The woman led me down a long, dimly lit hallway. The walls were stained with watermarks, and the floor was cracked and uneven. The air was thick with the smell of stale food and sweat. As we walked, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The hallway seemed to go on forever, and there were no d
I feel so refreshed after taking a bath, I haven't had one in so long that I had forgotten what it felt like to be clean. I slip on the clothes that the woman had given me, a pair of black jeans and a simple white t-shirt. They fit me perfectly, which is surprising considering how skinny I am. I gue
I woke up early the next morning, feeling both excited and nervous about starting my job in the restaurant. The woman had given me a set of apparel to wear and I nervously dressed myself. The uniform was simple, yet professional-looking, consisting of a white blouse, black trousers, and a black apro
As I walked, I fumbled with my bag, trying to get my hair tie out so I could put my hair up properly. I finally managed to get it out and quickly tied my hair back, trying to ignore the people staring at me as I hurried past them. When I finally arrived at the restaurant, I was out of breath and sw
As I stood there panting behind the counter, I could feel my heart beating so fast in my chest that it felt like it was about to burst out. I couldn't believe what I had just seen. Alpha Lance. My mind was racing with all sorts of thoughts and questions. What was he doing here? Was he looking for

ALPHA LANCE’S POV As Evelyn introduces herself, I lean down and sniff her. Her appearance was unremarkable, with mousy brown hair that fell in tangles around her shoulders and a pale, frightened face. But it was her eyes that caught my attention - wide and brimming with fear, they seemed to bore i
I returned to the Packhouse in a mood that was far from pleasant. My mind was heavy with thoughts and my heart was burdened with a deep sense of despair. The pack members greeted me as I walked in, but I didn't respond to any of them. I just kept walking until I reached my room. As soon as I entere
They were right, it's been years since we heard that I won't be able to give birth again, a change might happen in another year. Then all of a sudden, I heard the sound of the breaking of the air and I quickly dodged to the side. Then, I felt a stinging pain on my waist. When I looked down, I saw
But whenever I remember the look on their faces before they turned back at me and the fact that I still had their mark on me, I would lose the courage to hurt myself. Also, there was a part in me that wanted to take revenge for my daughter but in the condition that I was in at that point, I could n
EMILY'S POV. My face was a mask of resignation, a facade that concealed the raw ache of my sadness, my true emotions hidden beneath a carefully crafted veneer. My movements became slow and deliberate as if the weight of my sadness had settled upon my bones, making even the simplest tasks laboriou
"What took you so long? Did you forget that we were waiting for you?" The mean looking woman said but I just kept quiet without saying anything. "Now, that everything is done, I hereby use this chance to banish Emily from this pack, she will not enter the vicinity of the pack no matter what, now s
B..but, I was helpless. There was nothing I could do, I did not want them to suffer for my mistakes. They've not done anything wrong and it was all my fault so I should suffer for my mistakes. "Stop dilly-dallying around, let's do the ritual." The old man said again and I finally stood up weakly.
EMILY'S POV. "She can't stay here any more and that's final, if you continue to disobey, you will be sent into the pack's inner dungeon for ten years or even more." The hunched old man said and my heart skipped a bit Inner dungeon? Why were they so cruel? In every pack, there must always be tw
Although I had wondered who could be behind it all, I was not so bothered about it because it was exactly what I wanted. My plan had started to work too. I also told Matt to start spreading rumors about Emily's inability to give birth to any other child. I wanted to start shaking the brother's foun
"The others are also the same, they believed that following you would not do any good and they won't be able to gain anything and as you know, those people are only after gains and profit, so it is rational that they stayed behind and turned their back against you." "So, My Lord, how will you do it
LARRY'S POV. After spending some years alone and in pain, I finally realised the usefulness of power and status. Without power, no one would stay with you but I realised it too late and when I was at the gate of death. I was tired of working for or with my brothers, I wanted to work for myself. I
