Dante's POVAs I slowly opened my eyes, a pounding pain throbbed through my head as if a heavy weight had been placed upon it. Confusion washed over me as I surveyed my surroundings. This room, it wasn't mine. Panic began to rise within me as I realized something was off.I instinctively placed my hands on my head, hoping to alleviate the pain and make sense of the situation. The room was dimly lit, casting shadows that danced across the unfamiliar walls. And then, my gaze fell upon the figure lying next to me, covered in a blanket. It was Evelyn, and from what I could see, we were both unclothed.A mix of shock, disbelief, and a tinge of embarrassment washed over me like a tidal wave. How did I end up here?

With bated breath, I waited for the perfect moment to unveil my ruse.

Evelyn’s POV“My lady, what would you like for dinner?” Lilian asked calmly.“Just get me whatever is left,” I said to Lilian as I lay on the bed, my mind was consumed by the events of the past week. The incident with Dante had left me feeling uncertain about our future. He had promised to marry me, but his silence when I mentioned Vanessa spoke volumes. I couldn't shake the feeling that he was still holding on to her, unable to move on.The weight of my doubts and insecurities pressed down on me, making it hard to breathe. I knew I needed to do something to make Dante take our relationship seriously, to make him see that I was worth choosing over Vanessa. And that's when the idea of dropping the bombshell hit me with the "I am pregnant" card.It wasn't an easy decision to make. The child I was carrying wasn't Dante's, but I couldn't deny the desperation inside me, the need for him to commit fully to our relationship. I hoped that the news of a baby would be enough to make him realize
Dante's POV"Is she okay now doctor?" I asked the doctor, my back relaxed on my office chair, and my mind filled with worry."She is fine my lord, feeling dizzy is common for her condition" the doctor replied plainly but I couldn't help but wonder what condition he was talking about. The last I checked Evelyn was Hale and healthy."What condition doctor?" I asked letting my curiosity get the better of me."She is pregnant, I think a week or two weeks pregnant" the doctor replied his face devoid of any emotion."What!!" I exclaim as I stand up from my chair."I thought you knew my lord, I am sorry for breaking the news like this.

Evelyn’s POVI crept through the corridors of the palace with Lilian, our footsteps silent as whispers in the empty halls. The usual bustle and chatter were conspicuously absent, leaving an eerie silence that sent shivers down my spine. The air felt heavy with anticipation, a foreboding sense of the unknown hanging over us like a dark cloud.Lilian and I exchanged a glance, our eyes mirroring the confusion and concern that gnawed at our thoughts. Where had everyone disappeared to? The emptiness of the palace was unsettling, a stark deviation from its usual lively atmosphere. The absence of guards and servants only deepened the mystery, fueling my growing unease.“Where is everyone?” I asked Lilian, my voice almost like a whisper.“I don't know…. Let's check Dante’s room” Lilian suggested and with a shared understanding, we wordlessly agreed to press on, our mission clear despite the unsettling circumstances.

Vanessa’s POVMy heart was racing as I dashed into the room, knowing that time was slipping away, and the witches could strike at any moment. My main concern was my child's safety, so I had to get him to Elijah's pack where I knew he'd be protected. When I entered the room, I saw him happily playing with Aphrodite.

It was a moment of swift action and intense emotions, but I knew I had to keep a clear head to ensure my child's safety.“What about you?” Aphrodite asked when she was done parking,“Dante needs me, let's go,” I said to Aphrodite as I quickly carried Dan and headed downstairs with Aphrodite behind me.“I wasn't able to inform Elijah that you would be coming but imme
Dante's POVI sat in my office, surrounded by the chaos of my thoughts. It had been days since I initiated the search for the werewolf marked by the crescent moon. Deep down, I held onto the belief that this individual held the key to saving my pack from the impending threat posed by the witches. Despite our strength as Lycans, we were no match for an army of enraged witches. Finding the bearer of the crescent moon was crucial, but the challenge lay in not knowing where to even begin this daunting task. My search party wasn't yeiding any result.“Find the bearer of the cresent moon” The elder's words echoed in my mind, indicating that this person belonged to another pack, which is making it hard to find them, because they are many packs and I don't know where to start from.As I pondered my next move, a mix of frustration and determination knotted within me. The weight of responsibility for my pack's safety pressed heavily on my shoulders, urging me to push forward despite the uncert
Willow's POVAs I sat there in my room my eyes fixed on the intricate map of Dante Palace spread out before me. Each detail, each building, and each hidden passage was meticulously studied. The weight of responsibility pressing down on my shoulders, knowing that our success hinged on the perfection of this plan. The silence of the room was broken only by the sound of flipping pages and the occasional creak of the old floorboards beneath my feet. The urgency of the situation fueled my determination. We had to strike swiftly, without a hint of our impending attack. I knew Dante wasn't a fool, he knows that we are going to attack but what he doesn't know is when we were going to attack.Suddenly I heard a knock on the door and with a deep breath, I folded the map, tucking it safely into my pocket. "Come in," I said to the person at the other side of the door."Not expecting you," I said as the door swung open, revealing Evelyn standing there, sweat glistening on her skin, a silent testa
Dante’s POV“Are you okay?” I asked Vanessa, the look on her face showed that she was surprised about the color change also.“Yes….I mean I feel fine….maybe it….”Suddenly I heard a knock on the door “Who is that” I asked “My Lord” I heard the voice of my head guard “there is something you need to see”“Not right now.… I am busy” I replied my attention fixed on the white strand of hair. “I am sorry my lord, but this can't wait” he replied plainly.“Go….I am fine” Vanessa said with a smile on her face.“Are you sure?” I asked and she nodded positively, I kissed her on the chin before leaving.“This better be important,” I said as I trailed my head guard, my mind racing with anticipation. I was certain whatever he had to show me was connected to the witches, the ongoing challenge that had consumed our attention for weeks. But I knew I couldn't give up because the safety of Vanessa and my son, now part of the pack, was paramount. I knew I had to do whatever it took to shield them from
