Arabella's POV

At that moment, I realized that my survival hinged on making a choice.

The options lay before me, each one carrying its own set of risks and uncertainties. If I chose to trust Max and stay, I would have to rely on him to navigate this dangerous situation.

If Max was lying, I would be no worse off than if I had jumped out the window. But if he was telling the truth, if he could offer me a chance to escape this nightmare, then I had to take it.

There was no denying that he had deceived me, but perhaps his warning had been genuine. On the other hand, if I attempted to escape through the window, I would be risking an encounter with Alpha Nick's men and jeopardizing any chance of finding a way out.

My mind raced, weighing the possibilities and their potential outcomes. Could he truly be my ally? Was it worth the risk to place my trust in him once more?

I took a deep breath, centering myself amidst the chaos of my thoughts. The adrenaline coursing through my veins made it

Its waves crashed against the rocks below, urging me to dive into the unknown and take the risk.As Nick's men closed in, their eyes filled with sadistic pleasure, I could feel the adrenaline coursing through my veins. The sound of their heavy footsteps reverberated in my ears, intensifying my desire to leave.

No one can save you now."His words echoed in my mind, igniting a will to escape within me. "Looks like you'd have to jump, Bella," I said to myself. "I would not let him have the satisfaction of seeing us break."Without

    Arabella's POV"Did you really kiss the Alpha?" Gary asked me and turned to the man bathing in the darkness. "Is she the one you were telling me about?”"Yes," he coldly said and turned around, walking away."Please," I begged, crying. "Alpha Asher, please. I'm sorry for what I did. I didn't mean to, please forgive me.” I begged, crying profusely and Gary looked at me, pity flickering in his eyes."Please, Alpha. Let's help her. She could be useful to you one day,” he suggested and Alpha Asher stopped in his tracks.I almost shot Gary a dirty glare. What did he mean by useful? I didn't leave my pack to come here and serve another fucking Alpha! The Alpha I kissed at that! I was about to ask what he meant by useful but the pain in my leg reminded me of what was at stake. To serve him for a while and then be free, or to die and not be able to do anything again. "Useful?” Alpha Asher asked, breaking my thoughts."Yes, yes. I'll do whatever you want. Just help me, please. I don't want t

His presence was intoxicating, and every fiber of my being yearned to give in to his magnetic pull.I swallowed hard, torn between the temptation that called me and the rational voice in my head urging caution. Gathering myself, I straightened my posture and met Alpha Asher's gaze head-on but he stood up immediately."Alpha Asher, I .." "We'll talk later," he stood up, his presence leaving a void in the room. The air seemed thinner, colder without him close by. I watched as he walked towards the door, his broad shoulders and confident stride commanding attention."Wait," I called out, unable to contain the sudden wave of longing within me.He turned back to me, a hint of a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "Yes?" "Nothing." I quickly lied and he nodded."Okay. And remember, if you need anything, Gary will be here to assist you."Just as he finished speaking, the door swung open, revealing Gary.

I quickly got off the bed and moved towards the door, thinking of eavesdropping on his conversation so I'd know if I should escape and how.However, before I could even reach the doorknob, I heard a knock and I froze, not knowing who was there. Deciding to remain mute, I waited hoping the person at the door would say his name.Luckily, the sound of a familiar male voice came through and I opened the door for Gary to come in. The door swung open, revealing Gary's tall and imposing figure standing in the doorway."Arabella, we need to talk," Gary said with urgency, his voice laced with concern and he walked in, closing the door behind him. "There's a man outside. His name is Alpha Nick. I heard what he said, and I know he's looking for you. Why? If the Alpha should fi

Each step felt heavy with anticipation, the weight of the impending meeting pressing upon me.Finally, we reached the door of Alpha Asher's room. Gary paused, placing a reassuring hand on my shoulder.

The intensity in his eyes urged me to respond, but I needed to gather my thoughts before I could give him an answer."Alpha Asher," I began softly, trying to find the right words. "Being with you feels incredible, and there's no denying the bond between us. But I believe that intimacy is sacred, one that should be cherished and nurtured. I want our connection to be built on a solid foundation, one that goes beyond physical desires. I'd want us to wait till after the ceremony."He smiled and his grip on me loosened slightly as he listened intently to my words, "I respect your decision, Arabella," he said sincerely and I heaved a sigh of relief.Motioning for me to join him on the bed, I went to him and he asked, "Tell me, Arabella, what do you envision for us?

"Your father explained the situation between you and the other Jere brother. “Is there a way to unlink us from each other? I don't want to be linked to him. And my blood, isn't there a way to remove that too?” I asked with hopeful eyes.“They asked me this and I will tell you the same thing I told them. Breaking a bond like yours is no easy feat.

There was something more, something ominous lurking in the shadows."Jeremy," I whispered, my voice shaky. "What does it mean? Why would we both dream something so vivid and unsettling?"His eyes darted nervously, and for a moment, I wondered if he held a piece of the puzzle he wasn't ready to share. "Why did we have the same dream?" I asked and this time he opened his mouth to speak."We're connected. As for the dream, I don't know…"A surge of anxiety tightened my chest. "But what if it's a warning? What if something terrible is about to happen to Dad or you?"Jeremy hesitated, his jaw clenched. "We have to be careful. I think you should call your witch friend," he said, then turned around, an air of mystery following him as he left.

Breaking the barrier at the door was only the first step. But now, we need the map that brought you here."I nodded, determined to free my father from this mysterious confinement. I retrieved the aged map from my Jeremy and handed it to him. As he studied it, a solemn expression crossed his face."This map is more than just a guide," he murmured. "It holds the key to the enchantment that keeps me here. We must decipher it together."I leaned closer, my eyes fixed on the intricate details of the map. "Tell me what to do, Father. I'll do whatever it takes to free you."He muttered a few incantations, his fingers tracing the lines on the map. Suddenly, the room seemed to shift, as if responding to whatever he was saying.

    Asher's POVJeremy led me to a secluded corner of the house, away from prying eyes and curious ears. The air was heavy with tension, and I fixed him with a glare that could pierce steel."Explain yourself," I demanded, my voice low and threatening. "What happened with Arabella? And why the hell is my sister claiming some... connection with you?"Jeremy ran a hand through his wet hair, raindrops falling onto the floor like a steady beat. "Look, Asher, I didn't plan for any of this. I found Arabella outside, unconscious. I have no idea why she was there or what caused her to faint. And as for your sister, Ava, I can't explain that either. It's not something I control."I scoffed, unconvinced. "You expect me to believe that? We've been through enough without adding mysterious mates and fainting episodes to the mix. I need answers."He sighed, a weariness in his eyes. "I know it's hard to believe, but I'm not your enemy here. As for Ava, the connection she feels is real, even if it defies

Thinking it was Jeremy, I ran in.Entering the living room, my eyes widened in disbelief at the scene before me. Jeremy stood there, his soaked figure revealing that he was in the storm outside. Yet, it wasn't the rain that held my attention, it was the limp form of Arabella he cradled in his arms."What the hell happened?" My voice came out, filled with shock and anger. I glanced between Arabella's unconscious form and Jeremy's stoic expression."She fainted," Jeremy explained calmly, his eyes meeting mine. "I found her like this outside. I didn't see you, so I brought her in."I could feel the heat rising within me. "Fainted? Why was she outside in the first place?""I don't know. She was just standing there, and then she collapsed.
