Xavier POV:The weight of the impending battle hung heavily on my shoulders as Uriah and I gathered our allies, finalizing our plans to expose Nabitha's rogue alliance. The urgency in her voice reminded me of the danger we all faced, and the responsibility to protect our pack and the innocent lives at stake."Xavier, we need to ensure that our evidence is solid," Uriah said, her voice filled with determination. "We can't afford any doubt when we confront the other packs. They need to believe in the threat and join us."I nodded, fully aware of the gravity of the situation. "You're right, Uriah. We need concrete proof to convince the other packs. Let's gather all the information we have and cross-reference it to build an airtight case."Uriah's eyes sparkled with a mixture of relief and determination. "Thank you, Xavier. I know we can do this together."The room buzzed with tension as we worked alongside our allies, each contributing their expertise to the cause.As we reviewed the ga
Xavier's POV:I took a deep breath, my heart pounding. This was my chance to gather valuable intelligence and assess Nabitha's demeanor up close. I needed to keep my disguise intact while subtly probing for information.With a confident smile, I crouched down and examined the tracks on the forest floor. I pointed out details that a skilled tracker would notice, embellishing my observations with fictitious experiences from my supposed past.Nabitha watched me intently, her gaze calculating. "Impressive," she conceded, a hint of grudging respect in her voice. "You might be of use to us after all. Follow me, and we'll discuss the details further."As we walked deeper into the pack territory, I listened carefully to their conversations, hoping to glean any hints about their plans or weaknesses. Nabitha spoke openly, unaware that the rogue by her side was, in fact, her greatest adversary."Soon," she mused aloud, "we will strike when they least expect it. Our combined strength will cr
Uriah's POV:As Xavier hurried back to our rendezvous point, I couldn't help but feel a mixture of hope and trepidation. He was our best chance at gathering critical information about Nabitha's plans, but the stakes were higher than ever. The impending battle loomed over us like a dark cloud, threatening to shatter everything we held dear.When Xavier finally arrived at our camp, exhaustion etched into his face, I felt my heart skip a beat. I locked eyes with him, searching for any signs of success or failure. His presence alone was a glimmer of hope amidst the encroaching darkness."Xavier, you're back. Tell me everything," I urged, my voice filled with a mix of anticipation and concern. I needed to know what he had discovered, what insights he had gained from his encounter with Nabitha.He took a moment to catch his breath, and I could sense the weight of the encounter on his shoulders. I waited, my eyes fixed on his, prepared to absorb whatever information he had to offer.With
Uriah's POV: I looked around the house, noticing an unfamiliar face among the people bustling about. Curiosity piqued, I approached one of my servants and inquired about the stranger. "Who is this person?" I asked, gesturing towards the man. "He is the second-hand man of the Alpha of the pack called Mineg," the servant replied. The name struck no chord within me, as I was unfamiliar with Mineg and his pack. Nonetheless, my instincts told me to remain cautious. I had learned not to trust easily, especially when it came to unfamiliar wolves. As I continued my day, going about my tasks, I caught sight of Mineg looking in my direction. His gaze held a mix of intrigue and something else that I couldn't quite discern. A smile played upon his lips before he turned away, leaving me with a sense of unease. I averted my gaze, dismissing his presence from my mind. I had no interest in getting involved with any wolves from other packs, especially not now, when our focus needed to
Uriah's POV:The next day, as Xavier left once again to enter Nabitha's new alliance, I found myself at home, reminiscing about happier moments we had shared. It was important to hold on to those memories, to find solace in them amidst the chaos that surrounded us.As I sat with my maids, discussing the past adventures and joys we had experienced together, one of them suggested that we visit the famous bar within the pack. The idea sparked intrigue and excitement among the maids, but I hesitated."I appreciate the suggestion," I began, my voice filled with caution, "but as Luna, it might not be advisable for me to go there. There's a chance of being recognized by Nabitha or one of her men."One of my maids, ever persuasive, chimed in, "But, Luna Uriah, you deserve some time to unwind and enjoy yourself. We'll be with you, and we'll make sure to keep a low profile."After a brief internal debate, I agreed, realizing that I, too, needed a respite from the weight of responsibility. So,
Uriah's POV:.As I closed my eyes, I offered a silent prayer to the moon goddess , to the forces that governed our world. May our resolve remain unbroken, and may our efforts be rewarded with a future filled with peace and prosperity.As I lay down, the familiar scent of the room washed over me, bringing a sense of comfort and familiarity. I didn't even need to open my eyes to know that Xavier had joined me. His presence enveloped me as an arm wrapped around me, pulling me close.I turned to face him, a smile tugging at the corners of my lips. "How was your day at the palace?" I asked, my voice filled with genuine curiosity.Xavier sighed, his expression heavy with the weight of his discoveries. "Nabitha is truly a born evil woman," he replied, his voice tinged with a mixture of frustration and concern. "She plans to attack a packs that has been peacefully coexisting for years, simply to expand her control and gain more slaves."I shook my head, a sense of resignation washing ov
Xavier's POV:As I held Uriah in my arms, her warmth and presence provided a soothing balm to my weary soul. The weight of responsibility and the magnitude of the impending conflict rested heavily on my shoulders.Her question about my day at the palace brought me back to the grim reality that awaited us beyond our intimate cocoon. I sighed, a mix of frustration and concern etching lines on my face. "Nabitha is truly a born evil woman," I replied, my voice heavy with the weight of my discoveries. "She plans to attack a pack that has been peacefully coexisting for years, simply to expand her control and gain more slaves."Uriah's words held a mix of resignation and disappointment, echoing my own sentiments. "My sister, even if we are not blood-related, has never been one to embrace goodness or kindness. I had hoped she would change at some point, but now I see that was a futile hope."I tightened my grip around her, silently promising to protect her and all those who suffered under
Xavier's POV:The next day dawned, and I reluctantly resumed my role as a lackey in Nabitha's court. Disguised once again, I moved through the palace corridors, maintaining a facade of subservience while my mind focused on the mission at hand.Eventually, Nabitha summoned me to her chamber, seeking more information about my origin. As I entered, I kept my eyes downcast, careful not to reveal any hint of defiance. She sat regally on her throne-like chair, her gaze fixed upon me."Xavier right ," she purred, her voice dripping with false sweetness. "Tell me, once again, where do you come from? What is your true background?"I maintained a calm demeanor, hiding my true thoughts behind a mask of neutrality. "As I've told you before, Alpha Nabitha, I am a rogue. My origins are shrouded in mystery, even to myself."Nabitha's eyes narrowed, her lips curling into a smile that held a hint of wickedness. She moved closer, her hand reaching out to rest on my shoulder, her touch sending a shi
Uriahs POV:After my intense confrontation with Alpha Denzer, the days that followed were surprisingly calm and peaceful – or at least as peaceful as they could be in such a grim situation. I had made a choice, a difficult one, to act like a devoted mate to Denzer for the sake of my son, Arion. While I couldn't bear the thought of being intimate with him, I had to keep up the act to keep my son safe.Denzer seemed to give me space, and I was grateful for that. He didn't push himself on me, and I took advantage of this by keeping my distance whenever he tried to be close. I always found an excuse or pretended to be occupied with some task, making sure there was a barrier between us at all times. It was a delicate balance, not too submissive, but not too rebellious either. I knew that the moment I resisted too much, it could endanger Arion's life.In the days that followed, I spent most of my time with Arion. Alpha Denzer allowed me to be with him, and I cherished every moment we ha
Xavier's POV:I immediately summoned the pack members and relayed my suspicions. "Anya might have acted through a proxy," I explained. "It's time we find out who might have helped her."Lucas and the others nodded in agreement, and the search took a new direction. We questioned every pack member, and it wasn't long before we found a lead—a young wolf who seemed nervous and evasive."Tell me the truth," I demanded, staring into the young wolf's eyes. "Did you have any involvement in Uriah's kidnapping?"His gaze shifted, and he hesitated before finally confessing. "Yes, Alpha. Anya coerced me into helping her. She threatened my family if I didn't do as she said."My heart sank, realizing that Anya's web of deception had ensnared others as well. "You will be forgiven if you cooperate fully," I said sternly. "Tell me everything you know about the kidnapping."He hesitated, fear still evident in his eyes, but he eventually provided valuable information. He revealed the location where Any
Xavier's POVI stood in my study, my mind focused on the task at hand. I needed to find Uriah, and to do that, I had to start from the beginning. My instincts told me that Anya had been hiding something, and I needed to confirm my suspicions."Beta Lucas," I called, my voice steady. Lucas was one of my most trusted advisors, and I knew I could rely on his judgment.He entered the room promptly, bowing respectfully. "Alpha Xavier, you called for me?""Yes," I replied, "I need you to gather a team of our best trackers and investigate the place where Uriah was last seen with Anya before she was kidnapped."Lucas furrowed his brow. "But Anya claimed that Uriah willingly left with Alpha Denzer on her own."I fixed him with a cold look. "Anya had hidden herself and her ambitions very well. She wouldn't make up a story about Uriah leaving of her own free will with Alpha Denzer."Lucas hesitated for a moment, then nodded in understanding. "You're right, Alpha. I apologize for being short-sigh
Xavier's POV:After the party celebrating Alex's first birthday, the little one was sent back to his room with the help of his nanny. Meanwhile, the elders, including Anya, and I had gathered for a small gathering. Food and drinks were brought out, but no one dared to bring up Uriah's missing issue. They all knew my temper, and they didn't want to risk annoying me further.As I took a seat at the table, the elders greeted me warmly. "Alpha Xavier, it's good to see you join us," one elder said with a smile."Yes, it's been a while since we all gathered like this," added another elder."I'm glad we can come together and celebrate," I replied, trying my best to appear relaxed.Anya, sitting next to me, chimed in, "Indeed, it's a joyous occasion. Baby Alex's first birthday is a momentous event for the pack."Another elder raised his glass and said, "To the future of our pack and to the health and happiness of our young Alpha."We all clinked our glasses together, toasting to the well-
Xavier's POV: As the days stretched on, the search parties scoured the forests and neighboring territories tirelessly. We followed every lead and pursued every possible clue, but Uriah seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth. Then, one day, as I was contemplating our next move in the study, I received a message that Anya wanted to see me again. This time, I rushed to her room with a mix of hope and anxiety. Upon entering, I saw her lying on the bed, her face still pale and her eyes red from crying. I approached her cautiously, unsure of what to expect. "Anya," I said gently, "how are you feeling?" She looked up at me, her expression filled with sorrow and regret. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she began to apologize profusely. "Alpha Xavier, I'm so sorry. I betrayed your trust, and I couldn't protect Uriah," Anya begged. “It's okay,” I said with a calm look as I looked at her . “I am suppose to protect this pack. But all that I have done is cause pains. I'm no
Xavier's POV:Days turned into weeks, and the search for Uriah seemed to be fruitless. Every lead we pursued turned out to be a dead end, and my heart sank with each passing day. Anya remained in a coma, and she was the only person who could shed light on what exactly happened in the forest that fateful night.One day, as I was discussing some ideas with the pack's scouts on how to track Uriah, I received urgent news that Anya had awakened. I hurriedly left the study room and rushed straight to Anya's room.When I entered, I saw her lying on the bed, her face pale and her eyes filled with tears. My heart softened at the sight of her vulnerability, but I pushed away my emotions, focusing on the urgency of the situation."Anya," I said coldly, trying to hide my own turmoil, "what were you doing in the forest that day with Uriah?"Tears streamed down Anya's face, and she began to beg for forgiveness. But I couldn't afford to be swayed by emotions. I needed answers.She stammered, "Uriah.
Xavier's POV:After the devastating encounter with Alpha Denzer and the truth revealed by Anya, I knew I couldn't face this alone. The burden of finding our son and protecting Uriah from further harm was too great. I needed the wisdom and counsel of our elders and betas. Gathering them in the pack's meeting hall, I laid out the situation, my voice filled with determination and sorrow."I called you all here because we face a grave crisis. Arion has been taken from us, and Uriah is in pain beyond measure. I need your advice on how we can handle this situation and bring our son back home safely," I said, looking into the eyes of my pack members, hoping to find some guidance.The elders and betas exchanged glances, understanding the severity of the situation. After a moment of silence, Beta Elias stepped forward, his voice firm yet compassionate."Alpha Xavier, we stand with you and Luna Uriah during this difficult time. We shall do everything in our power to find Arion and put an end
Alpha Denzer's POV:Luna's defiant words lingered in my mind as I left her to stew in the darkness. "I will never be yours, Alpha Denzer. My heart belongs to Xavier, and I will fight you until my last breath." Oh, how she tried to resist. It amused me to see her struggle, but she had no idea of the depths of my determination.A week had passed since I last visited her. It was time to remind her of her precarious situation and the consequences of defying me. As I entered the dimly lit room, her fierce gaze met mine, but I could sense the fear hidden beneath her anger. Perfect."Where is my son? What have you done with him?" she demanded, her voice wavering just enough to betray her uncertainty.I took a step closer, relishing the opportunity to toy with her emotions. Gripping her chin firmly, I replied, "You should watch that mouth of yours, Luna. You're in no position to make demands."Her eyes burned with hatred, and I felt a rush of excitement at the challenge she presented. "Tell m
Uriahs POV:But my hope was short-lived when I discovered that the opening led to another part of the palace, heavily guarded by Alpha Denzer's most loyal and vicious betas.I knew attempting to escape through that passage would be suicidal, but I couldn't give up. I needed to find a way to get to Arion and break free from this nightmarish prison.Each day, I observed the movements of the guards, searching for any weakness or vulnerability that I could exploit. I had to be patient, calculating, and seize the right opportunity.One night, the perfect moment presented itself. A guard left his post momentarily to attend to something, leaving a small window of opportunity.I sprang into action, my heart pounding in my chest. I moved as quietly as a shadow, slipping past the remaining guards, and making my way towards where Arion was being kept.But fate had other plans for me. Just as I was about to reach my son, a strong hand gripped my arm, pulling me back into the darkness."Did you re
