ALPHA LUKE's POV"I love you, Luke," she smiled between kisses, resting her head on my chest."I love you too, Ava," I replied tenderly, enveloping her in a warm embrace. Our hearts beat in perfect harmony, as if they were made for each other.Ava traced gentle circles on my chest with the tips of her fingers, while I caressed her silky hair. The forest was peaceful, and the sunlight illuminated the sky alongside the blue clouds, creating an intimate and welcoming scene.Our eyes met, and the world around us seemed to disappear. She had that sparkle in her eyes, the same sparkle that had captivated me from the moment we met. Her smile was like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day."Try to catch me, Luke!" Ava smiled, running toward the trees, playing and challenging me. Her laughter echoed through the forest as I pursued her through the woods.She was fast, agile like a gazelle, and I had difficulty keeping up with her. The trees passed by as blurs around me as I tried to reach her. Ever

**POV Lily**The door opened slowly, revealing a scene that left me in shock. Olivia was wrapped in a white sheet, emerging from the Alpha's room. Her challenging gaze and mocking smile on her lips further bewildered me. I stood there, frozen, as I saw Olivia naked, hastily covering herself with the sheet. The surprise rendered me momentarily speechless, making it hard to grasp what was happening."What are you doing in the Alpha's room?" I swallowed nervously.I knew I would regret asking that question bitterly. Olivia, on the other hand, shot me a sarcastic look and seized the opportunity to taunt me, making cruel insinuations that struck a blow to my self-esteem."Oh, my dear Lily, you have no idea what you're missing. The Alpha invited me to spend the night with him. It seems he finally realized how insignificant you are."I felt my face flush with shame and anger. I couldn't believe Olivia's words. Furthermore, I felt humiliated and betrayed, but was also determined not to let he

*POV Lily**I was wrapped in a sheet, trying to distance myself from everything, but Jennie's words continued to haunt me. She was concerned; I could see it in her eyes, but I didn't want to tell the truth, not yet. All I wished for was a little peace and quiet."Please, Lily, eat something," Jennie insisted, offering me a piece of cake.My hands trembled as I took the cake, but they shook even more as I brought the fork to my mouth. I swallowed it with difficulty and set the fork aside. "I'm not hungry," I replied, my head hanging low.Jennie didn't give up, concerned about my condition. "I'm worried about you. It's getting dark, and you refuse to eat. Johanna said you were sick, and you won't tell me what happened in the Alpha's room."I couldn't contain my emotions any longer. Tears streamed down my face, staining the white sheet. "Nothing happened, Jennie. Please, let me sleep!" I complained, burying my head under a pillow, trying to muffle the sound of her words.Jennie wouldn't

A few years ago...~~ my dark past~~"Please, don't do this to him, he's your son!" the woman pleaded on her knees, but the man shoved her forcefully against the wall."You're spoiling this brat. Never dare to repeat that this boy is my son! A weak boy like him could never be an alpha's son. You must have betrayed me, you bitch!" the man shouted angrily, punching the woman in the mouth, causing her lips to bleed."But it's true... he is your son," she whispered, her eyes welling up with tears."Shut up, you whore! I'm the leader of this pack. This boy couldn't possibly have my blood, and today, I'll prove it!" he said furiously.The boy cowered behind a tree, full of fear and distress, his entire body trembling with cold. Meanwhile, the man, who was supposed to be his father, hunted him like an easy prey."Come here, you damn kid! It's time you became a real man!" the father appeared, dragging him by his shirt toward a blazing fire.Dragging him by the shirt toward the intense fire tha

**POV Olivia**Olivia's room was in chaos. She was tossing her clothes around the room, frustrated and angry."I can't believe this is happening!" Olivia screamed in frustration."Calm down, Olivia, you might be overreacting," Clara said, picking up the clothes Olivia was throwing on the floor.The maid cowered in the corner of the room as Olivia continued to behave like a spoiled child, breaking and tearing everything in her path. Clara signaled for the servants to leave and wait outside while she attempted to prevent Olivia from destroying her clothes once again."Everything I did was pointless, Clara. I heard with my own ears that they slept together!" Olivia shouted, exasperated."I don't understand how this could happen. There were rumors that the slave was in love with the Alpha's son from her previous pack," Clara said, suspicious."Lily is sly and deceitful. She deceived all of us!" Olivia said, full of hatred, her teeth clenched.Clara approached her friend, urging her to tak
