Dante's POV "Alpha Dante something terrible has happened," Aphrodite said panicking as she burst into the room urgently, her breathing was fast and her body trembling which made me wonder what could have happened."Calm down, and tell me what's going on," I asked calmly as I stood up from the bed, my heart pounding in my chest. Confusion clouded my mind as I tried to comprehend the urgency in her eyes."You might want to see it yourself my lord," Aphrodite said avoiding my gaze, what could be so bad that she couldn't say it herself?

When we were almost at the palace gate I was taken aback
Dante's POV"I was of the opinion we adhere to their condition the last time but you refused now see what is going on," one of the elders said angrily, I turned and looked at him surprised that he could even suggest we give out our own just to make peace. "How about we start from your household since you are so desperate to damn fifty lycan generations to those miserable creatures" another elder shot back."What do you mean start from my household, I only brought a suggestion" I just sat there as I watched them argue about the next step to take, I called upon the elders, hoping to find a solution to the pandemic plaguing our pack.

Sitting there, my heart grew heavy with worry and confusion.Thoughts raced through my mind, a whirlwind of concern and frustration. How could they lose sight of the pressing issue we faced?

Excitement and worry mingled within me, creating a whirlwind of emotions that threatened to overwhelm my senses. The forbidden nature of our relationship hung heavily in the air, adding an extra layer of intensity to our clandestine meeting. My heart raced, torn between the joy of seeing her and the fear of the consequences she might face if discovered.A rush of affection washed over me as I closed the door behind me, my footsteps echoing in the silent room. Willow's presence filled me with a sense of comfort and familiarity, like a warm embrace after a long day. But beneath that warmth, a flicker of anxiety danced in my chest, reminding me of the risks we were taking."Why are you so shocked to see me?"

And it was all my fault if I had just listened to my parent and married Dante things would have been different now.“Take care, my lady, call Annabel if you need help,” Kilan said after putting on his clothes, he gave me a forceful kiss on the lips before heading out of the room.As I L
Vanessa’s POV“My lady that dress looks very beautiful on you,” Aphrodite said as I walked out of my dress area, I had called her to help me prepare my bath and to keep me company since Dante had been gone for a while and hadn't returned.“Thank you, Aphrodite, just out of curiosity how did you guys know my size before I was brought to the palace” I asked as I saw the perfect fitting of the dress through the mirror, I couldn't help but wonder how they knew my perfect size.“Actually we didn't, your wardrobe was arranged the day you came, there is a palace stylist in charge of stuff like that” she answered with a smile on her face.“That makes sense,” I said as I sat on the edge of the bed.“Why don't you go for a stroll my lady, you've been in the room long stuff” Aphrodite suggested, I was confused by her suggestion, didn't she know about the epidemic in the pack?“I can't do that even if I want to, Dante had strictly warned me to remain in the room because of the sickness spreading”
Evenly’s POV My heart was beating in my chest as I stood outside Alpha Dante palace, contemplating whether I should go inside or not, this place was my only hope after my parents rejected me. A mix of fear, regret, and disbelief coursing through my veins. The weight of my parents' disapproval and anger hung heavy in the air, suffocating me. How did everything go so wrong? How did I end up here, standing alone, abandoned by the ones who were supposed to support and love me unconditionally?Tears streamed down my face as I replayed the events of that fateful day in my mind, after I had managed to escape from Alpha Kilan my parent looked me in the eyes and told me that I wasn’t their daughter.

Chapter 40Vanessa’s POV“My lord, I was just leaving,” Aphrodite said bowing her head to Dante before leaving the room, while I just stood there confused and dumbfounded, I couldn’t believe what was happening, my sister coming back to take her rightful place, she doesn't even have a place in this palace to begin with.Fury ignited within me as I replayed those words.

How could my sister come into my house and make such a bold statement? The audacity of it all fueled my anger even more.Feelings of betrayal washed over me. I couldn't help but think back to the time when I was forced to marry him because of my sister’s drastic decision. She had made that decision for herself, believing it was the right thing to do. And now, here she was, trying to take my husband away from me.“What is going on here?” Alpha Dante repeated when we both did n
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. Seeing Dante and Dan together, their laughter harmonizing in the air, filled my heart with warmth and gratitude.At that mo
Dante’s POV“Vanessa please stay with me, please” I pleaded with tears rolling down my eyes, I felt like it was my fault. “Will be at the hospital soon, I promise” I said as I quickly scooped Vanessa up from the floor, her body limp and blood staining her clothes.

Without hesitation, he took Vanessa from my arms, his swift actions matching the gravity of the situation.Together, we rushed back to the safety of the pack, every step feeling like a battle against time.

Vanessa’s POV“I am not sorry Evelyn, you deserve everything you have, I won't let you come for my child and go Scot free,” I said as I stood over her lifeless body on the floor, the forest felt heavy with the weight of what had transpired. Evelyn's once vibrant spirit is now gone. Despite the finality of the moment, an unexpected calm settled within me, replacing the expected waves of remorse. 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.

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. Willow's orders loomed in our minds, she had asked me and Lilian to head to
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. The tension in the air was palpable, and Aphrodite seemed to sense it too, jumping up as soon as she saw me, ready to act."You're going with Dan right now," I instructed, and without hesitation, she started gathering their things, understanding the seriousness of the situation without needing to ask questions. 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
