Rose's POVTo my surprise, it was just food– genuine, untainted sustenance. The flavors danced on my taste buds, providing a momentary respite from the torment I had endured.Relief washed over me as I realized Sienna hadn't poisoned the meal. I devoured the meal, nourishing my weakened body and allowing the food to fuel my child. As I finished the last morsel, a surge of strength coursed through my veins. I knew I couldn't rely solely on luck or the occasional respite Sienna granted me if I wanted to leave.If I want to escape, I need a plan and a helper but who would help me escape from here? And how am I sure they won't betray me in the future? I sat back on the floor, contemplating my options as the lingering taste of the meal still lingered in my mouth. With the room feeling slightly less suffocating now, my mind raced, searching for a way out of this prison.Lost in my thoughts, I hadn't noticed the sound of footsteps approaching until the heavy door swung open. Sienna entered
Rose's POV My heart hammered in my chest, my eyes widened in sheer terror, and my breaths came out in shallow gasps. The room seemed to close in around me, and the sound of Sienna's voice echoed in my ears. Panic surged through every fiber of my being, consuming me wholly."Sienna, please!" I begged, my voice trembling. "I beg you, don't do this. We can find another way, another solution. Killing me won't solve anything!"Sienna's icy gaze pierced through me, her lips curling into a sadistic grin. "Oh, Rose," she taunted, her voice dripping with malice. "You're still begging after all I've done. You've always been the naive one. There is no other way and you know that. Death is the only escape from me and this wretched existence. Unless you want to continue suffering.... which I am tired of seeing."Tears welled up in my eyes as the weight of desperation and helplessness bore down on me. "Sienna, please listen. I know you're hurting, and I know I and my parents have caused you and yo
Rose's POV"Yes, cousin. This is how it all ends,” she said, taking a matchbox."Sienna please, this is petrol and fire, don't do this please."She laughed wickedly, a matchbox in her arms. "Burn in hell, Rose Moon."As the darkness closed in, my vision blurred, and my breathing grew shallow. The men, one by one, left, leaving me and Sienna standing in the room. I struggled to speak, my voice barely a whisper. "Sienna... Why? Why would you do this? To this extent? We were family..."Sienna's eyes gleamed with a mixture of madness and triumph. "Family?" she scoffed, striking a match against the rough surface of the box. "Family is overrated, Rose. It's time for me to rise above you, to take what is rightfully mine."Terror coursed through my veins as Sienna dropped the flaming match onto a pool of petrol that she had poured around the room. Flames erupted, devouring everything in their path with a voracious hunger.I cried more as the crackling heat licked at my skin, causing more ag
"Good morning sir!” "What's the report on the girl?" The voice over the phone said and the man who placed the phone call gulped."Boss, I'm sorry but, we lost track of her!" The man said to the person over the phone and everywhere went silent, not even the men around him could breathe. "What do you mean you lost track of her?!" He asked coldly over the phone. "You lost her location but you know where she is or you lost both?""Boss, let me explain. We…”"Quiet!" The man roared and all the men flinched, bowing their heads to the man speaking over the phone. "I don't care what you do, or how you do it. But I want you to find that girl for me, alive or dead!” he ordered and hung up. The man in casual clothes, known as Striker, felt a heavy weight descend upon him as the call ended. He clenched his teeth and fists, feeling the weight of the mistake he made.He knew that losing track of the girl was a grave mistake, one that could have dire consequences. He turned to his team, a group o
The tires of the car screeched as the team's car swerved around corners, the engine roaring loudly. They knew they had to reach the house in the woods as quickly as possible if they wanted to save her. As they got closer to the house, the sky above them grew darker, as thick smoke billowed into the air. The crackling of fire could be heard in the distance, growing louder with each passing moment and the team's hearts pounded in their chests. Would they be able to get there and save the girl on time?Finally, not a second late, they arrived at the scene. The house, once a quiet cabin nestled among towering trees, now stood engulfed in blazing fire. The fiery flames licked at the structure, hungrily consuming everything in their path. The heat radiating from the blaze was intense, making it difficult for the men to approach the burning building."Striker, what are we going to do? It's too hot. " One of the team members asked."Someone call the firemen. Others spread out and check if t
Rose's POVI slowly opened my eyes, squinting against the harsh, sterile lights that illuminated the room. "Where am I?" I said, blinking away the remnants of sleep. I tried to recall the events that led me to this unfamiliar place and the last thing I remembered was fainting after the gunshot and the burns were unbearable. How did I get here? Who saved me?Slowly, my surroundings came into focus, and I found myself lying on a narrow hospital bed. My hearing slowly returned, and I could hear the rhythmic beeping of machines echoing n the room. I groaned and tried to turn around but tubes snaked around me, connecting to one another, while a dull throbbing sensation pulsed through my body. I tried to move but found myself restrained by soft, restrictive bandages that wrapped around my whole body.As I attempted to lift my head, a jolt of pain shot through my skull, causing me to wince.Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself and gather my thoughts. "I was saved
Rose's POV"I'll be available to answer your questions after you're done eating. I don't want to anger the Alpha," he said and stood in the corner.Without wasting a second more, the nurse loosened some of the bandages on my body, revealing bits of my healed skin. I grabbed the tray, opened the food, and ate till I was filled up. Then, Striker helped me drop the tray on the nearby table."Are you going to answer me now?" I asked.Striker's gaze softened, and he pulled up a chair beside my bed, making himself comfortable. "You don't know him?" He asked, raising his eyebrows."No, I don't know who the Alpha you're talking about is. Is it my father?" I asked, hoping he'd be the one and not that bastard ex-mate of mine, Alpha Luke. The man shook his head, chuckling. "No, that's not possible. My Alpha is too young to be your father. Hold on, your father is an Alpha?" "That's not the point. I just want to know who saved me. The suspense is killing me," I groaned, a headache building in my
Rose's POV.Adriel turned to me, his eyebrows creased with worry, "There's an urgent matter that requires my immediate attention," he said, his voice, urgent. "I need to leave, but don't worry, I promise I'll be back soon."I felt a knot form in my stomach, and my pregnancy hormones kicked in as I didn't want him to leave me. I just found him and I didn't want to let him go. "But where are you going?" I asked, concerned. "Is everything okay?"He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself before answering. "I don't think so. My men need my help in dealing with an issue back at home."My heart skipped a beat, realizing the seriousness of the situation. "Is it safe for you to go alone?" I asked, my voice trembling slightly. " Will you be taking striker with you? Won't you need him?"Adriel's eyes softened and he reached out to hold my hands, massaging them softly. "I won't be alone, Hazel. I'll be accompanied by a few of my trusted men. And yes, I will take Striker with me, although one
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
