" What?" Uriah gasped, immediately rushing out of the bed.Emeril had come to inform her that Alpha Levi was there and the situation wasn't looking good after all.From all indications, he went there for a good reason. No one would assume he was there to congratulate his daughter or even see her mate.Uriah, who has been trying to pull herself together after doing what Tyler has come to ask her to do that morning, quickly runs to the wardrobe.She was weak and knew she couldn't do much but this was beyond her.There was now ay she would sit and watch all that happen without him getting involved.It was her fault and she had to fix it.She quickly ran into the bathroom she hasn't been to in days and hurriedly took her bath.Hee feet were feeble and weak. She hasn't had anything to eat for the last few days, and as a result was very weak.Emeril has tried her best in getting her to eat by sneaking food daily to her, but whenever she comes back, she's always disappointed to see an empty
Nabita fumed in anger. Tyler wanted to speak up but she told him not to.This was her Dad and she didn't want him to get involved because she feels things won't go so well." And as for you..." Alpha Levi turned to Tyler" Talk to me dad. He's got nothing to do with this. He doesn't have any fault in all this. This is a family matter for crying out loud, why did you even have to bring it here?" she screamed." Where else would have I taken it to..to the elders?" he said sarcastically."I can't believe you came all the way here to do this, all for what...for her. So you don't care about mom and I anymore?" she asked her father." Same way your mother and you didn't care about my name and reputation. You both acted on your own accord..I don't think you even see me as a father because if you truly did, then I would have known about all of these. Imagine my own daughter was about to be crowned Luna as I wasn't aware. I only got to know through gossip and all that. That's a big shame to me
URIAH'S P.O.VI was so surprised at what Emeril did for me, wasn't expecting that though.It felt like I was loved once again even if it's not from my mate."Okay dad I just don't want to follow you to your pack anymore, I've caused a lot of problems" I said with my face buried to the floor.I knew this would hurt him as well as me but I just wanted to say the truth.The silence that was in the atmosphere was enough to tell that he was shut of words and was broken."Uriah I am your father and you do not make decisions for me" he says.I was going to shut up but I don't know how I let it out."But all the decisions you make keeps hurting you....." I raise my voice out of pain."And me too" I reduce my voice."You can't hide the pain Uriah but since you have decided not to follow me to the pack I'll take you to seeril pack. That will be a safe place for you" he mention.I raised my brows trying to remember where I heard of such pack *seeril, seeril* "I think I've heard of that pack bef
NABITA P.O.VSeeing my dad with that thing hurt me like of all people why would he choose to care for that thing."Eww... It irritates me a lot" I squeeze my face.Maybe letting her die in the woods would have been better.Mom came up to me I could see the smile of courage on her face, she's so proud of me. Of course who else would be, when the devil took dad attention away from me."Hey Nabita" mom caresse my hair and forehead as I lean on her breast slowly."Mom" I squeeze her tight into a hug."Take it easy daughter I know you are already leaping for Joy. It's right by your side" she smiled.Only mom knew how much I needed this position, dad was taken away by selflessness or whatever thing to replace me with Uriah.Although he doesn't look so happy with me I still feel pleased with myself."I know that mom, it's just a matter of time I'll be smiling for my achievement" I smirk."You have achieved everything you need dearie, you only need to embrace it" mom says and we burst into la
Uriah's Pov;The morning sun shone brightly, giving the pack a different kind of look.I merely stared at it and smiled.This is my last day in the pack, so that's it for the smile..I have a lot to be thankful for after all that has happened.A day of hope had shone upon me.Sometimes, I sat myself down and think about my life now and how my life would have been if I were with my real parents.Who are they really?Did they do something bad or did something bad happen to them, making them to flee?Why did I have to end up in the bush of all places, and what would have happened to me if alpha Levi hadn't rescued me?On days like this, I often ask myself this questions.But the truth is, sometimes the moments are messy, sometimes happy or just plain weird, but they are all.mine so I got to cherish them.The hurtful and painful days have had to endure in this pack will live with me as a memory for as long as I live.I would have wished for the moon goddess to wipe that part out, but no; I
Uriah walked out of their midst and went back to her room.She would call Emeril later in the day and tell her of the good newsShe's sure she would be so happy.Who wouldn't be?Tyler's Pov;Oh, goddammit! If only I knew.Like hell...I'm in severe pains right now.I still couldn't believe Uriah has agreed to my rejection so easily and quickly. I still couldnt wrap my head around it.Couldn't she has waited a little bit more to see if I'll change my mind?Why did she have to do tbag so soon.. it hurts my feelings and it's still hurting me real bad.What the hell has gotten into her.She wasn't like that before, alot has caunged about her and I don't know what the reason for that is.The Uriah that I knew wouldn't agree so easily to something like this She would have come to me and pleaded.I was so much in pains and my wolf wasn't helping matters either.Seems she' was also feeling this way anytime I was having it with Nabita Gosh! She must have gone through alot." Will you shut it
" Is that everything you'll be needing?" Uriah asked Emeril who has packed her things to fit into a small box.It was today and they were set to leave.Each one was happy. Freedom was what they call it.They both dragged their belongings out, into the courier that was sent to carry them.The other pack members stood closeby and stared at them.Some waved and some blew kisses and in all, Uriah and Emeril were overwhelmed.A new life awaits them and they are gonna make the most out of it.It was a new beginning, an opportunity to live a better life and to be better...to be a good person.Uriah smiled at the leaves, trees, animals and other things she saw on their way to the pack...their newly found home.Alot has happened and they were grateful for where they were headed.Hopefully, it will be alot better and good.**Minutes later, they arrived at the Siegel pack to meet a feast.Some maids hurried out and helped them with their belongings while they were ushered in smoothly by an eld
The ladies were damn weak by the time the party ended.Everyone trooped down to the room heavily drunk, but just one person was still with her senses which was Emeril.She then decided to take charge and take good care of them.They were all mostly blabbing and talking trash. She helped most of them take off their dresses and arranged them on the bed properly.She was gonna carry Uriah to another room, but she didn't have the strength for that.Glancing at them all on the bed, they seem to be far gone in their sleep.She walked to the wardrobe, opened it and brought out a towel.She was gonna proceed to the bathroom, when she heard mumbling.She looked over to the bed to see it was Uriah.Damn!! She was completely wasted, and looking at her now, she seems like a totally and completely different person to her.She dropped the towel she was holding and went to the kitchen.She is new to the house...a stranger, so it took her quite some time to get the location of the kitchen.She did an
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
