Xavier's POV:As I embraced Uriah, I couldn't help but feel a rush of emotions. Her familiar scent and touch brought back memories of happier times, and for a moment, it felt like we were back in sync."How are you, Uriah? Are you feeling any better?" I asked sincerely, looking into her eyes.She nodded, a soft smile on her lips. "Yes, I am, Xavier. Being with you makes everything better."I felt a pang of guilt, knowing that I had been distant and had added to her stress. "I'm sorry for pulling away, but I couldn't stand the pain. I needed time to process everything.""I understand, Xavier, and I'm sorry too. I never wanted to cause you any pain," she replied, her eyes filled with sincerity.Uriah excused herself and left for the washroom.Just then, her phone buzzed with a notification. I had no intentions of snooping, but it was placed so close to me that I couldn't help but read the message. My heart sank as I saw the name Jessica and the mention of a plan to meet Alpha Tyler,
Uraih's POV: As Xavier embraced me, a mixture of emotions flooded my heart. His touch and familiar scent brought back memories of happier times, and I longed for us to be connected again. It had been a challenging few weeks, and our relationship had suffered, but being in his arms now felt like a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness. "How are you feeling, Uriah? Are you better?" Xavier asked sincerely, peering into my eyes with concern. I nodded, a soft smile forming on my lips. "Yes, Xavier, being with you always makes me feel better. I've missed you." Guilt consumed me, knowing that my actions had caused him pain. "I'm sorry for pulling away. I needed time to process everything," he admitted, his voice tinged with regret. "I understand, Xavier, and I'm sorry too. I never wanted to hurt you," I replied, my eyes filled with sincerity. I had kept things to myself, hoping to protect him from unnecessary worry, but it had only led to further misunderstandings. We talked about
Uriah's POV:As Xavier walked away from me, the weight of his hurt and anger crushed my heart. I wanted to run after him, to explain everything and beg for his forgiveness, but the pain in his eyes made me hesitate. I knew he needed time to process the revelation about Jessica and Alpha Tyler, just as I needed time to gather my own thoughts.Tears streamed down my cheeks as I sat on the edge of the bed, feeling lost and broken. I ignored the constant buzzing of my phone, the call from Jessica, and all the other notifications that were now insignificant compared to the rift between Xavier and me.I had never felt so torn in my life. On one hand, I knew I needed to be honest with Xavier and tell him everything. But on the other hand, there were still so many unanswered questions, so many things I didn't fully understand. I couldn't risk telling him half-truths or sharing information that might hurt him even more.Suddenly, my door burst open, and Jessica barged in with a worried exp
Uraihs POV: The early morning light bathed the palace gardens in a soft glow as Jessica and I walked side by side. The dew-kissed petals of the flowers sparkled like diamonds, but my mind was far from the beauty around me."Why don't you want to tell him why you're doing this?" Jessica asked gently, breaking the silence that had settled between us.I glanced at her, my eyes welling up with emotion. "Because I'm afraid, Jess. Afraid of losing him, afraid of hurting him, and afraid of the truth."She nodded understandingly. "Fear is natural, Uriah, but don't let it control you. You owe it to yourself and Xavier to be honest. He's strong, and he loves you. You have to trust that he'll stand by your side no matter what."Her words resonated deep within me, and I felt a glimmer of hope flicker. "I know you're right, Jess, but there are still so many unanswered questions. I need to find the truth first."With a supportive smile, Jessica replied, "Then let's find it together. You don't have
Uriahs POV: As we delved into my memories, we revisited my time in Alpha Tyler's pack. The memories came flooding back, both joyous and painful. I recalled the camaraderie, the sense of belonging, but also the struggles and betrayal that ultimately led me to leave.“I pondered her question, my mind retracing the steps that led me to this point. "I was close to him that night, closer than anyone else in the pack the evening when I got drugged by Nabitha. He trusted me with his body , and I think he saw something in me that he couldn't find in others.""Right now, Trust is a powerful thing," Jessica said softly. "And it's clear that you're trying to repay that trust, even though it comes at a great cost.""I don't want Xavier to get hurt because of me," I admitted, my voice breaking. "I love him too much to put him through all that”.As Jessica finished listening to my confession, a somber expression settled on her face. "What are you going to do, Uriah?"I stood up, feeling a surg
Uraihs POV: The night was illuminated by the full moon, casting an ethereal glow over the hidden chamber where Alpha Tyler lay in a deep slumber. Jessica and I stood at the entrance, the gravity of our decision weighing heavily on us."Uriah, please reconsider," Jessica pleaded one last time, her eyes filled with worry. "Waking Alpha Tyler could bring great danger, not just to you but to everyone."I shook my head, my resolve unyielding. "I can't back down now, Jess. I need to face the truth and end this once and for all."She sighed, realizing that my mind was made up. "Just promise me that you'll be careful, Uriah.""I promise," I replied, grateful for her concern. "I won't take any unnecessary risks."With a deep breath, I stepped forward, entering the chamber with Jessica by my side. The air was thick with anticipation and trepidation.As the full moon's light spilled into the room, I could feel an incredible power surging within me. The mark on my wrist, a symbol of my Lycan he
Tyler’s POV:As I stared at the two figures standing before me, a sense of disorientation washed over me.The last thing I remembered was drifting into a deep slumber, but now, I found myself face to face with Uriah and Jessica, who looked equally surprised and determined."Uriah? " I spoke, my voice hoarse from the long sleep. "What's going on?"Uriah stepped forward, her eyes fixed on mine with unwavering intensity. "Ty.. I mean Alpha Tyler, we woke you up because we need to know the truth."I furrowed my brows, trying to grasp the situation. "The truth? About what?"Her expression softened, and I could sense a whirlwind of emotions swirling within her. "About your intentions, about the past, and about how all of it is connected to us."I was taken aback by her words. Uriah and Jessica seemed to be on a quest for answers, and I couldn't help but feel a mixture of curiosity and concern."What are you talking about?" I asked, my mind still foggy from the effects of my prolonged slumb
Xavier’s POV:I sat at the grand table in the meeting hall, surrounded by the elders of the pack. The discussion was focused on how to make the neighboring packs fear our presence, to ensure the safety and dominance of their territory. While I usually enjoyed strategic planning and asserting their strength, my mind was preoccupied tonight.I glanced at the elders, trying my best to pay attention to the discussion. But the image of Uriah, standing before Alpha Tyler and Jessica, lingered in my thoughts. Anger and frustration coursed through me as I recalled her decision to wake the Alpha without consulting him."Alpha Xavier, are you alright?" one of the elders asked, noticing his distracted state."I'm fine," I repliedy tone curt. "Just a little tired."The meeting continued, and I made an effort to contribute to the discussions, thoughy mind was elsewhere. After the meeting concluded, i excused himself and headed back to my room.Once inside, i sat on the edge of the bed,
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
