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,
Xavier's POV: The night had turned eventful for us, the pack. As we settled back in the meeting hall, tension lingered in the air. My mind was still consumed with worry for Uriah, even after we had successfully helped her control the overwhelming power she possessed.Suddenly, the doors of the meeting hall swung open, and Jessica, the Beta of the pack, entered with Tyler at her side. I felt my heart clench at the sight of the now healthy Alpha. Anger surged through me, and I couldn't help but feel frustrated towards him for the ordeal Uriah had gone through."Alpha Tyler," I growled as I stood up from my seat, "You have some explaining to do."Tyler looked surprised by the intensity of my tone but maintained a calm facade. "Xavier, I understand your concern for Uriah, but we had no other choice. Her power was spiraling out of control, and we needed to do something to save her and the pack.""And what about consulting me?" I retorted angrily , “you should have stayed away from her”
Xavier's POV:As the night wore on."Tyler," I said, my voice cool and unwavering as I found him amidst the festivities.He turned to me, his expression guarded. "What do you want, Xavier?""I need to speak with you," I replied, my eyes never leaving him.He let out a sigh, clearly annoyed by my presence, but he followed me to a quieter corner away from the palace.I took a deep breath, preparing myself for the confrontation. "I want you to stay away from Uriah," I said firmly.Tyler raised an eyebrow, a cold smirk playing on his lips. "Why? Is she not free to make her own choices now?""She is my mate," I retorted, my anger simmering just below the surface. "And you've already caused her enough pain."He scoffed, brushing off my concerns. "Nabitha betrayed me, and I had every right to be angry. Uriah is not my concern.""You humiliated her, Tyler," I snapped. "You broke her heart and left her to suffer. Now that Nabitha is defeated, you can't just expect her to forget what you did."T
Tyler's POV:I walked around the mansion, deep in thought about the decisions I had made in the past. The memories of my betrayal and humiliation to Uriah weighed heavily on my conscience. I regretted ever letting Nabitha manipulate me and influence my actions.Finally, I made up my mind. I needed to confront Nabitha, face my past mistakes, and put an end to any lingering feelings or connections.As i approached the jail where Nabitha was being held, i steeled myself for the encounter. The memories of our time together flooded my mind - the allure of her charm, the promises of power and prestige. But now, I saw through her facade and recognized the toxicity of our relationship.As the guard opened the cell door, I stepped in, my expression cold and distant. There, sitting on a small cot, was Nabitha, looking different from the past. Her once vibrant eyes now held a hint of desperation."Well, well, if it isn't the Alpha who finally came to visit," she smirked, her voi
Nabithas POV: As I sat in that cold cell, my thoughts were a tumultuous storm. Tyler's unexpected visit had stirred emotions I thought I had locked away. I was indeed taken aback,but…Anger, resentment, and a hint of regret swirled inside me. Seeing him again, so confident and determined to sever our ties, fueled a fire of frustration within me.When the guard opened the door and Tyler stepped in, his expression cold and distant, my heart raced. I had once held him in my grasp, but now he seemed beyond my reach."Well, well, if it isn't the Alpha who finally came to visit," I couldn't help taunting, trying to cover up the uncertainty I felt."Save your snark, Nabitha. I'm not here to entertain your games," he replied, his voice firm and unforgiving."Oh, but it was fun while it lasted, wasn't it?" I smirked, attempting to regain some semblance of control.Tyler's eyes narrowed, and I saw a flicker of pain behind his cold facade. "Fun? You call betraying and poisoning me fun?"In
Uriahs POV:Xavier, seemed particularly upset, and I understood why. I hadn't consulted him before going through with the risky plan to awaken Alpha Tyler from his coma. But I couldn't bear to put him through the pain of seeing me in such a vulnerable state.Before I could explain myself, the doors swung open, and Jessica, the Beta, accompanied by a now healthy Tyler, entered the room. Xavier wasted no time in expressing his anger and frustration."Tyler," he growled as he stood up, "What are you doing here ."Tyler seemed taken aback by Xavier's intensity but remained composed. "Xavier, I understand your concern for Uriah, But I'm only here to check on Uriah "Xavier's anger was understandable, and I stepped forward, wanting to explain my motivations. "Xavier, please listen, don't let us get ahead of ourselves okay ""Ahead of ourselves?" Xavier's anger seemed to momentarily subside, replaced by confusion.I nodded, while I looked at him with a sorrowful look. "Yes "His expressi
Uriahs POV:As the days turned into weeks, the longing for our son never left my heart. Despite Xavier's assurances and the support of our pack, the void left by our issues lingered in my mind.I am not the weak person anymore but sometimes that things happen are so overwhelming that I shiver. One evening, as the moon cast a silvery glow over the forest, I found myself in the pack's sacred garden. The moonflowers bloomed around me, their delicate petals reflecting the moon's ethereal light.Lost in my thoughts, I felt a familiar presence behind me. Xavier quietly approached and wrapped his arms around me, understanding my need for solace."Uriah," he whispered, "I can feel your pain. It hurts me to see you like this."Tears welled up in my eyes, and I turned to face him. "Xavier, I can't help but wonder if there's a way to bring him back. I feel his presence sometimes, like he's trying to reach us."Xavier's expression softened, his love for me evident in his eyes. "I believe you,
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
