2025-04-01 00:01:00ZORDON'S POV
Isla clasped my hand as we walked into the venue. The reportersโ camera lights flashed furiously as they captured as many pictures of us as they could. They screamed my name, yelling out question after question. My eyelids squinted with each snap that they took.I was a man who rarely went out in public, so the media was in a frenzy trying to catch a glimpse of the great Alpha Zordon. Ever since I became alpha, I had refused over a hundred media invitations to do interviews. I wasn't too keen on having my private business blasted on the front pages of the papers for my enemies to see.My reputation didn't stop them from asking their weird and personal questions though."Alpha Zordon, are the rumours about your Luna having a miscarriage true?" One man yelled as he stuck his camera in my face to snap my photo.I grunted, using my palm to brush his camera out of my face as I continued walking."Alpha Zordon, are you

ZORDON'S POVI must have passed out again after Isla helped me back to the bed. When I opened my eyes, I did not know how much time had passed. All that I know was that I wanted to leave this place, and I wanted to get to Daisy as soon as possible. Five days! Five fucking days and I hadn't heard from her. I managed to get out of the bed this time, and I felt happy that I finally had some sensation in my legs. However, the door was pushed open and Isla sauntered in with a funny-looking old manย โ "Alpha, where do you think you are going? I told you that you are not allowed to leave this place! I am doing all that I can to save your life. Can you please make things easier for me?" Isla asked me. She strode over to me and helped me back to the bed. "Daisy! Have you tried reaching her?" I asked her, without a care for my health. The bad feeling inside of me just got worse. I knew that something was

KENDRA'S POVA sharp pain in my stomach forced me to open my eyes. When I did, I realized I was in the hospital. The events that brought me here flashed through my mind, and I placed my hand on my stomach protectively. My baby! My baby had to be safe. Nothing could happen to my child! The door was pushed open, and the healer walked inside. "Luna, you're awake," he announced, smiling at me. "What happened to me? My baby is fine, right? Tell me nothing has happen to my child?โ I rushed all the words out. He had a sad look on his face, and I shook my head. "No! No, this can't be. It just can't be true. This can't be happening," I said, still shaking my head. How could I lose my baby? How could I lose Dexter's baby? With this child, my relationship with him would have gotten better. He wouldn't have been able to ignore me the way he always did. Why did this ha

KENDRA'S POVI stayed in the hospital for two more days before I was allowed to leave, and it was the most gruesome two days of my life. I kept holding on to hope, thinking that Dexter would have a change of heart, and he would come to see me since it was his heir that had died like that. But he didn't do any of that. He just ignored me. He didn't even think about sending a guard to come check up on me. The love I had for him was now entwined with hate, and any time I thought of him and Daisy, I wanted to stick a knife to their chests so badly. At this rate, I knew I might end up dying because of this man, but I didn't even mind it anymore. He had hurt me way too much! I was walking towards the door when it was pushed open and my father walked in, a cold and annoyed look on his face. I gasped when I saw him. I had not seen my father since I became Dexter's mate. We only communicated over the phone. If he

KENDRA'S POVAfter everything Dexter put me through, I reached a point where I understood that relying on a man of his character was no longer an option for me. He could only blame himself for what I was about to do to him! The person who was closest to him now was Tony, and I was sure that he knew everything that there was to know about the pack. The thought of that man alone triggered a throbbing in my head. Tony wasn't a fan of me. So how was I supposed to get him to fall for my charm and get on my side? I shrugged my shoulders and went to seek out Tony. I came across him sitting by the bar's window, enjoying a drink. I found out pretty easily that Tony's a regular at this bar, so I swung by hoping to see him. I took a deep breath as I approached him. I kinda hoped the alcohol would help him drop his guard.โTony, this is such a surprise running into you here! What's the deal with you sitting here all by yourself

KENDRA'S POVBack in my bedroom, I paced up and down the floor. Tony was of no help to me. After I sat there listening to him vent about being passed over to become Beta, and getting him drunk, he still didn't let me in on where Dexter was keeping Daisy. I had to find her for myself.I waited for it to get dark, then I stealthily slipped out of my room when I felt like the coast was clear. I was out walking for an hour, not sure where I was headed, when a comment from Tony suddenly made sense. Dexter was keeping Daisy in the last place I would go. Could that have been a hint from him?It suddenly popped into my head. The library was the only place I didn't like visiting. I wasn't much of a reader, plus too many books kinda freaked me out a bit. The library sat in the east of the yard. I hurried over to the east building, my heart pounding in my chest. Since Daisy left, Dexter started to spend the majority of his free

DAISY'S POVI was pissed off, tired and hungry, but most of all, I was worried about Zordon and why he hadn't come to save me. I wish I could fight, but the poison they injected me with was still in my veins, making me weak. Dexter was still here, taunting me, telling me how much he loved me and how much I loved him. I didn't know how much more of this I could take. "I told you, Dexter, I am not in love with you. I just want you to leave me alone. I have a mate I need to get back to. Besides, you are the one who sold me for your own personal benefits. So why are you trying to act like you care about me all of a sudden?" I asked him, an annoyed look on my face. "Can you please just eat, Daisy? I know you hate me. You've been here for almost five days, and you haven't eaten or drunk anything. I can hear you heartbeat weakening. So please just listen to me and do as I tell you."I sighed as he used his thumb to rub my lips. He smiled at me, scooping up more food as he tried to feed me

DAISY'S POV"I will not reject my mate," I huffed. โSo donโt even get that in your head.โ"Are we not looking at the same article?" Dexter let out a loud laugh. I went and stared at it again. I couldn't believe my eyes. This was impossible. This must be an old issue, one that was distributed months before Zordon met me. But the date showed this was four days ago. He told me he was off to fight a war with some rogues because they were wreaking havoc on the borders of the Baywatch Pack. Could it be that he was secretly seeing Isla behind my back? Could this be why she hated me so much? Because I had the alpha she wanted. Could I be yet a second-time victim of infidelity?I couldn't even swallow the lump in my throat. Not even when I got injected with poison did I feel this weak. My body felt like it didn't belong to me. I growled, turning my head away from the newspaper. "Get it away from me." "No!" Dexter barked. "I want you to see it. Look at the man you want to choose instead

KENDRA'S POVI found myself at the bar again. Tony was still there, drinking up a storm. "Hey, you're still here?" I said as I took a seat in front of him. "It's my day off and this is what I do on my day off." He ordered more liquor, and it impressed me to see how composed he still was after consuming so much alcohol. "What brings you back here? You're the Luna shouldn't you be enjoying your time somewhere else?" he rolled his eyes while he sipped on his drink. He was annoyed, I had to do or say something to get him interested in me. "Youโre right. I wish my husband would take me out on a date, but I guess I'm not as pretty as Daisy," I shrugged. โSo I'm left all alone while he plays with her in the basement of the library.โ Tonyโs head snapped to meet my gaze. โSo you finally found her.โโThanks to your hint,โ I smirked. โI donโt know what you are talking about,โ he let out with a crooked smile on his lips.

ZORDON'S POVI sat on her bed, and she looked at me. I saw it in her eyes. Something dark and distant. I just didn't know what to say or do. I couldn't let her know that I knew she had been spelled. If she realized that, she could put everyone in danger. Daisy was powerful enough to take down the entire wolf force I had built. She was that strong.I reached out and touched her hand. It was cold. She was a wolf, her body was supposed to regulate temperature, but not now. Not like this. I took a deep breath and gave her a soft smile."I just came to check on you. I didn't get the chance to say goodbye this morning, and I want you to know how sorry I am for that," I began. "I was scared... scared that Dexter might convince you to stay. I let my emotions get the best of me. I should've handled things better and I didn't. I just can't imagine my life without you. Making sure you're okay... that's more important to me than anything.""You don't have to apologize for anything," she said flat

DAISY'S POVI walked down the hallway, heading back to the sitting room where I'd left Isla. If she wasn't done with her conversation, I was fully prepared to drag her away from it. I didn't care anymore. But just as I turned the corner, I stopped in my tracks. Lila was there.She wasn't wearing a mask this time. She stood with her real face, her own face.I froze, words caught in my throat. At one point, she'd been my best friend.Lila was a witch. When we first met, she was practicing revival magic on dying flowers in the garden. Even though she looked way younger, I was only a year older, but it never mattered. I wasn't a witch and couldn't do magic, which made everything she did all the more fascinating. I used to sit and watch her bring dead petals back to life. Eventually, she noticed me, smiled, and waved me over.Witches and wolves were never meant to mix, but with her, it was different. Her parents didn't care that I was a wolf. Neither did she. She welcomed me with open arms

ZORDON'S POVI called her once. No answer.Panic spiked in my chest as I looked at Stefan. Isla never ignored my calls โ not unless something was wrong. Stefan reached for his phone, but I held up my hand, stopping him cold. We couldn't tip them off by making more noise.I called again. My grip tightened on the phone as I muttered a quick prayer.This time, she answered on the second ring."Is that him?" I heard Xavier's voice bark in the background. "Perfect timing. How fucking convenient.""Isla," I growled into the phone. "What the hell is going on? Are you both okay? Is Daisy with you?""We're fine, Zordon," she replied quickly. "We'll be heading back soon. Daisy went to see Dexter alone โ thought they deserved privacy. But she stormed outside. I'm almost done here.""You let Daisy go off alone?" My voice was low, controlled but simmering with anger. "In enemy territory? Everyone wants her. Find her. Now.""She can handle herself, Zordon," Isla shot back, steady as ever."I don't

ISLA'S POVDaisy walked away, and I immediately saw the relief flood Xavier's face. It was almost pathetic, how easily her presence rattled him. I smiled to myself, savouring the small victory. The moment she disappeared from sight, he rushed toward me, burying his face into the curve of my neck.I hated that a part of me still ached for him, even as the rest of me seethed with hatred. I had hoped to talk some sense into him, but if that failed, I was prepared for the next time we met โ and I would kill him without hesitation.I forced myself to relax in his arms. He must have felt the shift because his grip around my waist loosened. He breathed me in, as he always used to, clearly comforted by the scent he loved. A small pang tugged at my chest. I missed that too.He eventually let me go, brushing his fingers through my hair. I didn't flinch. I wasn't afraid of him. Not yet. But I kept my guard up โ he had once tried to kill Zordon. I will never forget that."I've missed you so much,

"She masked her identity so you wouldn't know she was the one who murdered the newest love of your life. She was never going to hurt you. The only person allowed to strike you directly was me. You pushed me to that decision, and I haven't been able to live with myself since. I know I've done a lot of things to drive you to where you are now, but if I could go back and change it all, I would. I would give anything to undo what I didโto stop myself from handing you over to Zordon," he said, his voice cracking."Handing me over?" I repeated, laughing bitterly. "You say it so lightly, like it means nothing. Is that how you justify it to yourself at night so you can sleep? You keep lying to yourself, and it makes sense because it's you we're talking about. You never take responsibility for your actions, and that'

"Everyone might be afraid of you, but I'm not! You're not welcome here. This is my home, my pack. I am the Luna of the Pinewood Pack, and I order you to leave!"I didn't even flinch. "You don't have to worry, Kendra. I don't plan on staying long." I tilted my head, studying her. "But tell meโwhy have you chosen to stay here with him? After all the humiliation, the beatings, all the embarrassment he's caused you... I would've thought you'd be long gone by now. Honestly, I'm disappointed. And amused." I smiled coldly. "What did he promise you that's worth enduring this? What was so precious you decided to stay even though he caused you a miscarriage?"She wasn't part of my mission. I wasn't going to get any real information from her, but I wasn't about to miss the chance to rattle her. After wha

DAISY'S POVI didn't know when I finally drifted off to sleep, but when I woke, I could immediately tell I was back in the Pinewood Pack. The air was exactly as I remembered itโheavy with tension and unease. As we drove through town, a few curious glances followed our car, their wary eyes tracking our every move. We parked a few miles from the packhouse and sat quietly for a moment.A knot twisted in my stomach. It felt like my entire being was rejecting this place. Something was deeply wrong hereโit was too obvious to ignore. I was surprised the wolves hadn't spoken up about it... or maybe they had, and no one was listening.I stepped out of the car, and Isla followed, her expression just as grim as mine. I could tell she felt the same discomfortโmaybe not with the same intensity, but it was there."Let's get whatever we came for and get the hell out of here," she said."I couldn't agree more," I replied, heading toward the packhouse.The sun was scorching, but Isla didn't seem to mi

ZORDON'S POVI watched their car pull out of the compound, and it was heartbreaking. I wanted to run after it, to beg her not to go with Isla. I wanted her to know she was more important to me than any mission. But she had made up her mind, and I wasn't going to change it.She wasn't doing this for me, she was doing it for her people.'She said she loves you. Loves us,' Eli reminded me. 'Yes. She did. And I was so stunned, I couldn't say a word.'I smiled to myself as the cold water ran down my body. I had taken a cold shower this morning, and somehow, it felt right. I stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my waist.Standing in front of the mirror after a shower had become a ritual. It was the only place my thoughts ever felt clear.A knock at the door pulled me from my mind. I glanced at my phone. It was too early for the maids; no one dared disturb me before eight.I groaned, grabbed my robe, and slid my arms into it, tying it loosely. I was just finishing the kno

DAISY'S POV"Zordon watched you for weeks before he even told you he'd seen you at the library," Isla said. "He was observing you, trying to figure out what kind of person you were. It wasn't because he found you beautiful or attractive, or even because his wolf recognized you as his mate. It was your nurturing sideโyour strengthโthat caught his attention. He told me about the omega family you helped, bringing them groceries and medicine every week."I looked at her, blinking rapidly to keep the tears at bay. โZordon never told me any of this," I whispered."That's because he likes people to think he's a big meanie when really, he's just a giant teddy bear," she smirked. "That's why I kinda hated you so much at first. It's not like I hadn't seen him with other women before, but with you... I knew you were here to stay. I knew my chances with him were over.""Thank you for telling me this, Isla," I said softly."You're welcome. Now dry your eyesโlet's get some revenge on our exes.""Ri
