**POV Alpha Luke**"Please, Alpha, Noah is suffering. He needs proper care," Olivia pleaded for the tenth time, on her knees at my door."You should have thought about that before disobeying my orders. Whippings weren't enough to teach you lessons?" I growled in irritation.How could she be so insistent? She had been crying at my office door for three nights, begging me to send a doctor to assess Noah."I beg you, he's just an innocent baby. He doesn't deserve to go through this!" Olivia said, tears streaming down her red and swollen eyes, looking like she hadn't slept for days."You defy my authority once again, Olivia. I should let you learn from the consequences!" I roared angrily, wanting to punish her again for daring to disturb me.I would do anything for our son, even if it means sacrificing my life!" she said nervously.I took a deep breath; this useless argument would result in nothing, and Noah wasn't improving on his own. I decided to give in to Olivia's whims so that I cou
Lily's POV.The room was illuminated by the golden rays of the sun filtering through the curtains. Caroline and I laughed, immersed in play with the toys that Tyler Miller had kindly sent. He had sent an employee to deliver a bag full of joys for my little one. Caroline held a doll with admiration, her eyes shining with the genuine happiness of a child."Look, Lily, look what Mr. Miller sent! This doll is beautiful. I think his daughter must have been a very nice girl to have such a lovely doll," Caroline exclaimed, her small fingers caressing the details of the doll."Yes, Caroline, he said this doll belonged to his daughter. And, you know, you can keep it. I'm sure he'll be happy knowing it's in good hands," I replied, feeling a comforting warmth seeing the happiness on my little one's face.Caroline smiled radiantly, hugging the doll with care. "I'll take good care of her, Lily. And when Mr. Miller comes, I want to thank him personally for this special gift."The joy persisted but
The next day...Lily's POV.Several morning hours had already passed, and I was focused in front of the newspaper, searching for any job openings in a market, restaurant, or snack bar."What are you doing up so early, Lily?" Tyler asked, coming down the stairs all dressed up."Nothing, just reading the newspaper!" I smiled weakly; something about him made me feel embarrassed when he approached.Tyler observed me from afar; his eyes penetrated mine with intensity. I could feel him analyzing me during breakfast. I looked away, trying not to believe there was something more. I placed the newspaper on the table and reached for the orange juice on the table. That's when Tyler approached my face significantly, touching my hand, staying a few centimeters away from my lips."I want you to work with me, in my office!" he gestured seriously, looking at me.I could only focus on his lips moving, wondering what his mouth tasted like and why his lips seemed so soft and full, so desirable to me."L
Alpha Luke's POV:Suddenly, I grabbed her arm and pressed her body against the wall, silencing her. I wanted to break her in that moment for daring to hold me so strongly, but for the first time, Olivia was right, and I had to make my decision."Summon the alpha of the Waning Moon pack to the main hall immediately!" I ordered seriously, releasing Olivia's hand and pushing her roughly toward the wall.She picked up Noah in her arms and kept shaking him, making sure he was okay.I left my quarters, the heat of anger pulsating in my veins. Every step I took through the corridors reverberated the anger consuming me. When I reached the main hall, where a meeting among alphas was taking place, the business-like atmosphere shifted to shock with my imposing entrance.The Alpha of the Waning Moon, still not understanding the reason for my visit, maintained an air of superiority."Why did you send for me?" he said seriously, unfazed.Without restraining myself, I delivered a precise punch to hi
The room was filled with tension as Olivia confronted Clara. Clara's expression revealed disapproval, her words laden with judgment."You've gone mad, Olivia! What you did was dangerous. You could have killed Noah!" accused Clara, concern etched on her face.Olivia countered, defending her actions. "The alpha lost his mind, Clara. He locked me in the dungeon, gave me no choice but to make Noah inhale that powder while I breastfed him. Half an hour later, he had a seizure."Clara widened her eyes in surprise. "You induced a seizure in your own child? That's insane!"Olivia's expression hardened. "The doctor was right, and I believe him. I did it so the alpha would understand it wasn't just a cold. And now, with the meddlesome doctor dead and the alpha punishing malicious comments, no one will dare speak ill of Noah."Clara expressed disbelief. "You're risking your child's life, Olivia. He's too young for you to have done something like this. It could leave lasting effects, harm his dev
Paul, still stunned, entered the room, and Olivia closed the window silently. The wolf, even after the window closed, remained outside, an imposing presence that seemed to understand the urgency of the situation.Olivia's room was invaded by a terrifying presence. The Supreme Alpha, imposing and furious, was there, accompanied by his guards. The tension in the room was palpable, and Paul, paralyzed with fear, could barely comprehend what was happening."Olivia, what's going on?" Paul asked confused, his eyes meeting Olivia's, who was in the corner of the room, holding little Noah in her arms.The Supreme Alpha, with a threatening roar, replied, "Olivia was right! There are threats surrounding our son. I thought I could trust you, but now I need to reinforce security, and you will be killed as an example for trying to steal the alpha's son."Without giving time for explanations, the Supreme Alpha lunged at Paul, his transformation into a wolf a terrifying sight. The roar echoed through
Lily's POVThe elevator in the corporate building ascended to the top floor, and my eyes widened with admiration as I beheld the grandeur of Tyler's company. Mr. Miller guided me through luxurious corridors, and for a moment, I felt like a complete stranger in this nest. The glass walls and imposing offices seemed like a universe distant from my previous reality.Finally, we reached Tyler's office—a spacious, modern space with a panoramic view of the city. He began introducing me to different departments, explaining each team's responsibilities. The technology, numbers, and sophistication of the environment were overwhelming. I was immersed in a world that felt beyond my comprehension.Noticing my astonished expression, Tyler smiled and said I needed to get used to it. Before I could fully grasp what was happening, he headed to the restroom, leaving me in the care of Hanna, an executive supervisor.Hanna was intensely discussing a poorly done report with a colleague. I waited patientl
POV LILY BROWSThe day was calm at the company, and I was immersed in reading some documents, trying to familiarize myself with internal processes. Finally, I managed to finish the report Tyler had requested. With a sigh of relief, I decided to take a break for lunch.Alice, an intern who seemed to be one of the few friendly people in the office, invited me to lunch with her. I accepted the offer, grateful for friendly company amid an environment that still felt somewhat hostile.We went to a nearby small restaurant, and as we enjoyed our meals, Alice started a conversation. Between bites, she asked me about how I met Mr. Miller."It was a coincidence, actually," I began. "I was going through some difficulties, and he ended up helping me in various situations. I owe a lot to him, and I feel a great sense of gratitude."Curious, Alice continued, "Do you have any romantic involvement?"I felt a blush rise to my face and quickly denied, "No, nothing like that. The relationship between us
**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
