Pov Lily BrowsI lay on the hospital bed, watching the nurse finish dressing my wounds, evidence of the brutal attack I had endured still visible on my body. The pain was gradually subsiding, but the news the doctor delivered about my pregnancy lingered in my mind."Miss Brows, here are the forms you need to fill out. They contain information for the baby's monitoring," the nurse said, handing me a clipboard.As I filled in the details, thoughts of the future and the responsibility of motherhood weighed on me. The doctor emphasized the importance of returning for regular check-ups, and I was determined to ensure everything went smoothly.However, the hopeful atmosphere crumbled when the nurse handed me a sheet of paper. I looked at the document, and my heart raced as I read the prominently displayed amount: twelve thousand dollars. My eyes widened, and a shockwave ran through my body."What is this?" I asked, scarcely believing what I was seeing. The nurse shrugged indifferently, as i
The atmosphere in the room was charged with tension as Olivia skillfully changed the baby, ignoring Clara's worried expression. The soft cry of the newborn seemed to echo the uncertainty hanging in the air."Olivia, this is dangerous. It's too early for a celebration. What if something goes wrong?" Clara tried to argue, her voice marked by concern.Olivia, however, was not willing to listen. Her eyes sparkled with determination, and she responded firmly, "I have no choice, Clara. The Supreme Alpha is determined to celebrate the birth of my son. I can't stop that."Clara sighed, looking at the baby Olivia held so carefully. "But, Olivia, it's still too early. We don't know if the child is really the alpha's. Maybe it's better to wait, to be sure before having this celebration."Olivia's response came with an explosion of anger. "Do you doubt me? Doubt the lineage of the Supreme Alpha? Leave my room, Clara. I don't need your negativity."Resigned, Clara withdrew but not without casting
**Pov Lily Brows**Night fell upon us, and I felt the weight of exhaustion as we wandered through the dark streets of the neighboring city. Caroline was tired; her steps slowed with each block, and her stomach growled loudly. I felt powerless, unable to provide her with the comfort and security she deserved.We had walked for miles since leaving the hospital, and I had spent the entire day trying to find some work to support the two of us. Knocking on door after door, rejection was constant, and the feeling of despair grew with each refusal.We stumbled upon a small grocery store, our last hope of getting some help. I entered, with Caroline leaning on me, her tired and hungry eyes."Good evening, sir. Sorry to bother you, but I'm looking for work. Anything I can do to earn some money and feed my daughter," I explained, trying to maintain dignity despite the vulnerability I felt.The man behind the counter, looking at me with a mix of sympathy and disinterest, shook his head. "I'm sorr
**POV Supreme Alpha Luke.**The party pulsed with energy, and my heart felt light as we celebrated the birth of my heir. Laughter and greetings filled the hall, creating an atmosphere of joy. However, the celebration was interrupted when I decided to call Olivia and the baby back to join the festivities.Upon hearing the news that my son had caught a cold, a shadow of concern crossed my face. "A cold so early?" I questioned, a restlessness creeping into my thoughts.The maid confirmed the situation, assuring me that Olivia was dedicated to ensuring the comfort of our heir. The explanation, however, didn't completely dispel my apprehension.During the party, one of the guests raised an intriguing question: the characteristics and abilities of my son, being the heir of the Supreme Alpha. The reminder of the healing nature of our blood echoed in my mind, highlighting the self-regeneration flowing in our veins. "The father's blood is strong enough to heal him and immunize him against comm
**POV Lily Brows**The soft morning light flooded the room as I opened my eyes. The surroundings were unfamiliar, but a sense of warmth enveloped me. I rose from the bed carefully, avoiding waking little Caroline, who still slept peacefully by my side.I glided down the stairs, and the aroma of fresh coffee guided me to the kitchen. Chloe, the housemaid, was busy preparing breakfast. Her eyes met mine as I entered."Good morning, Mrs. Lily. Mr. Miller left early for work," Chloe informed with a kind smile.I took a deep breath, grateful for Mr. Miller's hospitality. "Thank you, Chloe. I'll pack up my things and head out to look for work."Chloe frowned, confused. "Mr. Miller said little Caroline can stay here while you go out to look for a job and organize your things."The surprise warmed my heart. Mr. Miller's generosity exceeded my expectations. I thanked Chloe, and before leaving, I quietly went up to the room where Caroline still slept.I leaned down and planted a gentle kiss on
A few hours later..."Clara is taking too long!"The night's silence hung over the pack as Olivia, distressed, held Noah in her arms, watching the little one's fever intensify. Unable to wait any longer, she decided to take action. In secret, she packed a bag with basic supplies and stealthily headed to find the pack's healer.As she descended the stairs, her racing heart was surprised by Paul. Their eyes met for a tense moment before he noticed the child in her arms."Our son is beautiful," Paul declared, examining Noah for a few seconds.Olivia was horrified. "Paul, stop telling lies. This is the alpha's son."Paul kept his gaze steady. "I know he's my son, Olivia. This child doesn't look like the alpha, and suspicions will arise soon."He proposed an escape, asking Olivia to join him to raise their child away from the complexities of the pack. "I'll be an excellent father to him."Indignant, Olivia humiliated him, highlighting the limitations he, as a gamma, would impose on their s
POV LilyI was reclined in the armchair, flipping through a book when the door opened, revealing Mr. Miller's figure."Good evening!" he greeted upon entering."Good evening!" I replied with a smile, Caroline peeking shyly from behind me, also smiling."We were waiting for you to say goodbye," I announced, extending my hand towards him for a friendly handshake."Did you manage to find a place to stay and the job you were looking for?" he questioned, furrowing his brow with a confused expression."I searched all day for some work, and a lady offered me a job as a housemaid. It's not much, but I'll be able to take Caroline with me, and I think it's a good start," I nervously replied, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear."Are you sure you want to do this? I wouldn't mind if you stayed a bit longer, and Caroline loves to play with the toys. This house is huge and mostly empty, with no children running around," he said a bit sadly."I appreciate everything you've done for us! But I need
Olivia returned to the pack house, a slight relief on her face after the visit to the healer. Noah was calmer, and the prescribed herbs provided some comfort to the baby. Upon crossing the door of the room, she found Paul waiting for her."Olivia, how is our son?" Paul inquired, his expression filled with concern."Noah is fine," she responded calmly. "The healer said he will recover."Paul, visibly distressed, vented, "This is going too far. The supreme alpha restricted Noah from receiving medical care after suggesting that he might carry pure blood. This could harm him.""Blame your alpha," Olivia retorted, anger marking her words. "He made the comment and harmed our baby.""He was just testing the child. No one knows the truth behind Noah's paternity. The packs are suspicious if he'll be as powerful as his father, and they might consider him a threat.""A threat?" Olivia asked, surprised and fearful."Olivia, what you're doing is very serious. Let's run away. We can raise our son a
**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
