Chapter: Chapter 129 Aurelia's Point Of ViewI took a deep breath, my heart heavy with the burden of forgiveness and reconciliation. "Dante," I began, "I know that Vivian was involved in what happened to me, and I can't deny the pain and betrayal I felt. But I also know that she was manipulated by Genevieve, just as I was."Dante regarded me with a mixture of pride and concern. "Aurelia, forgiveness is a noble path, but it's not always easy. Are you sure this is what you want?"I nodded firmly, my resolve unwavering. "Yes, Dante. I believe that forgiveness can heal wounds and strengthen bonds. Vivian was once a dear friend, and I want to offer her a chance to make amends. Maybe, in doing so, we can rebuild the trust we once shared."Dante's expression softened, and he gently squeezed my shoulder. "You have a compassionate heart, my love. If that is your wish, then we shall go to Vivian and extend our forgiveness."Tears of gratitude welled up in my eyes as I embraced my mate. It was a step toward healing

Chapter: Chapter 128Danciana's Point Of View I found myself standing at the edge of the dense forest, hidden in the cloak of shadows, my heart racing like a wild stallion. The tantalizing whispers of intrigue had reached my ears, carried by the winds of gossip that blew through our pack like a tempest. Alpha Augustine, the unyielding leader of the neighboring pack, had issued an ominous decree—the arrest of Genevieve, Aurelia's stepmother. I couldn't simply ignore the electric curiosity that surged through me. I had to know every detail of what was transpiring.With each cautious step, I ventured further into the foreign territory that belonged to our neighboring pack. The scent of unknown wolves hung heavy in the air, a strange and potent mixture with the familiar earthy aroma of the woods. It wasn't long before the clearing came into view, a bustling hub of activity teeming with pack members.My keen eyes roved through the crowd, searching for the familiar faces of my own pack mates. I approached Ezra

Chapter: Chapter 127Bryan's Point of viewI couldn't believe my eyes. Was that Aurelia? I thought she was dead. So, Genevieve only lied to me. This was unfair. How could I have believed her? I neglected my own daughter so much, and now I feel like the worst father in the world. I felt like I let my own daughter down. I felt like I had ignored her when she needed me the most.My heart pounded in my chest as I walked up to my daughter, each step heavy with the weight of regret and longing."Aurelia," I called out, my voice choked with emotion.She turned towards me, her eyes widening in disbelief, and then she rushed into my arms, embracing me with a warmth that washed away the years of guilt and sorrow. "Father. I missed you so much," she whispered, tears streaming down her cheeks."I'm so sorry, Aurelia," I whispered back, my own tears mixing with hers. "I'm so sorry for neglecting you. I should have watched over you and taken care of you. It's all my fault. I thought I lost you.""You didn't lose me, Da

Chapter: Chapter 126Genevieve's Point Of ViewI knew I was my own downfall, and no matter what I did, Alpha Augustine would still punish me. All I could do now was to plead with my stepdaughter Aurelia for kidnapping her and trying to kill her. I could be locked up for more than twenty years in a dungeon for my crimes. And I was scared to death that my mate Bryan may find out about Casey being my daughter, which no one knows for the past twenty-three years of her life.As I scanned the crowd, my heart sank as I saw Bryan join the gathering, his eyes filled with concern and curiosity. Panic surged within me, knowing that his presence might unearth the dark secret I had harbored for so long. The thought of losing him, the only source of solace in my turbulent life, was unbearable.Summoning every ounce of courage I had left, I rushed towards Aurelia, my knees hitting the ground hard as I knelt before her, tears streaming down my face. "Aurelia, please," I begged, my voice trembling with desperation. "I'm s

Chapter: Chapter 125Aurelia's Point Of View:I sat down in my small, dimly lit room, engrossed in the pages of a thrilling novel. The world within the book offered a brief escape from the harsh reality I had been living through. Angela, my loyal and compassionate friend, walked in, her footsteps barely making a sound on the creaky wooden floor. She cleared her throat gently, breaking the silence that enveloped me."Hey, Aurelia," Angela said softly, concern etched into her features. "How are you holding up?"I closed the book and looked up at her, offering a faint but grateful smile. "I'm doing as well as I can, Angela. Thanks to you, I'm safe now."Angela's eyes softened, and she shook her head. "You don't have to thank me, Aurelia. I couldn't let them take you."I nodded, my heart swelling with gratitude for my friend's unwavering support. "I know, but I still appreciate everything you've done for me."Curiosity danced in Angela's eyes as she pulled up a chair and sat down beside me. "So, what's your n

Chapter: Chapter 124Genevieve's Point Of ViewI was in my car, parked inconspicuously at our usual meeting spot, waiting for Casey. The cold air inside the car did little to alleviate the growing unease in my chest. Each passing second felt like an eternity, and my impatience was getting the best of me.Finally, the car door swung open, and Casey slipped into the passenger seat. Her face was a mosaic of emotions - anxiety, relief, and something else I couldn't quite place. I couldn't hide my irritation as I turned to her, my fingers tapping impatiently on the steering wheel."What took you so long, Casey?" I snapped, my tone sharp and accusatory.Casey's eyes darted around nervously, her lips trembling. "I'm sorry, Genevieve," she stammered, her voice quivering. "I... I couldn't find Vivian at our usual meeting spot."My heart skipped a beat, and a shiver of fear raced down my spine. Panic began to well up within me as I asked, "Are you absolutely sure? Did she say anything about us?"Casey's voice remai

Chapter: Chapter 208CHAPTER 208-Epilogue ***Scarlett's POV*** Five months had passed and I hadn't been so happy as I was now, it was like a dream come true for me. I was finally pregnant with the future Alpha, yes you heard me. I was expecting a girl but was given a boy, a strong male wolf. I dreamt about it. He was handsome and a replica of my Xavier. I smiled as I rubbed my baby bump, my stomach was quite bloated, it looked like I was going to deliver at any minute because my stomach was so big. I chuckled at my thoughts and I had the sudden urge to eat. "I'm hungry" I mouthed and stared down at my big baby bump. "Did anyone mention food?" I heard Xavier's voice and couldn't stop myself from laughing. These few months have been so much fun and enjoyment, Xavier wasn't just different but funnier. He did a lot of things to make me laugh, it was evident that he loved his child very much. " I did" I snickered and looked at him, he was holding a tray in his hand. I frown in disagreement, thi

Chapter: Chapter 207CHAPTER 207 ***Scarlett's POV***Two months later.I could hear voices everyday, though I tried to move and respond but it was hard for me and I didn't know why. I heard Xavier's voice and he always had a sad tone, telling me to wake up but I tried to tell him that I couldn't but it was impossible to talk or move. Moved my limbs in my head but I couldn't move them physically, it was all in my head. I didn't feel any pain on my body, I just felt numb or rather dead. "She has not woken up, it's been two fucking months and she hasn't responded to anything" I heard Xavier's voice, he sounded like he was sobbing. 'Don't cry, I will try harder to open my eyes' "What If she stays like this forever, what's going to happen to us, our lives?" Xavier broke into tears. "She's going to wake up and it will happen soon, fretting won't help anyone" Arnold replied and patted his shoulder loudly. "Scarlett is a fighter, she would get out of this" I couldn't hear anything else except footsteps.

Chapter: Chapter 206***Author's POV***Scarlett vomited the little she had eaten, it left her stomach empty. The door suddenly opened and she flushed. "Hey" Xavier called softly and held both sides of her waist. "Are you okay?" Scarlett moved closer to the sink and washed her face. "I don't know" She slightly shrugged and faced him with a little expression of discomfort on her face. "Should I call the doctors?" "N-no need for you to do that, I think it's the junk I have been eating for the past weeks' ' Scarlett sighed and her lips curled into a smile. "I know that look, stop feeling guilty because I am fine and we will soon be happy without any obstacles, without Cassandra" The mention of her name made Scarlett extremely nervous especially when it came from her own mouth, it made her lips tremble, she shouldn't feel afraid but Cassandra scares her, but she can hear the voice of her wolf telling her, she would be victorious. "I feel more nauseous being in here" Scarlett frowned slightly as she fel

Chapter: Chapter 205***Author's POV***Cassandra spouted out blood but she instantly vanished. Lisa and Scarlett were shocked. Xavier's wolf growled and stared at his fangs, the blood had totally vanished as well. Xavier turned to stare at Scarlett who simply smiled at his wolf. 'I am sorry for all I did to you, forgive me' He apologised through the mind link. 'You didn't do anything wrong, you were just blinded by your rage because you thought I had betrayed you' Scarlett responded and smiled at his wolf. Lisa stared at both of them and knew the lovers were communicating through mind links. "Alright, I don't know where Cassandra must have gone but I have to find Jamie… I will leave you both" Lisa giggled and left from there. *****Lisa went to the garden and his scent was stronger showing that he is near. "Jamie" Lisa smiled, Jamie faced her and spread his arms. Lisa chuckled and ran into his arms. He wrapped his hands around her and hugged her tightly. "How did it go in there?" Jamie asked wi

Chapter: Chapter 204***Author's POV***"Lisa…" "Is it really you?" Scarlett asked because she was shocked to see her. "Yes it's me, your baby Lisa" Lisa smiled with teary eyes. "Lisa" Scarlett cried and they embraced tightly. "Lisa, where have you been?" "It's a long story" Lisa muttered and tightened the hug, she missed Scarlett a whole lot. Scarlett didn't stop asking her questions, they decided to settle down on the ground and talk about everything. Scarlett asked Lisa about her whereabouts and the revelation shocked her. "W–what are you saying?" Scarlett stuttered in shock. "I'm telling the truth, that woman isn't Elora, I think she is Cassandra because that name was inscribed on her sword… " Scarlett's eyes widened the more in shock, a loud gasp escaped from her lips. She had to cover her mouth with her palms. "She stabbed me with a sword when I found out about her true identity, I almost died but my mate saved me" Lisa explained and smiled while recalling Jamie.

Chapter: Chapter 203***Author's POV***Scarlett held her head in pain, she had this headache that was stopping her from opening her eyes, the cold she felt on her skin was making her shudder and become reluctant to see the new and awful world which she was back in. Scarlett inhaled and exhaled sharply, slowly and steadily she opened her eyes but it looked like she was still stuck in darkness, there was nothing visible to her apart from the darkness, it looked so thick like she could cut out a piece of it. It was like a dark cloud which she was entrapped in."Where am I?" Scarlett asked herself and gazed around the thick and dark room. She attempted standing but to her realisation, she's in chains not just any chain but silver, she could now feel the metal burning through her skin, it was scorching. Scarlett couldn't help but scream out of her unconscious state. "Aaahh!!!" Scarlett screamed and sat up instantly, she was breathing heavily. Her heart was thumping within her chest. Scarlett stared at he

Chapter: Chapter 5 Zarlia’s POV"He still has the guts to bring Letisha into this house and have her sleep in the same room with him," I murmured as I brushed my teeth. I had to be early for work on my first day, so I did my best to avoid a brawl with Romero. I'd slept on the couch, making sure to use my earmuffs so I wouldn't hear any sounds from their room."Where are you off to this early?" Romero queried as I came into the room to get my clothes. I wouldn't respond to him, not to someone who would disrespect me enough to bring another woman to sleep in our bed."Aren't you the one I was talking to?" Romero challenged, standing up."And how is it supposed to be your business?" I retorted, looking him straight in the eye before glaring at Letisha and leaving the room hastily. I was already running late, and I wasn't going to let my unfortunate boyfriend give me a bad record on my first day of work.——————————"Hi, you must be Zarlia, right?" A young man in a blue tuxedo and neatly ironed pants, broad-

Chapter: Chapter 4Zarlia’s POV “I saw you crying from upstairs, and i was immediately worried, Stetson muttered gently cuddling my hair “Please don’t hurt me again” i said softly. Stetson’s eyes widened in shock, “Hurt you?” He chirped quickly. “Yes, see” i responded, showing him my neck where he had bitten. “I can explain” he hollered, holding my hands and peering sternly into my eyes. “How about i take you out for dinner” he offered quickly, trying to grasp the opportunity. “No, i’ll go home now” Zarlia retorted, disentangling herself from him, i could literally hear his heart beating fast as we hugged, i knew what it felt like to be loved, Romero had always made sure of that, but somehow this felt different. He didn’t have to say it but i felt it, i felt his heart lunging for me. I loved it, it felt like he could immediately fill in the void from Romero and my alleged Family, but i didn’t want him to have it easy, i wouldn’t just blow off the weird start. ———— I was a

Chapter: Chapter 3 ZARLIA’s POVI tried to forget everything that had happened that morning, but Stetson's eyes and his fangs lingered in my thoughts. I'd never seen anything like it before, but I was even more bothered by the comfort I'd felt with him."Miss Zarlia, it's your turn to be interviewed. Please go into the office," the lady announcing the applicants called out. A blushing woman who had just finished with her interview, walked out of the room."Thank you," I replied.I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves. I knew I desperately needed this job. I needed to prove to everyone that I could survive, that I could do better for myself.I was about to open the door when I heard a feminine voice from inside the room. "Sir, you're leaving? Don't you want to interview the next person?" the voice asked.There was no reply. I knocked and opened the door when I heard, "Please, come in," from the lady inside.As I entered, I saw a tall figure walking out of the room through another door. I felt a

Chapter: Chapter 2STETSON’S POV"Hey man, we'll be heading to our rooms," Joseph hollered, patting my shoulder.I and my friends had planned a hangout. It had been a while since we'd all properly bonded, after going our separate ways and trying to find our own paths. I grinned at Joseph. He'd brought his girlfriend, just like everyone else. But his girl was the most beautiful. Her dark, long hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, and her almond-shaped eyes sparkled as she smiled. It was obvious Joseph was really proud of her.Everyone, including Stacy, my date (as everyone was asked to bring one), had gone upstairs to their private rooms. But I wanted to stay a bit longer. The evening was going fine. I sat on my chair, sipping my drink and reminiscing about the stories my friends had shared. But then I started to feel weird, like the bar was rotating.“ But I haven't drunk that much”, I mumbled under my breath as I stood to go to my room. I had planned to go up much later, after Stacy had fall

Chapter: Chapter 1 ZARLIA’s POV ""Zarlia, hurry up and come over to wash these dishes!" Manager Leo yelled, making me sigh unhappily. My face fell. Why would Letisha tell such a lie? I shrugged, mumbling under my breath. All the restaurant's cleaning had been dumped on me because Letisha had called in sick – again. She was pulling one of her usual stunts. I hated Letisha, but I had no choice but to do the work without complaining. The manager clearly favored her, and this job was my only source of income. I just hoped and prayed my application to the Stetson Empire was accepted this time. Just then, my phone pinged. I snatched it up and tapped the message. "Thanks for your application to Stetson Empire. We are impressed by your background and would like to invite you to interview." "Oh myyyyy…" I screamed, immediately stifling my excitement so I wouldn't draw attention to myself. "Yes!" I dropped the napkin I was using to clean the table, a happy smile blossoming on my face. Finally, I could leav
