Tonight Xander could no longer wait to mate with Xevia. The wolf inside him was crying out for it. Tonight was the full night when he and his mate were supposed to mate in wolf form.But tonight would also be a crucial night because if they were to mate in wolf form then the guard around Izlav's urban forest would have to be tightened. After mating, the two wolves would usually hunt animals and travel around the forest together.Of course she didn't want her mate's rare wolf form to be known to many people. The few information leaks that eventually resulted in so many other wolves hunting Xevia were enough to overwhelm her.***Xevia woke up in the middle of the night, as her sense of hearing caught the tinkling of a piano strung in beautiful notes. Slowly she got out of bed, and still in a semi-conscious state she made her way to the door. Her steps halted at the doorway. The beautiful, melodious sound was coming from downstairs. "Could it be Xander?" she wondered to herself. She

Author's POV "I miss you..." Xevia hugged him tightly as just as he opened the doors.His eyes widen in surprise as he hugs back, "Me too." He kissed her forehead and then let go. She sat beside him on the couch. "Is that why you haven't been picking up my calls?" She frowns. He sighs, "I got busy with stuff.. and some work," Alarick Glancing at the stack of books and the laptop lit up on the table."Are you still working at Luciad's company?" asked Xevia when she accidentally saw Luciad's company logo appear on Alarick's laptop screen."Yes, I mean it's just a small project and my ex-fiancé's mother asked me to design a new logo for her company, that's all." He looked away from her."It's alright if you can't tell me about it yet, but I need you to remember your promise!"Alarick sighed. "I'm sorry not telling you about this earlier..." Alarick look at her softly and caressed her hair gently.The meeting ended on Alarick's hot bed. Afterwards Xevia fell into a deep sleep and woke

Author's POVXevia didn't know where Alarick was taking her and her baby. But she trusted the man she loved completely. Trusting him like the moon trusts that the night is only for him. And like the clouds that believe the rain will come.***"It's been three days. And he did not return here? I'm scared to be in this place alone," Xevia whined as she scrunched up her face. This was the fifth time she had called Alarick iam, whining for him to come soon. Yes. Alarick had left her alone in the lakeside house. It turned out he was just dropping her off and heading back to the city because he had work to do. Alarick's promise to take her to church and tie the knot had not been realized. Until three days later, Alarick had not returned to the house by the lake. There was no transportation in that remote place, so Xevia couldn't go anywhere but eat and sleep.In the past few days, she has also felt sick and nauseous all over. She attributed it to her body's reaction to the cold weather i

Author's POVArcher continues to persuade Xander to find Xevia's whereabouts. However, his selfishness and pain exceeded the limit. So for a while he chose to stay in place without movement even though his heart was in turmoil."Come on bro, are you going to let your baby be taken away by that rancid bastard?" Archer tightened his fist on the table.Meanwhile, Xander was like a fool who continued to brood and remain silent."Are you going to-""Will you shut up, Arch!" Xander snapped and snapped at him.Instantly Archer fell silent in shock at his brother's yelling."I'm sorry, Brother, I didn't mean-""I know you are deeply hurt by your mate betraying you. But you can't let our successor fall into the hands of those ruthless alphas. You know what the Ivyari will do with your mate and baby, right? Are you going to stand by like this? And let us lose? Are you going to continue to mourn your heartache for her?" Xander stared silently at his uncle, not daring to argue or do anything that

Author's POV"Alarick, we have to hand over the girl and the baby to the organization. You can't put it off any longer..."The voice echoed in the silent room, it sounded so clear to Xevia's sense of hearing.That voice made Xevia curious, she knew this would not end well for her, considering it was Louvre Ivyari who said that. Yes, that woman, Alarick's mother.The cruel woman who had made her life more miserable than ever."When will the sacrifice be made, mother?""As soon as possible.""Don't we need to wait for the baby's birth time?""I don't think so, we can cut open the woman's abdomen to force the baby out.""Then what about the other potential sacrifices?""We will do the same to the other potential sacrifices. It's just that you know, this ritual won't do any good if the baby of the blind rogue prince doesn't exist? We really need them, that bitch and her baby...""Alright, mom, I'll take her to the ritual site.""No, you but us...""We have to take her now, we don't have m
