Syrill's POVI quickly gather my thoughts and turn to my brother and two of my guards who are standing nearby. "Rowan, let's go to the old woman's house. I need to see this for myself.""Alright, Alpha."We quickly made our way out of the pack house, down to the woods where I went with my son, where the old woman was living. It's a small, dilapidated hut which I reconstructed because of my son, on the outskirts of our pack territory. Reaching there, the door is locked, but my guards break it down easily.The inside of the house is musty and dark, with cobwebs and dust covering everything, far worse than we saw it the previous time we came checking. We make our way to the back room, where the old woman used to keep my baby. The emptiness of the room is deafening, but I notice a small chest in the corner.I walk over to the chest and open it. Inside, I find a few old baby clothes, some baby blankets, and a worn-out diary. As I sift through the contents, I notice a folded piece of paper

Syrill's POVAs the sun begins to set, the members of my pack gather in the square, eagerly awaiting the rise of the full moon. It's a tradition that's been carried out for generations, a time where all eligible wolves come to meet their fated mates.I stand at the center of the pack square, watching as my pack members mingle and chat amongst themselves, their excitement palpable in the air. The anticipation builds with each passing minute, until finally, the full moon rises into the night sky, casting a radiant glow over the square."Welcome, my fellow wolves, to the full moon ceremony," I announce to the crowd. "Tonight, we gather to celebrate the union of mates and the strength of our pack."As I stand at the edge of the square, watching the festivities unfold, cheers and howls rang out across the area. I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride for my pack. Cheers and howls ring out across the square, and I can't help but feel a sense of pride for my pack. This is what it means to

Lillo's POVI hear the knock on the door and feel a surge of reluctance, but I still get up to answer it. Kryl and Rowan were here! I open the door with a wide grin on my face."Hey, guys! Come on in," I greet them cheerfully, stepping back to let them into my home.As they walk in, I notice Kryl's expression change. His eyes narrow as he looks past me to the living room. My heart sinks as his eyes meet his."Lillo, who is he?" Kryl asks, his voice tight.I hesitate, not sure how to answer. "Uh, just a friend," I say, hoping to diffuse the situation.But Kryl doesn't look convinced. "A friend?" he repeats, his tone becoming more aggressive.Rowan steps in, trying to ease the tension. "Hey, man, let's not jump to conclusions. Maybe we should sit down and talk about this."Kryl nods, but I can tell he's still upset. I lead them to the living room, trying to think of what to say next.As we all sit down, Kryl turns to me. "Lillo, we've been mates for a while now. Why would you do this to

Angela's POVI pick up my phone, seeing Nikki's name flashing on the screen. "Hey, Nikki. What's going on?" I ask, wondering why she's calling me.But as soon as she starts talking, I can hear the tears in her voice. "Angela, I need to talk to you. I need to apologize for everything I've done to you in the past. I know I hurt you so badly, and I'm so sorry."I'm taken aback by her words, not sure how to respond. "Nikki, it's okay. I've forgiven you already," I say, trying to comfort her.But Nikki continues to cry, her words coming out in between sobs. "No, it's not okay. I was so jealous of you, and I took it out on you. I can't believe how blind I was. And now Marcus has betrayed me, and I have no one to turn to.""Wait, what do you mean?" I say to her, interrupting her from continuing."He's been having an affair.. with his secretary." She says, her voice barely above a whisper.My heart sinks at her words. I never would have thought that Marcus, who always seemed so devoted to Nik

Angela's POVLife has never been busier since the birth of our twins. Syrill has been so consumed with pack affairs that he hasn't been able to help much with the babies.I understand that this is supposed to be the job of our maids, but I also love to make sure my family is watched under my care. Maids can be somehow careless sometimes, especially when the whole chores in the house are left under their attendance. They can attend to those chores, while I attend to my babies. Though they help whenever I call for their assistance."Syrill, please I need your help," I plead with him as he walks into the room, after a long day of pack meetings."I'm sorry, Angela. The pack needs me," he says, with a tinge of frustration in his voice."I know the pack needs you, but I need you too. Our children need you.." I reply, my voice tinged with exhaustion."I'm doing everything I can," he says, his tone becoming more defensive."It doesn't feel like enough," I say, tears starting to prick at my ey
