I was dying of worry and simply couldn't stop pacing back and forth in desperation.No one had prohibited anyone from entering or leaving the pack. The pack castle doors had been closed, all the staff were located in the entrance hall, and we already knew many of the employees, we wanted to know if anyone was missing.The children, at least the ones remaining, were placed in their room, locked with security at the entrance door and some scattered throughout the house. We could be sure that no more children would disappear.Now, Fawn was very close, watching everything all the time, suspicious. She had spoken very little to me, was very attentive to every movement of each person.The pure love of our own pups was natural. They were born from us and the love for Dandara had been built. She came into our arms as a baby and we created such a beautiful bond over the years. She was with me at all times, it was as if I was her inspiration. She always tried to imitate me, used the same colors
THIRD PERSON POV | FOUR YEARS AGOPaul felt his heart ache, as if it were being ripped apart from the inside out, when he met a woman he thought he would spend the rest of his life with. He felt complete, fulfilled, as if his life had finally gained some purpose. However, that was not the truth. It did not take long for Catherine to show her true colors. He never imagined she would be as ambitious as she turned out to be.At first, it seemed like she took this passion seriously, like she took the relationship and the love they could build together as a gift from the goddess herself. He couldn't exactly remember when, but he knew at some point a switch flipped in his head and she was no longer the woman she used to be. He was broken, destroyed, and mistreated by the woman he fell in love with. But after all, wasn't that love? His wolf never thought of the possibility of rejecting his own mate. In fact, he considered it a crime for any wolf to do so, believing that the goddess had a pu
Paul's POVI took a while to arrive, but now I was in front of the pack house, staring at everything after a long time without showing up here, without having the courage to step in here. In fact, I never imagined that I would return to my true origins, to home.I sigh, tired, running my hand over my forehead. Half of me was tempted to turn around and leave, but every time I remembered Serena, her disdain... something inside me ignited.I returned after the child was born. I heard that Joshua had died and believed that she would have some sense and come with me. I tried to force her to come, but she screamed and ordered me to be thrown out of the pack. They treated me like nothing and now, yes, now I feel a deep anger at everything.When my father walks out the door, I finally straighten up and stare at him. He assesses me and gives me a smug smile. I narrow my eyes to face him."I knew you would come back," he says, smiling at me."Maybe it's a mistake to be here," I say."No, it's n
POV MALIAI wasn't exactly sure what to expect when I decided to look for clues about Paul and Dandara, but I knew I couldn't give up. Every minute without news of them was a blow to my hope. With my heart racing and determination strong, I found myself in front of a dirty bar, owned by a nearby pack. The place exuded an aura of decay, but I had no choice but to search there.I pushed open the heavy door and entered. The smell of alcohol and smoke was stomach-turning, and it took my eyes a few seconds to adjust to the darkness. Shadowy figures were scattered at the tables, some casting suspicious glances in my direction. Ignoring them, I walked up to the bar, where a burly bartender was wiping glasses with a dirty rag."I'm looking for someone," I began, trying to keep my voice steady. I took out my phone and a photo of Paul, turning it towards him. "Has he been here recently?"The bartender raised an eyebrow and gave me a calculating look. I continued, trying to explain the reason fo
I was so relieved to have found Dandara again. I mean, the feeling of having my daughter in my arms was so unique. The quadruplets were together, being well taken care of, happy - since they don't understand what's happening around us. But, Dandara is here with me. She was so cute sleeping in my arms, calmly.She must be tired. Paul had her for a whole week and I still fear the things he might have done to her. Her little arms are bruised, she has a purple mark on her left cheek and her wrists are hurt. Surely, he tied her up.I kiss her forehead and huddle closer, pulling her to me, leaning against the window with my eyes closed. I was so worried about her that I hadn't been sleeping well for several days. I needed some tranquility now, so I closed my eyes and allowed myself to relax on the bench.When I opened them again, I was no longer inside the car. I was in a beautiful and flowered garden. I knew this place. I looked around and saw Jaden for the first time. Is this where we fou
Completely different from what I thought would happen, Jaden rose again, moving away from between my legs and returning to my breasts. His firm hand held one, while he sucked and nibbled the other, making me moan and arch my back. My core pulsed and I gasped.I moaned, my whole body trembling with his touch, which felt so precise and unique. I placed my hands on his shoulders and threw my head back, feeling his tongue circle around my nipple. I bit my lips, trying not to scream, even though the sensation was so intense.Alternating between one breast and the other — sometimes with his hand, sometimes with his mouth — he teased me, playing with me, making every tiny part of my body suffer with a great electric charge. He teased, sucked, licked, and lightly nibbled my nipples until they were completely erect, making my core pulse as I wrapped my leg around his waist to grind against him.Jaden ran his hand all over my body, tracing every tiny part of me in a delightful way. He slid his
The sun was beginning to rise on the horizon when Malia, Jaden, and Damon gathered in the pack's meeting room. Tension hung in the air, and everyone knew they were about to face an unknown enemy. The conversation with Paul the previous night had made it clear that there was a greater threat lurking, and they needed to act quickly to protect their family and their pack."We need to find out who these people are," Malia said, her voice firm but tinged with concern. "And we need to remember every detail that can help us. Let's start with the wolf who tried to attack us on the road."Jaden nodded, his face serious. "I remember that wolf. His eyes were filled with hatred and anger. He wasn't just any wolf. He was someone with a purpose."Damon, standing beside Malia, furrowed his brow. "I remember him too. It seemed like he was looking for something specific. Maybe he was after Dandara or some sign of weakness.""He seemed desperate," Jaden continued, "as if he had a mission to fulfill. Pe
I was consumed with jealousy. I couldn't handle my own jealousy.With the pack's calmness, I was finally managing to focus on my own feelings and seeing Serena reclaim her place was awful and painful.I didn't want her to, I didn't accept her to. Because to me, it seemed so unfair that she would come in and just reclaim a place in my little girl's life?I snorted, closing my eyes frustrated. Luckily, I was alone and could feel everything alone too, without anyone asking me questions.About ten minutes ago, Dandara said she wanted to live with Serena - who had gone to a small cabin in the center of the pack. Of course I denied at the time."But you were causing a much larger argument than you should have," Jaden said that we couldn't simply stop Dandara here if she wanted to go, okay, it was her right.But I couldn't believe it, I simply couldn't believe that she would leave us after so many years. I took care of her, I attached myself to her, I love her so much, I simply don't know if
