Chapter 33
Finally, on a moonless night, the opportunity I had been waiting for arrived.
The guards outside my cell engaged in a heated dispute, their attention consumed by an argument that escalated into chaos. It was my chance, an opening in the fortress of their vigilance.
With every fiber of my being, I propelled myself towards the cell door. Using every ounce of strength I had left, I pounded against it, hoping to weaken its resistance.
Crack after crack appeared, until finally, with a resounding crash, the door swung open.
Freedom beckoned, its warm embrace both exhilarating and terrifying. Without hesitation, I slipped out of the cell, careful not to alert the guards to my escape.
My heart pounded, adrenaline coursing through my veins as I navigated through the labyrinthine corridors.
In that moment, as I weaved through the shadows, I knew that this was only the

It's been weeks since Lia left and I couldn't breathe properly anymore. It feels as if a bigger part of me has been missing.We have searched the whole city and I wonder where Lia might have gone with our child.I sat at the table, looking at the empty chair where Lia usually sat. It had been weeks since she disappeared, taking our unborn child with her. I didn't know where she could have gone, or why she left. All I knew was that I missed her terribly.I wish I was nicer to her. I feel cruel for leading her on. Especially not actually confessing my true feelings.

I rose from my chair and opened it, revealing the Queen Mother, my mother.She looked at me with concern, her eyes brimming with sadness."My dear son," she said, "I know you must be feeling so much pain right now. I wish there was something I could do to ease your suffering.""Mother," I said, my voice shaky and my eyes full of tears, "I don't know what t

I summoned my beta and striked up a conversation concerning Lia, but then he changed his perspective and also suggested something different "What if we looked in the places she loves most?" he said."The places that hold special meaning for her. Perhaps she has gone somewhere that holds significance in her life."I thought about his suggestion, but something about it didn't feel right.I felt in my heart that Lia was not just seeking a place of comfort or refuge. I had a feeling that there was something deeper at play, something more mysterious. I shook my head. "No, I don't think that's it," I said. "I think there's only one person who can help us."My beta and my personal advisor looked at me, curious. "Who?" He asked in unison.As my beta and I discussed the situation, a memory sparked in their mind. He remembered a man who lived in a secluded cabin in the northern forest. He was a rare and powerfu

The sound of Lia probably being in danger made my heart race at a risky rate. Danger!! My wolf howled.The old woman looked at us with a somber expression, as if relieving a painful memory. "The woman you seek was taken by a powerful alpha," she said, her voice quivering."He is known for his ruthlessness and cruelty. He has taken many people against their will, and few have ever returned. Those who have returned spoke of torture and suffering, and they were never the same again."I felt my heart sink as I listened to the old woman's words. The thought of Lia suffering at the hands of this cruel alpha was unbearable."His name is Marcus," the old woman said, her face filled with fear and sorrow. "He is a dark and dangerous man, and his power is great. He takes people by force, using his magic to compel them to follow him. I fear that the woman you seek has fallen prey to his power, and that she is in great danger."The old woman paused, as if she were reluctant to speak further. But t

The meeting hall was adorned with ancient things that depicted the history of our pack, a visual reminder of the legacy we were tasked with protecting.The elders, wise individuals who held the collective wisdom of generations, had gathered around the table. Their eyes, weathered by time, held a mixture of respect and wariness as they awaited my arrival.As I entered the hall, the hushed murmurs ceased, and all eyes turned toward me. The air seemed to grow heavy with the weight of their expectations and concerns, a reminder of the immense responsibility I bore as the pack's leader. I took my place at the head of the table, my posture reflecting the resolve that burned within me."Alpha Maximus," Elder Beige began, his voice a deep resonance that carried the weight of decades of experience.

The urgency in his step mirrored the gravity of the situation we faced."Maximus," he began, his voice resolute, "I've just back from a meeting with the elders of the neighboring pack. They've presented a challenging proposal."My heart tightened at his words. I knew that this proposal could be a turning point in the conflict, a decision that would shape our relationship with the neighboring pack for years to come."What did they propose, Thomas?" I asked, my concern evident.He took a deep breath, choosing his words carefully. "They've stated that they're willing to forgive the incident if we provide them with two she wolves from our pack."The weight of his words settled over me, a difficult request that struck at the core of our values.

But to my dismay, none of them showed up. The disappointment I felt was profound, a painful realization that in times of crisis, trust could be a fragile thing.It was a stark reminder that not everyone held the same values, that alliances could be fickle, and that the road to ensuring our pack's safety would be a treacherous one.But even in the face of this disappointment, I refused to let despair consume me.

His words grated on my nerves, igniting a surge of anger deep within me. The audacity of this man, the way he spoke with such arrogance and superiority, it made my blood boil."Marcus," I spat his name like a bitter taste, "You have no idea what you're dealing with. Lia is not a prize to be won or lost. She's a person, a woman with her own personal life, and you will not treat her as some possession."His chuckle grated on my ears, a mockery of my words. "Ah, the great Alpha Maximus, the noble protector of his pack and now a champion of love," he sneered, his brown eyes glinting with a cruel amusement.I took a step forward, my fists clenched at my sides. "You have no right to keep her here against her will," I declared, my voice dripping with venom. "Release her, Marcus, before I'm forced to take matters into my own hands."He raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise. "Threats, Maximus? How disappointing. But let me remind you of something.
