Klaus’s POV I started my day with an intense training session. I needed to pour out every ounce of frustration bottled up inside me. It’s been two weeks since I agreed to find a wife. Two weeks since my life just became a little more unbearable than it already was. I was a mess. I drank myself to sleep every night, because if I didn’t, I would stay up all night drowning in my misery. I haven’t found a woman willing to ruin her life for me yet. I haven’t even looked. Joseph and Sara suggested that they look for someone on my behalf, but I turned them down strictly. No one else needs to suffer. I know they were heart broken for me, but they were also missing their daughter so hard. They were just better at dealing with their grief than me. I hit the shower after I am done, put on casual clothes consisting of skinny dark jeans, and a black t shirt, and head out of my quarters. There was still about three hours till the ceremony started. I didn’t

Ella’s POV I was still standing where I was after the alpha left. His last words made something melt inside my heart. No one ever wished me a happy birthday before. He was the first one. It may be such a trivial thing to be so thrilled about, but to me it meant a lot. I was unable to believe that I offered myself to him. I was supposed to do that if he never found one, not right now. I have no idea why I opened my mouth. I was half expecting him to snap at me in disgust for offering such a thing, I was also half expecting him to take me up on my offer. But he surprised me and did neither. ‘Thank you for thinking about me, when I’ve done nothing to deserve such kindness from you. I don’t deserve your sacrifice for me Ella’ I can’t believe those words came out of him. He showed me a different side of him today. A side that really saw me as just Ella, and not my father’s daughter. It showed how much his struggle was real. How much he was fighting that struggle and that rage inside him

I tried posting this in the comments section of the book, so everyone can read it, but it ended up being a complete and utter mess. So i decided to include it within the book where it can be read more clearly. Hello! I want to thank you so much for the comments, votes, and gems. I wake up everyday, very eager to read your comments and reviews, thrilled that you found it worth voting for and reviewing. I have some of you asking for more and hating to wait between chapters. Let me start by telling you that I absolutely and completely feel your frustration. I have to admit, since this is the first book I have ever written and published, I was too eager to see if people will like it, like my writing, and like the characters, I published it before I was even halfway done with it. While the amazing comments made me work harder to write the new chapters, I started realizing later on that I made a mistake. I should have finished writing it before I started publishi

Ella’s POVHe looked exactly the same as the last time I saw him in my old pack. Same cold smile, same disgusted look. The only difference was that he was wearing a suit to blend in with the guests.“You little girl, are so lucky. You keep surviving. You survived alpha Grey and beta Sam back when you were their slave. You survived alpha Klaus after he figured out who your father was. You survived a god damn knife to your chest!” he said in wonder as he approached me slowly.I take small steps back to keep him from initiating a fight.Not yet, I said to myself. I need him to keep talking as much as possible. Because once the fight begins, I won’t last long. I need to keep buying time long enough for Joseph to find Sara.I tried to keep my voice steady as I said to him “Why are you so keen on killing me? I don’t understand. I told you that I don’t know anything other than what I already said. Why go to all th

Klaus’s POV I burn a hole through the floor as I pace back and forth in front of the room Ella was being treated in. Something was wrong with Sara, but Joseph wouldn’t tell me anything until we were face to face. I was repeating the same prayer over and over again. Please, goddess let her be okay, I cannot bear to lose someone else. “Klaus” Joseph said as he reached for me. “What happened? Tell me that she’s okay. Tell me that she’s alive, please Joseph” I pleaded while holding him tightly. “She’s alive. She’s still in surgery, the doctors didn’t finish yet. But she will live my son. She will be fine. We just have to wait” he said in assurance. “What happened? You told me she was fine” “You needed to save Ella, I didn’t want you to be distracted and waste time on explaining what happened. How is Ella?” he asks in concern. “She’s injured, I don’t know the extent though, they just took her inside. She had a deep wound on the side of her head and probably a broken arm, these were
