Daniella pov My jaw dropped as I stared at her. It was Eliza. Standing before me, she exuded an air of sophistication and poise that left me breathless. Her transformation was astonishing – she looked stunning, with her hair styled to perfection, makeup flawlessly applied, and eyes sparkling with a newfound confidence. I felt rooted to the spot, unable to move or speak as my gaze devoured every detail of her appearance. She was a far cry from the girl I had known before. Her evolution was both startling and captivating. I never could have imagined the omega girl could be standing before me like she was. As we locked eyes, the air was electric with tension. My heart raced in my chest, and my palms grew damp. It was as if time had stood still. Prince Alex's announcement broke the silence, his voice calm and collected. "We're here to discuss matters with the new alpha." He smiled warmly at Eliza, his eyes shining with adoration as she linked her arm through his. "My sister
Eliza’s POV Being back here at Creek was weird as hell for me; all of the memories of growing up and the bullying I received daily came rushing back to me like a boomerang. Standing before Daniella, the prominent ring leader, I didn’t feel scared or weak. She looked pathetic, staring at me with her fake apologetic look. “I want a proper apology from you, and I want you to mean everything to me, word of it. Get on your knees and beg me for forgiveness.” I ordered her, and my brother threw me a surprised glare. I ignored him, and this was between me and Daniella. How dare she think that she could get away with all the hurt and pain that she had caused me? I had already rejected the alpha quadruplets as my mate, but that didn’t mean everyone else was about to get off without any punishment. My brother didn’t even know half of what I had gone through. “Princess Eliza!” Daniella stuttered nervously as she knelt and clasped her hands together. I could see her bottom lip tremb
Eliza’s POV “Eliza, we have to go back to the palace.” my brother suddenly ushered me away to the waiting car before I could open my mouth and protest. "Eliza?” he said, his voice low and urgent. “Get in.” I frowned, looking up at him. "What's wrong? What's going on?"But he just shook his head. "Not here. Let's get in the car.”"Alex, please," I said, trying to keep my voice light. "Tell me what's going on. Is it Father? Is something wrong?"He finally turned to me, his eyes grave. "We'll talk about it when we return to the palace," he said.Bernard sat beside me, and we remained silent, but I felt so alone. What was going on that we had to go home so soon? The rest of the ride was torture. I could feel my anxiety growing with every passing minute. What could be wrong with Father? He was the most muscular man I knew.When we finally arrived at the palace, he helped me out of the car, and we entered the grand hall. The servants were all huddled together in a corner, whispering amon
Eliza’s POV Bernard raised an eyebrow. "Wow, Princess Eliza. You're damn special to have a second chance, mate," he crossed his arms over his chest. I scowled at him, thinking about how I had rejected four mates already. My father was unwell, so did I want the hassle of another mate? Alex placed a hand on my shoulder. "We'll support you, Eliza. We'll be here for you, no matter what." I nodded, feeling thankful to my brother. He was always there for me, even when I was stubborn and headstrong. "I think I need some time to think," I said, turning away from them. "I'll come back and talk to you both later." Bernard nodded. "Take all the time you need, princess." I walked back into my father's room, feeling anxious. Father's eyes were closed; I sat beside him, taking his hand in mine. "Father?" I whispered. "What do you think? Should I take a chance on Ryder?" He opened his eyes, a faint smile on his lips. "You deserve happiness, Eliza. If Ryder makes you happy, then ta
Rylan’s POV “What the hell is wrong with you, Daniella?” I demanded to know as she was shoved into an empty room. I couldn’t believe how stupid she was in front of Prince Alex and Eliza. She is lucky she wasn’t ripped apart, but as the new alpha, we could not let her off lightly. We had to show an excellent example to others. “I hate her. She doesn’t deserve anything. Why should she be a princess and in the royal family?” Daniella scowled and crossed her arms over her chest like a spoilt brat. “You know what, Daniella? I’m so glad that we never took you as our chosen mate. Your attitude stinks.” With that, I gestured for the guard to lock the door and ensure Daniella stayed there until it was decided otherwise. “Rylan, what will we do about this situation with Daniella?” Enzo asked me, and Rio stepped up before I could respond, let alone blink. “What do you think?” I said, rubbing my chin and focusing on my brothers. I could sense their concern when I looked at my brothe
Eliza’s POV Alex’s eyes widened in surprise. “Help him? How?” I felt a wave of encouragement in my brother’s interest. “Ryder’s friend, Dr. Adams, has a new experimental treatment that could—” “Experimental?” Alex interrupted, a frown settling on his face. “You know how dangerous those can be, Eliza. We can’t just jump into something without knowing the risks.” I met his gaze, trying to find the right words. “I know, but what if this could be the breakthrough we need? What if it could save him?” Alex shook his head, his brows knit in concern. “Have you spoken to Father about it? Does he even want to go through something so uncertain?” My heart sank. I hadn’t thought about that. “He hasn’t been awake long enough for us to discuss it,” I admitted. “But I know he wouldn’t want to leave us in a position where we had to watch him suffer.” “Is it worth the risk?” Alex asked, his words laced with scepticism. “Maybe,” I replied, a quiet determination settling in. “I’m willing to hear
Eliza’s POV Ryder said goodbye to me and I walked back into the pack house where I found Abbie arranging some flowers into vases. She looked really deep in thoughts and I admired how she always paid attention to detail. “What do you think he'll be like?” Abbie asked thoughtfully as she noticed me beside her. “Dr. Adams?” I wondered aloud. “I hope he’s as talented as Ryder said he is. I want to believe he can really help Father.” “You really like this Ryder don't you? I see the smile on your face when you hear his name. “ Abbie grinned at me knowingly. “But, I do hope that we will have good news?” Abbie stepped back, admiring her arrangement of flowers. “I’m trying not to get my hopes too high,” I admitted, grabbing a small bouquet of wildflowers I’d picked from the garden the previous day to use as a centrepiece. “But I can’t help it… I need something good to come from all of this.” Abbie looked at me. “We all want that for your father, Princess Eliza. He deserves a chance.
The next morning I was so nervous that I hardly slept that night. I threw the covers off of me and got a shower and then got dressed into black shorts and a white frilly top. I shoved my hair up in a pony tail and decided to go and help Abbie to prepare a breakfast for everyone. I needed to keep myself busy until my father was ready to show his face. I just hoped and prayed that Dr Adams had worked his magic well enough on my father. I couldn't bare to think of life now without my father. “Good morning, Princess Eliza!” my father called cheerfully as he walked into the kitchen. I gasped at the sight of him, I hadn't expected that this morning. Me and Abbie exchanged excited glances and she gestured for me to go to him. He looked healthier than ever, with a colour in his cheeks and a confident stride. He was already dressed in a crisp shirt and a tailored waistcoat, his hair neatly combed. “Good morning, Father!” I beamed at him. “I hope you’re ready for a feast. It is good to s
### EpilogueThe morning sun filtered through the trees, casting a golden hue across the clearing where the final confrontation had taken place. The air was crisp, fresh, as if nature itself rejoiced at the shift in energy. Eliza sat at the base of a large oak tree, surrounded by her mates—Rylan, Rio, Enzo, and Ed. Together, they had forged an unbreakable bond, not just as lovers but as champions of their people, defenders of their realm.“Can you believe it?” Lila said, her voice bubbling with excitement. “We actually did it. Yelda is gone!” She looked around at the remaining members of their pack who had joined them in the wake of Yelda’s defeat. Though weary, every face radiated relief and courage, a collective spirit united by hope.“Yeah, it feels surreal,” Enzo replied, grinning as he affectionately nudged Lila. “Guess we turned the tide after all.”“Thanks to Eliza,” Rylan said, his gaze lingering on her with admiration. “You showed everyone what true strength looks like.”Eliz
Eliza's POV "Kill us?" I sneered. "You have no power to do such a thing. I know my mates are here. I can feel them." I wagged a finger at Yelda and saw the flicker of uncertainty cross her withered face. She looked at me and threw her head back, laughing loudly, causing her stupid followers to step back in confusion. I saw the way that they exchanged looks and hesitated. "I am the white wolf; I am the royal Princess. You have no say over me. My father is the king." I continued to spout, finding my confidence flush over me. "That is right. She is the Princess, the white wolf, and our mate. We are hers." Four familiar voices shouted in unison, and I smiled, knowing my mates were with me. I did not need to look behind me to see that I was fully backed up. I felt Jasmine howl in the back of my mind. I held my hands and closed my eyes tightly as my mates stood beside me and joined hands. We formed a circle of strength, an unbreakable bond tethered by love and loyalty. My heart
Ed’s POV My heart hurt, and I felt a tight ache in my chest as I fought to pry my eyes open. The world was shrouded in a dim haze, but as I blinked against the dimness, a familiar figure came into focus. Eliza’s beautiful face floated before me, radiant even in this murky world. “Eliza,” I called out, a hoarse whisper barely piercing the quiet. But as the clarity settled in, I realised she wasn’t there. My heart sank, disappointment crashing over me like icy waves. This was just a figment of my mind, a desperate dream conjured from the depths of my longing.Confusion tangled with grief, leaving me disoriented and unsettled. Where was I? What had happened? I tried to push myself up but found my limbs heavy as if weighed down by invisible chains. Panic surged through me, fluttering in my chest like a frantic bird desperate to escape its cage.I scanned my surroundings, the muted light casting long shadows. The walls around me appeared rough, crumbling concrete that groaned under the w
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. “
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 I stepped further into the room, senses hyper-alert, scanning for any sign of danger. The figure lay still, and for a heartbeat, I feared someone might need our help—or worse, succumbed to whatever wrath had brought us here. "Stay behind me," I instructed softly, keeping my voice steady even as adrenaline surged through my veins. As I edged closer to the figure, I could finally make out the familiar features of my brother, Enzo. His face was pale, and his usually vibrant blue eyes were closed, but there was no mistaking him. Relief and dread mixed in my gut like a heavy poison. "Enzo!" I called, my voice stronger now. My brother stirred slightly, a groan escaping his lips as he slowly opened his eyes, squinting against the dim light. "Rylan?" he croaked, confusion flickering across his expression. "What's going on? Where are we? Where is Rio and Ed? I rushed to his side, dropping to my knees next to him. "I don't know, but I'm glad you're here. We need to get
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
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
