Zelda’s POVIt was a brand-new day. After putting August to sleep, I headed to the farmland of the packhouse to join the other servants in their work. It was a routine for me, and I found solace in the simplicity of the tasks. The sun was high in the sky, casting its warm rays upon us as we toiled away."I heard the Alpha and his bride don't get along," one of the servants gossiped."Yeah, I think..." I interrupted them."Stop gossiping and do your fucking jobs," I reprimanded, prompting them to glare at me and keep their mouths shut.A guard approached me, interrupting our work. "Ms. Zelda, the Alpha and his mate would like to invite you to join them for breakfast," he informed me. I was taken aback by the invitation. Alpha Nathan and Tracy always ate alone, so it was unusual for them to include me. My mind raced with thoughts and questions as I followed the guard to the dining room.As I entered the room, I noticed the intimate setting. Alpha Nathan and Tracy were seated close to ea
Tracy’s POVAfter Zelda left, anger surged through my veins like molten lava. How dare she spout such lies about Alpha Nathan? I couldn't let her tarnish our chance at happiness. The maids around me trembled nervously, sensing the tension thickening in the room."Pour the water on me," I commanded sharply, my frustration seeping into my voice. The maids hurriedly complied, dipping their hands into the water and splashing it over my body. They were clearly on edge, fully aware of the potential consequences of Zelda's words.As the cool water cascaded over me, I scolded them, my words carrying a warning. "None of you will utter a single word about what Zelda said. If anyone betrays my trust, you will face severe consequences."Their voices quivered as they chorused their agreement, their fear palpable in the air. But amidst their compliance, one of the maids stood defiantly, her eyes blazing with stubborn resolve. I locked eyes with her, my patience waning rapidly."You will say it," I

I had become a prisoner of this twisted dynamic, enduring the pain and humiliation in the hope that someday, somehow, I would find a way to escape.But for now, I will endure, my spirit battered but unbroken. I made my way to the bed, sat with my legs wide open, and put my hands above my head. He approached the bed, held my hands, and began binding them to the bed. He then shoved a gag into my mouth, saying, "You naughty slut," as he lightly hit my face. He leaned in and kissed my face before inserting a butt plug into my vagina.Next, he pulled out a long black leather strap and began striking my naked body with the soft leather, peppering my breasts, stomach, thighs, and backside with slaps. My skin turned crimson from the abuse, and I winced and screamed silently through the
Alpha Apollo’s POVI woke up in my bed, groaning as I sat up, feeling the throbbing in my head. I had been up all-night partying and smoking, and now I was paying the price. Glancing to my side, I saw a woman lying next to me, one of the slaves my father had given me. Surprisingly, my wolf didn't stir with the usual desire to kill her. I sighed, realizing I wasn't in the mood for this.I gently stroked my forehead, trying to ease the pounding headache. "Hey, you," I muttered, tapping the woman on her bare butt. "Time to go."She looked up at me, a hint of a smile on her face. "Good morning, Alpha," she greeted politely.I grunted in response, not in the mood for small talk. "Just leave," I snapped, my voice rough with irritation. She gathered her clothes and hurriedly left the room.With a sigh of relief, I made my way to the bathroom. As an alpha, I preferred to handle things myself in my room, but the maids would come to clean up once I was done. I heard a knock on my door, interrup
Alpha Ryder’s POV In the morning, I found myself in the sugar factory of my pack, observing the employees diligently carrying out their tasks. It was essential to ensure that everything ran smoothly, that the workers were doing their jobs efficiently. The familiar scent of molasses filled the air, mingling with the rhythmic sounds of machinery in motion.Just as I was about to check on a particularly intricate process, Carter approached me in the factory. His presence interrupted my focus, but I welcomed the distraction, hoping he had news about Zelda."Alpha Ryder," Carter greeted respectfully, his expression a mix of concern and determination. "Have you found anything about Zelda?"I sighed, my heart heavy with worry. "I've searched online, and we've sent search parties around the pack. But so far, no one has found her. She's not in our pack."Restlessness gnawed at my soul, preventing me from finding solace until I knew Zelda was safe. I ran a hand through my hair, feeling the wei
Zelda’s POV I carefully bathed August, in the warm embrace of the bathroom. Water droplets dropped down his tiny body as he kicked his feet, filling the room with his playful giggles. A tender smile graced my lips, momentarily pushing aside the worries that plagued my mind. August's blue eyes reminded me of Apollo. The man I believed had manipulated the DNA results just to continue his reckless ways. But in this intimate moment, it was just me and my sweet boy, finding comfort in each other's presence.A knock on the main door shattered the peacefulness of the night, jolting me from my thoughts.Startled, I scooped up August, his cries blending with the racing beat of my heart.

Confusion and a hint of fear swirled within me as I wonde
Alpha Apollo’s POVI was sitting in my father's office, surrounded by a mountain of paperwork that seemed never-ending. It was my first day as the alpha, and I felt the weight of responsibility heavy on my shoulders. Seth stood by my side, explaining the pack's budget and discussing the necessary steps to ensure the well-being of our pack members.I rubbed my temples, feeling the exhaustion seep into my bones. The maids came in, one after another, offering me coffee and food to keep me going. I appreciated their efforts, but I was too focused on the paperwork to pay much attention.Amidst the organized chaos, a familiar voice broke through the background noise. I glanced up, irritation tugging at the corners of my lips, as a woman stepped into the office. She clutched a cup of coffee in her hands, waiting for my permission.Without sparing her a glance, I dismissed her curtly. "Just leave it on the desk and go," I said, assuming it was one of the maids. But then she said those words t

I needed to comfort them, assure them that I would do whatever it took to find their missing daughters and sisters. But their voices were filled with doubt, and it seemed as though hope was slipping through their fingers.One woman's voice rose above the others, her despair evident. "Alpha Ryder, you won't find them. They're gone forever."Her words pierced my heart, but I couldn't let despair consume me. I had to act, to instill hope in their shattered souls. I turned to Carter.
