Pov LilyTyler gestured towards me. "This is a new member of our team, Lily. We're here to open an account in her name."The manager nodded and led us to his office. I filled out some important details while Tyler explained the situation. The process was going well until we reached the credit card part."Unfortunately, we can't provide a credit card at the moment, Mrs. Lily. There's no history or significant financial activity to ensure a credit line."A weight settled on my chest. I had planned to buy some things for the new house I intended to rent to live with Caroline. Sadness showed in my eyes, and Tyler, realizing this, intervened."I understand, but she needs a credit card. Can I arrange an additional card from my account for her?"The manager hesitated for a moment before agreeing. "That would be possible, Mr. Miller. However, I would suggest that, after a few months with regular transactions, the bank may offer a credit card of its own to Mrs. Lily."Tyler smiled and nodded.
**POV LILY BROWS**After a bustling day at the company, I was greeted at home by Caroline's infectious enthusiasm. She ran toward me, her eyes gleaming with excitement, and leaped into my arms."Tia Lily, how was work today?" she asked, her smile radiant.I ran my fingers through her hair and replied, "It was good, my dear. I'm learning many new things, but I miss you."She laughed, animated, sharing tales of her day with Chloe, the maid. It was clear how much she enjoyed the company of that kind woman. After a few minutes of lively chat, Caroline suggested we go to the doll's room.We spent an enjoyable time playing with the miniature toys, and before we knew it, Tyler knocked on the door, interrupting our laughter."Ladies, are you ready? We're meeting my parents tonight," he announced.Caroline, excited, changed into a more formal dress from the closet, while I borrowed an outfit from Chloe, who promptly offered me an elegant dress.As we descended the stairs, I felt somewhat uncom
POV Lilyhe scene conveyed a unique tenderness, revealing a side of Tyler that was rarely seen. As I observed him, I felt a wave of gratitude for how he treated Caroline, mixed with curiosity about the complexity behind that confident facade.Tyler turned to me and thanked me for the day. His expression, now more relaxed, conveyed sincere gratitude."You made my niece's day very special, Tyler. Thank you for that, thank you for providing that to her! She's like a daughter to me," I said, stroking Caroline's hair as she slept.He smiled, feeling a mix of joy and satisfaction. "It was a pleasure, Lily. Caroline is an amazing child."I nodded, and Tyler excused himself to give me space to take a relaxing bath. He thanked me again before leaving, leaving me alone to reflect on the day's experiences.While enjoying the hot water from the shower, my mind replayed the events. The closeness to Tyler's family was something new and, at the same time, comforting. A sense of belonging was beginni
POV LILY BROWSThe tension in the air was palpable, and my fingers traced the curves of Tyler's body as he pulled me closer. Every touch sent electricity coursing through my entire being. His lips found my neck with a ferocity that sent shivers down my spine."Since the first time I saw you, I can't stop thinking about you," Tyler whispered in my ear, gently biting my earlobe. The closeness between us was overwhelming, and I found myself immersed in sensations I had never experienced before.Tyler, about to remove the towel and reveal his body completely, was interrupted by my hesitation. "I'm sorry... it's still early, we can't do this," I murmured, feeling my heart race in the intensity of the moment.He stood up, respecting my request, nodding in understanding. The expression on his face was a mix of restrained desire and comprehension. "I'm sorry, Lily. We're just friends, and I overstepped."I felt a whirlwind of emotions as I watched him. Silently thanking him for understanding
POV LilyI woke up abruptly, realizing that my alarm hadn't gone off. A quick glance at the clock confirmed the delay. I jumped out of bed in a frenzy, wondering how I could let this happen. The day had barely started, and I was already racing against time.Chloe, always attentive, offered me a quick breakfast. I held a pancake in my hands, savoring the tempting aroma, but time was not on my side. I asked hurriedly for Tyler, and Chloe's response brought a subtle discomfort."He left for work a long time ago," she said, and a tightness settled in my chest. He had left without me. The feeling of being left behind was more disconcerting than I expected.Chloe, sensing my sadness, tried to console me by suggesting I use the family driver. The idea of getting to work in the comfort of a private car, even if it wasn't Tyler's, seemed tempting at that moment.I decided to accept the offer and went to the waiting driver. "Could you take me to the company, please?" I asked with a forced smile
**POV LILY BROWS**I entered the mall, a true consumerism paradise, for the first time. My eyes got lost in the grandeur of the shiny shop windows and the signs promising unmissable discounts. It was a completely new world for me, and excitement pulsed in my chest.Alice, my shopping adventure companion, guided me through the stores, and I felt like an intruder in a universe of glamour and elegance. The first stop was a clothing store displaying mannequins dressed in pieces from famous brands. As I entered, the atmosphere of luxury surrounded me, and the feeling of inadequacy set in.The impeccably dressed saleswomen cast disdainful glances at me as soon as I stepped into the store. It was as if my mere reflection in their mirror could tarnish the aura of sophistication they cultivated. Instead of offering to help, they rolled their eyes and whispered among themselves, clearly refusing to assist me.I stood still, embarrassed, not knowing how to react. That's when Alice, realizing the
**POV LILY BROWS**The tempting aroma of my homemade dinner permeated every corner of the house, wrapping it in a cozy atmosphere. I had spent hours in the kitchen, carefully preparing every detail of the feast that I hoped would surprise Tyler. The hope that this night would be special lingered in the air.After putting the finishing touches on the dishes, I took a deep breath and smiled, satisfied with the result. Love and dedication were the main ingredients of that meal, and I longed for the moment to share it.While the dinner finished in the oven, I rushed to the bedroom to get ready. I chose a dark blue dress, elegant and accentuating every subtle curve. The soft fabric embraced my body, and I felt ready for the occasion. The hours spent choosing the outfit were worth it, and the anticipation of waiting for Tyler added an exciting tone to the moment.With the table set, candles lit, and soft jazz filling the air, I reclined on the sofa, eager for the door to open. Every second
**POV LILY BROWS**The atmosphere in the hospital room was heavy, with Mrs. Miller lying frail in bed, and Tyler struggling to maintain composure. The matriarch's gentle voice cut through the silence, filling the space with a tone of gratitude and vulnerability."My dear son, I'm sorry for causing you worry!" Mrs. Miller expressed her concern, her eyes conveying gratitude for our presence."Stay calm, Mom! Don't strain yourself too much; the doctor said your heart is recovering from the heart attack..." Tyler spoke tenderly, helping her settle in bed. The bond between mother and son was visible, a strong connection that withstood life's adversities.Slowly, Mrs. Miller shifted her gaze to me, and a faint smile formed on her lips. "Lily... dear, thank you for standing by Tyler at this moment. My son pretends to be strong, but... I imagine seeing his mother in a hospital bed, in the red room, receiving intravenous fluids, must be difficult for him!"I held Mrs. Miller's delicate hand, r
**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
