Rose's POV"No!" We yelled as the woman fainted in front of us, I felt fear and concern rush through me. Adriel and I exchanged a quick glance before I pulled out my phone, hastily dialing our driver's number."Hey, it's me… We need you to come down to the location we're at right now. That's number 13. There's an emergency, please hurry," I explained, my voice trembling with worry.Within seconds, our driver arrived, and together we carefully lifted the unconscious woman and placed her in the back seat of the car. Adriel sat beside her, cradling her head gently as I sat in the front, my heart racing with a mix of anxiety and curiosity. "Why did she faint all of a sudden? Could it be the shock from seeing Adriel? I just hoped she'll be fine," I said to myself, looking at the map for the nearest hospital.As we sped towards the nearest hospital, I couldn't shake off the strange encounter we just witnessed. Everything that happened gave me an eerie feeling that there was something more
Rose's POVThe lead surgeon walked to us, accompanied by the doctor who spoke to us earlier. The lead surgeon removed her mask, revealing exhaustion and relief etched on her face. She glanced at both of us and let out a slow breath. "She's fine. The surgery was successful. Although…" she started and my blood pressure shot up."…Considering her age, it was quite a challenging procedure, but we managed to address the issues without complications."A wave of relief washed over me, and I exchanged a quick glance with Adriel, who seemed to be holding his breath until he heard those words. His tense shoulders relaxed slightly, and a smile touched his lips. "Thank you, Doctor. That's a relief to hear."She nodded, her gaze softening as she looked at Adriel. "We need to talk. Please come to my office." With a nod, the three of us walked into her office and she sat us down. "Your grandmother is strong, and we were able to stabilize her condition. However, due to her age and the intensity of
Over twenty years ago…"Oh keep quiet! Selfish Alpha with the wandering thing between his legs!" The Luna insulted with a sharp tongue."Don't push me!" The Alpha thundered, pacing back and forth the room."I'll push you!" She yelled back. "You have a son! I'm carrying your second child for heaven's sake! What is your problem? Why are you chasing after other women?""I'm the Alpha here. You don't get to question my actions!" He yelled back at his wife. "And I'm your wife! Don't you think I deserve to know why my husband keeps going after everything under a skirt?" She retorted. The Alpha's eyes darkened, the inner battle raging within him becoming evident in the furrowed lines on his forehead. His lips parted as if to speak, yet the words were caught in his throat, trapped between his pride and his love for his wife.The Luna's eyes glistened with unshed tears, her fingers clutching at the fabric of her dress as she fought to maintain her composure. The situation bore down on her he
Distraught and with a heavy heart, Alpha Gabriel's mother, Grace, took her phone and started l making frantic calls to the pack's enforcers and investigators. Their Alpha and his Luna had an accident and it looked suspicious.Her voice quivered as she issued orders to the men. "Get me everyone involved in the accident, no matter how insignificant their role may seem," she commanded over the phone. "I want to know every detail, every connection, every potential lead. Leave no stone unturned."The pack's investigators sprang into action, diligently gathering information about the accident from witnesses, examining the wreckage, and questioning the individuals in the truck and the surrounding area. Hours turned into days as they pieced together the events that had led to the tragedy.In the hospital waiting room, Grandmother Grace sat with a heavy heart, clutching a framed photograph of her beloved family. She glanced up as one of the investigators approached her, his face a mix of exhau
Adriel's POVI sat there, caught in a whirlwind of conflicting thoughts. Going back to that place was something I didn't know if I wanted to do, but I needed to see my parents. The idea of visiting their graves stirred emotions within me.As I wrestled with my inner turmoil, Grandma Grace's gaze held mine. Rose's touch on my shoulder was soothing, a reminder that I didn't have to face this decision alone. "Adriel," she said softly, "it's a choice only you can make. But remember, facing the past can sometimes bring healing."I nodded, grateful for her wisdom. And then, meeting Grandma Grace's gaze, I found my voice. "I want to go. I want to see my parents," I finally said, surprised by the certainty in my own words. "I want to visit their graves, to pay my respects, to finally have the chance to say the things I couldn't before."A tender smile touched Grandma Grace's lips. "Thank you, my dear.""But Grandma," I began, my voice steady despite the emotions swirling within me, "before w
Adriel's POV"Emily…" I heard Grandmother Grace's voice answer me with disgust laced in her voice.The woman, Emily, exuded an air of confidence and authority as she descended the stairs. Her dark hair cascaded down her back, and her eyes held a sharpness that seemed to cut through the tension in the room.My uncle's lips curled into a faint smile. "Emily, always the one to ask the bold questions," he remarked. First, we must welcome our guests properly."He turned his attention back to me, his expression softening slightly. "Welcome, Adriel. Your father would be proud to see the man you've become." I extended my hand, my uncertainty momentarily forgotten. "Thank you, Uncle. It's an honor to finally meet you."He clasped my hand firmly, his grip strong and reassuring. "The honor is mine. Now, allow me to introduce you properly." He gestured to the woman beside him. "Adriel, this is Emily, your stepmother or father's concubine… anyone you feel comfortable with."I nodded in acknowledgm
Rose's POVMy eyes widened in shock when I saw my first mate and cousin walk in. I internally shook my head in denial. How can Luke be Adriel's stepbrother? Why cruel twist of fate is this?"Luke, my only son, and his beautiful Luna Sienna. How are you," Emily, his mother asked. "We are fine Mother," they both replied, giving her a sweet hug.As their greetings at the door concluded, Sienna and Luke made their way towards the table. And then, they saw me. Sienna's reaction was priceless! Sienna's eyes widened, her mouth falling open in disbelief. I held my breath, watching her reaction with relief bubbling inside me. It's like she saw a ghost. Luke on the other hand stared at me for what seemed like eternity. His shock was minimal as he masked it properly but I could see it. Adriel stood up and I did too. "Alpha Luke," he stretched out his hand for a handshake and did the same to Sienna. "It's a pleasure to meet you."Luke didn't reply, he only nodded and we all sat back down to co
Rose's POV"Feisty, I see," Emily remarked, her tone dripping with condescension. "But this is a matter of family, Rose. You may be Adriel's mate, but you're still an outsider in our pack's affairs."I squared my shoulders, refusing to back down. "Outsider or not, I won't let anyone question my husband's legitimacy without proper evidence. If you have doubts, then let's settle this through a test.""A test?" Luke raised an eyebrow, seemingly intrigued."Yes, a test. We can do a DNA test on Adriel and Luke or someone else to be sure Alpha Gabriel's blood is truly in his veins. What do you think Uncle?" I asked, facing the head of the table. "I'm in support of this decision,” Grandmother added and Adriel's uncle nodded. "It is settled. We will call the family doctor to do a DNA test on both men to see if they are truly the sons of Alpha Gabriel. Till then, I'll remain as the Alpha. Good night everyone." He said then stood up and left the room.Grandmother Grace followed suit then Adri
Rose's POV"Mother? Is that really you?" I cried, unable to believe my eyes.My heart raced as my eyes locked onto the familiar face of the woman who had given me life. It had been years since we were separated, and I had often wondered if I would ever see her again. But here she was, standing before me, tears of joy in her eyes as well.I extended my trembling arms toward her, and without hesitation, she rushed to my side. Our embrace was tight, filled with a depth of emotion that words could never express. Tears streamed down both our faces as we held each other, mother and daughter, reunited at last."Rose, my dear, my sweet girl," my mother whispered, her voice choked with emotion. "I've missed you so much. I never stopped thinking about you ever since..."I couldn't find my voice as I clung to her, burying my face in her shoulder, inhaling her familiar motherly scent. It was a scent that I longed for, a scent that had been absent from my life for far too long."You're here," I fin
Adriel's POV"I'll call you back, Uncle," I said and stepped out of the hospital room, my heart heavy still with worry for Rose but I needed to find the lady who was calling my name.As I followed the sound of the enraged voice, I soon found myself in the hospital's bustling lobby. There, in the midst of the chaos, was Emily, Luke's mother, shouting and demanding to see me."Where's that bastard Alpha? Where is he? Adriel? Do you think you can murder my family and go scot-free? Show your face!" she raged, her eyes wild with grief and anger.I approached her cautiously, aware of the emotions that must be coursing through her. "Emily," I said gently, "I'm here."She turned to me with a look of pure hatred in her eyes. "You killed my son and his wife, Adriel. You're going to pay for what you've done."I swallowed hard, looking for the right words to console the woman. "I didn't kill them, Emily. I swear. The last time I saw Luke, he was injured, but dead. And Sienna, she..."She grabbed
Adriel's POVAs I held Sienna's lifeless body, the weight of sorrow pressed down on me like a leaden sky. Although she wasn't a good person, she could have lived a better life. With trembling hands, I dialed the number of my uncle."Adriel, what's happened?" came the urgent voice on the other end."Luke and Sienna are gone," I choked out. "I need you to prepare for their arrival and burial."There was a brief pause on the line, followed by a solemn, "Of course, we'll be ready."I hung up, realizing that I needed to act swiftly. With one last, lingering look, I whispered, "Rest in peace, Sienna." I said, asking one of the guards to take her away to the hospital, then together with Luke's body, they will take them to the Denver Pack.As I turned away, my phone rang, its harsh sound cutting through the stillness of the morning. I quickly answered, my heart pounding in my chest."Alpha Adriel," a familiar voice crackled through the line, "we found the twins."Relief washed over me like a
Sienna's steps were heavy as she led Rose towards the border."Sienna, please tell me where you're taking me,” Rose begged but Sienna didn't answer her.They continued walking for what felt like eternity, Rose looked up ahead and saw the moonlight casting a shimmering path on the water's surface. The waves crashed against the shore, their calm rhythmic sound in stark contrast to the turmoil Rose felt.Finally, they arrived at the bridge, the ocean sounding beneath them."Stop walking," Sienna yelled. The air was thick with tension as Sienna turned to face Rose, her eyes burning with a mixture of anger and grief. Rose looked around but there was nothing or no one. Just the two of them."Why, Rose?" Sienna's voice was a low growl, her fingers clenched into fists at her sides. "Why did you have to come into our lives and tear everything apart for me? When you finally died, I was happy. Things were going smoothly for me. Luke finally forgot about you. But you just had to show up as his si
As Sienna's grief-stricken cries echoed through the night, a newfound determination took root within her. She would kill them all, one after the other. The world seemed to blur around her, her vision clouded by pain and anger. In her hand, she gripped the dagger tightly, the metal cold against her trembling fingers.With her heart pounding, Sienna made her way through the forest, her steps guided by a singular purpose. She just lost Luke, and although their relationship was not based on love, he was her husband, and now she sought revenge. Her mind was consumed by a relentless need for justice, a thirst for vengeance that seemed to drown out all reason.And then, in the moonlit darkness, Sienna's path intersected with Fena's. The woman who had entered their lives with promises of help and change. But in Sienna's eyes, Fena was now a symbol of the chaos and the cause of loss that had torn her world apart.Fena's form came into view, her figure bathed in the moon's pale light. Sienna's
With a tense silence hanging in the air, Luke and Adriel faced each other. "You're going down, brother!"Then, in a surge of primal instinct, Luke transformed first then Adriel followed suit. In a split second, both alphas transformed into their wolf forms. The transformation was swift and seamless, their human selves giving way to powerful creatures of fur, fang, and claw. The air seemed to crackle with energy as the wolves circled each other, their eyes locked in a fierce, unyielding gaze.In their wolf forms, they moved with a fluid grace, each step deliberate and calculated. Their muscles rippled beneath their fur as they lunged.The sounds of growls and snarls filled the night, echoing through the clearing.As they fought, Luke's thoughts were a jumble of conflicting emotions. The pain of betrayal, everything swirled within him. Every strike, every clash of teeth, was a release for the anger that consumed him for so long.But despite the ferocity of their battle, Adriel's skills
"Sienna, I don't know where you are but run to your husband and warn him. It's not safe to continue!" Fena warned.Amid the tension and warnings, Sienna came to her husband's side, her expression a mix of concern and determination. She placed a hand on his arm, her touch urging him to reconsider. "Luke, we need to listen to reason. If Adriel has found out, it's too dangerous to continue."Luke's gaze remained fixed in the distance, his jaw clenched in determination. "Sienna, this is our chance. We can't let it slip away. I won't back down now."Sienna's voice was laced with worry. "But…." Luke's grip on his weapon tightened, his resolve unyielding. "But nothing! I won't let Adriel take everything from us. We've come too far."The man who had warned them urged them once again, his voice desperate. "Alpha, we're outnumbered. We can't win this."Ignoring the pleas and warnings, Luke turned to Fena, his eyes unwavering. "We're going in."Fena's voice was tinged with frustration. "Luke, y
"Something like that," Emily answered.Sienna leaned forward, curious. "Tell us everything, Mother. We need all the insight we can get."Emily took a seat at the table, her gaze steady as she began her tale. "Alpha Gabriel and Luna Isabella ruled with the people, just like Adriel. To weaken their hold on the pack, we used a combination of psychological warfare and strategic sabotage. It wasn't about brute force, but about undermining their authority and creating divisions within their ranks."Fena leaned in, her expression intense. "How did you do it?"Emily nodded, her eyes taking on a distant look. "First, we focused on planting seeds of doubt and mistrust among their most loyal followers. We carefully leaked information that made them question the motives of their leaders, causing internal conflicts and undermining their unity. With me in the pack house and Luna Isabella away, it was relatively easy.Luke's eyes lit up with realization. "Like we're planning to do with Adriel's pack
Luke's Office.The lady's smile didn't waver as she adjusted her sunglasses, seemingly unfazed by Luke's skepticism. "You may call me Fena."Sienna exchanged a wary glance with Luke, the tension in the room increasing. "Who is the woman? Do you know her from somewhere?" she asked through mind link."No, I don't. This is the first time I'm seeing her too," Luke answered.Sienna faced her. "And why should we trust you, Miss Fena? Why do you want to help us in defeating Adriel?"Fena leaned back in her chair, her fingers tapping rhythmically against the armrest. "You don't have to trust me, but I have information that could be of great interest to you."Luke crossed his arms, his eyes narrowing. "What kind of information?"Fena's lips curled into a smirk as she looked directly at Luke. "Information about Adriel's past, his vulnerabilities, his secrets. Things that could help you bring him to his knees. Isn't that what you want?"Sienna's brows furrowed. "Yes, it is. But Why would you wan
