Rose's POV"Shit!"I cursed as I saw the man, walking back and forth, trying to get in. "I have to leave here now!"My mind raced, searching for a way to escape this sudden threat. Panic surged through my veins, urging me to take action. I took a deep breath, trying to steady my trembling hands and suppress the rising fear within me.The figure outside continued to bang on the door, the urgency in their actions heightening my sense of vulnerability. I knew I couldn't afford to wait around and find out their intentions. I had to act swiftly and decisively."Linda!" I called out, my voice filled with desperation. "Linda, please hurry back! I can't hide from them."I turned away from the door, my eyes scanning the room for any means of escape. The windows, though small, offered a glimpse of hope. I rushed toward them, my heart pounding in my chest.As I reached the first window, I tried to open it but my efforts were futile. I walked around the house and I found a second window. I struggle
Rose's POVAs I succumbed to the temporary respite of unconsciousness, time slipped away, taking with it the chaos and fear that had haunted me. When I finally opened my eyes, the sun had risen high in the sky, casting its warm rays. The forest seemed to breathe with a renewed sense of life, and I knew I had to continue my search for help.Pushing myself up, I winced as my sore muscles protested the movement. The pain in my ankle throbbed incessantly, a constant reminder of the trials I had endured and the ones I'm still enduring. With a deep breath, I steadied myself and began walking, determined to find a place bustling with people who could provide the assistance I desperately needed.The forest gradually transformed, transitioning from dense foliage to scattered clearings. Shafts of sunlight illuminated the path ahead, casting intricate patterns on the forest floor. As I walked, my mind raced, replaying the events that had led me to this point. The men who pursued me, their crue
Rose's POV"Rose?" She called out pulling me into a hug."Cousin, what are you doing here?” she said sobbing and people around us looked at us like a bunch of weirdos."What are you doing here Sienna?” I asked, neutrally, not answering her question."I came to visit someone here. What about you? How have you been? I knew Uncle was lying when he announced your death. What happened? Why do you look so…. unkempt?"I took a deep breath, looking back and making sure, the men are not anywhere close to me. "Sienna, what I do with my life, is none of your business. Just go back to your mate and live a happy life.""I'm sorry, Rose." She said, her voice laced with emotion. "I didn't mean for any of it to happen. Please forgive me."I stared at Sienna, her words hanging heavy in the air. The apology seemed genuine, but I couldn't help but feel a surge of anger and betrayal rise within me. Memories of the past flooded my mind, replaying the pain and heartache caused by her actions."You're sorry?
Rose's POVSienna took a deep breath, trying to steady herself before relaying the information. Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke, the weight of the situation evident in her tone."They don't think they can locate Linda," Sienna said, her voice filled with worry. "They said there have been reports of rogue activities in the area, and it's possible that Linda might have encountered trouble."My heart sank further at the news, a mix of fear and frustration coursing through me. I clenched my fists, struggling to keep my emotions in check."We need to find her, Sienna. We can't just sit here and wait," I pleaded, my voice tinged with desperation. "If not for her, I might even be dead."Sienna nodded, determination shining in her eyes. "You're right, Rose. We won't just sit here. We'll do everything we can to locate Linda and ensure her safety."Sienna quickly paid the bill, and we made our way out of the restaurant. Our minds were focused on finding Linda, unraveling the mystery of
Rose's POVPanic seized me as I realized I was no longer in the comfortable hotel room where I had fallen asleep.The air felt heavy and oppressive, devoid of the familiarity I had grown accustomed to. The room was shrouded in an eerie silence, broken only by the faint sound of distant footsteps echoing through the empty space.I fumbled for a light switch, desperately seeking to banish the darkness that seemed to suffocate me. But my efforts were in vain, as no illumination came forth. Fear tightened its grip on my heart, causing it to race with trepidation."Sienna?" I called out, my voice quivering with apprehension. The silence was my only response, deepening my sense of unease. Where was she? How had I ended up in this strange, foreboding place?With cautious steps, I navigated the room, my hands outstretched to feel for any clues, any indication of where I was. The surface beneath my feet felt cold and unyielding, unlike the comforting carpeting of the hotel room.Suddenly, a fai
Rose's POV Finding my voice, I finally spoke up. "This is not your master! She's my cousin and she's here to save me, aren't you Sienna?" I asked, but she didn't respond, a wicked smile playing on her lips. "Sienna, are you their master?" I asked, hoping for a positive answer."Shut up and don't anger my master!" one of the men roared."Master? No, no, no, my cousin isn't your master. She's here to save me! Aren't you Sienna?” I asked refusing to believe she was capable of doing this.She smirked, "What do you think, Rose Moon? Am I capable of being their Master who wanted you dead all these years or not?"My mind reeled with confusion. How could Sienna be a part of this? Was this some twisted betrayal, or had circumstances forced her hand? I stared at her, searching for answers in her eyes, but they held a depth of pain that I had never seen before."This can't be possible. You're my cousin, why would you want me dead?” The hulking figure's gaze flickered with a mix of surprise an
Rose's POV"Hit her! Do whatever you want to her and that bastard child of hers. I don't give a fuck about her!" she snickered, pointing her middle finger at me.The mention of my child made me scared and I had no option but to beg, "Sienna please, not my child. He hasn't done anything to you. Please spare him.Sienna's wicked laugh filled the room and she turned to me afterward, "I don't care about you or the child, Rose. Get that into your skull. They are free to do whatever they want, so don't beg me!”The men closed in on me, their malicious grins sending shivers down my spine. They relished in the anticipation of inflicting pain, their sadistic desires fueling their every move. Fear tightened its grip around my heart, but I refused to let it consume me completely"Please," I begged, chanting it over and over again as they neared me. "Spare my child, please."Sienna watched from the shadows, her gaze fixed on the scene before her. Her once gentle eyes had transformed into icy orbs
Rose's POVAs I lay there, contemplating my dire situation, a noise caught my attention. The sound of footsteps approaching, growing louder with each passing second. My heart pounded in my chest, a flicker of hope emerging amidst the darkness. "Are they coming to torture me again?" I muttered, sobbing again.The door swung open, and my breath caught in my throat as I saw a figure step into the room. It was one of the men who had been part of my torment, his face twisted with malice. Fear coursed through my veins, but desperation overpowered it. I had to take a chance."Please," I managed to croak, my voice hoarse and strained. "Please, Mister, you have to help me."The man sneered, his eyes filled with disdain. "Help you? Why would I do that? You're nothing but a pawn in this game, Rose. A pawn that has outlived its usefulness. You're going to be here to do anything and everything my master, Sienna, wants."Tears welled in my eyes as I pleaded, my voice trembling with both fear and d
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
