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. Congratulations my lord"I stood there, dumbfounded, as the doctor delivered the news that Evelyn was pregnant. My mind raced, trying to process the reality of the situation. Deep down, I knew that the child was mine, a result of that unplanned incident we had shared. But I never anticipated that she would conceive.Mixed emotions flooded my being, creating a
Dante's POV"Congratulations man, I am happy for you," Drake said giving me a handshake after I broke the news of Evelyn's pregnancy."Thank you," I said giving him a soft Pat on the shoulder."So what are your plans now, remember she is your fake queen," Drake asked curiously."I am going to take full responsibility, I will marry her" I replied calmly, the thought of marrying another woman who is not Vanessa makes me sick but I know Evelyn deserves better."Wow, but what about Vanessa?" As Drake's words sank in, my mind became a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. Part of me desperately wanted to hold onto the hope that Vanessa was still out there, alive and waiting for me. I could feel that flicker of optimism burning inside me, urging me to keep searching, to never give up.But at the same time, another part of me was gripped by fear. The thought of never seeing Vanessa again, of never hearing her laughter or feeling
Willow's POVI could feel the weight of sadness and determination in the air as I sat in the dimly lit room, completely absorbed in my spellwork. This spell had become my refuge, a way to distract myself from the pain of Dante's betrayal.As I carefully arranged the ingredients on the table, memories of our journey together flooded my mind. It felt like a lifetime ago when I had saved him from those witches, our paths intertwining in a twist of fate. Despite our differences, our love blossomed, transcending the boundaries of our supernatural identities.But now, everything has changed. Dante had cast me aside, choosing another woman over me. The pain was still fresh, and raw, and it seemed impossible to escape the thoughts of him that consumed my mind.

Willow’s POV“Willow please not today,” Dante said as he leaned against the door looking exhausted.“You betrayed me, Dante!

Drake's POVAs I lay on my bed, my mind raced with thoughts of my next move. I had finally managed to divert Dante's attention towards his marriage with Evelyn, creating the perfect opportunity for me to make my move and claim the throne that had always been out of my reach. For far too long, I had lived in Dante's shadow, watching him possess everything I desired. But now, it was my turn to gather everything he held dear right under his nose, without him suspecting a thing.I already have some elders by my side, I remember the last meeting we had and Dante almost caught us but we were so quick to divert his attention to the witches. ***Flashback**"We already have four votes in your Favour, my lord. But we need more" one of the elders said."And you also need support from other Alpha, in case he wants to wedge a war," another elder said."What about the others?

It was a complicated situation, but I didn't care.

Slowly, my surroundings came into focus, and I noticed that my hand was connected to a drip.As I looked up, I saw Dante, Drake, and the doctor all gathered around me, their faces filled with concern. Something was wrong, and their expressions confirmed it. I instinctively reached up to touch my head and felt the presence of a bandage there.

Vanessa’s POV"Dan, come here!" I called out to my son, his laughter filling the room as he darted around, full of energy.

Dante's entrance into the room, carrying our son as they played together, brought a sense of joy and relief to the chaotic moment.“Please bring that naughty boy here,” I said as I sat on the floor trying to catch my breath after the whirlwind of chasing Dan around.“No, we don't want to wear your clothes” Dante replied jokingly, I couldn't help but smile at the sight before me.

Our relationship had weathered many storms, filled with moments of love, hurt, forgiveness, and betrayal.I recalled the countless times I had forgiven Evelyn for her actions, always finding a way to mend our fractured bond. But this time, it was different. When she dared to threaten my child, a line was crossed that shattered any remaining semblance of forgiveness.

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.

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.

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
