough to push me over the edge."Tell me what you've done with my mates," I growled, my voice low and menacing. Theron's hand on my shoulder was a cautionary reminder to keep my emotions in check, but I was beyond reason.Yelda chuckled, the sound sending shivers down my spine. "Oh, Eliza, you're so predictable. Do you think you can waltz in here and demand answers? I've been waiting for you, and now that you're here, you'll play by my rules."I snarled, baring my teeth. Jasmine was rising to the surface, and I could feel my body beginn
Eliza’s POV “Wait a minute, Princess Eliza,”’ Theron called after me. Turning, I glared at Theron, my eyes flashing with determination. "Don't even try to stop me, Theron. I'm going to Creek and will not leave until I see my mates. They're in danger, and I need to be with them."Theron's expression softened, and he nodded. "I won't stop you, Princess. I am coming with you and will get you there soon. But please, be careful. we don't know what we're walking into." I was surprised by his willingness to help because I had thought he would only want to stop me from leaving. I knew how my father was and was desperate to go before he appeared and tried to stop me. “Fine, then let’s go.” I gestured to the car. “Princess Eliza, I will have to accompany you.” Bernard suddenly appeared out of nowhere. I turned to him and let out a slight growl. Why did he suddenly pop up? Where had he even been? “Do you think I need your supervision? Just because my father insisted I need you doesn’t mean I
Eliza's POV The following day, I woke up to the streaming rays of sunlight through my open window. Blinking a few times as I adjusted to waking up, I suddenly remembered everything that had happened the night before. I felt a warm tingle wash over me as I sat up and stretched my body out. My quadruplet mates and I had finally become one. But they weren't in my bedroom. I frowned as I exited the bed and padded to the open window. Closing it, I noticed Theron and Lara whispering outside. A knock on the door caused me to jump in surprise. "Who is it?" I called out, and the door opened to reveal my brother. "Good morning, sister. How are you?" He bounded in but stopped when he saw the marks on my neck. A smile suddenly formed on his face. "Good morning, Alex. Where are the quadruplets? They haven't come to greet me yet." I scowled, wondering where they had gotten to. My brother looked confused. "You know they went back to Creek. Rylan said he told you they had to return
Rylan’s POV My heart raced at her confession, her words igniting desire within me and my brothers. She lay there, an exquisite goddess dressed in the remnants of her clothing, radiating power, vulnerability, and an intoxicating allure that made it impossible to resist her. "Then let us make you feel that way," Enzo said, his voice a low growl, as he leaned down to kiss her again, capturing her lips with urgency. The way she responded to him—moaning softly and arching her back—sent a rush throughout the room, filling us all with a shared longing that bound us closer together.As I watched the scene unfold, I could feel Eliza's energy ebbing and flowing, each touch sending ripples of pleasure through her. My hands joined Enzo’s, lightly exploring her abdomen as I marvelled at the smoothness of her skin. We were so intensely connected, tethered by the pull of fate. "Tell us what you need, Eliza," Ed prompted softly. His fingers ran along her shoulder, brushing against the delicate cur
