Danciana's Point Of ViewI couldn't believe that Danciana would do such a thing to me. I mean, if she could save me from the hands of the people that kidnapped me, why would she kidnap me again? It was bewildering, to say the least. The fact that she didn't approve of my connection with Alpha Dante was clear, but to resort to such extreme measures was beyond comprehension. Beta Liu had warned me about the potential dangers of this situation, but I had foolishly brushed his concerns aside. Now, as I found myself trapped, I couldn't help but regret not heeding his advice.But what stung even more was the realization that my own stepmother, of all people, had orchestrated this. The person who was supposed to protect and care for me had betrayed me in the most unimaginable way. And Casey, a childhood friend whom I had shared secrets and dreams with, was now a co-conspirator in this sinister plan. It was like a nightmare I couldn't wake up from.Vivian, too, had somehow been involved. She
Danciana's Point Of ViewI couldn't believe it. Alpha Dante had been missing for hours, and none of the guards seemed to have a clue about his whereabouts. Frustration and worry churned within me as I paced back and forth in my room. It was as if the walls were closing in on me, and I couldn't just wait around any longer.I quickly shed my elegant gown for more practical attire, opting for jeans and a fitted black top. I needed to take matters into my own hands. This was Alpha Dante we were talking about, and I couldn't just sit idly by while he was missing.Hurrying through the grand hallways of the pack's mansion, I spotted Mark, a guard I was familiar with. "Mark!" I called out, my voice tinged with urgency. "I need your help. Alpha Dante is missing."Mark's eyes widened in surprise, and I could tell he was taken aback by the news. "Missing? Are you sure, Danciana?"I nodded vehemently, my heart racing in my chest. "Yes, Mark, I'm sure. None of the guards seem to know where he went
Aurelia's Point of View:I was trembling, my heart pounding wildly as Angela's reassuring gaze settled on me. She was a complete stranger, yet in the span of a few moments, she had become my lifeline. Her hand rested gently on my shoulder, her touch warm and soothing. "Are you feeling okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.I managed a weak nod, my voice barely a whisper. "I... I'm not sure," I stammered, my eyes welling up with tears. The ordeal I had just been through had left me shaken to the core.Angela's expression softened, a compassionate smile gracing her lips. "It's alright. You're safe now," she assured me, her words like a lifeline that I clung to desperately."Thank you," I murmured, my voice quivering with gratitude. Her kindness was a beacon of hope in the darkness that had enveloped me.With a reassuring pat on my shoulder, Angela rose from her seat. "Why don't you have a seat here? I'll go prepare some hot water for you to take a bath. It'll help you relax," s
Danciana's Point Of View:My phone suddenly emitted a soft beep, pulling my attention away from the book I had been reading. I picked up the device and glanced at the screen, my heart skipping a beat as I saw Dylan's name. I tapped on the message icon and opened the text, my eyes scanning the words he had sent:"Hello Danciana, good day. I hope you're okay. It's been a while since we last met and that's very strange. You used to be so concerned about knowing where Aurelia was held hostage. And when you found out, you were so determined to rescue her with me, so what has changed? Is it until my mom Genevieve, takes Aurelia to another hidden place? We can't continue to let my mum have her way."His words hit me like a tidal wave, memories of the past rushing back. Aurelia, the girl who had been kidnapped and whose rescue had brought Dylan and me together. My mind raced as I thought about how I had pretended to be concerned, putting on a show for him so that he wouldn't suspect my true i
Danciana's POV:As I sat in the passenger seat of Dylan's car, my heart raced with anticipation. The plan was in motion, and I needed to execute it flawlessly. "Hey, Dylan," I began, my voice steady despite the nervous butterflies swirling in my stomach. "Would you mind dropping me off at the supermarket? I forgot to pick up something earlier, and it's been on my mind."Dylan glanced at me, a warm smile playing on his lips. "Of course, Danciana. No problem at all. I'm glad I can help. Just let me know when you're ready to head back.""Thank you so much, Dylan. You're a lifesaver," I replied, my words layered with gratitude that masked the ulterior motive behind my request. As he pulled up in front of the supermarket, I reached for the door handle, my heart pounding. "I won't be long," I assured him, giving him a reassuring smile.Dylan nodded and leaned over to give me a quick hug. "Take your time. I'm just worried about Aurelia. I hope she'll be okay. We'll find her."I returned the
Beta Liu's Point of View:I couldn't quite wrap my head around why my sister Danciana felt the need to call me out of the blue, her voice laden with urgency, and inquire if Aurelia had returned. It had been a substantial stretch of time since Aurelia, Alpha Dante's mate, had fled our pack. The very notion of her return seemed absurd, and Danciana's words left me incredulous. She mentioned something about hearing rumors of Aurelia's possible reappearance, and that in itself sounded preposterous. But the doubt had taken root, and I found myself compelled to investigate, despite my reservations.Yet, I was acutely aware that openly questioning the pack members about Aurelia's whereabouts would stir up old wounds, ones that had barely begun to heal. I considered the potential consequences if word reached Alpha Dante that I was entertaining the idea of Aurelia's return based on mere speculation. His heart had been shattered once by her departure, and I couldn't bear the thought of him bein
Danciana's Point Of ViewI gazed at Danciana, a mixture of emotions swirling within me as I tried to maintain a composed expression. With a faint smile, I finally found my voice and asked, "Danciana, could you please explain to me why you kidnapped me?"Danciana's eyes met mine, a hint of remorse in her gaze. She took a deep breath before responding, "Aurelia, I wasn't the first person to kidnap you. It was your stepmom, Genevieve. She sedated you and took you away."My eyes widened in shock, the revelation hitting me like a tidal wave. "Genevieve?" I repeated, disbelief lacing my words. "But why would she do that?"Danciana's expression grew somber as she continued, "She wanted to get rid of you, to eliminate you as a threat to her claim on the pack. But when I found out about it, I couldn't let her succeed."I swallowed hard, memories resurfacing of waking up in an unfamiliar place, the hushed conversations I had overheard. "I woke up eventually," I confessed, my voice trembling sli
Aurelia's Point Of ViewAs I walked away from my encounter with Danciana, I couldn't help but scoff at her feeble attempt to deceive me. She thought I was stupid enough to believe her lies? No, I was onto her game. It was crystal clear that her obsession with Alpha Dante was what led her to kidnap me in the first place. Her twisted version of love had driven her to these desperate measures.As I entered Angela's house, I found her sitting there, waiting for me with an inquisitive look on her face. "Aurelia, is she gone?" Angela asked, her concern evident in her voice.I nodded slowly, my lips curling into a knowing smile. "Yes, she's gone," I replied, my voice dripping with a mix of confidence and slyness.Angela's brow furrowed as she leaned forward. "How did she even know you were here?" she inquired, her eyes searching mine for answers.I let out a soft chuckle, shaking my head slightly. "Oh, Angela, Danciana didn't know I was here," I explained, my tone laced with amusement. "In f
Aurelia's Point Of ViewI took a deep breath, my heart heavy with the burden of forgiveness and reconciliation. "Dante," I began, "I know that Vivian was involved in what happened to me, and I can't deny the pain and betrayal I felt. But I also know that she was manipulated by Genevieve, just as I was."Dante regarded me with a mixture of pride and concern. "Aurelia, forgiveness is a noble path, but it's not always easy. Are you sure this is what you want?"I nodded firmly, my resolve unwavering. "Yes, Dante. I believe that forgiveness can heal wounds and strengthen bonds. Vivian was once a dear friend, and I want to offer her a chance to make amends. Maybe, in doing so, we can rebuild the trust we once shared."Dante's expression softened, and he gently squeezed my shoulder. "You have a compassionate heart, my love. If that is your wish, then we shall go to Vivian and extend our forgiveness."Tears of gratitude welled up in my eyes as I embraced my mate. It was a step toward healing
Danciana's Point Of View I found myself standing at the edge of the dense forest, hidden in the cloak of shadows, my heart racing like a wild stallion. The tantalizing whispers of intrigue had reached my ears, carried by the winds of gossip that blew through our pack like a tempest. Alpha Augustine, the unyielding leader of the neighboring pack, had issued an ominous decree—the arrest of Genevieve, Aurelia's stepmother. I couldn't simply ignore the electric curiosity that surged through me. I had to know every detail of what was transpiring.With each cautious step, I ventured further into the foreign territory that belonged to our neighboring pack. The scent of unknown wolves hung heavy in the air, a strange and potent mixture with the familiar earthy aroma of the woods. It wasn't long before the clearing came into view, a bustling hub of activity teeming with pack members.My keen eyes roved through the crowd, searching for the familiar faces of my own pack mates. I approached Ezra
Bryan's Point of viewI couldn't believe my eyes. Was that Aurelia? I thought she was dead. So, Genevieve only lied to me. This was unfair. How could I have believed her? I neglected my own daughter so much, and now I feel like the worst father in the world. I felt like I let my own daughter down. I felt like I had ignored her when she needed me the most.My heart pounded in my chest as I walked up to my daughter, each step heavy with the weight of regret and longing."Aurelia," I called out, my voice choked with emotion.She turned towards me, her eyes widening in disbelief, and then she rushed into my arms, embracing me with a warmth that washed away the years of guilt and sorrow. "Father. I missed you so much," she whispered, tears streaming down her cheeks."I'm so sorry, Aurelia," I whispered back, my own tears mixing with hers. "I'm so sorry for neglecting you. I should have watched over you and taken care of you. It's all my fault. I thought I lost you.""You didn't lose me, Da
Genevieve's Point Of ViewI knew I was my own downfall, and no matter what I did, Alpha Augustine would still punish me. All I could do now was to plead with my stepdaughter Aurelia for kidnapping her and trying to kill her. I could be locked up for more than twenty years in a dungeon for my crimes. And I was scared to death that my mate Bryan may find out about Casey being my daughter, which no one knows for the past twenty-three years of her life.As I scanned the crowd, my heart sank as I saw Bryan join the gathering, his eyes filled with concern and curiosity. Panic surged within me, knowing that his presence might unearth the dark secret I had harbored for so long. The thought of losing him, the only source of solace in my turbulent life, was unbearable.Summoning every ounce of courage I had left, I rushed towards Aurelia, my knees hitting the ground hard as I knelt before her, tears streaming down my face. "Aurelia, please," I begged, my voice trembling with desperation. "I'm s
Aurelia's Point Of View:I sat down in my small, dimly lit room, engrossed in the pages of a thrilling novel. The world within the book offered a brief escape from the harsh reality I had been living through. Angela, my loyal and compassionate friend, walked in, her footsteps barely making a sound on the creaky wooden floor. She cleared her throat gently, breaking the silence that enveloped me."Hey, Aurelia," Angela said softly, concern etched into her features. "How are you holding up?"I closed the book and looked up at her, offering a faint but grateful smile. "I'm doing as well as I can, Angela. Thanks to you, I'm safe now."Angela's eyes softened, and she shook her head. "You don't have to thank me, Aurelia. I couldn't let them take you."I nodded, my heart swelling with gratitude for my friend's unwavering support. "I know, but I still appreciate everything you've done for me."Curiosity danced in Angela's eyes as she pulled up a chair and sat down beside me. "So, what's your n
Genevieve's Point Of ViewI was in my car, parked inconspicuously at our usual meeting spot, waiting for Casey. The cold air inside the car did little to alleviate the growing unease in my chest. Each passing second felt like an eternity, and my impatience was getting the best of me.Finally, the car door swung open, and Casey slipped into the passenger seat. Her face was a mosaic of emotions - anxiety, relief, and something else I couldn't quite place. I couldn't hide my irritation as I turned to her, my fingers tapping impatiently on the steering wheel."What took you so long, Casey?" I snapped, my tone sharp and accusatory.Casey's eyes darted around nervously, her lips trembling. "I'm sorry, Genevieve," she stammered, her voice quivering. "I... I couldn't find Vivian at our usual meeting spot."My heart skipped a beat, and a shiver of fear raced down my spine. Panic began to well up within me as I asked, "Are you absolutely sure? Did she say anything about us?"Casey's voice remai
Alpha Dante's Point Of ViewThe moon hung low in the velvety night sky, casting a soft, silvery glow over the secluded forest clearing where Aurelia and I stood. Her presence, so close yet seemingly distant, was like a fragile flame struggling against the encroaching darkness. Her eyes, once bright and full of life, now held a shadow of fear that sent shivers down my spine."Aurelia," I implored, my voice laced with a mixture of desperation and longing. I took a step closer to her, my senses attuned to every nuance of her body language. "You can't keep running from this, from us. You can't hide forever. Come home with me, please."She hesitated, the night breeze ruffling her dark hair as she turned her gaze away from me, as if searching for answers among the stars. "Alpha Dante," she finally spoke, her voice a fragile whisper in the night. "You don't understand. There are people after my life. They won't rest until I'm dead."My heart clenched at the raw fear in her words, the thought
Alpha Dante's Point Of ViewI told Angela that I wanted to see my missing mate Aurelia, since she knows where she is. She told me that Aurelia is in her Pack. I told her to get into the car, and we drove through the dense, moonlit forest. The anticipation was building within me with each passing mile.Angela kept glancing at me, concern etched across her face. "Dante, I didn't expect things to play out like this," she began, her voice quivering with uncertainty. "This is so sudden for Aurelia, and she doesn't know that I've revealed the truth about her rescue and her safety."I tightened my grip on the steering wheel, my knuckles turning white. "What do you mean, Angela? Why wouldn't Aurelia know? Is she in danger?"Angela sighed, her eyes fixed on the winding road ahead. "No, it's not that, Dante. It's just that she's been through so much. She was terrified, wondering what you would think of her after everything she endured."I glanced at Angela, the weight of my actions weighing hea
Angela's Point Of ViewI decided to meet with Alpha Dante and tell him what's really going on. It wasn't just about clearing Aurelia's name; it was about revealing the truth that she never poisoned him and never ran away. I knew it was going to be a tough sell, especially with all the evidence stacked against her. But I couldn't stand by and watch her suffer for a crime she didn't commit.I picked up my phone and dialed Danciana's number. She was not only a close friend but also the pack's trusted doctor. We had worked together countless times, and I knew I could rely on her.When she answered the call, her voice was laced with concern. "Angela, is everything all right? You're not feeling unwell, are you?"I hesitated for a moment, grappling with the weight of the situation. Finally, I replied, "No, Danciana, I'm physically fine. But there's something urgent I need to take care of today. It's a matter of great importance."There was a pause on the other end of the line as Danciana pro
