Xavier's POV:With an exhausted body, I knew this was just going nowhere .Uriah and I returned to the pack, still disguised as rogues, our hearts pounding with anticipation. We had been on the run for weeks, and the weight of our secret weighed heavily on our shoulders. As we made our way through the pack, trying to blend in, we couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The tension in the air was palpable, and whispers of uncertainty echoed through the ranks. Something wasn't right.Just as we were about to find a secluded spot to regroup and assess the situation, Minege, who is now our trusted allies, intercepted us. His eyes darted around nervously before he pulled us aside, his voice low and urgent."Uriah, Xavier," he said, his voice laced with concern. "I just overheard a conversation between Nabitha and the Alpha of the pack. It seems she knows about your real identities."My heart dropped, a mix of fear and anger coursing through my veins. How could this have happened? W
Uriah's POV:After my conversation with Xavier, I needed some fresh air to clear my thoughts. The weight of our decision to confront Nabitha bore heavily on my mind, and I hoped that the serenity of the river would bring me some solace. As I made my way outside, the cool breeze washed over me, offering a brief respite from the chaos within.Lost in my own thoughts, I caught sight of a figure near the river. Instinctively, I knew it was Minage. He had been a trusted ally, but something about his presence sent a shiver down my spine. And he wasn't alone. With him stood a man dressed in black, one of the member of Alpha Denzer's pack who attacked Xavier and I . Questions swirled in my mind, and unease settled in the pit of my stomach.“Mineg?” Minage's expression remained unreadable, his gaze shifting between the man and me. My heart sank as the truth dawned on me. Minage had been playing us all along. He had never been truly with us in this upcoming war.I took a step back, a
Uriahs POV: With a final burst of strength, I continued to fight against my restraints, a glimmer of hope igniting within me. No matter how dire the situation appeared, I knew that our allies were out there, ready to rise against this tyranny.As I fought against the odds, a silent vow formed in my mind. We would not be defeated. We would find a way to turn the tide, to protect our family, and to ensure that justice prevailed. As I struggled against my restraints, my head pounding with pain, my surroundings shifted from darkness to a dimly lit room. The decor was nothing like the familiar comfort of our house with Xavier. Instead, the room exuded an eerie elegance, with crimson curtains draped over ornate furniture and an air of malevolence that hung heavily in the air.My heart raced as I realized I had been tied to a bed, my movements restricted. Panic threatened to overwhelm me, but I fought to stay composed, my mind racing to find a way out of this predicament.Just as I mus
Xavier's POV:I returned home after a long and arduous meeting, my mind preoccupied with thoughts of Uriah. As I entered our house, I called out for her, but there was no response. The maids informed me that she had gone for a walk, and a sense of unease settled within me.I waited anxiously, hoping that Uriah would return soon. But as the sun began to set and the night descended upon us, a feeling of foreboding washed over me. Something was wrong, and I couldn't shake off the nagging sense that Uriah might be in danger.Leaving the house, I ventured into the darkness, determined to find her. Every passing moment increased my worry, fueling my resolve to protect her at all costs. Uriah was my everything, and I couldn't bear the thought of her facing any harm.As I walked through the silent streets, my heart raced, my mind conjuring up all sorts of scenarios. The quietude of the night amplified my concerns, and I quickened my pace, searching for any signs of Uriah.Finally, in th
Xavier's POV:I tightened my grip on Uriah's hand, drawing strength from our love and the unyielding desire to reunite with our son, Arion.I glanced at Uriah, seeing the flicker of determination in his eyes. "We're almost there, Uriah," I said, my voice filled with conviction. "Stay focused, and remember, we're doing this for Arion."He nodded, his gaze unwavering. "I won't let anything stop us, Xavier. We're going to bring our son back."We moved forward, our steps deliberate and purposeful. The weight of the impending battle hung in the air, but I refused to let fear cloud my judgment. As we entered the fortress, the atmosphere grew oppressive, amplifying the tension that coursed through our bodies. I signaled for Uriah to stay close as we navigated the dark and winding corridors, staying alert for any signs of danger.Then, we found her. Nabitha stood before us, a malicious smile playing on her lips. I felt a surge of anger and protectiveness sweep over me as I locked eyes w
Uriah's POV:He smiled warmly, his eyes reflecting his unwavering commitment. "Uriah, you are incredibly strong. I'm proud of you for enduring all that you've been through." “Can you guys stop being lovey dovey for a while. Ain't we the same people having a war here” Nabitha said with her eyes rolled.“You do not know the meaning of what we call love. If not you wouldn't have left Tyler in a comma and gone around pursuing other people's pack. You are pathetic “I said with a cold look.“Oh dear Uriah, you see through everything don't you” Nabitha said with a cold smile.She didn't look like she was in trouble. She seems more like she is having a leisure time on the beach.“Take her away” Xavier said and I looked at him with a gratitude look.“Thank you” I said quietly at him.He knew me better than anyone else.I might want to defeat Nabitha, but for the sake of my father, I knew I can not hurt her.“Loser” Nabitha said with a sacastic smile as she was carried away. Just then, Res
Uriah's POV: Fatigue tugged at my limbs, but the thought of Arion's face pushed me to new limits. He was our anchor, our reason to fight, and we would not fail him.We pressed forward, never relenting, knowing that our bond and love for each other would guide us through the darkness. We fought not only for ourselves but for all those who had suffered under Nabitha's tyranny.And then, with one final strike, we incapacitated all of Nabitha allies.They fell to the ground, defeated and at our mercy. The room fell silent, save for our ragged breaths as we stood over her, victorious."It's over, Nabitha," Xavier declared, his voice carrying the weight of our triumph. "Your reign of darkness ends now."Nabitha's eyes bore into mine, a sinister smile etched on her face. "You may have won this battle, but the darkness will find a way. Remember my words, for it will always seep through."Ignoring her taunts, I turned to Xavier, my heart swelling with a mix of emotions. Relief washed over
Uriah's POV:With Nabitha defeated and the fortress behind us, a mixture of relief and elation surged through my veins. The weight that had burdened my heart for so long was gradually dissipating, replaced by a newfound sense of freedom and hope. Yet, as we stepped into the light, my thoughts immediately turned to our son, Arion, and the urgency to reunite our family.As Xavier and I walked hand in hand, I couldn't contain my excitement. The anticipation in my heart grew with each step, and my longing to hold Arion in my arms again intensified. The bond between a mother and her child had been strained by Nabitha's sinister actions, and I yearned for the opportunity to nurture that connection once more."Xavier," I said, my voice filled with urgency, "we need to hurry. We have to meet Arion as soon as possible."Xavier looked at me with a reassuring smile, his eyes filled with love and understanding. "Uriah, my love, we will see Arion soon. Anyan has been taking care of him, as prom
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
