**Alpha Xavier’s POV**

I was near the border with my men, mapping out the best route to avoid attracting the guards' attention, when I noticed one of my men running toward us. He wasn't part of the team assigned to the mission, which immediately alerted me that something was wrong. It was a messenger.

"Alpha!" I heard the muffled shout as he crossed the river in his wolf form, the water splashing under his strong paws as he raced toward our camp. The emblem of our pack gleamed on his chest, making him easily identifiable, but the bloodstains scattered across his body indicated that he'd faced some sort of fight before reaching us.

"What the hell is he doing here?" My beta, Josh, muttered beside me, frowning as he watched the spy approach.

"He's one of the ones I left guarding the pack," I responded darkly, my eyes fixed on the wolf as he shifted back into his human form. "His job was to inform me if anything went wrong while we were away."

The spy finally reached us, his body exhauste

    POV CassandraThe throbbing pain in my head slowly brought me back to reality, in a slow and confused haze. My vision was still blurry, and a lingering dizziness persisted as I tried to make sense of where I was. The metallic taste of blood in my mouth and the smell of roasted meat in the air gave me a vague idea of what might be happening.“Well, well, our princess is finally awake!” A voice dripping with sarcasm sounded behind me, and the sound sent a cold shiver down my spine.My eyes opened, squinting against the firelight. I instinctively turned away, trying to escape the brightness that burned my retinas, and that’s when I saw them. Five men, sitting around a fire, tearing chunks of meat with their teeth, as if there was nothing unusual about keeping me prisoner.I tried to move, desperate to assess the extent of my situation, but a sharp pain shot through my body. I looked down and realized I was tied up with thick, tightly wound ropes. My attempts to loosen the knots only made

    Pov cassandra"Take her to Room 37!" Beta Caleb's deep voice echoed in my ears, making my head throb even more after the long and exhausting journey. My legs no longer responded, and at times, exhaustion overtook me so completely that I lost consciousness, being mercilessly dragged by the horse that pulled me. There wasn’t a shred of compassion from any of them.The five men surrounding me were a horrendous spectacle of cruelty and filth. Each of them carried their own misery, but there was one, in particular, who terrified me more than the others. He never took his eyes off me, a dirty and hungry gaze, as if he were waiting for the slightest opportunity to take advantage of my vulnerability. My heart clenched every time our eyes met, but Beta Caleb seemed to ignore it all, completely focused on getting me to the hearing. If there was one thing keeping me relatively safe at that moment, it was the Beta's fixation on completing his mission. His eyes never left me, and as strange as it

    **Alpha Xavier's POV**We were already near the royal palace. Hidden in the dense forest that surrounded the place, we camped just a few meters away. It had been two relentless days of travel, with no long breaks, forcing my soldiers to march tirelessly. Now, exhausted, they could barely stand. It was clear they needed rest."According to the information, Cassandra was brought to the palace at noon. We still don’t know the exact time of the audience with the King Alpha," said my Beta, while absentmindedly looking at the crumpled map we had. He shrugged, as if he was used to this kind of situation. But I wasn’t. Every minute lost felt like a knife in my throat, filling me with anguish knowing that Cassandra could be in danger.The detailed map of the pack and the layout of the palace were the only tools we had to devise a rescue plan. We had men infiltrated at the location, ready to help us, but the idea of using them was risky. Any false move would not only put the mission at risk but

    **Cassandra's POV** "Cassandra, is that really you?" Ursula's soft voice echoed in my ears, sending an immediate shiver down my spine. I trembled at the familiar sound and soon felt her gentle touch on my face. Her hand, though trembling, was careful, as if she was trying to remember every detail. Her eyes had become clouded with age, and what once had been a firm and determined gaze was now blurred, showing that blindness was near. "I'm so happy to see you... after so long." She smiled slightly, continuing to explore my face with her fingers, as if she wanted to make sure it was truly me. "Ursula?" My voice was filled with confusion. "What are you doing here? Why didn't you return as we promised?" I couldn’t understand what was happening. I clearly remembered our escape, our pact to never return to this pack. And now, seeing her here, in this place, left me completely disoriented. I had only come back to find her, but I never imagined she would be involved with the new Alpha K

    **POV Cassandra**"Ursula… I…" I stammered, my throat tight with nerves, unable to form a coherent sound. I knew I needed to tell the truth, no matter how terrifying it was. My hands trembled, and my heart raced as I clung to the wall beside the hallway, trying to keep myself upright. "I already found my mate… or at least, I think I did."Ursula froze. Her serious expression grew even graver, as if she were waiting for the words to complete a nightmare she feared. Her cold hands released my face, and she took a few steps back, hesitant, almost in panic."Who is your mate, Cassandra?" she asked, her voice low but heavy with palpable tension. Her lips trembled, as if simply asking the question risked opening a deep wound. The air around us seemed to grow heavier.I lowered my head in shame, unable to bear the weight of her gaze. I knew what was coming next would be devastating, but there was no avoiding it any longer. A solitary tear escaped, tracing a burning line down my face. The tru

    **POV Cassandra** I swallowed hard as I felt a heavy hand grip my arm brutally, its fingers digging into my skin like claws. Before I could react, I was yanked forcefully, almost losing my balance. "Answer me, girl! I spoke to you!" the soldier growled, his voice filled with anger. I felt the wolf inside him radiate aggression, his presence domineering and threatening. I knew very well what that meant. The Imperial Guard had always been fiercer, crueler than the troops of other packs. Their training was brutal, and my father, being one of the former commanders, knew all too well the ruthless practices that forged these soldiers. "I... I..." I stammered, nervous. I took a few steps back, trying to shake free in the hope that he would release my arm. But before I could truly react, he punched me in the face. Pain exploded in the corner of my mouth, the taste of blood spreading across my tongue. I let out a groan of pain, surprise washing over me. He didn’t even know me, yet he didn’

    **POV Cassandra**"Behave, slave, or the King might order your head cut off!" the guard growled, releasing my arm with brutality and shoving me toward the imposing entrance of the room. The dark walls of the corridor seemed to absorb what little light there was, making the atmosphere even more oppressive.I swallowed hard, my feet hesitant as I moved toward the Alpha King's office. The arm he had gripped was still red, and a dull pain throbbed beneath the bruised skin. The tension in the air was suffocating. When I reached the door, a deep and authoritative voice echoed from inside."Enter!"My body trembled at the command. I took a deep breath and pushed the heavy door open. There was faint lighting in the office, just enough to reveal the silhouette of a man sitting with his back to me, his hands busy with papers scattered across the desk. He wore a fine linen shirt, but what caught my attention most were the runes and tattoos that marked his arms, accentuating his sculpted muscles.

    POV CassandraThey locked me in the room, even after I had accepted the Alpha King's proposal. I was thinking of a way to escape, but after he decreed my sentence to servitude, that could worsen things, and I would become a fugitive criminal. I thought about going back to the cursed Alpha, but I didn’t want to bring trouble to him and his pack. Xavier had been kind to me, and all I did was treat him like someone hostile and insignificant. But Ursula's words wouldn’t leave my mind."I can’t undo the spell, maybe it’s better this way. You need to stay away from the cursed Alpha."I didn’t know any other witch besides Ursula. The truth is, they were rare and were almost wiped out with the Salem witch hunt. If I remember correctly, the humans hunted them as if they were animals, just for being different and possessing powers and knowledge that most didn’t have.I remember that many of them managed to save themselves by aligning with the packs; the Alphas provided them protection in exchan

I sat in the dark corner of the cell, arms wrapped around myself, trying to suppress the trembling that overtook me. The chains on my wrists were heavy, but not as heavy as the weight of the accusations hanging over me.The echo of firm footsteps interrupted the oppressive silence. I lifted my head, quickly wiping away the tears that had fallen without my permission. I couldn’t appear weak, not in front of him. And there he was, Alpha Damon, standing outside the bars, wearing that cold, mocking smile that made me want to scream."What do you want here?" I asked, my voice firmer than I had expected.He entered the cell with the confidence of someone who knew they were in control.

    **Xavier's POV**Days had passed since the dust of war had settled, and I was finally crowned king. A grand ceremony took place, filled with ancient rituals and solemn words, but for me, the most significant moment was when Cassandra, by my side, received the crown of Luna. As the weight of gold was placed upon her head, I knew that, despite everything, she was my anchor, the reason why all of this was worth it.I looked at her, admiring her strength, even after all she had endured. There was an undeniable sadness in her eyes, but also a determination that made me believe that together we could overcome anything.After the coronation, my focus shifted to rebuilding the pack. The palace, devastated by the conflicts, began to be restored. The wounded soldiers received care, and the people returned to their homes. I made it a point to visit the families who had lost loved ones, offering help and ensuring that the future would be different. I promised myself that my leadership would be ma

    The pain of childbirth had been excruciating, but nothing could compare to the wave of love that washed over me when I heard that fragile, delicate cry for the first time. My baby was here, in my arms, so small, so perfect.He was a boy. A beautiful, healthy boy, with eyes that, although newly opened, seemed to gaze directly at me. His skin, still red from the effort of entering the world, glowed under the flickering light of the flames illuminating the sky in the distance."My love... my boy..." I whispered, tears streaming down my face as I cradled him to my chest. Even with my body still aching from the pains of childbirth, I couldn’t take my eyes off him. I kissed his small forehead, feeling the warmth of his skin, and silently thanked the goddess of the moon for giving us this moment, even amid the chaos.But the moment of peace was brutally interrupted.The door was smashed open with a crash, and a group of men entered, their faces dirty and filled with hatred.

    **Alpha Xavier's POV**The smell of gunpowder and blood filled the air as we led the attack on the central hall. I could hear the echoes of our wolves' howls mixed with the cries of resistance from Alpha Valetim's guards. Everything was going according to plan — we were surrounding the palace, closing off all escape routes.Ahead of me, one of Valetim's army commanders trembled, his eyes darting quickly over the men surrounding him. His breathing was heavy, and I could see the sweat dripping down his face."You’re surrounded," I said firmly, my deep voice cutting through the air. "It’s no use resisting. This isn’t just a battle, it’s the revolt of the people. Your tyranny, and that of King Valetim, is over. There’s no way out for you. Surrender and open the gates."He hesitated, gripping his sword with trembling hands. I could see the conflict in his eyes — a mix of fear and desperate loyalty. Before he could respond, one of my men advanced, pressing the sharp point of a blade against

    *POV Cassandra*As I followed the servant through the dark corridors, we heard the unmistakable sound of Alpha Valetim’s voice echoing nearby. He was coming toward us. My heart nearly stopped, and for a moment, I froze.“It’s him...” I whispered, instinctively placing my hand on my belly.The eunuch glanced at me, alarmed, but remained calm.“We need to leave now! If he finds you here, Alpha Xavier’s plan will be ruined,” he said urgently, trying to pull me toward the exit.I looked in the direction of Valetim’s voice and felt a wave of despair. I knew he suspected something. If he realized I was trying to escape, not only would he imprison me again, but he would destroy all of Xavier’s efforts to save us.“Wait,” I whispered, gripping the servant’s arm firmly. “I need to throw him off track.”“That’s madness! Alpha Xavier wants you safe. You have to come with me now!” he whispered, almost desperate.“Trust me. I’ll delay him. Go to the meeting point and wait for me. I promise I’ll co

    **Cassandra's POV**The months dragged on like centuries since Xavier disappeared. The last thing I heard was from some servants who claimed to have seen him working as a simple carpenter in a humble house nearby. They mocked him, calling him "The Crippled Alpha." The title had spread, and the rumors of his disability made him the subject of ridicule.His pack had abandoned him. When Valentim brought his punishment to everyone, most ran to save their own skins, including Jennie. From time to time, I would hear of hunts, captures, and the executions that followed. Valentim thought all of it was a big joke.Worse than the rumors were the photos. He sent them to me like slow poison, depicting Xavier limping, leaning on a cane, his exhausted face. Each image came with a messenger carrying gifts that piled up high in my room. They were never opened. I didn’t need to look to know they contained more insults than sincere intentions.That day, a servant entered, carrying a new batch."Luna, K

    POV ALPHA XAVIERI was dragged through the dark, damp corridors of the dungeon like an animal about to be slaughtered. My wrists were bound by iron shackles that dug into my skin, causing constant pain. Two guards shoved me with every hesitation, their eyes filled with contempt. Finally, they stopped in front of a cell that smelled of urine, decay, and despair. Without ceremony, they threw me inside, and I stumbled, falling to the filthy floor.The sound of the iron door closing echoed through the dark space. I struggled to get up, wiping the blood from the corner of my lips, only to notice that the floor was infested with rats scurrying back and forth, fighting over pieces of spoiled food."Enjoy the hospitality, Cursed Alpha," one of the guards mocked. He held a plate with what looked like moldy bread and a bowl of sour broth. He pushed the food through the small opening in the cell and smiled maliciously. "This is your only meal of the day. Better save it."I didn't respond. I simp

    **Cassandra's POV**The hall plunged into chaos the moment Valentim drew the knife. My heart stopped as he approached Xavier, his gaze overflowing with hatred."Valentim, don’t do this!" I screamed desperately, but he seemed to not hear.Xavier raised his arms defensively, trying to deescalate the situation."There’s no need for this, Valentim! Leave Cassandra and our child out of this. Deal with me, but not like this!"Valentim didn’t respond. With a swift movement, he grabbed Xavier's arm, pulling him close, and before I could even scream, the knife glinted under the light of the hall before plunging into the side of Xavier’s abdomen, just below his ribs. A muffled sound of torn flesh echoed through the hall, followed by Xavier’s scream of pain."Traitor!" Valentim roared, pointing the bloodstained knife at the guards around us. "The Cursed Alpha tried to kill me! He conspires against the kingdom, and for that, his whole pack will be condemned!""NO!" My scream ripped through the ai
