Alpha Hawthorne CHAPTER 45
I tried to sit up as the bright morning light, flodded into the room but I was met with a sharp, piercing, pain from my side. A grunt involuntarily escaped my lips, and I clenched my teeth, biting down on my lower lip to stifle the pain. It was clear that I had sustained serious injuries during the battle with the rogues, and the pain was a stark reminder of the recent ordeal. Removing the duvet from my body, my gaze fell upon the bandage wrapped around my waist, concealing the gunshot wound. I diverted my attention away from my injury as the sound of approaching footsteps reached my ears. The familiar surroundings indicated that I was in the mansion, specifically my bedroom. "You're awake, Hawthorne," Ryan greeted with a faint smile as I attempted to sit up. The unease in his eyes became evident when I started to get out of bed. "You must rest; allow yourself time to heal," he advised, his words laced with genuine concern. "I'm fine," I responded, but Ryan didn't appear convinced a

“I’m sorry,” he apologized as tears streamed down his eyes, but there was still something I didn’t understand.How did they manage to reach him in the first place? He had been in my employment for five years, so how did they force him into betraying me?“How did you become a part of them?” I inquired, and after a few moments of hesitation, he finally revealed what I wanted to know.While I was away in search of my mate, he had gone to visit his sick daughter. However, she was no longer at the hospital, and the doctor had informed him that her uncle had come to take her. He was afraid because she had no uncle, and the only relative she had was killed by him.He had no idea what to do until he received a call from an unknown man who told him that if he ever wanted to see his daughter again, he should come to a location they had specified for a meeting. Alex had gone, hoping to reunite with his daughter, but instead, he was beaten up.He was driven to an undisclosed location with his mou

—Aurora’s pov—Alpha Riel had organized another gathering, albeit a smaller one, during which his decision to pass on his leadership to Diego was publicly announced to all the manor's residents.It was now official. Diego was going to be the new Alpha. I couldn't help but wonder why he hadn't informed me earlier to spare me from the shock.I applied lipstick and scrutinized my reflection in the mirror. George had already confessed his love for me, and despite the fact that I knew I shouldn't be involved with him, given my status as a mother and having a mate, I had chosen to give him a second chance.I was aware that many people would be attending the event, so dressing casually wasn't an option. George had already sent me a dress he had purchased, and even though I still felt conflicted about the situation, I had decided to go through with it.I took a moment to admire how the scarlet-colored dress George had bought for me accentuated my curves. It was un

His eyes remained fixed on me for a brief moment before he disappeared into the crowd, taking shelter among the partygoers. I might have been able to spot him if it hadn't been for the dimming lights, replaced by the glow of a disco ball.I had lost sight of him, but the awareness that he was here, right in this room, sent a shiver down my spine. The way he had glared at me gave me an unsettling feeling. It was as if he harbored a deep resentment towards me, as though I had committed some terrible offense against him."Aurora?" Monica's voice snapped me out of my thoughts, and I turned to look at her. She wore a concerned expression as she glanced in the direction I had been staring and then back at me. "Are you okay?" she asked, and I nodded with a smile."Of course, I'm okay," I replied, although the truth was far from it.Who would be okay, knowing that a threat was after them? Although I had initially assumed that Hawthorne might have sent the stranger, I wasn't entirely certain.

-3rd person’s pov-"Hi," Bella greeted her friend with a warm smile as she approached, her friend’s hair styled in pigtails. The two girls hugged each other tightly. As they pulled away from the embrace, Bella couldn't help but notice the imposing figure of the guard standing behind her friend, his expression showing no emotion. She knew he was her friend's personal guard, assigned to protect her by her father."You came?" Emily exclaimed in surprise, and Bella nodded, fully expecting the reaction. It had been a year since they became friends, and memories of their past encounters flooded in.Emily, the daughter of one of the wealthiest couples in the Manor, had gotten lost in the crowd during the annual Festival of the Moon, a celebration of the moon goddess. Bella had helped her find her way back then, and that's how their friendship had begun.It had been getting dark when Emily had bumped into Bella during that fateful night at the Festival of the Moon. Emily had alwa

-Aurora’s pov-We stood there for a while, and as he advanced toward me, I found myself gradually retreating while keeping a watchful eye on him. Even though we were both betas, I knew that in the event of a fight between us, the odds of my winning were quite slim."Come with me now, and I will make it easy for you," he said, confirming my suspicion.Hawthorne had indeed sent someone after me. The fact that he didn't inquire about Xavier indicated he probably wasn't informed about him or had simply forgotten. I took a step back, then abruptly halted, fixing him with a defiant glare."Why should I come with you?" I asked. He stopped in his tracks, and a sly smile slowly spread across his lips, as if he had been eagerly anticipating someone to pose that very question."Because I would hurt everyone you care about and still walk out of the manor undetected," he said with a harsh frown. "You should pray to your stars that nothing happens to my mate, or you would be…" He tr

—Alpha Hawthorne pov— The following morning, I took my place before the council, extending an invitation to Ryan to join us. An intense silence settled in the room as all eyes turned toward us, filled with anticipation. Vera's gaze lingered on Ryan, a mixture of curiosity and disappointment evident in her eyes. It was as though she questioned his presence at the meeting, but I paid no heed to her scrutiny. "I regret to inform you that in the past few days, our pack has fallen victim to a series of rogue attacks, resulting in the kidnapping and tragic loss of several of our brothers, myself and Vera included," I announced, and a collective gasp filled the room as the council members absorbed the shocking revelation. I proceeded to provide them with a detailed account of the attacks, beginning with Vera's experience and then recounting my own. However, I chose not to disclose certain information, specifically regarding the location of the captured wolves. Only Vera
