Dominique's POV

I couldn't believe what had just happened. Clara had turned down my proposal to be my mate, not really turned down, but it seemed so to me. I had never been so angry in my life, not even when I got turned down by Laura. I had put myself out there, opened up my heart, and she had just brushed it off like it was nothing, telling me she'd think about it.

I looked at her sitting across from me and tried to hold back my anger that night, my imagination got a hold of me. "So, what do you say?" I asked, trying to keep my voice even.

"I'd think about it," she replied, and that's when my anger boiled over.

"I didn't ask you to think about it. I asked you to be my mate," I said, my voice rising. "Do you not understand what that means?"

Clara stared at me, her eyes wide with surprise. "Of course I do. It's a big decision."

"Then why can't you make it? What's so difficult about it?" I demanded.

Clara looked down at her hands, fiddling with her fingers for a moment before looking b

    Clara's POVI walked to and fro in my room, wringing my hands together nervously. Dominique had just proposed to me to become his Mate, and now I was in a dilemma. On one hand, accepting his proposal would mean giving up my dreams of becoming an alpha, but on the other hand, it could secure my position in the pack and give me more power.As I paced back and forth, I couldn't help but think of Betty, one of the rogue werewolves that was saved in the old factory where we thought Laura and Alexander were. I had gotten a bit close to her since she arrived, she had suggested I accept Dominique's proposal. She was as ambitious and hungry for power as I was, and I couldn't help but wonder if she had her own agenda in pushing me towards accepting.I shook my head and tried to push her thoughts out of my head. I needed to think about my own future and what was best for me. But it wasn't an easy decision to make. Being an alpha meant everything to me. It was my dream, my goal since Alexander wo

    Dominique's POVI just finished my morning run in the forest when Betty approached me with a worried look on her face. "Dominique, we need to talk," she said, pulling me aside."What's wrong?" I asked, concerned."It's Clara," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I think she's after your position as alpha."My heart dropped at her words. "What do you mean?" I asked, trying to keep my tone steady."She's been talking to me since I got close to her like you asked," Betty explained. "She's been saying things like how you're not fit to lead and how she would do a better job."I was shocked. I couldn't believe that Clara could do something like this."Don't worry, I'll take care of it," I said, patting Betty on the shoulder. "Just keep an eye on her and let me know if you hear anything else."As Betty walked away, I couldn't help but feel a sense of betrayal. I always doubted her and hence, one of the reasons why I asked her to be my mate, to keep my enemies close.I couldn't shake

    Alexander's POV I went out for a walk in the woods. I sighed deeply as I walked through the woods leading to our hideout, my mind heavily burdened with the state of my pack. The last few weeks have been tough on all of us since Chris was almost killed by a rogue werewolf. He had barely survived, but his recovery had taken its toll not just on him but the entire pack. For starters, the new pack dynamics had set us on edge, and we were all jittery around each other. It was as if no one trusted anyone anymore, and being the alpha, it was up to me to find a solution to this mess. I couldn’t let our pack be at the mercy of rogue wolves or other unfriendly werewolves. I approached our hideout and noticed the gate was wide open. That was odd. I walked in and could tell something was off as the pack members milled around not doing much of anything. There was no training, no patrolling, no preparations for battle, nothing! I stormed towards the front steps as I scanned the crowd for any si

    Clara's POVI sat in the living room of Dominique's new acquired house, my eyes fixed on the TV, but my mind wandering somewhere else entirely. Dominique was watching me from the corner of his eye, and I couldn't help but notice the way his gaze lingered on me longer than it should have. It made me feel uneasy."You seem distracted," Dominique stated the obvious, turning off the TV.I looked over at him, trying to gauge if there was any ulterior motive behind his words. "I guess I'm just tired," I hedged, not wanting to give him the upper hand.Dominique crossed his arms and leaned back against the wall. "Is there something on your mind?"I hesitated for a moment before finally speaking my mind. "I can't help but feel like you're playing a game with me, Dominique. Like you're testing me to see if I'm really on your side or just pretending to be."Dominique's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "What makes you say that?"I shrugged. "It's just a feeling I have. Something about the way you lo

    Alexander's POVIt was a rainy evening, and I was sitting on the couch waiting for Laura to come home. I had a bad feeling about her visit to her parents, especially after what had happened in the past and how they maltreated Laura.I listened to the sound of the rain tapping on the window, and soon heard the door opening. Laura walked in, and my heart sank as I saw tears in her eyes. I stood up and walked towards her, holding her close as she broke down in my arms."What happened?" I asked, my heart tight with worry."My father blamed me for Annabelle's death," she whispered amid sobs.I knew this was coming, but I couldn't help feeling angry at her father for putting her through this pain once again. I held her tight, trying to soothe her."Shh... It's alright, Laura. He doesn't know what he's saying," I said, trying to calm her down."But what if it's true? What if I am to blame? Because it feels like that." She asked, her voice shaking with fear."Stop that talk right now. You had

    Chris's POV I sat in my cabin, staring at the empty room. The silence was deafening. For years, the pack had been my family, their howls and laughter more soothing than any symphony. But that had all changed when Dominique attacked us. The pack was decimated, and our once prosperous territory was now a barren wasteland filled with people who didn't own the territory. My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps outside the door. I knew it was Alexander. He entered the room with a grave look on his face, and I immediately sensed that something was wrong. "What's the matter, Alexander?" I asked, trying to keep my voice calm. "It's about the pack, Chris," he said, his voice heavy with emotion. "I spoke to the other alphas, but they refused to help us rebuild. They said they have their own problems to deal with." I let out a sigh. This was worse than I had expected. Without the support of the other alphas, it would be almost impossible to rebuild the pack. I thought if Ale

    Laura's POV I stood in front of the punching bag, sweat dripping down my face, my fists tightly wrapped in gloves. Despite the pain that came with throwing each punch, the steady rhythm of it brought a sense of calm to my mind. It was the only way I knew how to deal with the hurt that my family had inflicted upon me after I visited them to tell them about Annabelle's death. They had blamed me for what had happened to her. The accusations had rained down upon me like a torrential storm, leaving me feeling battered and bruised. It was unfair, unrealistic, and, to be blunt, cruel. I knew deep down that it wasn't my fault, that I had done everything in my power to be there for her, but their words lingered like a festering wound, refusing to heal. I shook my head, focusing on the bag as I threw a punch. The sound of the impact echoed across the gym, and I welcomed it, appreciating the release of energy that came with it. I felt eyes on me and turned to see Alexander watching me from the

    Dominique's POVIt was a chilly morning as I made my way through the woods towards the alpha's pack territory. I had heard rumors that some of the other alphas had met with Alexander, and since he had disappeared without a trace, I figured they would know something about his whereabouts. I had to find him.I finally reached the edge of the pack's territory, and I could see the den in the distance. I took a deep breath, straightened my back, and began to run towards the den. The guards at the entrance tried to stop me, but I quickly took care of them, and barged into the alpha's den."What brings you here, Dominique?" Alpha Marcus asked, raising an eyebrow at me."I need to know where Alexander is," I growled, my eyes narrowing."I'm sorry, but I cannot divulge that information," Marcus replied calmly.My patience was wearing thin. I needed answers, and I needed them now. "You will answer me, Marcus," I said, stepping closer to him. "Where is Alexander?""I cannot betray another alpha'

    I knew he had a point, but I couldn't help feeling disappointed. "But Liam, I can protect myself. And I want to be part of the pack's success," I explained.Mike sighed, his eyes filled with concern. "I understand that, Laura, but we need someone to stay back, and that someone is you. Alexander trusts me to keep you safe while he's gone, and I can't let him down."I could see determination written all over Mike's face, and I knew that it was pointless to argue with him. However, deep down, I still wished I could go with the others.I sprang to my feet and started scanning the room for my things. My backpack was still sitting in the corner where I had left it. I grabbed it and pulled out a flashlight, some food, and a bottle of water. I slung the backpack on my shoulder and jogged outside. Mike kept, bugging me and followed me outside.Our den was surrounded by thick woods. The air carried a heavy scent of earth and pine needles. The sun was full scorch, and its light was bright enough

    Dominique's POVI never believed in mercy. I was born an alpha, raised to be strong, fierce, and deadly. Compassion was a weakness, one that I had no intention of indulging in as I stared down at Alpha Marcus, bloodied and bruised, his pack cowering behind him in fear.He had been my prisoner for days, and despite my best efforts, he had refused to divulge any information about the whereabouts of Alexander. There had been moments of intense pain, moments when I glimpsed something in his eyes, something that hinted at knowledge of Alexander's movements, but he had remained stubborn, remaining silent, refusing to give in to the pain.Beating upon beating, different styles of interrogation and tutoring done, but he wouldn't bulge.That wasn't the case today. Today, as I looked down at him, I saw something different in his eyes, a desperation that was both unfamiliar and uncomfortable to witness. With one final burst of strength, he pushed himself up from the ground, his breath coming in
