Arnold’s PovAs Sasha and I made our way back to the hideout, I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. Something didn't feel right. The fact that Sandra wasn't at the location where we had seen her car was puzzling. It made me question who was really after us and what their intentions were.When we arrived at the hideout, I immediately noticed that the guards who were supposed to be stationed outside Kylie's room were nowhere to be seen. Panic surged through me as I rushed towards her room, fearing the worst.I burst through the door, my heart pounding in my chest. To my relief, Kylie was sitting on the bed, seemingly unharmed. However, her expression was a mix of confusion and annoyance.“What's going on, Arnold?” she asked, her voice laced with frustration. “Why are you acting so paranoid?”I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. “The guards, Kylie. They weren't outside your room. I don't know what happened, but it's not safe.”Kylie rolled her eyes, clearly not taking
Sandra's Pov My hand began to shake as we drove through the woods multiple time and couldn’t find Kylie and Arnold hideout and even though I was sure back then that I would find them I could y help but wonder I couldn’t find them, I couldn’t even trace Arnold scent with our mate's bond.Karl looked at me angrily as Emily tried to use her with powers to track Arnold and Kylie down, but she kept repeating how a shield by another which was blocking her and that was Sasha and that even pissed Karl more.I felt a knot forming in my stomach as Karl's rage intensified. I had promised him that we would find Kylie, and now it seemed like a promise I couldn't fulfill. The fear of his reaction weighed heavily on me.As we drove back to Karl's house, the tension in the car was suffocating. Karl's silence was deafening, and I could feel his anger radiating off him. I didn't know what to say or how to calm him down.When we finally arrived at his house, Karl slammed the car door shut, his face red
Sandra’s PovI packed my backpack and ran outside as fast as I could when Karl let me go, as I couldn’t dare waste one more minute before getting to wherever I was supposed to be. I needed to see the witch that helped me track down Arnold, as the potion she gave me was not even working anymore.Karl ordered one of the guards to give me his car and I drove it quickly to the top of the mouth's in where I usually met the witch, but what I saw made me almost stumble and run back…it was Kylie standing there and waiting for me with an evil grin,“I finally caught you and all your secrets.”I snapped out of my daze, my heart pounding in my chest. It was just a dream, a nightmare. Kylie hadn't caught me, and I still had a chance to find Arnold and bring him back to Karl.I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing thoughts. I looked around and realized I was still stuck in traffic, far from reaching the witch who had always helped me. The fear of Kylie interfering with my search for Arnold
Sandra’s PovI felt a surge of determination wash over me. I knew exactly what I needed to do. I had to get my hands on something that belonged to Kylie, something that would prove her connection to Arnold. It wouldn't be easy, but I was willing to go to any lengths to make it happen.“I will bring you what you ask for,” I declared, my voice filled with determination. “But I need it until nightfall. Give me until then to gather the requirements.”The witch nodded, her eyes gleaming with a mixture of curiosity and intrigue. “Very well,” she said. “You have until nightfall. Bring me what I seek, and I shall grant your request.”With the precious vial of potion clutched tightly in my hand, I left the sacred ground, my mind racing with plans and possibilities. I knew that obtaining something that belonged to Kylie wouldn't be easy, but I was willing to do whatever it took to make Arnold love me unconditionally.As I drove back to the city, my thoughts were consumed by the task at hand. I
Arnold’s Pov I sat at the front yard of our new hideout and my thoughts went back to Sandra, I still wasn’t able to believe she betrayed me so easily….she wasn’t in the palace when I went to check on her which made me wonder if she had truly gone to be on Karl side over her husband and mate which was me.Kylie walked towards me with a glass of milk in her hand and a coat in her other hand.“You shouldn’t be out here all alone…what are you thinking about? Sandra?” Kylie said and I couldn’t help but fake a chuckle.“I am not thinking about her because I love her but because I feel really hurt with what she did to me.” I said trying to make it Clear to Kylie that I won’t stop loving her over Sandra.“You don’t have to say it in that way, I was just asking and don’t feel insecure about Sandra in anyway.” Kylie said to me which made me happy.Kylie's words brought a sense of comfort to me. She understood that my thoughts about Sandra didn't mean I had any lingering feelings for her. I a
Sandra's PovI was at the front of the hideout and I could vividly remember we drove past this house but why was I unable to track him down then…well, that didn’t matter now as I had found him but didn’t know how to confront my husband because he had seen me as a threat now. He must think that I betrayed him because I could remember seeing some movement from the window as I surveyed the environment to which clearly meant Arnold had seen me.I was about to walk in anyway and face Arnold whether he was going to hate me or not, and the least I could do was cook up a lie to feed him.I walked out of my car and closer to the house when I saw him walk out and that was when Arnold walked out of the house and took a seat and even though he looked worried I still adored my husband but just when I was about to seize the opportunity Kylie walked out and joined him; he seemed to be reassuring her about something….she smiled and hugged him and after long hours of chatting she walked inside, and I
Sandra's PovTears streamed down my face as I realized the gravity of my actions. I had lost the trust of the two people I cared about the most. But I couldn't give up. I had to find a way to make them see the truth, to make them believe in me again.“I understand if you can't forgive me,” I whispered, my voice choking with emotion. “But please give me a chance to prove myself. I will do whatever it takes to make things right, to protect both of you.”Arnold's gaze softened slightly, but the pain in his eyes was still evident. “I need time, Sandra. I require time to process everything. I don't know if I can trust you again, but I'm willing to listen.”I nodded, my heart filled with a glimmer of hope. “Thank you, Arnold. That's all I ask for. Just give me a chance to show you that I'm on your side.”As Kylie watched us, her expression remained cold and distant. I knew that convincing her would be even harder than convincing Arnold. But I was determined to make things right, to earn bac
Arnold's PovI looked back at Kylie in astonishment, why would she say something like that? I walked towards her and held her in the shoulder.“How can you say something like that!! Why would you leave?!” I yelled angrily and shook her back and front hoping she would get herself back, but she wasn’t.“Why aren’t you answering me! Talk to me?” I said to her, but she looked away and out of surprise I let go of her shoulder, and she stepped away from me.I couldn’t believe she had really meant what she had just said.“Stop acting this way, and please be serious?” I said to her, but this time with a more decent voice as I noticed my anger wasn’t truly helping the situation.I stepped back and looked at Sandra who was just standing there innocently…even though I didn’t honestly want to believe her and take her and most especially now that I knew I still loved Kylie so much.“Kylie, please don’t do this and just try to be neutral and accept her the way she is.” I said to Kylie hoping my wo
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
