HECTOR POVWe returned to the mansion together with my men. We roamed the vast land and even searched the nearby lands, but we can’t find Lucas. There wasn’t even a single trace of my mate. I was so angry. I want to hurt myself for allowing this to happen. She was in the mansion, I thought she was safe here. But in an instant, the enemy was able to have her. Stefan ran to approach me.“Hector, someone betrayed us and allowed those enemies to come to the mansion and create trouble so everyone’s attention will transfer to them,” he declared.I closed my eyes as anger rose within me.“Do you have any idea who betrayed us?”Stefan shook his head.“The guards who are guarding the main gate were poisoned early this morning when you are not around. Someone is covering up so we can’t determine who is it.” He said.I can sense that this person is close to me. He knows my every movement. I should not trust the people around me.“Stefan, I want you to double the guards around my land. We need to

HECTOR POVI never thought, that in just a blink of an eye, I will lose two of my trusted men. They've been poisoned. My hands balled into a fist. Ryan told me that it was poison. Ryan has been staying in the mansion since Luna went missing. Ryan did some tests with the wine Francis gave me, and he confirmed that the wine was mixed with poison.I ordered my men not to tell anyone that Philip and Carlito were dead. I need to catch the culprit and use his bait against him.I closed my eyes. I can feel a burning pain in my chest. I never thought Francis could betray me. Why?I treated him as my best friend, as my brother. He and Stefan were by my side for years. We fought together and protected one another.I could never think of a reason why he did this to me."Hector, I have a plan," Ryan spoke on my side."What's your plan?""I've invented a certain kind of medicine that could make a person look dead. You know, I tried it before with one of my assistants and it was effective,"I raise

HECTOR POV"I'm coming for you, Luna," I told myself. I still can't believe I was able to kill my friend, Francis. I tasted his blood in my mouth the moment my sharp teeth sank into his neck. He betrayed me. I treated him as my brother. I never thought that he and Lucas were half-brothers. Lucas, that alpha will surely die next. Now, that I know his location, time to save my mate. I will rip his soul.Last night, I and my men together with Stefan was able to finalize the plan. Lucas believed that it was his brother who was coming to his place today. My wolves were prepared and the cars too. The black BMW owned by Francis will be the lead. We placed his dead body inside. It will be the biggest surprise for the Madfur pack alpha today. I am excited to see his expression. He will surely freak out seeing his brother's dead body inside the car.I remember my mate. I can't wait to see her and to hug her. I've been worried about her, knowing she was in Lucas' house. My jaw clenched. I want

HECTOR POVMy wound was deep and I can't stand the pain. I lost much blood after Lucas penetrated another wound in my arm and shoulder.My wolf tried to stand and my visions were moving. I need to run and find my mate. Lucas will surely be on his way to get her.I ran deeper into the forest to trace her scent. I reached a place, she was here a while ago. Her scent was strong in this place.I forced my feet to take another step but my body gave up. My chest tightened and I can't run anymore. My whole body went limp."No, I should fight. I need to save Luna," I told myself.But my body is betraying me. My body showed weakness and I can't move anymore. I remained on the ground as pain dominates and I howl.I looked up at the sky. The blue sky and the clouds. I can see her face smiling at me. Luna, my mate. She was very beautiful. She is my life. She is my everything. I closed my eyes and everything went black.I opened my eyes to see my cousin Ryan looking at me with his worried face.I

LUNA POVThe timeless beauty of the sunset captivates my heart. The sky changed into a pale tint of orange. I found myself walking in the sand, feeling its warmth as I prepared myself to welcome the night.I saw a man in the distance. I recognized him, it was my mate Hector. He was standing staring at the sunset too."Hector!" I called his name but he didn't even dare to look in my direction. I'm not sure if he can hear me. I walked closer to him, I want to talk to him, hug him, and tell him how much I love him.As I approached him, I can see him clearly wearing a simple white t-shirt and loose white pants. He was very handsome."Hector! Hector!" I felt the excitement as I run toward him.I am confused, it seems he can't hear me.I stood five meters away from him. My feet suddenly stopped and I can't move from where I am standing.I saw a woman in a white dress approaching him. I felt a stab in my chest. It was Jasmine.Her hair was long and beautiful as always. This time she's just w
