Rose's POVAs I heard them talk about me, I couldn't shake off the feeling of dread that settled over me like a heavy fog. Linda, my closest friend and now savior, was discussing something about me with a stranger, someone I hadn't even met yet. What had I done to warrant their concern? I understand they are concerned but they didn't even see me before concluding. I wanted to burst into the room, demand answers, and dispel whatever doubts they harbored.However, a part of me hesitated. It felt like eavesdropping, invading their private conversation. Still, the urge to uncover the truth gnawed at me relentlessly. With a resolute sigh, I swung my legs over the side of the bed, slipped into my slippers, and quietly tiptoed toward the closed door.As I approached, the voices grew clearer, and I strained to catch every word. Linda's voice held a note of reassurance, her tone soothing and empathetic. "I understand your concerns, but she's been through so much that neither you nor I know a
Rose's POVAs we reached the center of the Nedan community, the tension in the air thickened. Word of my alleged involvement in Linda's disappearance had spread like wildfire, and curious onlookers lined the streets, their eyes filled with judgment and curiosity."How could she do that? Didn't she just arrive a few days ago?” A woman said, holding a basket in her hands, alongside another woman, looking at me scornfully.The men escorting me led me to a makeshift town hall, a modest building constructed from weathered wood and stone. Inside, the room was abuzz with hushed conversations and murmurs, interrupted only by the occasional thud of a gavel from the front.The leader of the community sat with the executives on a table on the podium, his weathered face etched with lines of concern. As I entered, the room fell into a hushed silence. All eyes were on me, their gazes piercing my soul."Miss Rose," the man's voice boomed through the room, filled with authority. "You stand accused of
Rose's POVI stumbled back, fear growing inside me as I wondered what sort of fabricated evidence he had. The leader motioned for him to come up and he did. With a wave of the leader's hand the man began to speak, "Thank you, sir," the man said, his voice quivering with a mix of anticipation and nervousness. He held out a folded piece of paper in his trembling hands. "I found this in Linda's cabin this morning. It's a note, and it might provide some insight into her disappearance."Curiosity and apprehension hung in the air as the man approached the podium and handed the note to the man. The leader carefully unfolded it and began to read aloud."'My dearest Linda, I cannot bear this secret any longer. Meet me at the old oak tree by the river tonight. We must talk. It is urgent.' Signed, Anonymous."Gasps filled the room, and all eyes turned toward me. The weight of suspicion settled upon me once again, threatening to crush me under its burden. The accusation felt like a dagger to the
Rose's POV"It is no one other than him," she said, pointing at the leader, the one who led the gathering, led the community, and made the majority of the decisions. The room fell silent once again, all eyes turning toward the accused leader. His face contorted with a mix of shock, anger, and denial."You're accusing me? Me?" he retorted, his voice laced with disbelief. "I have dedicated my life to this community, to its well-being. How dare you make such baseless accusations?"Linda's eyes narrowed as she stared directly into his. "I saw your true colors, the darkness that lies beneath your façade of leadership. You wanted to maintain control, and you saw me as a threat, someone who could expose your reign of manipulation."The crowd exchanged glances, their expressions torn between loyalty and doubt. The leader had earned their trust and admiration over the years, but the weight of Linda's words lingered, challenging their perception.Another voice spoke up, belonging to an elderly
Rose's POV "No, Rose, he didn't lay a hand on me. But he made it clear that he wouldn't hesitate if I resisted. He forced me to follow him and led me outside. As we walked toward his vehicle, I noticed a glimmer of recognition in his eyes. It was as if he knew something about your past, something I couldn't understand." Linda quickly explained and I sighed in relief.Finn's grip tightened on my hand, his eyes filled with concern. "What did you now do, Linda?""I knew I had to find a way to protect you, Rose. As we reached the destination, he handed me over to some men and then he left but before he did, he handed me a check. He said it was compensation and the men should release me after two days."After he left, the man he handed me to held me with a strong grip, and to escape, I pretended to stumble, causing the man to let go of me for a moment. In that split second, I mustered all the strength I had left and ran into the dense forest. I could hear him cursing and chasing after me,
Rose's POV I forced a weak smile, desperately trying to suppress the rising sickness. "I think I just need some fresh air," I managed to say, my words strained."Let us leave you to rest," one of the women said and they all stood up to leave."Thank you for coming," Linda and I said to them as we saw them off and after they left, I couldn't help but retch."Are you sure you're okay?” Linda asked again and I nodded, "I guess it's pregnancy sickness kicking in."Linda nodded, understanding evident in her eyes. "Come on, let's step outside. The cool breeze might help."With gentle support, Linda guided me toward the open door. I stumbled outside, the crisp afternoon air hitting my face, providing a momentary respite from the suffocating feeling that had overwhelmed me.But as I stepped back into the room, my steps faltered, and the contents of the tray in my hands threatened to spill over. I hurriedly placed the tray on a nearby table and instinctively clutched my stomach, feeling a wave
Rose's POV"I don't know, Rose. I think you can. It shouldn't affect the baby in any way. Just be careful," She said and hid from me, both of us clearly feeling shy about what to do. But as their moans intensified, I couldn't sleep and my imagination was filled with Hottie's hot body.I took off my pajama shorts and opened my legs wide, gradually I traced my fingers down to my core, feeling my warmth and moistness.As I tentatively explored my own body, a mix of curiosity and arousal wash over me. The sensations were new and foreign, but also undeniably pleasurable. My mind wandered back to Hottie and the passion I witnessed earlier. I wondered what it would feel like to experience that kind of ecstasy.Trying to focus on the moment, I began to slowly move my fingers in gentle circles, feeling the tender flesh respond to my touch. Waves of pleasure rippled through me, awakening desires I had never fully explored before. It was a delicate dance between self-discovery and a hint of guil
Rose's POVAs we engaged in the teasing discussion, I playfully rolled my eyes, trying to regain my composure. "Alright, you two. Let's focus on the incredible breakfast Linda has prepared for us, shall we?"Linda nodded, her laughter subsiding. "Of course, Rose. I'm glad you're enjoying it."We continued our breakfast with lively conversation, savoring each bite and relishing in the company of good friends. As the plates were cleared and our hunger satisfied, a sense of contentment settled over me.After breakfast, I excused myself from the table, intending to take a walk in the nearby street.The morning air was crisp and invigorating, a gentle breeze rustling the leaves and carrying with it the fragrance of blooming flowers. As I strolled along the winding paths, my mind wandered back to Eve."Eve, are you there?" I thought, hoping to reconnect with the enigmatic wolf who had offered guidance and companionship to me last night.In the depths of my consciousness, Eve's presence emer
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
