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
Xavier's POV: My mind raced, considering our options as I said to myself ,"We need to act quickly as she commanded . We can't allow her plan to not succeed.” Victor nodded, a glimmer of judgment replacing his earlier guilt. "I'm with you on this Xavier. I'll do whatever it takes to protect the pack and ensure that the Lycan king's plans are prevented."As Victor turned to leave, a thought crossed my mind. "Wait, Victor," I called out, stopping him in his tracks. "Why do you believe me? You're Nabitha's lover, her loyal lackey and ain't you jealous with what happened between the two of us earlier today? "Victor's gaze met mine, his voice filled with sincerity. "I may have been entangled with Nabitha, but I've come to see the manner in which she works and how she sees things within her. I want a better future, not just for myself, but for everyone who follow under her rule. You offer that hope, Xav, and I won't let that be destroy "I studied Victor, his words resonating with
Nabitha's POV:As I observed Xavier's reactions to my proposition, a mix of amusement and frustration filled me. How dare he reject me? How dare he refuse the power and privilege I was offering him?But there was something about Xavier, an enigmatic quality that intrigued me. And he also looked very familiar but I couldn't sense how I know this guy. His defiance sparked a fire within me, igniting a desire to possess him, to bend him to my will.His words of loyalty to his pack and his mate were like a bitter taste in my mouth. How could he prioritize them over the opportunity to rule by my side? It was a weakness that needed to be exploited.I watched him as Victor stormed into the chamber, his jealousy and anger palpable. His presence only served to heighten the tension in the room, and I relished in the power play unfolding before me.Victor's voice dripped with venom as he demanded, "What is happening here?"I stepped forward, my gaze flickering between Xavier and Victor. "V
Uriah's POV:Mineg's warning about Nabitha's impending attack was troubling, but his presence and his sudden change of heart raised questions in my mind. Could we truly trust him? Was this a genuine act of redemption, or a clever ploy to gain our trust?I turned my attention back to Mineg, studying him intently. "You expect us to believe that you suddenly have a change of heart, Mineg?" I asked, my voice firm. "After everything that has happened between us, why should we trust you now?"Mineg met my gaze, his eyes filled with sincerity. "Uriah, I understand your doubts, and I know I have made mistakes in the past. But seeing the darkness and destruction caused by Nabitha's alliance made me realize the error of my ways. I want to make amends and help you fight against her tyranny."His words held a certain conviction that made me pause. Despite the pain and betrayal I had experienced, I couldn't help but sense a genuine desire for redemption in Mineg's voice.I turned to Xavier, seek
Uriah's POV:As the meeting with Mineg concluded and we made our preparations for the impending battle against Nabitha's alliance, a nagging unease settled within me. Thoughts of our son, vulnerable and alone in the pack's den, clouded my mind. I needed to ensure his safety before we embarked on this dangerous mission.Approaching Xavier with determination, I spoke up, my voice filled with urgency. "Xavier, before we launch our attack on Nabitha, I must go back to the pack's den and check on our son. I can't shake this feeling of unease. I need to see him, make sure he's safe."Xavier's brows furrowed with concern as he listened to my request. "Uriah, it's too dangerous. We can't afford to take any risks. What if something happens to you? We need you by our side for this battle."I held his gaze, my resolve unwavering. "I understand your concerns, Xavier, but as a mother, I have this overwhelming need to ensure our son's well-being. I won't be at peace until I see him with my own ey
Xavier's POV: Kidnapped.Arion kidnapped. This was what made Uriah leave in a hurry. I watched as Uriah rode away, her worried look etched on her face. I knew she was right to go after our son, but I couldn't help but feel a pang of fear for her safety.I turned to the other leaders of our pack who were all in disguise , who were gathered around me. "I need to find out who took my son," I said. "And I need to do it fast."One of the leaders, a grizzled old wolf Garek , spoke up. "I'll send out my scouts to gather information," he said. "We'll find out who's responsible for this, and we'll make them pay."I nodded. "Thank you, Garek. I'll keep Uriah updated on our progress."As the other leaders dispersed, I turned to my second-in-command, a young wolf named Anya. "Anya, I need you to stay here and coordinate our forces," I said. "I'm going to go after Uriah and help her find our son."Anya nodded. "I understand, Alpha. I'll keep the pack safe while you're gone."I stared hard
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
