Tessa’s POVMy chest was pumping fast and loud inside of my chest, filled with anger.How dare he imprison me here again?There was no chance I would let him do that! He couldn’t just captivate me, treat me like his fucking girlfriend, and throw me in prison again! I’m not a toy!Well… thinking about it, he pretty much made sure I’m one.That idea infuriated me far worse.Huffing in frustration, I angrily changed into comfortable trousers and a shirt before replacing my heels with running shoes.I need some air, or I’d go crazy in this room.Like a movie spy from an action movie, I went on all fours on the ground near the door, closed one of my eyelids, and leaned my cheek on the ground so I could see the moving shadows on the very small space under the door.“Agh!” I silently shouted, noticing Dmitri’s shadow outside. Geez! He’s guarding me again!Zane sure knew how to anger me even more.After a few minutes of looking around the room and searching every nook, I finally came up with
Tessa’s POVMy body shivered from the cold water, but underneath it, it was just more than a shiver. I was trembling, disbelief etched on my face.“W-why are you doing this?” I asked, stammering.The man slowly crouched so he could see me better while I was slammed on the ground like a wet fish in the mud. Narrowing his eyes, he glared at me with so much hate.He raised his hand, reached for my face, and slid his finger on my cheek. As if I was burned, I avoided his finger and crawled back while still keeping my eyes on him.Shit! I was shaking!Rage crossed his eyes when I avoided him. In an instant, this monster turned into my worst nightmare as he extended his hand and swiftly grabbed my face, pinching both my cheeks together and pulling me closer to his face.With gritted teeth and clenched jaws, he grunted in disgust, “You look just like him!”“Like who?” I asked despite my cheeks being squeezed so much that I talked like a puffed fish.“Like that adulterous thief father of yours
Tessa’s POVI scoffed in disbelief. “You’ve gone mad!”“Didn’t I tell you earlier? My mother died when I was five years old, a-and I saw my Mom’s picture. She’s not her!”He laughed. Like a devil who had gone completely mad, Alpha Ralph laughed. He tightened his hold on Cassandra’s hair, making her yelp. “Is she not? Well, why don’t we ask her?”“Leave her alone, Ralph! She’s just a child!” Cassandra shouted. She raised her hands and held onto his wrist, trying to lessen the pressure on her scalp.“Oh, right! How unmannered of me!” he exclaimed, slapping his hand on the forehead, which in turn caused Cassandra to fall on her butt on the ground beside me.Leaning down, Alpha Ralpha caressed Cassandra’s face so gently as he stared into her eyes with those devilish glints. “I should give you some time with your daughter, right? After all, you haven’t seen her for seventeen years.”With that, he turned around and went to the door made of silver.“Wait, no, don’t! Let her go, Ralph! It’s m
Tessa’s POVCassandra weakly crawled forward and held onto Alpha Ralph. She frantically shook her head and tightened her grip on him. “Please, Ralph. I’ll do anything; just don’t hurt her. Don’t hurt my daughter.”My breathing stopped as I watched her beg for my mercy and call me out as her own. She didn’t even care about her own being.”Alpha Ralph yanked Cassandra’s head backward by pulling her hair, making her yelp. Leaning down, he glared at her. “So you admit she’s your daughter!”“Huh!” he scoffed. “All these years, I knew she was still alive! I knew you were pregnant by that fucking dog, and you lied to my face! If I didn’t find her, would you have ever told me the truth?”With trembling chin and gritted teeth, she replied, “If I told you, would you have done differently from what you’re doing now?”He kept silent.Cassandra sarcastically laughed despite the situation she was in. “Thought so!”“You, bitch! Don’t forget who you’re talking to!”“I didn’t! You may be the alpha, bu
Zane’s POVHelplessness was the word I never thought I’d ever feel until the second I pushed open Tessa’s room and found an empty space.My hand that was holding the doorknob loosened, and my eyes fell on the open window where the curtains were being blown by the wind.Rushing, I held the window frame and looked down, only to find some broken twigs on the ground, falling from the tree a few feet away from the room.I slammed my hands hard on the window still and cursed. Glaring at Dmirtri, I remarked, “And you call yourself a trained warrior?” I pointed outside, “How can an omega escape you!”He looked down in shame. “I’m sorry, King Zane.”“Will that help? Go and find her!” I shouted, making him jolt, and ran out of the house.“That’s what you get for being harsh!” my wolf scolded me.Not having time to argue with him, I just ignored him and jumped on the tree Tessa used so I could track where she went. Indeed, I could smell her scent in the branches, especially since there were sma
Tessa’s POV“No! No! Don’t! Please!” I shouted and begged for my life while I held Cassandra’s body as close to mine as if protecting her.Jason’s steps echoed at every move he took to approach me with the whip still in his hand.I sobbed and leaned down, hugging Cassandra as I dipped my head beside hers. “Cassandra… M-mom… please…”My heart trembled in unmeasurable heartache as I let out that word. Mom… I never thought I’d ever say those words out loud again.This woman… She’s someone whom I never met, but she sacrificed her life for me.She said she’s my mother, and I believe her. For some unexplainable reason, I believe her. There’s just something in me that pulled me her to her… to make me believe her.But fate’s a cruel thing. Just as it let me meet someone who’d love me despite anything and protect me from anyone, it took her away from me.Suddenly, Jason’s steps halted. Trembling, I hesitantly peeked at him.His eyes were void of emotions, and he was frozen on his steps. His ha
Zane’s POV“Did you find her?” I shouted, causing Darius, Dmitri, and Susan to come running toward me.The three of them separated ways to increase the speed of finding Tessa. They all looked defeated as they shook their heads. “I’m sorry, Sir. We’ve searched everywhere.”Screams and beg for mercy were echoing everywhere as my warriors pushed their way inside the Red Claw Pack without hesitation.After Darius came to my office to report about it, Mikey immediately had some of his spies scattered around every pack to look for any information. Luckily, the Red Claw Pack was one of those packs he planted, so he didn’t need to plant one anymore, which would take a longer time.Within an hour, we received news that Ralph had gone mad and was venting his anger in his Luna. What’s more, there was another woman Ralph was fuming mad with, and she was there.Though Mikey’s spy couldn’t confirm if it was Tessa, I was sure that it was her, especially after Eric followed him to the office to repor
Tessa’s POV/ Jessica’s POV“Jess!” Tyrone shouted a few feet back before he shifted into his giant white wolf. Tearing and clawing every rogue coming his way.He landed on his paws and looked at me with worry, but I simply smirked at him. “Worry much?” I arrogantly said before I pulled two scimitars from my back and went into a fighting stance without an ounce of panic.My scimitars were basically swords with curved blades, but they were customized. The sharp side of their blades was made of silver, and their end had an arrow-like point to penetrate the enemy.Its handle had a safety curve on it that I could, which was why I could spin it freely around my hands like I was doing today.A deadly glint flashed before my eyes as I moved with agility and started slashing throats from left and right. I even used their bodies as a stepping mid-air so I could continue jumping from one another.“That’s wild!” Lyndon exclaimed after he walked off from one of the trees, where he shifted back to
