Zach’s POV“Over the past day, I’ve had an increase in my commitment to personal growth and the steps I’ve taken to become a better person should be significant to help me prove that I still love your daughter and I would never let what happened in the past repeat itself again. “I acknowledge the importance of accountability and I am wrong for doing what I did at the altar so to make amends I’m begging not only Kayla but to you as her family. I apologize for my stupid actions.”Slowly, the family's skepticism began to wane, replaced by a glimmer of hope and understanding as the man’s face lost its frown and was replaced with that of worry. It was clear they saw a genuine desire for redemption in my eyes, and though the path to forgiveness was far from certain, at least they recognized the potential for growth and healing.“I would have liked to call out Kayla but she won’t show up. She’s decided to lock herself in her room since that day and she has refused to show up. She won’t eve
Zach’s POVThis man was becoming a pain in my butt and he knew there was nothing I could do to him.He was immune to anything I would throw at him.“We need to talk,” he said as I entered but I didn’t want to talk with him. I had a little problem of my own called war to take care of. His problems could wait until I had dealt with what I had in my possession.“Can we do this later?” I removed the jacket I had on and tossed it on the bed. “I’ve got a war brewing by the border.”“The elders and I were talking and…”That statement had me laughing.“The same elders I’m punishing?”“Zach, please stop this madness. You are making enemies and you don’t even know it yet.”“The moment they started getting involved in my romantic interest they turned into my enemies. I am ready for war if that’s what they want but they should not forget this is my pack. I have the last word and they are just subjects. They should not overstep their boundaries or they will regret it.”The man stayed silent as I c
Willow’s POVI tried leading her in a conversation but it didn’t happen which had me worrying about her but I was not about to give up.Twenty minutes into the conversation, the door opened up and she stepped out with her face swollen up from crying.I could tell she had been crying since she had been in her room. We talked for a few minutes to which I consoled her but it wasn’t enough. She had already become a shadow of herself and she didn’t want to meet anyone who would shame her for being dumped at the altar.Since father wasn’t home, we walked to the kitchen where I served her first meal after two days.She wolfed it down and asked for another serving which I handed to her.I saw her color come back and after she was done eating, she was happier.“The alpha showed up today,” I said but she didn’t want to hear me say it.“I never want anything to do with him,” she said with hatred in her eyes. “I want to be away from him. I don’t want him anywhere near me. So even if he begs till
Zach’s POVWhile driving through the woods, I found some broken down trucks with shattered windows as dead warriors from my pack laid in them.I could not hear any heartbeat as I drove through the three shattered trucks and my face squeezed with rage.Those rogues were nearing their end.I didn’t mind killing if that would mean a peaceful end to them.Just then, something bounced off the truck as I looked back to see the van had shown up again and this time, they were shooting at us.“Do we shoot back?” Mateo asked but I shook my head.“That would be a waste of bullets and I doubt we would do anything to them anyway. But we will have a shot if we get to the base and hide with the warriors while they take care of the threats.”He nodded while I picked up the radio and talked to the general at the base, informing him of my arrival.“We await your arrival alpha,” he said before I dropped the radio and focused on driving.With adrenaline coursing through my veins, I maneuvered the armored
Zach’s POV“Are you all fucking kidding me?” Sighed Mateo as he got out of the car. He was visibly annoyed. “We had our asses chased like this was a fast and furious movie and you all show up now?”“Apologies sir Mateo,” a general joined us. “We were tending to the wounded while also engaging with some of the rogues in the west, the east and the north.”While he was talking, a missile found its way flying into our midst as my quick thinking kicked in.“Look out!” I yelled before zipping into the missile. When I got into its range, I grabbed it, turned it around and flung it back where it came from as I watched it explode in the distance.I looked around to see if everyone was okay before waving to my general.“Is everyone okay?” I asked with everyone responding positively. “Where’s the bunker? It isn’t safe here to make plans.”“Right this way, alpha,” the general nodded, taking Mateo and I down a flight of stairs underground before we walked through a dimly lit tunnel.“I hope we fin
Zach’s POVI watched them work with a sense of urgency, knowing that our lives and the safety of everyone depended on their efficiency.“Is there something on your mind alpha?” The general asked as I nodded.“I feel like Mateo might be onto something.”He looked around to see if anyone had heard me before inching closer to me.“My sources say that the people in the villages could be a decoy but this could also be false that is why I didn’t trust the information.”“And you’re telling me this now?” I was already mad at the man.“If we blow this place up, we could risk having more problems on our hands. The pack here is a relatively small pack with around two hundred wolves. We don’t want to be known as the pack who killed innocents just because we were too lazy to go against the rogues like the wolves we were.”An explosion cut him off as we looked at the television to catch glimpses of the chaos unfolding beyond our walls. Explosions lit up the dark forest, casting an eerie glow on th
Zach’s POV“You, help the woman!” I yelled to a corporal who nodded and helped an injured warrior out of the field before I looked around for Mateo.“Has anyone seen Mateo?!” I yelled but I couldn’t find him. No one knew where he was. Where had he gone to?I was forced into focusing on the battle when I heard more howls as more rogues joined the battle.The rogue faction had grown in number, threatening to overrun the territory but I refused to let that happen.With my exceeding might, I carved a path through the enemy ranks, my mind flashing back to the day this conflict began. It was an ordinary day, much like any other, until the rogues emerged from the shadows, tearing through our pack security and going forth like they owned the place. They sought to bring destruction and chaos, driven by their own twisted ideologies. But I stood against them, determined to protect my people and restore peace to our home.If I stopped them at this border and took their leader hostage, I stood a
Zach’s POVI would bring this Victor down if he kept this up and I would not even care if he came up to me with poisoned tips. I would make sure he was brought down with my weapons.I even resorted to throwing shurikens when we came in contact with each other just to maintain a certain distance between us.He resorted to union grenades which blew up my leg but healed in seconds as I went back to fighting with the wolf.He was strong, I would admit, but he was still not up to my level.With each injury we had, we healed within seconds and kept on tearing through each other As the battle raged on, our surroundings became a blur as we used our speed recklessly.I even lost control at some point falling into my own warrior as I regained my footing and carried a tank which I threw to the man. He didn’t see it coming but when it got to him in a moment he tried dodging it in a split second reaction which failed.I watched him fall to the ground with the truck falling on him.“You bastard,”
