ARNOLD POVKylie's tears continued to flow, her voice barely above a whisper. "I didn't have the strength to face your disappointment, Arnold. I was afraid of losing you completely, of becoming someone you couldn't love anymore. I thought by leaving, I could protect what we had, even if it meant sacrificing my own happiness."Arnold's heart shattered at Kylie's words. He had never imagined that she had carried such guilt and fear all these years. He pulled her into a tight embrace, holding her as if he could shield her from the pain they had both endured."I'm so sorry, Arnold," Kylie sobbed, her voice muffled against his chest. "I never wanted to hurt you. I never wanted to lose you."I could feel.how hurted she was and couldn't help but pull in for a very tight hug as she sobbed in my chest and i tried to console her,“It wasn't your fault.” I muttered,“It was fully my fault, I did what I thought was right…I followed the words that were said to my ears.” Kylie said and at that plac
KYLIE’S POVI stared at Arnold who walked away and towards his wife Sarah and then aggressively pulled her hand and took into a room and even though I really felt so jealous about everything I still couldn’t say a thing.I took my seat close to Fredrick and he turns to smile at me before dropping his phone beside me and sitting close to me.“What was Arnold whispering to you? I heard you two hated each other because something happened during you two youth day, so why is he suddenly favoring your opinion over hers.” Fredrick asked and even though I was very surprised that even Fredrick who had just gain consciousness was ale to notice I couldn’t help but put on a fake smile on my face…“There is nothing between me and Arnold and he used to be my first mate bla bla bla and now he is just trying to assure me that not even his wife would come in between our mission to find my son Ryan but I won’t just ever be able to stop hating Sandra, like she did something bad my guts can feel it and
Kylie’s povWe shared a bond that went beyond friendship, a bond that had been forged in the fires of our shared past. And no matter how hard I tried to ignore it, the pull towards him was impossible to resist.But I also knew that pursuing a romantic relationship with Arnold would come at a great cost. It would jeopardize not only our friendship but also the delicate balance of our group dynamics. I couldn't bear the thought of causing rifts within our team, especially when we were on a mission to find my son, Ryan.So, despite the burning desire within me, I pushed my feelings aside and put on a mask of indifference. I refused to let Sandra's warning shake me. After all, I had a duty to fulfill, and that duty required me to prioritize the mission above my own personal desires.As Sandra stormed out of the room, her anger radiating off her in waves, I couldn't help but feel a mix of relief and longing. Relief that I had managed to keep my true feelings hidden, and longing for a futur
Kylie’s povAs my chest rested on Arnold chest for some really weird reason I was really at peace, I had made such a huge mistake and begged for forgiveness and even though I was well aware that I won’t be able to ever tell Arnold what has really happened that day I couldn’t help but thank Arnold for forgiving me….as long he had seen me for who I really was that was more than enough.We pulled away from each other and he still had a smile on his face.“Why didn’t you come back to my life earlier than expected? You had to wait till now and made me marry Sarah?” Arnold whispered to me abd immediately moved back…he was beginning to regret, he was regretting everything which wasn’t a good sign for me who was stil madly in love with him too, I didn’t want to be the cause of him and Sarah going their separate ways as she had already warned me not to ever get involved.“What’s wrong? Why do you see me to be a little hesitant?” Arnold asked me but I couldn’t tell him I still wanted to reject
Sarah’s PovI stood in my matrimonial room and stared at my bed which had been made like that for close to three days and neither Arnold nor I slept on it. We were both busy, he was busy taking care of his mate and I was busy trailing him around..I became so impatient when I saw the kind of deal he made with that witch just to save Kylie, why can’t he just let her die!!!I knew I shouldn’t have blown my cover and let him know I had a way of always tracking him no matter where he goes….but Kylie kept pissing me off each time she acted like she was so innocent when she wasn’t.Yes, Arnold had made me leave that place but I would make sure to return there even without letting him know about it.I stared at the room one last time and became even more determined..I would make sure to bring my husband back to this house, I knew this was going to happen…I knew she would want to return here and start claiming she was Arnold first mate, and what would happen if Arnold or Kylie finds out that
Sandra’s PovI sat in my car and tried to get information on what else I could do to get back at Kylie, even if all my hopes were on Karl I still didn’t know how to find him and that when a news popped up on my phone, Karl was paying a ransom for anyone who would find Kylie out of her hiding place.I looked up and I was in front of Arnold and Kylie's hiding place, I didn’t even have to search for him because he found me either way which made me smile on fulfillment.I stared at the number to be sure it was really him before calling him.He didn’t pick at the first and second ring but at the third one he picked and really sounded fierce on the phone, I wondered why Kylie would leave such a powerful and fearless human like Karl just to be with my Arnold?“My name is Sandra and I can give you the location of Kylie without collecting a dime from you.” I said to him while trying my best to sound a bit mysterious, he chuckled loudly before speaking.“Do you think I can fall for your online
Sandra’s PovI tried to hold in my anger but everything was so painful, here I was trying to get him back to his alpha’s position and his busy falling deeply in love with Kylie.“I wish you could just kill her!!” I yelled angrily, and that made Karl laugh, and his laughter was really oozing anger.“I should be the one advising you to kill Arnold because now that I found out he is her first mate, and he is ready to kill her second chance mate, it means Arnold is just as desperate as I am.” Karl said, and I couldn’t help but gulf nervously.“I apologize, but I just hate Kylie so much, just like you hate Arnold.” I said to Karl, but he rolled his eyes and took his seat staring at me.“How are you even sure that you two are mates? If he was really your mate, and you were his second chance mate then he is supposed to love you so much that he won’t even care if Kylie exists, from what I heard…if your mate is even taken from a person, that person can get weak and almost die, and it can’t sto
Sandra’s Pov “I'm willing to do anything to make him see that I'm the one he truly belongs with.”Karl sighed, his gaze softening. “I understand your pain, Sandra. And while I can't promise you that removing Kylie will solve everything, I'll consider your request. But only under one condition.”I looked at him, hope flickering in my eyes. “What condition?”“You have to promise me that you'll give Arnold a fair chance to choose,” Karl said firmly. “No manipulation, no forcing his hand. Let him see the real you, the one who truly loves him. If he still chooses Kylie, then you'll have to accept it.” I couldn’t believe Karl could say that, I could see it in him…he wants Kylie to be Arnold's weakness and then take advantage of the situation.“I won’t accept them together, that’s final, and I know Arnold will soon come back to his senses… I promise you that.” I said, but deep inside I was a bit doubtful and wasn’t sure he might pick me after all.“Can we stop talking about Arnold and Kylie
Xander’s PovAs days turned into weeks, the rift that had once threatened to tear us apart seemed to heal, replaced by a newfound sense of closeness and unity. The forgiveness Allegra had extended to me washed away the lingering doubts and fears, leaving in its wake a sense of peace and contentment that I had long yearned for.Each day brought with it a renewed sense of purpose as we embraced the opportunity to reconnect with her father, Alpha Arnold, in ways we had never thought possible. As we delved into shared memories and created new ones together, the bonds of family grew stronger, weaving us together in an unbreakable bond of love and acceptance.One afternoon, as we sat together in the garden, basking in the warmth of the sun, Alpha Arnold turned to me with a smile, his eyes filled with warmth and affection. “Xander,” he began, his voice tinged with emotion. “I never thought I'd have the chance to get to know you like this.”I smiled back, feeling a surge of gratitude for the
Allegra’s PovI asked that question, and Xander sighed, running a hand through his hair as he struggled to find the right words. “I never meant to hurt you,” he began, his voice tinged with remorse. “But I was desperate, Allegra. Desperate to protect you, to keep you safe from those who would seek to harm you.”I furrowed my brow, confusion flickering in the depths of my eyes. “Protect me?” I echoed the words, heavy with disbelief. “From what?”Xander hesitated, his gaze shifting away from mine as he wrestled with his own inner demons. “From my past,” he finally admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. “From the enemies I've made, the battles I've fought, and the secrets I've kept.”My heart clenched at his words, a sense of foreboding settling over me like a dark cloud. “What secrets?” I demanded, my voice trembling with emotion. “What aren't you telling me, Xander?”Xander took a deep breath, his eyes filled with regret, as he met my gaze. “I'm not who you think I am, Allegra,” h
Allegra’s PovAs I stood in the clearing, buoyed by the wisdom and compassion of the Moon Goddess, a newfound sense of clarity washed over me like a cleansing tide. With each passing moment, the raw ache of betrayal began to ebb, replaced by a steely resolve and a determination to confront the challenges that lay ahead.Gathering my strength, I wiped away the last of my tears and squared my shoulders, ready to face Xander and my father once more. As I made my way back to the house, my heart pounded in my chest, a mixture of apprehension and determination coursing through my veins.As soon as I stepped through the door, Xander's eyes met mine, his expression a mix of relief and apprehension. Without hesitation, he rushed towards me, arms outstretched, ready to envelop me in a comforting embrace. But I held up a hand, stopping him in his tracks.“Not yet,” I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper. “I'm not ready.”Xander's brow furrowed confused, and his eyes filled with concern. “Al
Allegra’s PovAs the truth crashed down on me like a tidal wave, I couldn't stop the overwhelming surge of emotions that threatened to consume me. Betrayal, confusion, heartbreak—they all swirled together in a maelstrom of agony, tearing me apart from the inside out. How could Xander, the one person I thought I could trust with my life, betray me in such a way? Was our entire relationship built on lies and deceit?I stumbled out of the house, my chest constricted with pain, and my vision blurred with tears. I didn't care where I was going; I just needed to get away to escape the suffocating weight of betrayal that hung heavy in the air. With each step, the forest seemed to close in around me, the trees towering above me like accusing sentinels.As I ran, my power surged within me, responding to the turmoil raging inside me. Anger, raw and potent, bubbled up from the depths of my soul, fueling my every step and propelling me deeper into the heart of the forest. With each stride, my spe
Xander’s PovAs Allegra stormed out of the room, frustration, and guilt gnawed at me, leaving me feeling utterly helpless. I knew I had upset her, but I couldn't suppress the gnawing fear that had been eating away at me since Alpha Arnold's revelation. The thought of losing her, of being left alone once again, terrified me more than anything else.I paced the room, my mind racing with conflicting emotions. On one hand, I wanted nothing more than to make Allegra happy and to support her in her quest to reconnect with her father. But on the other hand, the selfish part of me couldn't bear the thought of losing her or watching her slip away from me.As I wrestled with my thoughts, a knock on the door startled me out of my reverie. A guard stood at attention, delivering a message from Alpha Arnold requesting my presence in his office. I nodded in acknowledgment, my heart sinking at the thought of facing him again.As I made my way to Alpha Arnold's office, I couldn't shake the feeling of
Allegra’s PovAs Alpha Arnold revealed the unexpected news that I was his daughter, a whirlwind of emotions swept through me. Happiness, disbelief, and a sense of belonging all mingled together, leaving me feeling like I was standing on the precipice of a new chapter in my life. But as I turned to share my joy with Xander, I was met with a wall of silence and a stormy expression on his face.“Xander, aren't you happy?” I asked, my voice filled with hope as I searched his face for any sign of joy.He hesitated for a moment, his gaze shifting away from mine. “Of course, I'm happy for you, Allegra,” he replied, his voice strained.But I could see the truth lurking behind his words, the tension radiating from him like a palpable force. “Then what's wrong?” I pressed, unable to ignore the unease settling in the pit of my stomach.Alpha Arnold, ever-perceptive, seemed to sense the tension between us. “I'll give you two some space,” he said, rising from his seat. “But Xander, I would love to
Xander’s PovAs Allegra spent the rest of the day with Alpha Arnold, I found myself wandering the vast grounds of his estate, lost in my thoughts. Alpha Arnold had instructed one of his guards to provide us with the most comfortable room in his house, and as I made my way there, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease gnawing at the pit of my stomach.Alone in the room, I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy as I thought about Allegra spending time with Alpha Arnold. I had grown accustomed to having all of her attention, and the thought of sharing it with someone else, especially someone who could potentially be her father, left me feeling unsettled. I paced the room, wrestling with my emotions, wishing I had tried harder to convince Allegra to leave with me.Hours passed, and just as I was beginning to resign myself to the fact that I might not see Allegra for the rest of the day, she finally returned. The excitement in her face was palpable as Alpha Arnold dropped her off, and a
Allegra’s PovXander, refusing to believe or accept the possibility of me being Alpha Arnold's daughter, shakes her head, frustration bubbling to the surface. “Even if there is a chance, it changes everything,” they argued, desperation creeping into their tone. “We have our lives and our packs to think about. We can't just upend everything because of some wild theory.”He watches me closely, searching for any sign of uncertainty in my expression. But to his dismay, I felt oddly calm about the situation, my eyes fixed on the photograph in my hands.I look into his eyes, and I see that he couldn't fathom how I could entertain the idea of being Alpha Arnold's long-lost daughter, especially considering the fact that it would probably change a lot of our lives.“You can't actually be serious,” he interjected, frustration bubbling to the surface as he snatched the picture from me. “Tell me you're not actually considering this.”My gaze met his, my eyes betraying a hint of hesitation. “I kno
Allegra’s PovI never thought I'd see a garden as beautiful as this in my life. The person who planted it must have taken great care in handling it because it looks so wonderful.Even as I'm enjoying the garden, my mind keeps going back to Xander and the wound he suffered from fighting the green wood pack, formerly rogue Alpha. I hope he's well.Just as I was thinking about him, I heard his voice calling my name. Allegra," he calls out, his voice rough with urgency. “We need to leave.”I turn to him, surprise written across my features. “Leave? But what about the Greenwood pack? We can't just abandon them,” I protest, my brow furrowing in concern.He shakes his head, his resolve unwavering. “We've done all we can here. It's time to go,” he insists, his tone brooking no argument.But I'm not so easily swayed. I argue back, my voice rising with frustration as I plead my case for staying. We go back and forth, each of us standing firm in our convictions.I pleaded my case for staying, my
