A few hours later...Alpha Luke's POV"The test results are out..." The doctor's voice sounded apprehensive.I approached him with a serious expression, entering a separate room while the others waited outside."It appears that Lily suffered an overdose and was poisoned," he said seriously, handing me the paper."What are you talking about?" I raised an eyebrow, irritated."In the blood test, a significant amount of Pennyroyal herb was detected. This caused Lily to have multiple spontaneous abortions..." he explained, showing me the test results."Lily was pregnant?" I slammed my hand on the table in anger and rose abruptly, furious."This herb is used to prevent women from getting pregnant or to stop the fetus from developing in the womb if the sperm manages to reach the egg," he replied, nervously. "In high doses, it can be fatal. Changes in the slave's test indicate she ingested high doses of this herb throughout the day. This caused severe bleeding and extensive injury to her uter
**POV Alpha**"Alpha..." she whispered, her voice weak and lacking the strength to walk to me. Ava was pale, with tears in her eyes, and her frail body shivered from the cold in that filthy place.I ran to her, desperate, holding her carefully to prevent her from falling to the ground as she leaned on me, bleeding profusely. The full moon hung high in the sky, and my wolf let out a sad and agonizing howl toward the moon upon seeing the woman he loved in my arms, on the verge of death. The moon illuminated the clearing where we were like twilight, but there was no light left in Ava's eyes. It was as if the moonlight was fading away along with her life."Ava, hold on, please!" I said nervously, trying to keep her eyes open. My voice was a low and anguished growl, but she could only gasp in response.Ava shook her head, struggling to breathe, her hands clutching my chest in desperation. Her body was weakened, and the scent of blood filled the air around us."I... I'm so sorry, Alpha. For
**POV Alpha**Without thinking twice, I ran recklessly to Olivia's room. I wanted her to face the consequences of her actions. Upon arriving at her room, I brutally pushed the door open, creating a loud noise. My red eyes and the veins on my forehead bulged as if I might explode at any moment. The pack was on alert, having heard about Lily's poisoning, and now everyone knew that the betrayal came from within.Olivia was sitting on her bed, appearing surprised by my visit. She tried to greet me with a smile and a seductive look, but I was not in the mood for dirty games."Alpha," she said sweetly, attempting to kiss my cheek.I pushed her roughly, causing her to step back. Her smile instantly vanished."What do you think you're doing here?" I growled, my voice filled with contained anger."I don't know what you're talking about; try to calm down, my love..." She tried to act like she didn't know what I was referring to.I grabbed Olivia by the arms, my strong hands gripping tightly. Sh
**POV Lily**I find myself in a dark, damp, and mysterious place. The darkness is so dense it feels suffocating. Water spreads across the floor, and I feel my body drenched, my skin shivering from the sensation. The environment is eerie, and a sense of isolation envelops me.In this gloomy place, I hear a howl, long and agonizing, echoing through the dark surroundings. My heart quickens, my instincts screaming that something is wrong. Who or what would be howling like that?As I approach the sound, I can make out a figure in the distance. It's a white wolf, but its fur is tattered, and it appears extremely weak and hungry. It looks at me with sad eyes, revealing the pain it carries."Who are you?" I ask, my voice trembling. The white wolf doesn't respond, just watches me with a gaze that seems to penetrate my soul.Suddenly, a soft yet powerful voice resonates in my mind. "Lily, it's me. I'm the part of you that you never managed to communicate with."I become nervous, trying to under
**POV Lily**"How are you feeling today, Miss?" the nurse asked, jotting down information on a chart."I'm fine... I've been resting for a few days. When can I get up again, and when will the Alpha come to see me?" I asked, feeling confused."Soon, Miss. You need to rest. Don't worry about the Alpha; he's been quite busy lately, dealing with important pack matters," she smiled and finished adjusting my IV before leaving.I closed my eyes, once again huffing indignantly. I couldn't stand lying in bed any longer. A few people came to visit me initially when I woke up, including the Alpha, who said he would return to see me. However, it had been five days since I last saw him. The doctor kept telling me I needed to rest and not roam around the pack house. Johanna visited me almost every day, but I still missed my friend Julie. As for Ayla, she seemed to be recovering silently, but I could feel her inside me, warming me and using her limited power to aid my healing."Good morning, dear. I
**POV Lily**I opened my eyes, and a feeling of nervousness and fear enveloped me. I didn't immediately recognize the place, but the memory of my fall in the bathroom and the bleeding I had witnessed soon struck me. My heart began to race, and I automatically placed my hands on my belly.A tear rolled down my face as my mind filled with worry. I needed to know what had happened to my baby. After all, I had been pregnant, and the thought that something might have happened to my child terrified me.Johanna and the nurse were by my side, trying to calm me. I felt their gentle hands on my shoulders, trying to get me to lie down again. But my mind was spinning, and the words automatically came out of my mouth."What happened to my baby?" I asked, my voice trembling with anxiety.There was a moment of silence, and my heart sank in despair. The nurse looked to Johanna, seeking guidance, but she only nodded, appearing reluctant.The nurse, with a careful expression, tried to shift the focus a
**POV Lily**As soon as I entered the dungeon, the darkness and the damp smell of the place enveloped me. Julie was there, handcuffed to the wall, with wide and fearful eyes. Her body was covered in bruises and cuts, and I could feel the pain and fear she carried."Julie..." I murmured her name with a cold tone, showing no compassion. "How long has it been? We have a lot to talk about, perhaps you'd like to start by explaining why you killed my babies?"Tears welled up in her eyes, and she swallowed hard before responding. "Lily, I... I didn't want to. I swear. I was forced; she deceived me.""Forced by whom?" I asked, keeping my gaze fixed on her."Olivia," she confessed. "She deceived me and forced me to poison you. She said she'd kill me if I didn't follow her orders. I swear I considered you a friend; I didn't want to do this," Julie replied, crying.Olivia was a monster. I couldn't believe my friend had betrayed our trust in this way. The pain of betrayal burned within me, but I
**POV Alpha**"Alpha," the doctor began cautiously, "I regret to inform you that Olivia is indeed pregnant."My impatience was evident, and my claws were ready to emerge. "Is she really pregnant?" I asked incisively, looking at the doctor as if I were willing to tear his throat out if he were lying.Olivia smiled, trying to approach me. "I told the truth, Alpha. I wasn't lying. I'm carrying your child."Her attempt at seduction only irritated me further. I pushed her brutally, making her step back. "Do you think this pregnancy makes you innocent? That I will forgive everything you've done? I only didn't kill her because she's carrying my child."Olivia swallowed hard, looking down. She knew she was in a precarious situation. Her plan to seduce and manipulate me had crumbled, and she was facing the reality of her cruel actions.I was angry, but I also understood that with Olivia pregnant, we needed to handle the situation carefully and rationally. I couldn't kill her without harming th
**Hope's POV:**Mia entered the room with an excited smile, saying, "Hope, everyone is waiting for you!" Jade, also smiling, confirmed that I was almost ready. Carefully, she helped put the ornaments on my head, along with the crown. As I faced my reflection in the mirror, an involuntary smile appeared on my face. Turning around, I asked, "So, how do I look?" Mia lovingly replied that I looked stunning as a bride, but my mother was still the most beautiful of all. We both laughed and agreed.Expressing my happiness for my mother's union after so many years, Mia comforted me, saying, "I can't imagine her wolf's silent suffering all these years. She did this for you, Hope!" Mia placed her hand on my shoulder, and with that, we headed to the courtyard.Upon entering the courtyard, I spotted my father and Noah. I looked to the side and saw my mother dressed as a bride. Lily whispered softly in my ear, "You're the most beautiful bride here." I smiled, eyes welling up, and offered my hand t
**Supreme Alpha's POV:**I opened my eyes slowly, feeling a faint, irritating brightness hitting my face. As I tried to move, I realized iron chains held my arms and legs immobilized. The light revealed a dark and unfamiliar environment, a cold and oppressive cell.A sinister smile emerged in the dimness as my beta, someone I had trusted for years, appeared before me. "Don't bother moving; these chains are made of pure iron. Every attempt to free yourself will burn your skin," he whispered, laughing between his teeth.Impatiently, I growled and angrily asked what he had done. "Where are Hope and Lily? Why are you doing this?" My voice echoed in the dark cell.He mockingly laughed before responding, "I thought I would get rid of that brat during the competition, but she proved herself. I tried to kill her, but now that you're weak in my hands, killing her will be easy. You were the main obstacle." He shrugged as if it were something trivial.My patience reached its limit. "Why are you
**Hope's POV:**"What are you doing, you idiot? Take me back; I want to help my dad!" I exclaimed, trying to make Noah release me."Hope, I'm following the alpha's orders. Besides, you can't do anything with your injured arm!" he said as we approached the pack's entrance. I huffed indignantly; we had already distanced ourselves enough from the confrontation, and my tantrum was pointless now.Once inside, my mother ran towards me to give me a hug, thanking Noah for bringing me back."Hope, my daughter, I was so worried. Why did you run away without telling anyone? You're the alpha's daughter; someone could have tried to kidnap you to blackmail your father. Do you not understand the danger you were in by going out alone?" my mother scolded, pulling my ear."I'm fine, Mom," I replied, uninterested, constantly looking at the gate, expecting my father to enter any moment."What's that on your arm?" my mother asked, noticing that I had torn a part of my shirt and tied it to stop the bleedin
**POV SUPREME ALPHA:**The moon shone brightly in the night sky as I stared at Logan, his body twisting and transforming into an impressive gray wolf.Logan growled, revealing his sharp fangs. "Do you think you can prevent the inevitable? The leadership of this pack will be mine."My own transformation began, energies intertwining as I rose as a majestic alpha wolf. Our eyes met, sparks of challenge and fury exchanged.The clash started with a quick exchange of attacks. Our bodies moved with agility, teeth gleaming in the moonlight. Logan was agile, but I was experienced, each move calculated to neutralize his assaults.At the height of the battle, Logan managed a surprising bite on one of my hind legs. I howled in pain, but my determination did not waver. Logan laughed, his eyes reflecting triumph."Is this the strength of the Supreme Alpha?" he taunted. "It will be easy to defeat you and take your place. Then, I can reject your daughter and expel her from the pack!"Hope shouted my
POV SUPREME ALPHA."And now? What will we do?" Lily asked desperately."She fled because I intended to force her to marry Logan. She's too stubborn!" I said, stressed."Maybe she got it from you!" Lily retorted, crossing her arms."What do you mean by that? I've been away from her for fourteen years; how could I have influenced anything?" I questioned angrily."She has your genetics. It's hard not to admit how much you two are alike. Perhaps that's why you're always arguing and fighting. No matter the problem, Hope refuses to back down. She's strong, determined, and willing to test her limits. Hope seems to be fearless! She even disguised herself as a boy to participate in the competition and show you that she could lead!" Lily said frustrated."What are you saying?" I asked, surprised. I didn't know that Hope had done that."You fool! Your daughter is constantly trying to prove that she's good enough, and all you do is try to dominate and criticize her for not being as submissive as
**Alpha's POV:**I arrived home, still feeling the tension from the situation in the forest. Lily, with her keen eyes, approached me, anxiety evident on her face."Where is Hope? Is she okay?" she inquired, concerned.Before I could answer, the door opened, and Hope entered, supporting Noah, who coughed due to smoke exposure. Lily raised an eyebrow, clearly perplexed."Why did you bring this boy back?" she questioned, with a firm tone.I took a deep breath, facing Lily. "He is Hope's fated mate. She refuses to let me kill him."Hope guided Noah to the room and requested the doctor to attend to him. Lily looked at me, confused and worried. "And now, what are we going to do?""I cannot allow my daughter to marry a lone wolf," I declared, firmness in my words. Tension hung in the air as Lily processed the decision I had already made."Logan is sure to marry the Alpha's daughter. We need to cancel this marriage. We're talking about our daughter's happiness," Lily argued, persisting in the
Pov Supreme Alpha:I slowly opened my eyes, lying in my bed with everyone around me, feeling a renewed energy flowing through my veins. The doctor, looking at me with surprise and hope, approached."Alpha, you're recovering faster than we expected. Hope's blood is working wonders in your system. However, more doses will be needed to ensure a complete recovery," he said, jotting down information on a paper.I lifted my gaze to the doctor, my body still weak but determination shining in my eyes. "Where is Hope?" I asked, my voice resonating through the room.Lily, by my side, seemed nervous. "Luke, something happened to our daughter. Hope disappeared.""How so, disappeared?" I growled in irritation, "Did she run away with some boyfriend again?" I got up from the bed, full of anger, ready to punish whoever was in front of me, but I would bring my daughter back home.Lily quickly denied. "No, Alpha. It's not that. Something happened to our daughter."At that moment, the Beta hurried into
Hope's POV:I woke up restless, the previous night still echoing in my thoughts. Uncertainty lingered, and the despair over my father's critical condition continued to haunt me. However, there was no time for hesitation. I rose determined, ready to face another day of competition.The lingering shower provided brief relief, but the tension persisted. Stepping out of the shower, clad only in a towel, I prepared to change when suddenly something was placed over my face. A cloth saturated with a strong scent hit my nostrils, and instantly, my vision began to darken.Before I could comprehend what was happening, a presence made itself felt behind me. A deep voice whispered in my ear, "Goodbye, my dear, Hope..." The cloth was over my face, and my body responded weakly to the invasive odor. The world spun around me, and consciousness faded as I succumbed to a sudden faint, the surroundings dissipating.Lily's POV:Desperation took hold of me when the beta approached with a somber expression
pov hopeThe sun had barely risen on the horizon when I was awakened by the guard chief's call for the third stage of the competition. A mixed feeling of anxiety and determination propelled me as I quickly got dressed. The third phase was crucial, and every move counted.Upon reaching the designated location, the guard chief distributed bracelets that would monitor our vitality during the challenge. The participants were strategically positioned at different points in the forest, ready to face the challenges that lay ahead.Norman, my partner, exchanged a serious look with me before we received our instructions. "Stay alert, Peter. We can't afford to lose points this time."The forest was filled with unknown challenges, and our senses were heightened as time began to run out. Thirty minutes passed, and tension hung in the air as a growl reverberated among the trees.Suddenly, emerging from the shadows of the trees, Logan appeared before us. His eyes sparkled with wild determination, a
