Royal's POV"Alpha Rico, Lady Loretta, what's going on? What happened? Did I do something?" I asked again since no one answered me the first time."No, Royal. I don't think this has anything to do with you." Lady Loretta finally answered, still staring at the dark sky."Mother, do you know what happened?" Rico asked, bewildered."If I tell you I have a clue of what's happening here, it's a lie. I am as shocked as you all are," she answered."The two of you should go inside, I'll ask my men to scout the pack grounds," Rico said and left us standing.After minutes of staring into the sky, Lady Loretta finally motioned for us to walk back inside. The curious gaze and whispers of the inhabitants of the pack house seemed to rise and fall and we moved and I couldn't blame them. We hadn't been properly introduced.I didn't know if I was supposed to go back to my room after what happened or wait for Rico in his chambers, but a part of me followed Lady Loretta, knowing she had something to say
Royal's POV"Talk to me, Rico. What's going on? Who died?"Rico sighed, trying to find the right words. It was the first time I saw him look so empty and shattered and I knew the person he lost must have been important to him. Without thinking, I pulled him into a hug, consoling him, "I'm sorry Rico. May his or her soul rest in perfect peace." We stayed in that position for some time, while I patted his back. I pulled out shortly after, "I'll go and change now. I'll be out in a few minutes."He nodded and turned around to leave to give me privacy. As he almost stepped out of the room, I called out, "Rico?" He turned to look at me, his eyes filled with unmeasurable pain. "Don't hide or bottle up your feelings too much. Mourn if you have to, okay?” He gave me a small smile and then nodded before he closed the door. "From one incident to another huh?” I asked myself and I bent to pick up the book on the floor. "I'll continue you some other time."I placed the book on the shelf and
Royal's POVThe pack members paused, turning their attention back to Rico. A hush fell over the group as they waited for him to speak, their eyes filled with curiosity and concern.Rico took a deep breath, his gaze scanning the faces of those gathered around him. "As you all know, my grandmother was not only the matriarch of our pack but also a wise and compassionate leader," he began, his voice steady but laced with emotion.Today, I would love to introduce you to someone, in the presence of my grandmother. He placed his hand in mine, "This is Royal. The latest addition to our pack."Whispers started flying around, and he gave them time to talk and process the information before proceeding. "She arrived a while ago, and due to unforeseen circumstances which some of you witnessed, she was not in a healthy condition to be introduced. Although today isn't supposed to be the day either, I see it as the best time to introduce her to you and my grandmother as well."We both squeezed our h
Royal's POVWith my head lowered, I strained my ears to catch any sounds or hints of what might be happening outside the car. The seconds ticked by, each one feeling like an eternity as the tension thickened in the air.I could hear muffled voices approaching, growing louder with each passing moment, sending shivers down my spine. Rico's grip on the steering wheel tightened even further, his knuckles turning white."Rico, you're scaring me!” I whispered."Keep quiet, Royal. We'll get home soon. Just stay down."Rico drove faster, and then he suddenly slowed down. Thinking we were already in the pack house, I raised my head up a bit but the sight of a man who held bad memories came into view and I immediately bent down. "Did I ask you to raise your head?!" Rico asked, a bit angry. "I'm sorry. I thought we were home already. But what is he doing here and why today?""I don't know, and I guess we're about to find out. Don't say a word and just act like you're in pain."I nodded and mad
Alpha Chase's POV Feina's lips curled into a triumphant smile, her eyes shining with a mix of satisfaction and hunger. She wasted no time in taking control, her delicate hands running down my chest and unbuckling my belt with practiced ease. "I have missed you so much, Alpha," she said seductively, her submissive side coming into view. As she undressed me, piece by piece, her touch sent shivers of anticipation down my spine. The air crackled with electricity, the tension between us reaching its peak. I allowed myself to surrender to her, to the intoxicating allure of the moment, as she guided me to the plush couch where I had sought solace just moments ago. Feina sat on top of me and straddled me, her body a perfect fit against mine, and I could feel the heat radiating from her core, teasingly close yet maddeningly out of reach. "You're wet!” I teased and she smiled. "Just for you, Alpha," she said with a smirk, rocking me harder, with subtle moans. Our eyes locked, and at that
Alpha Chase's PovAdrenaline surged through my veins at Simon's words, and a rush of protective instincts flooded my mind. Ryan, my blood brother, my rival, the one behind my current problems, the so-called pack member, who had turned his back on me had found his way back with vengeance in his heart.I couldn't let him harm anyone in my pack, not anymore."Feina, stay here," I said firmly, my voice tinged with determination. "Lock the door and don't open it for anyone except me."Her eyes widened with worry, but she nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. "Be careful, Alpha. Please."I nodded and she walked over to give me a quick kiss. Then, I darted out of the room, my senses heightened, every muscle poised for action.I sprinted through the corridors of the pack house, the clamor of chaos grew louder as I stepped out of the elevator. Voices of panic and fear reverberated off the walls, mingling with the shuffling of hurried footsteps. I rounded a corner and came face
Alpha Chase's Pov Silence hung in the air, as if the world around us held its breath, anticipating the outcome of this clash of wills. The sunlight elongated shadows on the canvas, heightening the dramatic tension that enveloped us. The pack members, once cheering loudly, now watched with bated breath, their eyes fixed on the two figures standing in the center of the open space. Ryan's gaze bore into mine, unwavering and fierce. His eyes, usually filled with a mischievous spark, now glinted with determination. I could see the toll the fight had taken on him, his face marked with cuts and bruises, his body drenched in sweat and blood. But his spirit remained unbroken, his resolve unyielding. I, too, felt the weariness seep into my bones, every muscle crying out for respite. My body throbbed with pain, every nerve ending sending signals of exhaustion. Yet, beneath the fatigue, a fire burned within me, fueled by a desire to emerge triumphant from this ultimate test of strength and e

"You are our Alpha!" they cried out, their loyalty unwavering.They erupted in a chorus of howls and cheers, their voices echoing throughout the arena. "Alpha Chase! Alpha Chase!" they chanted.With a mix of relief and exhaustion, I let go of Ryan's lifeless body, allowing it to crumple to the ground. "Goodbye, Ryan. Stay safe in the afterlife." I said and turned around to meet my Beta, Simon walking towards me."Congratulations on your victory, Alpha!""Yeah…" I said nonchalantly. "What should we do about the body?" He asked, staring at me, waiting for my orders. "We can't just discard him anyhow, you have to find a way to do it properly, for the pack's sake."I groaned, "Fine. Start the preparations. Inform me when it's time. I'm leaving.""Yes, Alpha." He said bowing his head and I walked out, the pack members chanting, "ALPHA CHASE! ALPHA CHASE!! ALPHA CHASE!!!"Leaving the raucous c
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
