View MorePOV Alpha Gideon"Don't talk nonsense, Katy! What are you implying with this? That I don't care about our daughter?" I growled impatiently, releasing Dr. Afonso, who slumped against the wall, coughing weakly and struggling to regain air in his lungs.Katy advanced towards me, her eyes flashing with anger. She gestured for the doctor to leave, leaving us alone in the room. I stared at her seriously, but she didn't seem intimidated by my presence."What are you doing here?" I asked sharply, turning my back to sit at the wooden desk. The air was tense, filled with the expectation of what would come next. With heavy breaths, Katy positioned herself in front of me once again, forcing me to meet her gaze. Her eyes overflowed with rage. Then, with a sharp gesture, she threw the papers onto the table, as if unloading all her accumulated frustration and hatred. Her face twisted in a mask of pain and resentment as she began to pace back and forth, trying to keep calm but failing miserably."Loo
POV Alpha Gideon."Eleanor is very ill!" The maid shouted, her voice filled with despair echoing down the palace hallway. "Get a doctor immediately!" she continued, grabbing a basin of water and placing it on Eleanor's forehead, which burned with fever.I heard the shrill cries as I made my way down the corridor towards Eleanor's room. Her faint scent hung in the air, as if death were near. I approached the bed where she lay, her face pale and lifeless, lips dry, and breathing shallow. Her normally vibrant, shining red hair had taken on a greenish hue, a sinister sign of the severity of her condition. The maids around her did everything in their power to try to revive her, but Eleanor didn't respond to any stimuli."Where is the doctor?" my voice sounded stern, making the people around me tremble in fear."Alpha... he's on his way... we've called him... but..." the girl swallowed nervously, hesitating as if afraid to tell me something."Speak! Or it will be worse for all of you!" I re
Eleanor's POVMy heart pounded erratically as I found myself immersed in the darkness of the forest. Every sound, every shadow seemed to conspire against my sanity as I struggled with the fog enveloping my being."Who's there?" My voice came out as a fearful whisper, echoing among the eerie trees towering around me.The response came in a calm and serene female voice, yet it filled me with inexplicable terror. "You know me, Eleanor... I am the person who has always been by your side, watching you..."I tried to force my eyes to see through the dense fog, but all I could glimpse was a large haze, an indistinct shadow enveloping me like a dark veil.Then, the screams began. Shrill, desperate, echoing through the forest like a haunting lament. And amidst the flames dancing diabolically, emerged the image of a huge black wolf. Its eyes gleamed with sinister intensity, its sharp teeth shining in the firelight. It was the embodiment of terror, an imminent threat approaching the defenseless
Eleanor's POV"Katy," the alpha king began, his voice sounding rigid and inflexible. "You seem to confuse compassion with weakness. I don't choose based on your status or your pretensions. You may be the daughter of an alpha, but that doesn't give you the right to belittle another person or question my choices. Your obsession with power and status is disgusting. You're nothing but a gold-digging bitch who's only after the power I represent as an alpha. You think you love me? Don't make me laugh! You love the power I carry and the fact that I'm a powerful alpha, don't you? You're just a spoiled girl, raised in a golden cradle, accustomed to having all your desires fulfilled since birth, thinking the world revolves around your futile wishes!" He rolled his eyes and turned his back on her, leaving her alone in the middle of the hallway."Alpha..." she tried to grab his arm, but he pushed her away without caring.Katy's eyes brimmed with tears, and her hand clenched into a fist; she autom
Pov Alpha Gideon:My serious demeanor quickly brightened as I spotted Eleanor entering the room. She approached timidly, a slight blush coloring her cheeks. With a discreet gesture, she made a small bow to the doctor standing beside me."Eleanor, this is Doctor Afonso. He'll be in charge of your case from now on," I introduced them, while the doctor smiled warmly in response, greeting her courteously.With a gentle gesture, Dr. Afonso left us alone. Eleanor, now more relaxed, looked at me with gratitude, a shy smile lighting up her face."Thank you, Your Majesty, for everything you've done for me," she expressed sincerely, her eyes reflecting a mix of emotions."It's the least I can do, Eleanor. You're part of my pack, after all, you belong to me," I replied seriously, my tone reflecting my commitment to her well-being.Eleanor hesitated for a moment before speaking, but soon found the courage to share the good news she had received from the doctor."Dr. Afonso said I'm managing to ga
Pov Alpha Gideon:I was sitting in my chair, savoring a beautiful deer I had hunted for the afternoon lunch, when my beta entered through the door of the room, holding several papers. "I didn't know you had gone out hunting," he commented, observing the dead deer on the table."I can't stand those frozen foods they sell in the human world anymore. We're so used to them that many of us lose the thrill of the hunt, but I refuse to lose that!" I replied, taking a bite of a rich thigh of meat."Some humans spotted a wolf running around the forest nearby. We need to be more careful. You know how unpredictable humans can be. Some say the wolf was huge and could be a werewolf that emerged from the depths of hell to torment us," Josh spoke, throwing the folder in my direction.I let out a sarcastic laugh. "Humans are so stupid. They always resort to mysticism. They have no idea of the number of supernatural creatures living around them, hidden. But for them, wolves like us are just legends."
pov katy"Miss Baker... your visitor has just arrived!" The maid informed me, interrupting my moment of peace. I sighed deeply, handing Helena over to her. The child wouldn't stop crying; her colics were leaving me exhausted. Luckily, my parents allowed my younger sister, Gaby, to spend a few days with me to help out."Katy, I missed you so much!" Gaby said, rushing to hug me. We were only a year apart and very close. Gaby used to hide in my room when she did something wrong or when she was scared of the dark."I missed you too, sweetheart! Did you bring what I asked for?" I inquired, with a serious expression on my face. She eyed me a bit suspiciously and then handed me a package."I don't understand why you would want this. Mom said that in the long run, this is harmful to wolves..." Gaby rolled her eyes, clearly disgusted."It's not for me, idiot! It's for the new girl who entered the palace," I replied, shrugging as I put some of the herb into a teacup."I heard about the commotio
Pov Eleanor.I was lost in my own thoughts when I heard knocks on the door. Instantly, my mind jumped to the possibility of it being Eloise with my raspberry tea, a small comfort amidst the whirlwind of recent events. A smile formed on my lips and I rushed to open the door, only to be confronted with Katy's hostile sight, her expression dripping with mockery and sarcasm."What are you doing here?" I asked, confused and somewhat surprised by her unexpected presence in my room."Eleanor... the girl from the video," she began, her voice containing a poisonous mixture of contempt and disdain, "I don't know what you did to get the alpha king on your side and prevent yourself from being banished from this palace, but know that I won't let you seduce him, you cunning snake!"Her cutting accusation hung in the air, filling the space with a great tension between us. I could feel anger bubbling inside me, but I fought to maintain my composure in the face of Katy's attack."... this has nothing
POV Eleanor.A few hours later."Ellen, I'm so glad you're okay... I was so worried," Amber ran towards me and enveloped me in a warm hug. Her smile was contagious, and I couldn't help but smile along with her.Amber entered my room, and I asked the maid to leave us alone; at that moment, the alpha king was still saying goodbye to the other guests, and I had asked to leave the party early because I was tired, my mind was still confused, and in my chest I felt a whirlwind of emotions."What's wrong?" I asked, curious, as she continued to smile mysteriously."There's something different about you... I can feel it!" she said, her eyes shining with enthusiasm."What do you mean? I'm just relieved that Johanna and Emily have finally paid for the harm they did to me," I replied, trying not to let myself be carried away by the hope that was starting to bubble up inside me."Ellen, it's okay... You don't need to hide it from me. I see hope in your eyes. I haven't seen that in you for a long t
