Chapter: Free From Her CaptiveChapter One Hundred and Sixty-OneFree From Her CaptiveSophia's POVI sat on the filthy, cold floor of the empty building, my knees up to my chest, my arms wrapped tightly around them. My whole body ached—my legs, my back, my shoulders. Everything hurt. My head throbbed from the slap Cara had given me. My lips were parched, my belly grumbled, but I couldn't eat. I just couldn't. Not when my heart was filled with so much fear.I was tired. Tired of crying. Tired of waiting.But still. I waited.For him.Damon.Please, Damon. come.I couldn't help but replay that moment when Caleb finally handed me his phone and said, "Text him. Tell him where you are. He'll come for you."I had stared at the phone like it was a gift from heaven. I typed the message with shaky hands. And now. I waited. Again.Each sound outside made me jump. Each creak of wood. Each sigh of wind. My eyes would flicker to the door, hoping… praying… but nothing. Just shadows and silence.Caleb stood at the broken window,

Chapter: I Know You're LyingChapter One Hundred and SixtyI Know You're LyingDamon's POVI sat myself on the bedside.Staring at my phone.So many thoughts in my head. I did not eat. I did not sleep. I had not even showered. I kept waiting for a call, a text. something.It did.My phone lit up. A text was sent.From Sophia.My fingers shook as I held the phone. My heart was pounding."Damon, I'm in an old building by the river beside the nearby pack, Come. Don't tell Cara I sent this. I'm fine but scared. I need you."I stood there, I couldn’t believe it.I couldn't believe it. My chest expanded and contracted quickly. My eyes scanned the words over and over.She's alive.Sophia is alive.But… trapped?And she asked me not to tell Cara.Why?I sprang up in a flash, prepared to dash out of the room. I had to reach her. I didn't have a moment to spare.But then—The door creaked open.Cara stood in the doorway.She was smiling.Her hair was tucked neatly back, her dress perfect as ever. But I saw nothing but dark

Chapter: Glimmer Chapter 159 – A Glimmer of HopeSophia's POVThe walls that closed in around me were damp, cold, and cracked. I was on the floor in the corner of the empty room, my arms sore from having them tied behind my back for so long. My ankles were scraped and bruised. The ground was hard. The air smelled of dust, mold, and old paint. It was the kind of place you leave people to be forgotten.But I wasn't forgotten.Not yet.I hadn't eaten for a day—maybe two days. My lips were dry. My stomach growled in pain, not just hunger. But I didn't eat the food they'd brought before. I couldn't. Every bite would be like giving up. And I wasn't ready to quit.Suddenly, the door opened again.I looked up, expecting Cara to enter and taunt me for my misery. But it wasn't her.It was Caleb.He entered quietly, holding a small tray. On it was a piece of bread, a small bowl of scrambled eggs, and a bottle of water. He set it down quietly next to me, kneeling to my level."You have to eat," he said softly.I

Chapter: Trapped In DeceptionChapter 158 – Trapped in DeceptionDamon's POVThe air was thick in my study. Tension-charged. A burning heat radiated in my chest from a pain that had no reason behind it. A mixture of anger, fear, and confusion.Sophia was nowhere to be found.I had attempted. Texted. Waited.Nothing.She always kept her word. Always told me where she was going to be.But now… nothing.Lucas sat across from me, his hands flying quickly across the tablet screen. He had been quiet the last few minutes, trying to track Cara's phone. The guards we'd sent had lost Sophia. And now Cara too.I did not want to think it. I did not want to believe that Cara was involved. But every fiber of my being was screaming otherwise."Any signal?" I asked, my throat scratchy."Not yet," said Lucas. "Just another second or two. If she's got her phone on, we'll pinpoint it."Before he could finish speaking, the study door creaked open.I raised my head hastily.And there she was.Cara.Craddling the baby in her arms.My h

Chapter: SuspectChapter one hundred and fifty seven Suspect Damon's POVI waited in the study, staring at the clock.More than when she was supposed to call. I had told her to message me or call me the moment she arrived at the location Alec Davis had given her. She promised she would. I believed her. I believed she would keep herself safe.Too long. Too silence now.I picked up my phone and dialed her again.It rang once.And then twice.And then went to voicemail.I stared at the screen, my heart pounding. I tried a third time. Still nothing.A thunderous knock on the door caused me to look up."Come in," I said, attempting to sound calm.Lucas came in, holding a small tablet. I could tell from his face that something was wrong."We've got a problem, Alpha," he told me. "The guards we sent to tail Sophia… they lost her."My heart sank."Lost her?" I repeated, my voice even.What does that even mean?."She went into the building," he explained. "But she never came out. The guards stayed, maybe thi

Chapter: Trapped By CaraChapter 156 : Trapped By CaraThe streets were deserted as I walked to the destination I had been sent. It was an old street, near the town center, yet still deserted enough to make me get a bit apprehensive. I held my phone tight.And then suddenly—A heavy sound behind me.Before I could even turn, someone grabbed me hard from behind. A fist closed over my mouth. I struggled, kicked, screamed — but the rag over my mouth muffled my cry.I was pulled back, through an alley. My heart thudded so violently I thought it would burst.I caught sight of the shape of a broken-down, falling building — the windows broken, the walls cracked. My gut wrenched.They shoved me in.The air was thick with dust and mold. I was tied at the wrists. My mouth was open, my throat dry."W-What's going on?" I gasped. "Let me go!"And then I saw her.Cara.She stepped out of the darkness as if catwalking down a catwalk. Unfazed. Unapologetic. Evil.Caleb was behind her. He turned his head aside when I tried to

Falling For The Enemy Alpha
Annie always believed that finding her mate would bring her happiness. But fate had other plans. The night she was supposed to be claimed by her destined mate, he rejected her—for her own sister. The betrayal shattered her, leaving her wolf weakened and her spirit broken. With no strength left to fight, Annie was cast aside, forced to leave behind everything she once knew.
Alone and struggling without her wolf, Annie has no choice but to seek help from a neighboring pack—one that has always been at odds with her own. There, she meets Riley, the powerful and enigmatic Alpha, who takes an unexpected interest in her. From the moment he lays eyes on Annie, he feels an undeniable pull toward her, a connection so strong it shakes him to his core.
But Annie has lost all faith in mates and love. Every kind word, every lingering touch, and every stolen glance from Riley makes her heart ache with memories of the past. She refuses to be seen as a tool or a prize ever again.
Riley, however, sees beyond her pain. He doesn’t just want her because of the bond—they haven’t even confirmed it yet. He wants her for who she is, for the fire she tries so hard to hide. He wants to show her that not all mates bring pain, that love doesn’t have to be a weakness.

Chapter: He Chose MeChapter Ten : He Chose MeMy clothes messy, my body weak, but my heart—my heart was full of something I hadn’t felt in a long time.Peace.For the first time in months, I could feel her—my wolf. She was alive inside me again, breathing with me, calming me. I didn’t understand how it happened. All I knew was that when Mia mocked me, something inside me snapped. And now… she was back.But I was also scared. What did this mean for me? For Riley? For us?I hugged my knees, trying to calm the voices in my head.Then I heard him.“Annie.”His voice was soft, almost broken. I looked up and there he was, standing there, breathless. His eyes found mine and they widened with something I couldn’t name.“Annie,” he whispered again, rushing to my side.He knelt in front of me, gently touching my face, his hand shaking a little.“You found her,” he said, brushing a tear from my cheek. “You got your wolf back.”I couldn’t speak. I just nodded. My lips trembled, and before I knew it, he pulled me int

Chapter: She woke up Chapter Nine : She Woke UpI strolled slowly, the soft breeze stroking my skin. My thoughts were elsewhere. Training went well, but my heart was filled with darkness. Since Riley's parents arrived, I couldn't breathe peacefully. They didn't like me. I knew that from their eyes. I overheard that from their voice.They brought Mia with them. She was just the opposite of me. Pretty. Self-assured. Alpha-blooded. And to top it off, she let me know that I didn't fit in.I'd barely got out of the garden when I saw her there. Mia. Her arms crossed and a smug expression pasted on her face that my stomach growled over.I walked around and pretended like I hadn't noticed her.“Running away again?" she bellowed. Her voice was cold. Harsh. "Maybe that's all you know how to do. Running and lying."I stood stock still for a moment, clenching my teeth. I didn't want to give her the pleasure of an answer. But my hands were shaking.She moved closer. "I heard Riley made you get dressed up in a little d

Chapter: The MeetingChapter 8: The MeetingAnnie’s Pov I sat alone in the room, my heart pounding in my chest. The outfit Riley had picked for me felt too tight, too revealing. I tugged at the hem, trying to cover myself, but it only made things worse. What if they didn’t like me? What if I wasn’t good enough for him? Riley had told me that his parents would be coming, but he hadn’t told me much else.The door opened, and Riley stepped in. He looked at me for a moment, his eyes soft but unreadable. “You look… beautiful,” he said, though I could see the worry in his eyes. It made my stomach twist with unease.“I’m scared,” I admitted, my voice barely a whisper.He came closer, his hand brushing mine in an attempt to comfort me. “Don’t worry, Annie. Everything will be fine. Just be yourself.”But how could I? I wasn’t just someone’s daughter. I wasn’t from this pack, and I wasn’t some alpha’s heir. I was just… a warrior. I had no place here. I didn’t belong.Riley kissed the top of my head lightly, as if

Chapter: The FearChapter Seven : The FearAnnie’s POV:I couldn’t breathe. I stood frozen in place, staring at the cloth Riley handed me. My hands shook as I touched it, feeling how thin it was. It didn’t cover much. It was… exposing.“Why do I have to wear this?” I whispered, my voice barely above a breath. My heart was pounding so hard I thought it might burst.Riley didn’t answer right away. He just looked at me, his face serious, almost distant. It hurt to see him like this. He’d never acted like this before.“Because my parents are coming,” he said, his tone soft but firm. “And… they don’t know about you. Don’t talk about your past. Just… wear it.”I shook my head, confusion and fear swirling in my chest. “Why?” I asked again, the question choking me. “Why should I hide who I am? Why should I lie to them?”He stepped closer to me, so close I could feel his warmth. But his eyes were far away, like he was thinking about something else, somewhere else. He reached out and gently cupped my face, his t

Chapter: The Fight For My Wolf Chapter 6– Annie’s POVThe Fight For My Wolf I paced back and forth in my room, hands clenched into fists at my sides. The feeling of emptiness gnawed at my chest, the sharp, aching hollowness where my wolf used to be. It had been weeks, months even, since I’d last heard her voice in my mind, since I’d last felt the pulse of her energy coursing through my veins.Why couldn’t I get her back?I slammed my fist into the wall, the pain only a fleeting distraction from the storm in my mind. Every part of me wanted to scream. I needed to feel whole again, to reclaim the power that was rightfully mine. I couldn’t just sit here, waiting for something to change.I wanted my wolf back.I collapsed onto the bed, breathing heavily, trying to calm the wild thoughts swirling in my head. But they only spun faster. The feeling of betrayal—by Caleb, by my pack—how everything had turned to dust. How I had failed.I slammed my fist into the pillow.Come on, Annie. Just focus. Fight. You’ve fought befor

Chapter: Decision RegrettedChapter 5 – Caleb’s POVThe packhouse had never felt this empty.Celeste had been living here for weeks, waiting for our mating ceremony, but instead of feeling excited, I felt… nothing.No connection. No bond. Just regret.I sat in my office, staring at the papers on my desk, but I wasn’t reading them. My mind kept drifting back—to her.To Annie.She should have been the one sitting here, not Celeste.I clenched my fists. Why did I only realize it now?Celeste’s laughter rang from the hallway, high-pitched and fake. She was probably showing off again.She spent her days wandering the packhouse, admiring the luxury, touching things like they belonged to her already. It was never about me. It was never about the pack.It was about the title.She wanted to be Luna.That’s what mattered to her.And I had been stupid enough to think she was the better choice.The Truth Hits HardA knock came at my office door, and before I could answer, Celeste walked in.She always walked in without perm
