XAVIER’S POV

The moment I stepped out of the shadows and saw Ross standing there, my blood turned to fire. The bastard was inches away from Hannah and Jackson. Coby lay on the ground, bloodied and writhing, but my focus was razor-sharp—my mate, my son.

My family.

Relief and fury collided in my chest, a storm I couldn’t control. They were alive, but Ross’s proximity to them ignited something primal, something savage within me.

Ross turned slowly, his smug smirk faltering for just a heartbeat. His eyes flickered—hesitation. He was expecting me.

Good.

My claws flexed, their sharp points glinting in the dim light. The growl that tore from my throat echoed through the trees, low and guttural. “Don’t tell me you’re scared, Ross,” I snarled, my voice a dangerous rumble. Every word dripped with venom.

Ross tossed Coby aside and straightened, his muscles coiled like a spring. He wiped blood from his lips, his smirk returning, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “Xavier,” he drawled, his tone drippin

    ANDREW’S POVThe fight had been brutal, but we had managed to push them back long enough to chase them away. Some of the Oceanic Pack warriors had surrendered, while others fled as soon as dawn broke.Everything happened so fast that I couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling I had. The retreat order they received during the battle didn’t make sense. Something wasn’t right.My mind immediately shifted to my wife, Lily. Throughout the chaos, she had been the one thing that kept me focused. I needed to see her, to make sure she, her mother, and the rest of our people were safe.I raced through the pack grounds, dodging fallen bodies, my heart pounding in my chest. When I finally spotted Lily near the safe house, my relief was so overwhelming that I almost collapsed with joy.She was searching for me among the warriors gathered outside, her eyes scanning each face until they finally locked onto mine.“Andrew?” Without hesitation, she ran toward me, and I scooped her into my arms, holding her ti

  • My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection   092: Dawn Of Dread

    HANNAH’S POVThe moment Xavier collapsed, my world shattered. My heart stopped, the air ripped from my lungs, and everything around me blurred into a haze of panic. I lunged toward him, desperate to reach his side, but before I could take two steps, a hand tangled in my hair, yanking me back with a force that made my scalp burn.I gasped, my vision swimming, and for a split second, I forgot everything—Jackson, the danger, the chaos. All I could see was Xavier, motionless on the ground, his chest barely rising.“Xavier!” I choked out, my voice breaking.Jackson’s small hands clutched at my leg, his tiny fingers digging into my skin as he cried, “Mommy! Mommy!” His voice was high-pitched, frantic, and it tore at my heart. I reached for him instinctively, but the man holding me tightened his grip, dragging me further away.“Let her go this instant!” Ross’s voice cut through the chaos, cold and sharp. His tone was laced with disgust, and the pressure on my scalp vanished as I was shoved f

  • My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection   093: Terror And Tears

    Hannah’s POV Ross didn’t answer right away. He just smirked, enjoying the fear in my eyes. When we reached a large door, he shoved it open and pushed us inside. I was surprised when I saw the room—it wasn’t a dungeon. It was well-decorated, with neat furniture and a clean, almost luxurious feel. But the dread didn’t go away. I knew that despite the appearance, Ross had no intention of making this comfortable for us. “Get comfortable,” he sneered. “The road ahead is going to be an uneasy one.” Desperate, I tried one last thing. “Think about Laila,” I said, my voice trembling. “What would she say if she were here? Would she be proud of you?” The mention of Laila’s name made him snap. His face twisted in anger, and he let out a furious growl. “Don’t you dare speak her name!” he shouted, his eyes blazing with rage. “If you want to keep breathing, keep her out of this!” The anger in his eyes sent chills through me. I clutched Jackson even tighter, my hands instinctively moving to shie

    XAVIER’S POVConsciousness returned in jagged fragments, each one a sharp stab of pain. My body felt like it had been trampled upon—every muscle screamed, every bone throbbed with aches. The air was heavy, thick with the stench of sweat, blood, and something rotting.Darkness clung to me, pressing down like a weight. For a moment, I wondered if this was what death felt like—cold, suffocating, endless. But the searing ache in my ribs with every shallow breath told me I was still alive. Barely.Memories flickered, disjointed and blurred. The attack. The screams. The blood. And then… Hannah. Jackson. My family. My chest tightened, a sharp, visceral pain that had nothing to do with my injuries. Ross’s smug face flashed in my mind, his laughter echoing in my ears. I’d been so close to ending him. So close. And then… nothing. Just pain and darkness.I groaned, the sound low and guttural, as I tried to move. The cold bite of chains around my wrists stopped me, their metallic clink echoing in

  • My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection   095: Bonfire And Poisoned

    XAVIER’S POVThe guards hauled us out of the cell, the chains biting into my wrists. Their metallic clatter echoed off the damp stone walls. The air was thick with the stench of rot—a nauseating mix of mildew and decay that clung to the back of my throat.My Lycan stirred, a low growl rumbling in my chest, its claws scraping against the edges of my consciousness. It wanted out. It wanted blood. But the poison—whatever they’d pumped into me—still held me in its grip, leaving me weak and trembling.I needed time, strength… but most of all, I needed to know that Hannah and Jackson were okay.As we reached the end of the hallway, the guards pushed us through a large, rusted iron door that led outside. It was dark, and I squinted as my eyes adjusted to the dim light. When they did, I saw Ross standing beside a bonfire, arms crossed, watching with a satisfied smirk as we were dragged before him.Ross’s cold eyes flicked from me to Coby. “Well, look who finally woke up,” he taunted, his voic

  • My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection   096: Hilarious Breakdown

    Hannah's POVThe room felt like a cage, its walls closing in with every step I took. My feet moved restlessly, pacing, searching for a way out that didn’t exist. The windows loomed high above, their glass panes mocking me with the freedom just beyond reach.Outside, it was already dark. The low murmur of guards reminded me we were still trapped. Jackson, sweet and oblivious, lay curled on the bed, his chest rising and falling in the rhythm of sleep.I knelt beside him, brushing a strand of hair from his forehead. My throat tightened. How do I keep him safe? How do I protect my baby from all this?My eyes drifted to the drawer across the room. Something about it pulled at me—a quiet desperation to find answers, to understand. I opened it slowly, the wood creaking softly. Inside, a small photo frame caught the light.I picked it up, my fingers trembling. The girl in the picture—her eyes were Xavier’s. Deep, warm, alive. Her smile was Lily’s, radiant and full of life. But she wasn’t Lily

    ANDREW’S POVRoss’s men had left a trail, and Kas and I followed it as swiftly as possible. Our steps were silent, but our hearts pounded. The closer we got to the Oceanic Pack, the tighter the knot in my stomach twisted. This wasn’t just a mission—it was a suicide run. And yet, we had no choice.Kas moved beside me, his jaw clenched, his eyes scanning the surroundings like a predator. But I could see the tension in his shoulders, the way his fingers twitched at his sides. He was as scared as I was, though he’d never admit it. Neither of us spoke, but the unspoken truth hung between us like a storm cloud: We can’t fail. Not this time.The gates loomed ahead, towering and ominous, guarded by two massive wolves who looked like they’d rather rip us apart than ask questions. My pulse spiked as we approached, my mind racing. Keep it together, Andrew. One wrong word, and we’re dead.“Who goes there?” one guard barked, his voice like a whip crack. His eyes narrowed, scanning us with suspicio

    HANNAH’S POVXavier’s laughter continued to ring out, even as blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. His ribs heaved with the effort, each breath clearly agonizing, but he didn’t stop. It wasn’t the laugh of a man defeated—it was the laugh of someone who knew something Ross didn’t. Something darkly ironic.Ross’s face twisted, his rage boiling over. He stormed forward, his boots crunching against the gravel, and swung his fist hard into Xavier’s jaw. The crack of bone against bone made me flinch, my stomach lurching.Xavier’s head snapped to the side, but the laughter didn’t stop. It was quieter now, more strained, but it was still there—a low, mocking hum that seemed to crawl under Ross’s skin.“Why are you laughing, you fool?” Ross snarled, grabbing Xavier’s chin and forcing his head up. His fingers dug into Xavier’s skin, leaving angry red marks. “What’s so damn funny?”Xavier’s eyes met mine for a split second, and in that moment, I saw it—the flicker of something unshakable,

Everywhere I turned, someone was hovering—bringing me water, adjusting the blankets around me, their eyes flickering with unspoken fear.I forced a smile, waving them off. "Come on, kids. It’s nothing serious," I insisted, my voice rougher than I intended. "I just need rest."But Hannah—Gods, Hannah—she saw right through me.Her fingers trembled as she brushed a strand of hair from my forehead, her deep blue eyes searching mine like she could pry the truth straight from my soul.

While Jackson and Liam trained with the warriors, I had promised Laila a run through the woods.The shift came like a second breath—bones cracking, muscles reshaping, fur erupting across my skin. My Lycan form towered over her, massive and powerful, but to Laila? I was just her ride. Though she was already twelve years old, she was still my little girl as her small hands gripped my fur.“Ready, Daddy?” she chirped, fingers twitching at her sides like she could barely contain herself.I smirked, rolling my shoulders. “Hold on tight.” As soon as I felt she was secure, I took off, sprinting through the dense forest.

He took everything seriously, from his training to his studies. Laila, on the other hand, was full of boundless energy.She was fierce, confident, and determined, much like Xavier and Jackson. Despite my gentle protests that training was for boys, she never listened."Mom, I can do anything Jackson and Liam can do!" she would say, hands on her hips, her bright eyes glowing with determination.I sighed, trying once more to reason with her.

  • My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection   109: Massive Meltdown

    HANNAH’S POVAs usual, pack members and friends came in their numbers to welcome our bundle of joy. The twins were three weeks old when the first real storm hit.Not the kind with thunder and lightning—though the sky outside the packhouse had been a brooding gray all day—but the kind that brewed in the quiet spaces between exhaustion and overwhelming love.Laila had been fussing for hours, her tiny face scrunched in displeasure, her cries sharp enough to make my bones ache. Liam, usually the calmer of the two, had picked up on her distress, his whimpers joining hers in a relentless chorus.I swayed gently in the rocking chair, Laila pressed against my chest, her tiny fingers tangled in the fabric of my shirt. My eyelids felt like lead, my body still healing—still sore in ways I hadn’t expected.“Shhh, sweet girl,” I murmured, running a hand over her downy hair. “Mama’s here.”But she only cried harder, her little body trembling.Across the room, Xavier paced with Liam in his arms, his

    HANNAH’S POVThe days after Laila and Liam’s birth melted into a fog of exhaustion, wonder, and a love so fierce it hurt. Our home, once a steady hum of three, now thrummed with the wild, beautiful chaos of five—tiny hiccupping cries, Jackson’s excited footsteps pounding down the hall, Xavier’s deep, soothing voice murmuring promises as he moved through the house, always there, always knowing what we needed before we did.The morning after we were discharged from the hospital, I woke to the soft, uneven whimpers of the twins. My body ached, muscles still trembling from the ordeal, my mind heavy with a tiredness that seeped into my bones. But when I turned my head, Xavier was already there—his broad arms lifting them from their crib as gently as if they were made of glass."Shhh, my loves," he whispered, his voice thick with sleep but impossibly gentle. He cradled them against his chest, one in each arm, his thumbs brushing their flushed cheeks. "Let your mama rest a little longer, yea

    HANNAH’S POVThe soft morning light filtered through the sheer curtains of the nursery, casting a gentle glow over the tiny cribs, the plush stuffed animals, and the freshly painted walls.I ran my fingers along the edge of the changing table, adjusting the neatly folded blankets again—though they were already perfect. My heart fluttered at the thought of the twins finally coming home. Our home.“Just a little longer now,” I whispered, a smile tugging at the corner of my lips.I picked up a small stuffed wolf, turning it over in my hands before placing it carefully beside its twin—when suddenly, warmth rushed down my legs, soaking through my dress.My breath hitched. “Oh.”A sharp cramp twisted low in my belly, stealing the air from my lungs. My fingers dug into the edge of the crib as another wave of pressure rolled through me. “It’s happening.”“Jackson!” I called, forcing my voice to stay steady even as my pulse roared in my ears.The door burst open seconds later, my son’s wide, wo
