Royal's POV"I won't hurt you, I just want to see you before I finally leave."I hesitated, uncertainty clouding my thoughts. The garden had always been a place of solace for me, but now, with Ryan's presence looming, it felt tainted. "All right," I reluctantly agreed. "I'll meet you in the garden."With a sense of trepidation, I ended the call and stood up from the armchair. A mix of nerves and determination coursed through me as I made my way toward the door, preparing to face Ryan once again.As I stepped outside, the grand estate's sprawling garden unfolded before me, with the moon above me, a picturesque landscape of flowers and winding pathways. The air was filled with the sweet scent of flowers, momentarily calming my racing heart.I walked along the familiar paths, my footsteps echoing in the stillness. It didn't take long for me to spot Ryan, standing there, wearing dark clothing, his demeanor composed and somewhat unusual.His presence sent a chill down my spine, but I ste
Royal's POVMy heart skipped a beat as I stared into the cold, determined eyes of Ryan, his finger tightening on the trigger of the gun pointed directly at me. Fear washed over me, mingling with a surge of adrenaline that pulsed through my veins. At that moment, time seemed to stand still, the world around us fading into the background as the gravity of the situation took hold.With trembling hands, I quickly ended the call with the Alpha, following Ryan's command. The silence that enveloped us was suffocating, broken only by the distant sounds of the estate's activity, oblivious to the danger unfolding within its walls."What do you want, Ryan?" I managed to say, my voice laced with a mix of fear and defiance. I tried to steady my racing thoughts, searching for any possible escape plan, any glimmer of hope.A cold smile twisted his lips, a chilling juxtaposition against the warmth we had shared mere moments ago. "What I want, Royal is revenge," he hissed through clenched teeth. "You
Royals POVMy heart skipped a beat as her words sank in, the weight of betrayal settling heavily upon my shoulders. The cup slipped from my trembling hands, crashing to the ground, shattering into pieces. Anger and disbelief surged through me, and I took dragged myself back, my voice barely a whisper."Lilian... you... betrayed me?" I choked out, my voice filled with a mix of hurt and rage.Lilian's expression shifted, her previously kind eyes now cold and calculating. "Oh, Royal, you never suspected, did you? I've been working for Ryan all along, feeding him information about your plans, and your weaknesses. And now, it's time for you to pay for what you've done."My mind reeled, trying to process the gravity of her words. How could I have been so blind? Lilian had been my confidante, my trusted ally. We had shared secrets, hopes, and dreams. And now, it was all shattered in an instant."You... you were like a sister to me," I stammered, tears welling up in my eyes. "How could you do
Royals POV After being sent away by the one I loved, the one I left everything for, I walked away slowly, holding my locket, "Mom, Dad, please forgive me and save me," I cried. Lost in my thoughts, I failed to notice the faint rustling in the underbrush nearby. Suddenly, a low growl filled the air, sending a chill down my spine. I turned, only to be met with a group of snarling, feral wolves emerging from the shadows. Their eyes glinted with a savage hunger, their bared fangs dripping with anticipation.Fear gripped me tightly, the realization dawning upon me that I was vulnerable and alone, marked not only as a traitor but also as a witch. Rumors of my bloodline had spread, whispers of magic and unheard power. The rogue wolves had caught wind of my witchy scent and they saw me as a threat, a target to be eliminated.I stumbled backward, my heart pounding in my chest. There was no time to dwell on the pain of banishment or the betrayal of the pack. Survival became my sole focus, eve
Royal's POVI trudged through the dense woods, the weight of my bag digging into my weary shoulders. Hunger gnawed at my stomach, a constant reminder of my vulnerable state. The stranger's provisions had sustained me for a while, but now I yearned for a proper meal, a place where I could find solace and gather my thoughts.The rustling of leaves underfoot and the distant chirping of birds provided a semblance of tranquility, but I remained on high alert. The world had turned against me, and I knew I couldn't afford to let my guard down. Every sound, every movement, was scrutinized for signs of danger.As I ventured deeper into the woods, a clearing emerged before me, bathed in the dappled sunlight that filtered through the canopy above. The scent of moss and damp earth hung in the air, mingling with the faint aroma of wildflowers. It seemed like the perfect spot to rest and perhaps find a morsel to eat.But as I approached the clearing, a group of figures emerged from the shadows, the
Royal's POVMy heart pounded in my chest, the sound of my own breath drowning out the distant calls of the robbers. I ran as fast as my tired legs would carry me, weaving through the maze of trees, desperately seeking refuge.Finally, as if guided by some unseen force, I stumbled upon a hidden corner nestled amidst a cluster of ancient oaks. It provided a momentary respite, a sanctuary from the chaos that pursued me. Gasping for air, I collapsed to the ground, my body trembling with exhaustion.The sounds of the robbers grew fainter as they continued their futile search. I pressed my back against the rough bark of the oak tree, my breaths ragged as I tried to steady myself. In the embrace of solitude, I allowed myself a moment to gather my thoughts and regain my composure.As the adrenaline slowly ebbed away, a deep weariness settled upon me. The events of the day had taken their toll, both physically and emotionally. I needed rest, a chance to heal and gather strength for the uncerta
Royal's POV As I tried to remain awake, the men neared me, their bulge rising, laughing hysterically and I knew they wanted one thing- to forcefully sleep with me and then leave."No! Stay away from me. "Don't come closer," I yelled but they only mimicked and laughed at me. "Help! Help!! Help!!!" I yelled hoping someone would save me, hoping my parents would forgive me and show me mercy but I got nothing. Instead, the men continued laughing and neared closer, unbuckling their trousers.But just as hope seemed to fade, a voice cut through the air, fierce and commanding. "Back off! Leave her alone!"Confusion and hesitation replaced the cruel laughter of the men. I strained to lift my head, my gaze landing on a figure emerging from the shadows, a savior clad in darkness.With swift and calculated movements, the stranger dispatched my assailants, sending them retreating into the night with their tails between their legs. It was a breathtaking display of power and skill, a force that he
Royal's POVI felt a sudden surge of adrenaline as I stood up from my seat, my heart pounding in my chest. The figure in the cloak slowly made its way toward our table, their steps deliberate and purposeful. As they approached, I could make out the faint glimmer of a silver amulet hanging around their neck, similar to the one I wore.The man sitting across from me, sensing the tension in the air, rose to his feet as well. His gaze shifted from the mysterious figure to me, concern etched on his face. "Do you know this person?" he whispered, his voice laced with caution.I shook my head, my mind racing to find answers. The locket, the stranger's arrival, it all seemed to feel connected somehow. "No," I replied in a hushed tone, my voice tinged with fear. "I've never seen them before."The figure stopped in front of our table, their piercing eyes locked onto mine. "You," they said, their voice low and ominous, "you possess what rightfully belongs to us."My heart skipped a beat, and I in
ALPHA CHASE'S POV "I can't say, but you have a chance to take her back…" he said and I admired his honesty. After eating, we headed back to the hospital room pending the time Simon prepared a room for him in the pack house since he planned on staying. As Rico and I sat in Royal's hospital room, waiting anxiously for any news about her condition, we heard a knock at the door and we saw two women, with a baby. "Mother? Devi? Asher?" Rico called out in surprise and together with Aiden, they ran out with smiles on their faces. "Grandmother, Auntie!” Aiden beamed as he stretched to carry the little one. Curious, I walked outside too. "Alpha Chase," both women greeted in unison. "How is she?" the older lady inquired, her voice trembling with worry. "We're expecting good news," I answered, still waiting for an introduction, which Alpha Rico did. "Lady Loretta, Luna Devi, thank you for coming. The doctors are running tests to determine what's causing her condition." They asked me if
ALPHA CHASE'S POV"Really?" I chuckled. "So nice of them to do me a favor by coming to me directly! Prepare the men!" I ordered and with a nod, he left. Making sure not to disturb my mate and son, I took out a few clothes for battle and then headed out. As I stepped out of the elevator, I cracked my knuckles, a wicked smile playing on my lips. Been so long since the bloodthirsty Alpha went to battle.As I led my pack members out to confront the rogue wolves who dared to breach our territory and threaten us, I felt confident even though it was unplanned.To avoid anyone getting hurt, my warriors and I had no choice but to confront these intruders head-on before they got to the bustling area of the pack.We finally met them and as I looked at the intruders, I couldn't help but notice a familiar face among them. Feina, my ex-girlfriend, stood there, her eyes filled with anger and resentment. I banished her from our pack when I discovered the dark deeds she had committed, and it was clea
ROYAL'S POV:"If you love yourself and your son, come alone!" The second message read.Without another word, I left the room, my steps echoing through the empty hallways as I made my way to the warehouse on the abandoned Omega Road. My every heartbeat was a drumming reminder of my desperation, pushing me to reach Aiden as quickly as possible.When I reached the abandoned building, my heart pounded in my chest. The darkness and silence that surrounded it sent a shiver down my spine. But I couldn't afford to hesitate. I took a deep breath and pushed open the creaking door, my senses alert for any sign of danger.Inside, the dimly lit interior revealed a horrifying sight. There, in the middle of the warehouse, I saw my son, Aiden, bound and gagged, tears streaming down his little face. My heart clenched at the sight, and I rushed to his side, my own tears mingling with his as I untied him. "My baby,” I whispered."Mommy!" Aiden cried out, throwing his tiny arms around my neck.I held hi
ROYAL'S POVIn my frantic state, I clung to Alpha Chase, tears streaming down my face as I struggled to catch my breath. My heart was a storm of fear and anguish, and all I could think of was our precious Aiden, taken away from us by cruel and unknown hands.Alpha Chase's eyes were wide with shock and concern as he held me close. "How did this happen, Royal? Tell me everything," he pleaded, his voice filled with urgency.Taking a shaky breath, I recounted the horrifying events. "We were on our way to the Silver Lining pack. Aiden was asleep in my lap in the backseat. Suddenly, a group of masked men ambushed us. They were armed, and there was nothing we could do. They forced me out of the car and... hit me then they took Aiden with them," I choked on my words, reliving the traumatic moment.Alpha Chase's jaw clenched in anger as he processed the information. "We will find them," he vowed, his voice filled with determination to save his son "Simon, we need to act fast. Gather our best t
Alpha Chase's POVShe left. The one woman who gave me peace. The one woman who broke my curse, the mother of my child left!Watching the vehicle which carried Royal and our son Aiden away, brought immense pain to my heart.As the sound of Royal's car faded into the distance, I couldn't help but feel empty. The days I spent with Royal and Aiden were more than magical. Now, with her gone, I was left with a void that seemed impossible to fill. "I told you to tell her, didn't I?" my angry wolf scolded. "If I did, she'd have packed her things and left that instant. I didn't know last night would happen and I would be so trapped that I would spill it all…" I answered.I sighed heavily and went back to my home. To the grand doors of the six-story pack house. I clenched my jaw and pushed the heavy wooden doors open, stepping into the familiar scent of my home. My footsteps echoed through the corridor as I made my way to my office. The pack had been in turmoil since I'd been away for treatm
Royal's POVWith those words, Chase came into my room, horny and ready to devour me whole. I, on the other hand, was prepared for him no matter how much I lied to myself. I wanted him, and only him.Just like old times, his hand touched me in all the sweet and weak spots and the feeling was heavenly. He kissed me with so much desire, that I could feel myself submitting to him when he had not even started anything yet."Just fuck me already," I screamed in my subconscious but didn't dare to say it out. Why rush what I'd enjoy throughout the night? A few minutes into foreplay, I regretted my decision as I tried so hard to push him away while he ate me out. His tongue, his lips, his fingers, everything! I was so lost in the pleasure, that my moans disappeared, replaced by gasps and shudders. One command from him and more juice dripped from my insides and I lay there like a goddess being worshiped.Once he satisfied himself and turned my legs to jelly, he spread my legs, positioning his
Royal's POV As our lips locked once again, my mind raced with conflicting emotions. This was Chase, the Alpha who sent me away. He didn't believe me when I was all alone. But now, something changed between us, and I couldn't ignore the intensity of the feelings rushing through me.As we kissed, my heart battled with my rational mind. I pulled away gently, breaking the kiss, and a heavy silence hung in the air. My heart pounded in my chest, and I could see the confusion mirrored in Chase's eyes."Silver," he whispered, his voice soft and uncertain. "I... I don't know what just happened, but I can't ignore how I feel about you."My breath hitched, and I took a step back, creating some distance between us. "Chase, I can't deny that there's something between us, but we can't act on it. We've been through so much together, and I don't want to jeopardize our friendship."He sighed, running a hand through his hair in frustration. "But Royal, what if we're meant to be more than just friends?
Royal's Pov Taking a deep breath, I knelt down to be at eye level with Aiden. Before I could answer, Alpha Chase blurted out, "Yes I am your father!"The words hung in the air, and for a moment, me and Aiden both stared at Alpha Chase in utter surprise. The crackling of the fire seemed to echo the shock that just enveloped us."Chase," I said softly, her voice a mix of disbelief and confusion.Chase winked at me then turned to Aiden with eyes filled with determination, "I know I should have told you both sooner, but I wanted to make sure it was the right time. Aiden, you are my son, and I've always been watching over you from afar."Aiden's eyes widened, a whirlwind of emotions washing over him. "You're my father? But... why didn't you tell me before?"Chase knelt down next to me and placed a hand on Aiden's shoulder. "I wanted to keep you and your mother safe. There were dangerous forces that threatened us, and I thought it was best to stay away until we could ensure your safety."
Third person povThose words struck Royal like a thunderbolt. She didn't prepared herself for the possibility that Alpha Chase might not remember himself or their past together. Her heart sank, but she pushed her emotions aside and put on a reassuring smile."That's okay," she said softly, trying to keep her voice steady. "You've been through a lot. It's normal to feel disoriented. Just focus on resting and recovering."Alpha Chase nodded weakly, seemingly accepting her words without further question. He struggled to sit up, and Royal quickly moved to assist him.Since he was the only one who needed treatment, Royal decided to stay back and watch him.Although Rico and Devi were not happy with the decision to stay with Chase after everything, they understood what she wanted.As the first rays of the morning sun cascaded through the windows, Royal stepped into the cozy living room of her humble abode to meet Chase. "Good morning, Chase," she greeted with a warm smile, setting a tray o
