—ALPHA HAWTHORNE’S POV—The bar section was nearly empty, with me being the only one left. I made the decision to have a drink and attempt to clear my head, as thoughts of Aurora continued to occupy my mind. I had chosen to visit one of the most luxurious hotels in the area, and I was resolute in my decision.All the methods I had tried to forget Aurora seemed futile, and I was well aware that the only way I could numb the pain was by getting drunk. I craved a night of heavy drinking, a brief relief from the torment in my heart.My hand held a glass of wine, and I took a deep sip, finishing the contents before placing the glass back on the table. I furrowed my brows and sighed as I couldn't help but think about her.I was battling with an unfamiliar feeling, one I couldn't quite understand. It wasn't love; it felt more like guilt, pain, and an unending suffering that wouldn't stop. I was no longer the confident Alpha that made everyone scatter in fear at the mere sight o

He nodded and, placing the phone back into his pocket, held the car door open for me. I settled into the passenger's seat, and he took his place in the driver's seat. As I glanced at him through the rearview mirror, I couldn't help but notice his cold and distant gaze."Do you think she is the cause of all this?" he asked, starting the engine, and we sped toward our destination."That, I do not know, but I believe she might have some information," I replied, and he nodded with a look of understanding on his face.Soon, we arrived at a building that, in contrast to mine, appeared rather unremarkable. However, it was heavily guarded. Initially, the guards moved to stop us, but one glance at Ryan left them trembling in fear, much to my amusement.They gave us a pass, and we drove into the premises. As soon as we parked and I stepped out, I stared at the building, trying to take in its details. It was quite spacious from the inside and had an air of tranquility. This was the first time I

—3rd person pov— As the sun gave way to a crescent moon in the sky, it shone brightly, casting a different kind of illumination. The air grew colder, and patches of fog began to form, creating a mystical atmosphere. A wolf darted through the forest, its brown eyes gleaming with a trace of cold determination. It moved swiftly, and soon, a pack of other wolves joined in the pursuit. Their powerful paws left distinct prints on the ground as they chased after their prey. The lone wolf reached a cliff's edge, coming to an abrupt halt as it encountered a dead end. There was nowhere else to go, and it understood that taking another step would lead to certain death as it would plunge down the steep mountainside. The wounded wolf, its injuries apparent, turned to face the leader of the pursuing pack. Its eyes glared at the dominant wolf with a mix of anger and resignation, ready to confront its fate. The tall, obsidian-black wolf loomed over the injured wolf, a clear display of dominance.

-AURORA’S POV-As I walked past the group of omega slaves who were diligently carrying out their tasks, I forced a smile and acknowledged their gestures of respect with a nod. Despite my privileged upbringing, I had never considered myself superior to anyone, and this situation was new to me.I held onto Xavier, who was either chuckling or crying, while Bella joined some of the maids to lend a hand. Despite my attempts to dissuade her and encourage her to rest, she refused and insisted on coming along, leaving me with no choice but to comply with her wishes."I'm sorry, Mistress," an omega stammered after clumsily bumping into me, causing a tray to slip from her grasp. She hastily bent down to retrieve it, then nervously met my gaze, fear evident in her eyes."It's alright, and please, you can address me by my name," I reassured her, and she nodded before walking away.Bella walked in, tugging at my dress while I glanced down to look at her. "Mummy, come, you'll want to see this

—Alpha Hawthorne’s Pov—Sitting before the roaring fireplace, I closed my eyes and let myself be enveloped by the soothing sound of crackling flames. It brought a sense of peace and warmth that was much needed in that moment.I was dressed in a deep red robe, the rich fabric flowing around me. In my right hand, I held a wine glass, its contents swirling gently as I stared into the vibrant orange flames. My legs were casually crossed, a personal habit of mine that I found comfortable. In my left hand, I held Aurora's note.Beside me, the butler stood ready, awaiting my command. He held a bottle of wine and poured it into my glass as I requested, his movements precise. He retreated silently once I'd had my fill. With a deliberate motion, I folded Aurora's note and tossed it into the flames. I watched it burn, turning to ash and disappearing into the fire. There was nothing left of it, just as there was nothing left of the past.The crackling of the flames filled the room, enveloping it

Aurora stood before me, her eyes filled with disdain as she cast a piercing gaze my way. Her black eyes narrowed as she clutched a baby tightly. I reached out to touch her, but she forcefully pried my hands away from her shoulder, tears streaming down her cheeks.Behind her, there was a dense cloud of fog. She maintained her unwavering gaze on me, slowly retreating into the mist. I attempted to follow her, shouting her name desperately, but my efforts were in vain.A sudden loud noise jolted me awake. I glared at the door, and to my surprise, Alex was in my room, his expression filled with apprehension.I didn't require him to explain the situation as the low growls resonating from the courtyard were enough to inform me that my home had been invaded by rogue wolves, a thought that thrilled me. I tossed the duvet aside, beads of sweat forming on my forehead.“Stay inside!” I ordered, my ears now picking up the sounds of battle. My guards were already engaged in trying to stop the invad

-AURORA’S POV- Three weeks had passed since the arrival of the stranger. Diego had fulfilled his promise by bringing a doctor to tend to the injured man, and Alpha Riel had been informed about the situation. His orders were clear. We were to take care of the young man, nursing him back to health so that we could later question him. During this time, I had made an effort to get to know all the omega slaves and create a sense of comfort around me. I managed to make a few friends among them, although many still harbored resentment, likely due to the fact that I had replaced their previous mistress. It took time, but I also managed to restore the house to its former state. I had established a few nurseries, and even Alpha Riel was impressed when he came to visit. His greatest admiration was reserved for the fact that I had formed bonds with the omegas and made them feel cherished and cared for. When Alpha Riel organized a search party to locate Bella's foster parents, he had intended t
