Alpha Chase's PovThe dimly lit room was suffused with a sense of anticipation as I sat in my leather armchair, fingers nervously tapping against the polished mahogany desk. The air was thick with the smell of aged books and the soft hum of the city outside. The clock on the wall ticked away, each second echoing in my mind like a drumbeat, urging me to take action. I reached for my phone, grasping it tightly in my hand. It was time to make the call.I dialed the familiar number, my heart pounding against my chest. The phone rang twice before a voice crackled through the receiver, "Hello?""Simon," I said, my voice filled with a mix of anxiety and hope. "It's me. How are things going?"Silence stretched between us for a moment, and I could almost hear Simon's mind working, piecing together the puzzle of our conversation. Finally, he responded, his voice laced with cautious optimism, "Alpha, good to hear from you. We've made some progress, but there have been a few unexpected hurdles
Royal's POV As the moments stretched into what felt like an eternity, Rico's condition appeared to improve. His color was slowly coming back and he looked more relaxed. "Phew," I sighed in relief as I calmed my stormy heart. "Thank you, Royal," Lady Loretta said with tears in her eyes and she gently massaged her son's hand. All of a sudden, things took a turn for the worse. Rico's breathing became shallower, and his face grew pale, almost translucent against the stark white sheets that enveloped him. "Wh- what is going on? What's going on with Rico?” Lady Loretta stammered as we noticed the change. "Doctor! Doctor!! Nurse!!! Anybody!!!!” I yelled as I dashed out of the door, trying to call someone to look at his condition. As I sprinted through the hospital corridors, my heart pounded in my chest, the echoes of my frantic footsteps matching the fear that surged within me. Nurses and doctors hurriedly passed me, their faces etched with concern as they rushed toward Rico's room.
Alpha Chase's Pov My mind raced, trying to process the information. The wedding and the crucial meeting on the same day? How could this happen? It felt like the universe was playing a cruel joke on me."Simon, are you serious?" I asked, my voice tinged with disbelief. "How did this scheduling conflict arise? We can't afford to compromise either event."Simon's voice remained calm and composed as he explained, "Alpha, it was an unexpected change. The council elders alongside others must have shifted the date not knowing it would clash with the business meeting. What are we going to do now Alpha?”I sighed, trying to collect my thoughts. It was an unfortunate turn of events, but I couldn't let it derail our plans. The contract was crucial for our future, and my wedding held significant political implications. Without the wedding, my position as Alpha would be unstable. Both events had to be handled with utmost care and precision. I can't afford to lose any of them."Simon, we can't af
Royal's POVI shook my head, not wanting to dwell on Clara's hostility at that moment.I had a task at hand, and I needed to retrieve the herbal remedy to help Rico who was suffering from a mysterious illness. Brushing off the incident, I thanked the Beta and hurriedly made my way back to the pack house. I immediately went to the kitchen I used, where the rest of the remedy herbs was kept.As I entered, the distinct aroma of various herbs filled my senses. It was familiar and comforting. I scanned the shelves, searching for the particular ingredients needed for the remedy.Carefully selecting each herb, I gathered them in a small bowl, making sure to collect the freshest and most potent ones available. Once I had gathered all the necessary ingredients, I quickly prepared them like I did earlier and rushed back to the hospital where the crowd of people anxiously awaited my return. They were desperate for the doctor's findings, and their hopeful eyes followed my every move as I approac
Royal's POV The air in the room was heavy with anticipation, each person holding their breath, their heart beating in sync with Rico's. As the moments stretched on, a soft gasp escaped Lady Loretta's lips, and her grip tightened on her son's hand."I... I think I see a change," she whispered, her voice trembling with hope.We all leaned in closer, our eyes fixated on Rico. Slowly, a faint color began to creep back into his pale cheeks, and his eyelids fluttered. A murmur of relief passed through the room, and the doctor stepped back, a small smile playing at the corners of his lips."It seems like the remedy is taking effect," he announced, his voice laced with cautious optimism. "But we must remain patient and observe his progress."Lady Loretta let out a choked sob, her emotions finally breaking through the dam of fear and worry. Tears streamed down her face as she leaned over her son, brushing a trembling hand against his forehead."Rico... my sweet boy," she murmured, her voice f
Royal's POVShutting Clara's thoughts away, I called a cab, "To the pack house."As I settled into the backseat of the cab, the cab man spoke up, "Sorry ma'am, I'm new around here. Can you give me directions?”I nodded and gave the driver the address for the pack house. The engine hummed softly as we pulled away from the hospital and made our way through the city streets. The familiar sights and sounds of the city seemed to melt away as we left the bustling area behind and went further to where the pack house was located.The air outside was cool and crisp, carrying with it the scent of the earth. It calmed my nerves and I found myself appreciating the natural beauty that surrounded me.As we approached the pack house, the cab slowed to a stop in front of the grand iron gate. I peered out the window, taking in the sight of the magnificent house I was living in. Although Chase's pack house was bigger, this pack house didn't lack any form of comfort.Stepping out of the cab, I paid the
Royal's POV I couldn't shake off the lingering unease from the nightmare. The pain was so vivid and the haunting laughter played on repeat in my mind. It was unsettling, to say the least. "Phew," I breathed as I gently placed my hand on my stomach, feeling the reassuring kicks of my unborn child. It was a comforting reminder that he was with me, alive, and not dead. The tiny flutters beneath my touch served as a powerful antidote to the fear that gripped me just a few moments ago.As the adrenaline from the dream slowly subsided, my racing thoughts began to settle. I reminded myself that dreams often held symbolic meaning, rather than literal predictions. Perhaps this dream was due to stress and I was overthinking it."Rico's recent sickness shook me, and the prospect of becoming a mother had brought its own set of worries. It was natural for these anxieties to seep into my subconscious, materializing in the form of unsettling dreams." I thought to myself.Taking a deep breath, I ma
Royal's POVWith a screeching sound, the car finally came to a stop, the smell of burning rubber filled the air, causing me to cough. My heart pounded in my chest as the adrenaline coursed through my veins.Fear and panic gripped me as I looked around me and my eyes widened with horror as I stared at the scene before me. What just happened?Everything turned around in just a few minutes. The front of our cab was mangled, and the windshield shattered into a thousand shiny shards. The other vehicle involved in the collision lay on its side, emitting thick smoke from its engines. I heard a loud noise as bystanders rushed towards us in the car wreck, their concerned voices echoing in my ears.Taking a deep breath, I unbuckled my seatbelt and pushed open the car door. Waves of pain through my body, but I pushed it aside, trying to reach the unconscious driver. "Hey, Mister," I called out to him, my voice trembling, "Are you okay?" I asked, tapping him. He groaned in response and his f
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
