SEBASTIAN'S POV.As I made my way back to the dungeon, my mind was racing with thoughts of Hailee and what she could be planning. I knew she was cunning and resourceful, but I never would have guessed she was capable of what I was about to witness.As I approached the cell, I could hear the sounds of shouting and scuffling. At first, I assumed that the guards were dealing with a prisoner who had become unruly. But as I drew closer, I could see that something much more chaotic was happening inside.My heart began to race as I reached for the key to the cell door. What could possibly be going on in there? Had Hailee somehow managed to overpower the guards and escape? Or worse, had she found a way to access her powers and was now using them against my men?I pushed open the door and stepped inside, bracing myself for whatever horrors lay ahead. And what I saw left me stunned and enraged.The room was filled with chaos and confusion, with my guards flailing about wildly and attacking one
SEBASTIAN'S POV.As I sat in my room, trying to make sense of what had happened in the dungeon, my mind kept circling back to Hailee's escape. It was impossible, I told myself. No Alpha rogue could control an Alpha's pack, and yet that's exactly what had happened.As I tried to wrap my head around the situation, a sudden thought occurred to me: what if Hailee was a witch? It seemed far-fetched, but it was the only explanation that made any sense to me. How else could she have manipulated my guards so easily?I decided to confront her about it, and I found her working in my room. As soon as she saw me, she looked up, her eyes wide with fear."What are you doing in here?" I demanded, my voice cold and accusatory."I-I was just cleaning," she stammered, looking down at her feet."That's not what I meant," I growled, taking a step closer to her. "How did you do it? How did you control my guards?"Hailee's eyes widened even further, and she took a step back, her body trembling with fear. I
SEBASTIAN's POV.. Clara had just mindlinked me with a growl, demanding to know where I was as she seemed to have a hint of what was going on. It was a jarring interruption to the peaceful thoughts that had been running through my mind just moments before. We had been kissing, and it was passionate and intense. I couldn't get enough of her, and she seemed to be enjoying it just as much as I was. I didn't want to stop, and I couldn't stop. But now, with Clara's mindlink jolting me back to reality, I knew I had to shut her out. I focused on blocking Clara's mindlink, shutting down any connection she had with me. I knew it wasn't fair to her, but I couldn't let her know where I was or what I was doing. I couldn't let her see what was happening between Hailee and me. It was private, intimate, and not something I wanted to share with anyone. As I pulled Hailee towards me, I felt a surge of desire coursing through my body. My lips crashed against hers, hungry and demanding. I could taste
SEBASTIAN'S POV. As I struck Hailee again, the anger that had been simmering inside me boiled over. How dare she try to blame Clara for something that was clearly her own doing? I could feel the heat rising in my chest, my wolf snarling with fury.But as Hailee slumped to the ground, unconscious, a wave of guilt washed over me. What had I done? How could I have let my anger get the better of me like that? I had never hit a woman this enraged before, and the fact that I had just struck Hailee, someone I cared for deeply, filled me with self-loathing.I knelt down beside her, feeling the anger welling up in my soul. What had I become? I couldn't even recognize myself anymore. All I knew was that I needed to get away, to clear my head before I did something else I would regret.Without a second thought, I stormed out of the room, barely registering the sounds of Hailee's labored breathing behind me. I was consumed by my anger, my confusion, my guilt.As I made my way to Cl
HAILEE's POV...I opened my eyes to a blinding light that made my head throb like a hundred hammers pounding inside it. Groaning, I tried to sit up, but my body was heavy and unresponsive. I felt like I had been drugged or hit with something, and my limbs were weak and shaky.As I tried to clear the fog in my mind, I realized that I was lying on a cold, hard surface, and the room around me was dimly lit and musty-smelling. Panic gripped me as I struggled to remember what had happened to me.I remembered Sebastian hitting me, and I winced at the memory of the pain that had ripped through my body. I had never felt so betrayed and hurt in my life. I trusted him, and he had turned on me without any evidence or explanation.The more I tried to think, the more my head pounded, and I realized that I needed to get out of this place. I slowly pushed myself up, wincing at the pain in my ribs, and looked around for any signs of an exit.The room was small and dingy, with stone walls and a single
The maid entered Hailee's room, carrying a tray of food. She gasped when she saw Hailee lying on the floor, blood pooling around her head. Without thinking, she dropped the tray and ran out of the room, screaming for help.Within seconds, members of the pack were rushing to Hailee's room. They carried her off the bed and to the pack hospital, where the physician immediately began to treat her. Hailee was unconscious, her breathing shallow and labored. The physician examined her carefully, probing her wounds with gentle fingers."Her injuries are severe," the physician said gravely. "She's lost a lot of blood. We need to get her stabilized quickly."The pack members nodded, their faces grim. They watched anxiously as the physician worked, administering medicines and suturing her wounds. They held their breaths, waiting for any sign of improvement.Meanwhile, the maid had run to Sebastian's room, knocking frantically on the door. Sebastian, who was with Clara, opened the door angrily."
SEBASTIAN'S POV.I couldn't believe what I was seeing. There she was, lying on the hospital bed, looking so pale and lifeless. My heart sank as I realized how close I had come to losing her. The guilt weighed heavily on my chest, and I struggled to hold back tears.I sat down beside her bed and took her hand in mine. It was cold to the touch, and I could feel the shallow rise and fall of her chest. I wanted to reach out and shake her awake, to make her open her eyes and look at me, but I knew it wasn't that simple.The physician had told me that she was stable for now, but the damage had been done. The wound on her head was deep, and it would take time for her to heal. I couldn't bear the thought of her lying there, unconscious and vulnerable.I sat there for what felt like hours, watching her, waiting for any sign of improvement. I felt so helpless, so useless. I couldn't do anything to make her better, and it was killing me inside.The longer I sat there, the more I realized how muc
SEBASTIAN'S POV.I wake up in a cold sweat, my heart pounding in my chest. It takes me a moment to remember where I am, to shake off the lingering tendrils of the nightmare that had gripped me. But as soon as I do, the memory of Hailee floods back into my mind, and I feel a surge of panic.I can't help but think of her lying there in that hospital bed, so still and pale. The memory of her bloodied body haunts me, and I can't shake the feeling of guilt that I carry with me. I should have been there for her, should have protected her from whatever had caused her so much pain.But instead, I had been with Clara, ignoring the outside world as if it didn't matter. And now, Hailee lay in that hospital bed, fighting for her life, while I sat here in my own room, helpless to do anything about it.I try to shake off the feelings of despair and focus on what I can do to help her. Maybe there's something I can do to speed up her recovery, to make the pain go away. But as soon as I start to think
HAILEE.A month went by,Hailee and Sebastian continued to feel the sorrow of not knowing where their baby was. Hailee was mentally as well as physically drained as a result of the restless nights and relentless crying. Sebastian was tortured by seeing her in anguish and felt unable to stop it.After another day of futile searching, Sebastian brought Hailee to their room one night. As she sobbed herself to sleep, he comforted her while holding her close. He resolved to do all in his power to locate his kid and bring him back safely after seeing her in such pain.Sebastian quietly slipped out of the room as Hailee slept to care to his responsibilities as the beta and keep the pack together during this trying time. The pack was feeling quite emotional since they had missed its alpha and beta. As Arlo's absence rumors and suspicions spread like wildfire, the pack members were tense and uneasy.Sebastian put forth a lot of effort, answering questions, providing assurances, and attempting to
HAILEE.Hailee and Sebastian sat across from one another at a gorgeously set table while the garden was bathed in the mellow glow of dusk. Arlo was sound asleep nearby. In sharp contrast to the turbulence they had both experienced, the environment was serene and tranquil.Sebastian wanted to make this dinner date ideal for Hailee, so he stared at her with a mixture of adoration and tenderness. He admitted, a faint smile teasing his lips, "I've missed occasions like these. "I always enjoyed being with you, despite the fact that we used to fight sometimes."His words warmed Hailee's heart, and she stretched across the table to grip his hand tenderly. She said, her voice quiet and honest, "I missed you too. Our time was so heavily consumed by the pack's duties, although.While nodding, Sebastian fixed his gaze on hers. He replied with a hesitant, "I'd like that," in his voice. And I want to express my regret one more for how I handled you when you first came to the pack. I made a mistake
After some weeks and few days had passed the hurt and rage Hailee felt didn't go away. She was aware that in order to solve the suffering she and the pack had through, she would have to face Dolph and Clara head-on. She summoned them over to the house and got ready for a challenging and emotional discussion.Hailee's eyes flashed with piety as Dolph and Clara approached her. She couldn't believe how blatantly they had broken her confidence.Hailee started by saying, "I trusted you both," her voice shaken from crying. "You were like a member of my family to me, and you betrayed my faith in the worst way ever."Dolph attempted to cut in, "Hailee, I-"Hailee interrupted him, "No, don't interrupt," her expression flashing with rage. "You are not entitled to an explanation. Nothing you say can make what you did acceptable.Hailee's heart briefly shook as Dolph asked for forgiveness, but she was aware that it wouldn't undo the harm they had caused.Dolph remarked with regret in his voice, "
HAILEE. Finally Hailee decided to tell Sebastian what she actually saw. Taking a deep breath to steady herself Hailee turn to face Sebastian as she said. "I saw Dolph making love to Clara your fiance".Sebastian His jaw clenched in rage as his expression darkened. He found it difficult to control the wave of feelings that overcame him, including betrayal, hurt, and protective inclinations toward Hailee.You saw them together, right? Sebastian questioned, his voice laced with skepticism, hoping there had been a miscommunication.Hailee nodded while her eyes started to cry up. She said, her voice shaking with pain and danger, "Yes, I saw them having an affair together."As Sebastian became aware of the severity of Hailee's suffering, his heart sunk. He comforted her by gently luring her into his arms where he held her close. He said softly, "I'm truly sorry you had to witness that," his voice full of regret.Hailee clutched to him as she sought comfort in his company. She cried out, "I
SEBASTIAN. Sebastian comforted the wailing infant by holding him in his arms. Hailee could hear her son crying from the other room even though she was busy doing pack job. She gave him and Arlo a quick glance as they came in and groaned with a mixture of weariness and worry.He has been crying nonstop. Hailee said, casting a weary smile towards Sebastian, "I guess he's hungry and tired.Sebastian agreed, realizing how difficult it may be to care for a cranky baby. He gently rocked Arlo in his arms and replied, "All right, I'll try to feed him."Hailee carried on with her responsibilities while Sebastian assumed over, certain that Arlo was in capable hands. But just as she focused on her job, she groaned in agony and cried out a little. "Ouch!"Sebastian gave her a worried glance. He was worried and said, "What happened?"Hailee said, massaging her tender breast. "He bit me," she said. "I believe he is hurting from teething,"Sebastian's expression alternated between astonishment and
SEBASTIAN Sebastian remained beneath the pouring rain with his head cocked back, feeling the icy droplets slide down his face. He didn't mind being wet because the rain appeared to reflect the anguish he was experiencing within. The burden of the most current details left him emotionally and physically weary and worn out.He was divided in his emotions, torn between his love for Hailee and the unresolved pain from their previous relationship. He couldn't fight the want to possess a child with her or the yearning to hold her by his side for the rest of his life. He had a strong feeling of desire for a family, with Hailee as his partner and a child to continue their history.He had no choice but to express his mind as he looked up at the moon. He said, a mixture of fury and emotion in his voice, "Moon goddess, you've made my life so difficult." "I want to be with her because I love her, but it's not that easy."Then he remembered his father, the previous Alpha, who had killed the secon
SEBASTIAN. An overwhelming sense of urgency overcame Sebastian as he left the hospital with the intention of returning later to check on Hailee.Raised shouts greeted him as soon as he entered the pack house. The atmosphere was tense as two maids engaged in a heated argument. Sebastian's gaze become averted, and his dominant tendencies emerged. His powerful presence attracted attention as he approached the situation.His voice boomed across the room, "Enough!" he yelled. "What does this mean?" you ask.The maids' argument abruptly came to an end as their terrified eyes widened. "Alpha, she started it!" one of them sputtered. She has been negligent and-"To stop her, Sebastian put out a hand. "Excuses are not what I desire to hear. This argumentation is inappropriate and ridiculous. I want everything to be in order since Hailee will be going back home. Get back to work right away to make sure it doesn't happen again.Sebastian's firm tone chastened the maids, who soon nodded. Knowing
HAILEE. Hailee's eyelids twitched open as the dawn light crept in from the hospital room curtain. She remembered the previous night's incidents, including the argument with Sebastian, the death of her child's father, and the falsehoods she had spoken to shield Dolph, and fear seized her heart.Always the calm alpha, Sebastian remained by her side as soon as he noticed how upset she was. With a soft yet strong voice, he told her, "Hailee, it's okay." "The baby is secure now, and you are too.Her gaze quickly landed on her stomach, but the bulge she had become familiar to was no longer there. She felt panicky until Sebastian assured her that the youngster was secure in his arms. As he laid their infant in her arms, Hailee's trepidation transformed into exhilarating relief as she cradled her kid for the very first time, tears flowing down her face.She was able to stutter "thank you," her voice strangled with emotion.Her face was kissed by Sebastian, who did so tenderly. "You and the
DOLPH The sun soon started to set and the sky was soon painted in a day glo. Dolph had just met with Clara and he was hurrying back to the Pack. He was very happy with the way that his mind had been cleared that evening after meeting with her. Everything all seemed so clear and he was so pleased with the way things had turned out ever since he had met Clara. She seemed to have the answers to all his problems. She was always there to support him in one way or another when he was feeling down or something like that. He was very happy that he had met her because each time he mindlinked her, telling her that they needed to meet, she left immediately and they would converge at their normal place where they talked about their problems, shared their feelings and ended up making love or making out. Dolph couldn't imagine a better way to live, coupled with the fact that she was his mate. Some other girl would have rejected him horribly and that would have been very bad but she had accepted h
