Landen's POVI left Hannah and Jasper in the ward and sprinted through the corridors of the hospital, my mind filled with fear and confusion. How could my son Jasper have been exposed to the poison called wolfbane? It was a dangerous substance, endangering our home. I needed answers, and quickly too.As I turned a corner, almost ran into a small boy who had been playing with a ball along the hallway. He appeared to be about six or seven years old with black hair and keen, questioning eyes. Wearing the uniform that distinguished his school life he must just have come from school.“Hey there! Be careful,” I said suddenly stopping.“I am sorry sir”, said the boy peering up at me sheepishly. “I didn’t see you.”“It is not your fault,” I answered with a smile twitching at my lips’ corners. “Where are your parents?”“My Daddy is one of the doctors here.” The boy spoke proudly of himself.“My mum will soon arrive to pick me up.”"Your Daddy's a doctor?" I repeated, my curiosity piqued. "What

Anna's POVThe meeting went on and on, every minute dragged like a rabbit in the evening. I glanced at my phone anxiously counting every second till I could leave.Owen wanted to see me at Navian's hospital but there was still this uncomfortable feeling in my stomach.“Anna, are you with us?” my business partner Jessica asked bringing me back into reality.“No, sorry,” I said trying hard to keep my grin apart from myself."I just have a family matter to attend to. Can we wrap this up soon?"Jessica nodded sympathetically. "Of course, we'll make it quick."Finally, the meeting concluded, and I rushed out, dialing Navian as I made my way to the parking lot."Hey, Anna," Navian answered, his voice filled with concern. "Everything okay?""I'm on my way to pick up Owen," I said, my voice tense. "I'm sorry for being late. The meeting took longer than expected.""No problem," Navian replied. "Owen is doing great. He's been playing with some of the nurses. Drive safely.""Thanks, Navian. I'll

Landen's POVI couldn’t avoid the feeling of anxiety as I sat in Navian’s office. The atmosphere of the hospital did not help, and the news about Jasper and his health spiked the tension in me. I looked at Hannah and attempted to sit as calmly as possible, but I clearly did not succeed.Her eyes shifted uneasily around the room, settling for a brief moment on Jasper, who lay in the hospital bed, his thin, frail body inhaling and exhaling regularly. Navian coughed to bring attention back to himself and the matter at hand. “Jasper is going to be fine,” he said to comfort us.“It is a mild fever and most probably caused by a small positive reaction to the wolfsbane that he took into his system might have got into his system by accident, but from now on we have to be more careful. ” “But how did it come in the first place in our house?” I demanded my voice tight with anger and worry.“We don’t have any wolfsbane in our pack lands.”“I’m not sure, but it’s something you need to investiga

As we reached Navian's office, I found Owen sitting on a chair, swinging his legs and chatting happily with a nurse."Mommy!" he screamed, running over to me.I scooped him up, hugged him tightly, and swirled him around which made him giggle. "Hey, sweetheart. Did you have a good day?""Yes! Uncle Navian showed me his office, and I played with some toys," he said excitedly."That's great, baby," I said, kissing his forehead. "Let's get you home."“Hey, Uncle Navian,” I said to Navian, who walked towards us.“Thank you so much, Mr. Landen. You can always get back to me if there’s any issue, but I’m sure the boy will be good,” he said to whoever was on the other side of the phone.Landen? It’s been ages since I heard that name—four years now. Really, I would have loved to glance at the man who has that name. My heart felt like it was being twisted inside.Landen’s face flashed in my head. What would he look like after four years? Since he never searched for me, I guess he is doing perfe

LANDEN’S POVMOONLIGHT PACK"Where are you going?" My voice echoed through the room, laced with a mix of frustration and disbelief.I watched her turn slowly, her expression hardened like I was nothing more than a stranger in her eyes. The sight of her, ready to go, with her bags in hand, felt like a punch to the stomach, but I covered it up with anger.Annabeth didn't answer, just kept moving as if I hadn’t spoken at all. The silence between us once filled with warmth, now felt suffocating. I strode forward, my hand instinctively reaching out to grab hers.She halted, but the fire in her eyes was enough to sear through any remaining hope I had that she might stay."I asked where you are going, Annabeth," I growled, my grip tightening slightly. I needed to hear her say it, to understand why she was walking out on us, on everything we’d built together."To give you both some peace and quiet," she spat, her voice dripping with bitterness. "A moment to enjoy your honeymoon and an heir fo

Gerald, my Beta, stood beside me, discussing the latest developments in the company and the pack.His voice was a steady hum in the background, but my mind wasn’t on the quarterly figures or the pack’s new security measures. It hadn’t been for a while.“Alpha, the new investment looks promising,” Gerald said, tapping a particular document.“We might expect a substantial return at the end of the next quarter.”I nodded absentmindedly; my eyes were flicking over the page but in my mind, I was somewhere else - thinking about her - Annabeth.The name lingered in my head like an old song that had started coming back too often these days.Years since she left; years without her sight. For so long I avoided thinking about her, hiding everything too deep down inside me believing that I had moved on.But recently things had changed; there was kind of a pull that was coming from deep down inside my soul which I couldn’t resist anymore. It was that bond of mates I tried to tear out of my heart b

ANNA’S POV“Anna, you have to run down here,” Rita’s voice shook through the phone and every word she said had panic in it. I became anxious; fear rose and my breathing became faster. “Rita, what is it?” I asked trying to sound as calm as possible although inside of me a storm is brewing. “I hired someone to investigate the whole matter,” She started angrily yet with a hint of unbelievable. ‘Well, who do you think drugged you?” The fact that she asked the question caused my heart to beat louder, the blood pulsing inside my head becoming endearing to the sound of a dangerous and turbulent water current. I gripped the phone harder and prepared myself for the worst. "Who?" “Oh it’s the shameless bastard Alex,” she muttered naming him as if the name was very bitter to her taste. That was the truth that knocked me out, leaving me stunned, gasping for a piece of air. Alex? The man who had been stalking me, proposing to me non-stop? How could he have done this?"What was he planning to

ANNA’S POVI looked at Emily from across the table, the tension in the room was so thick it felt like it was smothering me. Her eyes were bloodshot and she kept wringing her handkerchief, obviously uneasy under my stare.The silence hung like a heavy fog between us full of unstated accusations and unshed tears.At last, I spoke to fill in the gap; my voice calm but bitter with restrained fury.“Emily, why did you do it? Why did you treat me like that?”Emily’s bottom lip quivered as she dropped her gaze onto her palms refusing to look into my eyes.“Anna I… I never meant to. I swear I didn’t. But I was desperate, and… and Alex promised me—”“Promised you what? Money? Influence?” I leaned forward, my tone sharper than I intended. "What could possibly motivate you to betray someone who trusted you—your boss, me?"Emily wiped away the tears that instantly welled up in her eyes as she tried to gather herself.“I needed the money, Anna. I was in debt, and Alex knew that. He offered me mor
