Hektor's POVI can’t believe that five years have flown by…I stand on the balcony of my luxurious chamber, gazing at the vast territory of the Royal Pack. It's like a beautiful painting, with lush greens, towering trees, and colorful wildflowers. Suddenly, I thought about the White Fang Castle.I shut my eyes, remembering it very vividly. The sun's warm rays bathed me in golden light as kept my eyes shut, recalling the grandeur of the castle. The library's scent of old books, the mouthwatering aroma of feasts in the dining hall, and the laughter that echoed through its corridors during celebrations. Memories of my childhood flooded my mind. Ah…the nostalgia it brings. I went back to my room and quickly put on my training clothes. Even though memories of the White Fang Castle still floated in my mind, I felt a sense of comfort in my new home, in the Royal Pack. I decided to focus on the present and leave the past behind as I started my day.Walking through the training ground, a fe
Shea’s POVI live as a rogue now, far from the princess life I once knew in the Royal Pack. I approached our simple shelter and smelled the aroma of roasted herbs in the air. Opening the creaky wooden door, I saw Vlad, illuminated by warm light from inside. He looked relieved and proud as he saw me, and his face brightened with a gentle smile."Welcome back, Shea!" Vlad exclaimed happily. "And look who's here to greet you!"Beside Vlad stood a young boy, his eyes wide with curiosity and excitement. My heart skipped a beat."Mommy!" I smiled widely, reaching out my hand to welcome him. Yes, I found out I was pregnant when I left the White Fang Castle five years ago and Bradley was the fruit of it. I knelt down, letting the game fall from my shoulder, and smiled at my little boy.He looked at me intently and reached out to touch my shoulder. "You're really strong, Mommy," he said in awe. I ruffled his hair in return, making him pout. I glanced at Vlad, my eyes filled with gratitude.
Shea’s POVAfter what felt like an eternity, the guard finally disappeared into the castle to bring my family out. I stood there, my heart pounding, anxiously awaiting their arrival. The castle doors swung open, and my eyes locked with Mom, Dad, and Ajax, who stepped out into the sunlight. Their faces were etched with surprise and disbelief, mirroring the emotions swirling within me."Mom! Dad! Ajax!" I called out, my voice trembling with joy and relief. Tears welled up in my eyes as I ran toward them, unable to contain my emotions any longer. My legs moved as if guided by pure instinct, carrying me closer to the people who meant the world to me.They stood there, frozen in astonishment, their eyes wide with shock. It was as if time had paused for a moment, allowing our eyes to meet and our souls to reconnect. The distance between us narrowed with every step, until at last, I threw myself into their outstretched arms."Sweetheart, is it really you?" Mom's voice quivered with a mixtur
Shea's POV"Where the hell is your father, Bradley! He swore to be here with me always, but where is he?!" I vented at my firstborn, clutching my belly. It had grown so big, resembling a watermelon that I had swallowed whole. It wasn't surprising, considering I was carrying Hektor's twins."Calm down, Mommy! Daddy would be here any moment. I am sure he is on his way," he answered. "He is right, Shea. Come on. Let me help you deliver your twins. My grandsons are ready to come out," my mother, Elora, encouraged as I shifted my attention to her.I gritted my teeth while I endured the throbbing pain in my stomach. My twins wanted to come out in the world, but I wouldn't let them until their father was by my side. When I delivered Bradley, Hektor was not on my side. So, we promised each other that this time, he would be present as I birthed our twins. "Come on, Shea. Don't be stubborn. Your husband is gonna be here soon. Let's go inside so you can free yourself from this pain. Let your t
ELORA’S POVUnder the starless night sky, I heard my wolf shout inside my head. ‘Run, Elora! I sense trouble!’Hearing this, I wasted no time dashing through the evening breeze. The dim moonlight was the only thing that lit the whole forest so I had to rely on my werewolf senses to navigate this woody terrain. “Damn,” I whispered under my breath as I continue to run. I was sprinting barefoot yet the pointy stones and thorny branches did not bother me anymore. Why? Because I was used to this setup the moment I decided to live as a rogue. I had always been running ever since. It was tiresome but I didn’t have a choice. My life sucks and I learn to deal with it by dashing away. I was only eight when I was deprived of my parents’ love. They both died in a rogue attack. I could still remember the moment my Uncle Lucian stood in front of all the remaining pack members that unwanted night. With tears in his eyes, he announced the death of my alpha parents, while confirming that the alpha
ELORA’S POVAt this moment, I should have moved my feet and run. But for some weird reason, my body froze on the spot. There was something in the way he looked at me that made my knees wobble. I was like this already when I caught his indifferent gaze. But when I heard his voice the first time, I felt that my heart stopped beating for a short while. “WHO are you?”His deep, husky voice echoed through my ears. His demeanor was shouting danger yet I found it incredibly sexy. And yet, I restrained myself. I should not be blinded by how good he sounded. I knew too well how ruthless the Alpha King was.Perhaps I zoned out with convincing myself how dangerous the alpha of the Royal Cavern was that I failed to realize that he was already a few inches from where I was standing. Once again, his pair of electric orbs bewitched me, keeping me motionless and out of words. “I won’t repeat my question. Answer me,” he said while lifting my chin. Damn! Why am I acting like this in front of this da
Hearing the Alpha’s words, I froze on my spot, seething, and trying to suppress my anger from emerging inside me. The rage that was lingering within the corners of my body stayed until I reached the omega’s quarters. I heaved a sigh, remembering how he punished me that easily just because his slut said so.Are mates supposed to be like that? And even if we aren’t mates, isn’t it proper to take my side of the story too in the name of fairness and just?‘I know you are still mad at him,’ Arwen uttered softly in my head, trying to justify Alpha Dominic’s action. “Mad?” I rolled my eyes hearing her. “I am not mad at him. I fucking hate him!” ‘Don’t be like that, Elora. He is still our mate and the Alpha King. It is much better if you will obey his every word. It’s for the best.’“Obey him? Are you out of your mind?” I responded, opening the curtains of my new room in the process. “I would never submit to a shallow man like him. You know what? I didn’t have to put up with all of this. I
ELORA’S POVI didn’t know where I get the courage to ask him that. Perhaps the complicated emotions circling the way we met had taken their toll on me. Or maybe, I was just looking for some answers regarding the way he was treating me. We were supposed to be mates, yet, I didn’t feel that whenever he was around. “Are you that dumb to not figure out why?” he asked arrogantly. “Imagine the shame I would be getting if the world would know about you. You are nothing but an embarrassment to me and my pack. I don’t know why the moon goddess chose a disgusting rogue like you to become my mate.”For the first time since we met, I was out of words. The way he delivered those sentences was like sharp daggers piercing through the depths of my soul. My chest tightened to the sting of pain yet I tried my best to ignore it. I shouldn’t feel like this but somehow, my body reacted differently and I couldn’t control it. ‘Tell him the truth, Elora! Tell him you are not a rogue but an Alpha’s daughte
