Chapter 40I went the incorrect way without thinking about the ramifications or the catastrophe that awaited me.I headed down the twisting path that would lead me to the doom I was fleeing.The outcomes of the court system are not always good. Not all of the justifications are meant to benefit you. In certain circumstances, unfairness protects you from losing what you have already.The large auditorium was deafeningly silent as our minds were muddled and entangled with countless thoughts.I was standing near the steps, and Hina, who was one step behind me, saw me as her safety, and she was my final hope of escaping. We each had a deal to keep and protect.I could see all the inquiries being asked by the many eyes. Their curiosity was stronger than their words. They didn't dare to inquire why I kept Hina here against the mountain's rules.I had no idea of the regulations, the Oak Pack customs, or the implications of siding with mountain people.I never accepted Xavier and never will, b
Chapter 41 With each step, I followed Amara, my desire to discover the cause for Xavier's forced marriage to me intensified.The law's towering presence, the Pronouncement of Wonder, tormented me as I sought any way out of its curse and the loss of Logan.As we approached the mansion's tranquil backyard, which was currently deserted, my heart hammered like hooves in a race to the finish line.The view is stunning, with a variety of bright flowers, antiques, and gorgeous fountains. The swimming pool added to the mansion's opulence, but there was an odd chill in the air. The thick walls that surrounded the backyard appeared to tell their own story."What a beautiful location, I've never seen anything like it before," I said as I took in the splendor around me."Xavier enjoys spending time here," Amara said.Amara's taut body language and introspective countenance caught my attention as I took in the sights. She was hesitant to share something with me."What's on your mind?" I was curiou
Chapter 42 The peaceful calm of the forest engulfed us, and the pleasant breeze brushed against my skin was complemented by the delicate rustling of the trees. As birds gently glided in the air, the cloudy sky above presented a gorgeous sight.In the middle of such natural beauty, my heart was heavy with frustration. I had carried the weight of my anguish for far too long, with no one to confide in during my darkest hours.But now, with Amara by my side, I felt a renewed feeling of trust and understanding. I felt obliged to open up about my past as she shared hers, to reveal the wounds that had formed me."My mother passed away shortly after giving birth to me," I continued, my voice gentle and vulnerable.Amara's eyes said a lot about her sympathy and genuine care for my misery."I grew up as the only female in the household, living with my grandfather and father. It was the most difficult time of my life, and I yearned for the presence of a mother, a comforting figure to guide me,"
Chapter 43 Sansa's Pov The weight of the truth crushed down upon me, leaving me feeling like a pawn in a game I never wanted to play. Sold to an Alpha, my parents had made a decision that would alter the course of my life forever. Betrayed and confused, I struggled to comprehend why they had made such a heart-wrenching choice.In the depths of my mind, questions echoed and collided, constructing a maze of uncertainty. I yearned to understand the motives behind my parents' actions, but the full truth remained elusive, like scattered puzzle pieces yet to be assembled.Refusing to accept the fate set by the Oak Pack's traditions, I stood firm against being controlled. The idea of being bound by any law or custom made my soul rebel. I was a free spirit, determined to break the chains that threatened to confine me.As I contemplated my next move, I realized Xavier's manipulative games had not kept me entirely in the dark. I had managed to uncover some hidden truths, but there were undoubt
Chapter 44The backyard exuded an enchanting aura as the fragrance of various flowers mingled in the air, painting the atmosphere with delightful scents. The sun bid farewell to the cloudy sky, casting a warm glow upon the surroundings.My mind was still reeling from the shocking revelation that I had been sold to an alpha. It was the most heart-wrenching part of the whole ordeal. Regardless of the reasons behind my parents' deal with Xavier, the fact remained that I had been sold like a possession, granting Xavier the legal right to claim me. The realization was a painful truth that I struggled to come to terms with.As a gentle breeze picked up, I halted and turned to face my genuine friend, Amara, who had been a constant source of support by my side."What if the child is a boy?" my curiosity compelled me to seek further knowledge.Amara seemed to sense my desperation and interest in the topic, hesitating slightly before responding. I could tell my curiosity had raised some reservat
Chapter 45 "Let's go!" Vera declared, her voice tinged with urgency."Where?" I inquired, intrigued by her sudden proposition."Don't you want to escape from here?" asked Vera, gauging my interest."Yes," I replied with hope, my heart leaping at the idea."Let me show you the way out," offered Vera, and her words felt like a blessing.Without hesitation, I took her outstretched hand, feeling a surge of relief as we embarked on our journey to my fate. Every step we took brought me closer to my ultimate goal, and I couldn't wait to reunite with Logan, my heart longing for him.I was determined to leave Xavier behind and never see him again in my life."Do you think Xavier will spare Logan once we're out of here?" Vera's unexpected question pierced through my joy.My steps faltered as if I had stumbled into a pit just ahead of me. I released her hand, and a heavy cloud of sadness darkened my thoughts. Fear crept into my heart, causing it to race."You're just one step away from achieving
Chapter 46 My gaze searched the crowd, taking in the imposing presence of the Oak Pack, the watchful Mountain Guards, and Hina, who was now a few feet behind me. Their collective attention weighed heavily on me as if I were a monument being examined."Maya from the Mountain!" I yelled out, my voice firm and commanding. "What makes you want to take Hina away from me?"Maya, who was big and intimidating, took a step forward. "Hina is a member of the Mountain Pack; she rightfully belongs with us," she stated emphatically.I said, shaking my head, my medium-brown hair falling down my back, "Hina is not a prisoner here; I willingly gave her shelter.""You have no idea how dangerous she is," explained Maya."What is the danger?" I inquired, hoping to completely comprehend the issue."For a young bride, staying here instead of in the mountains poses risks at every second," she explained."I will not allow you to take her against her will," I declared emphatically."Somethings are predetermin
Chapter 47 "That is unacceptable! Surely there must be a way to resolve this situation?" upset Jerry's voice trembled in terror."When can we expect Xavier's return?" inquired Ruth, concerned."Who knows how long he'll be away, but if Marina's information is correct, he'll return with Levine," seriously Fariya replied."We need him right now; we're all in deep trouble," upset Jerry shouted."What happens if that's the case?" After a long silence, Amara's voice rang forth.Amara's remarks drew everyone's attention, and the room fell silent. They were afraid as if they were under attack. Throughout it all, I kept focused on my quest to discover the person responsible for Hina's injuries."We're not cowards, but we've kept quiet to avoid causing more trouble. However, enough is enough! "Maya should respect the pack's Luna," said Amara.She bravely stood by my side, and I never anticipated having such a devoted companion in my life."Amara is correct! "Miss Maya should have shown more res
