Alex's POV“Stupid branch,” I cursed under my breath and grabbed it then threw it hard with anger. After a while, I left the forest after it got dark. I wasn't in my right state of mind to hunt. It was dark when I got back in. The whole house was back to normal like nothing happened earlier. The broken tables had been replaced and the broken glasses were swept already. I went to Alexis room hoping everything was just a bad dream but she wasn't in her room. I went back to my room.I collapsed into my bed. All through the night, I found it so hard to sleep. I lay on my bed wide awake all through the night. My heart and mind kept racing but my eyelids were heavy with fatigue. I was the reason Alpha Kane took Alexis away. I shouldn't have left her all alone. My guts told me something was wrong but I ignored it and went ahead to pick my parents. The thought of calling Julia and Richard my parents now disgusts me. I was restless and couldn't help but keep tossing and turning on my bed. Even
Alex's POVThe room felt too small, too suffocating. My parents, the people who were supposed to be looking out for me, for Alexis and the worst part was, they didn’t even seem to care about the pain they were causing. “No…” I said, my voice shaking. “No, I’m not going along with this. I’m not giving up Alexis just because you think it’s okay. You two are out of your mind and I will make sure I get to the source of it all.”“I don’t care!” I shouted, cutting her off, my anger boiling over. “I don’t care what you think this is about. You can talk all you want about responsibility and duty, but I’m not giving up Alexis. I’m not letting Alpha Kane take her. I’m going to get her back, and if you try to stop me, if you even think about getting in my way, I’ll make sure you regret it.” I added with my voice a little raised.Richard took a step forward, but I didn’t give him a chance to say anything. I turned and stormed out of the room, my blood boiling with anger. I left the house and st
Alex's POVFor a moment, Anton just stared at me, his eyes widening in shock. “Wait, what?” he finally said. “Your mate? And they’re not your real parents? Alex, what are you talking about?”I swallowed hard, forcing myself to keep talking. “It’s true. I didn’t want to believe it at first, but the signs are all there. Julia and Richard… I confronted them but they did not deny it. They’ve been lying to us our whole lives. And now Alexis has been kidnapped by Alpha Kane.”Anton’s expression shifted from shock to disbelief. “Kidnapped? By Alpha Kane?”I nodded, my fingers tightened around the cup but I tried my best not to break it. “Yes. They’ve been planning this for a long time, I guess. They want me to be the Alpha. They’re trying to force me to choose someone else. They even suggested I call Gena back.”Anton let out a low growl, his hands balling into fists. “This is insane, Alex. I knew something was off about Kane, but I never imagined… I can’t even believe your parents would agr
Alex's POVA cold dread settled in my gut as I thought hard. This wasn’t just an attack on the pack. I noticed the head of the Rogues howled like a signal to the rest and they immediately retreated. I stood and stared at the aftermath of the battle. My breathing was heavy and my body trembled with exhaustion. I saw the bodies of familiar faces. Some were wounded and some dead, they were all scattered around. Some people were trying to put out the fires in their homes. The tension of the chaos was still in the air. My mind was racing and trying to put the pieces of the attack together. Normally, Rogues try to attack packs when they know the pack is at its weakest. But this attack had been too coordinated, mostly Rogues were always irrational and didn't go by rules. They took us unaware and bypassed all the security set in place. They knew we were vulnerable, still mourning the death of our Alpha and the Alpha died without an heir. “Check for survivors,” I heard Gamma Hilliard comman
Alex's POVI was back in the battle, my paws were bloody. I could hear wailing around me and some familiar pack members trying to reach out to me crying for help. I had wounds of different claw marks and my fur was stained with my own blood. I tried to transform but my wolf was gone and my body felt heavy. A Rogue was coming close in an attempt to cut me open with its claws. I tried to call for help but my voice wasn't audible. The wolf came closer and suddenly it transformed into a human form. I was shocked to see Alpha Kane's face, he was in blood rage, his face twisted into pure evil. I woke up with my heart racing, my bedsheets were drenched in sweat.By morning, we had received the call to gather at the burial ground by nightfall. The message was clear: we had to say our final goodbyes to those who had fallen, especially the four elders who died during the Rogue attack. The pack was quiet, and this ceremony was meant to bring us together, to honor the dead. I dressed in black l
Alex's POV I walked away not minding I was leaving them hanging without a response. I didn't want to create a scene. I wouldn't want the few pack members left to know what was happening in my family. The pack was still in tension. Everyone was fully alert. The pack was now on lockdown since the Rogue attack, with no one in or out, every entrance guarded. The sudden attack had shaken us to our core, and the fear of another attack might happen again.I sat in my room, staring at the walls, the silence was all I needed to think clearly. My thoughts kept returning to Alexis, to the last time I saw her before she was taken. The helplessness I felt ate at me, a constant reminder that I’d failed to protect her. Now, with the pack on lockdown, it felt like my hands were tied even tighter.I needed to do something or anything to keep myself from overthinking. That’s when I thought of Anton. He was the only one I trusted enough to confide in, the only one who might be able to help me find a w
Alexis’ POVThe day went by and it all felt the same. I was stuck in this tiny room with no way out of it. The walls felt like they were closing in on me. The loneliness and silence were kicking in really hard, except for the occasional footsteps outside. I had no idea how long I'd been trapped, it could have been days or weeks because I didn't even try to keep track of time. When the first maid brought me food, I tried to talk to her but she just looked at me as if she had words to say but she couldn't voice them out and left without saying a word. Every day, different maids brought me food. But none of the maids ever spoke. I was desperate for communication as loneliness was eating me away.Today was no different. The maid, a different one this time, entered the room quietly, carrying a tray with what I assumed was lunch. The scent of the food was meant to entice me but it did nothing. I was too tired, too drained mentally to care. “Please,” I whispered, “Are we in the Alpha's hou
Alpha Kane’s POVI made my way to my private chambers, my study room to be precise. The memories of Alexis' struggles were playing in my mind and I can’t help but smile. I love women who like to struggle or act like they can’t be submissive to me. I can’t wait to have her, taste her and fondle her breast. She was mine now and I’m not in a rush to have her. I want to break her and make her submissive to me first. She has a curvy figure, with slender hips and waist that I can’t help but imagine my hands around it while I pull her closer. Her bust was full and round. She has a lip that is so inviting and her eyes sparkled like diamonds. She is beautiful. I got to my study room and sat on my chair. I tried to focus on past events that had happened and things going on in the pack yet my mind kept drifting back to Alexis. Despite everything that had happened, I couldn’t help but smile at the memory of what happened in the room she was in. Her stubbornness, her fire, and the way she had la
