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: I looked at Xavier with an annoyed look.I could believe he followed me when I thought he promised to let me do this alone. But what can I do."What are we going to do?" I asked Xavier.He sighed. "I don't know," he said. "This can only be the work of Nabitha. She's the only one who would want to hurt us."I looked up at him in surprise. "Nabitha?" I said. "Her again, but what has our son done against her? Why would she do this?""I don't know," he said. "Maybe is envious as she's always been jealous of us. She's never liked the fact that we're together."I nodded. "She's always been a troublemaker," I said. "But I never thought she would do something like this.""Me neither," he said. "But we need to be careful. She's not going to stop until she gets what she wants."I held my son close.I was lucky I found him in time before those men in black took him away. "I won't let her hurt him," I said. "I'll do whatever it takes to protect him."Xavier put his arm around me. "
Uriahs POV: The next morning,I looked around our pack, which used to be so lively, now looking like a deserted place. My heart ached as I saw the ruins of our homes and the charred remains of our pack.I"The home we once knew is all gone," I said to Xavier with a sad look.He helped me to my feet. "This will all be over soon," he said. "Nabitha will pay for what she's done."Our son, Arion, started crying unconrollably. "We need to get him to a safe place," I said. "He's too young to see all of this."Xavier nodded. "I agree. Let's go."We started to walk away, but then we were surrounded by a group of people in black. They all had crazy eyes, and I could feel the hatred radiating from them."Who are you?" I asked, my voice trembling.The leader of the group smirked. "We're here for Luna Uriah," he said with a cold laugh."Nabitha sent you?" I asked.He nodded. "Well it seems you have made a lot of enemies these past few years huh. Well Alpha Nabitha does indeed want you to pay
Uriah's POV: Night came, I watched as Xavier kissed me passionately and then lay down beside me, his eyes closed in exhaustion. I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over me. I held his hand tightly, finding comfort by his presence.Just as I was starting to drift off to sleep, one of Xavier's right-hand people, Anya, entered the room. She found us an I don't think much about it. She had always been loyal and trustworthy, and I knew we could count on her. She approached us cautiously, her eyes filled with concern."Luna Uriah, Alpha Xavier," she said softly. "I have an important task to fulfill, one that requires your trust."I sat up, my heart starting to race. "What is it, Anya? What do you need?"Anya took a deep breath before continuing. "I need you to entrust Arion to me. I will take him to a safe place, far away from here. I promise you with my life that I will protect him."My heart clenched at the thought of parting with my son, but I knew that this was the be
