LOGINHermione Averoff, at twenty-nine, has given up her dream of finding her fated mate. She focuses instead on training in warfare with her twin, Alpha Zephyrus. They have only one mission. To conquer their motherland, Lucania and overpower the enemy, the Whiteridge Pack. After twenty years, they successfully reclaim their Luceres Pack and land, but Hermione, popularly called Hera, isn’t happy. Seeing her twin, Zephyrus, find his mate, Hera’s heart shatters but only momentarily. Soon she is captured by a feral wolf, Felixe Andreadis, the Gamma of the Whiteridge Pack. What can be worse than finding out that her ruthless captor is her fated mate? Felixe Andreadis has everything: power, wealth, a successful business, but no family. His only mission in life is to kill Alpha Zephyrus, to avenge the death of his family. Unable to do so, he captures Hermoine instead and holds her captive. Can he take his revenge on her when the forbidden attraction between them is fiery and undeniable? Can Felixe’s feral aura deny the mate-bond between them? Will he still punish Hera in the worst way possible?

"You'll pay for your father's betrayal," he sneered, his grip tightening around my wrists as he secured them to the bed.
"Let me go!" I pleaded, desperation creeping into my voice as I thrashed against the restraints, but his hold remained unyielding.
"Everyone, leave," he commanded with a snap of his fingers, and the room emptied, leaving me alone with my captor. I strained to catch a glimpse of the person approaching me, my heart pounding with dread at what was to come.
(Before the Incident)
My evening had started innocently enough, just hanging out with my best friend Brenda as we often did. We ended up at a club, where I indulged in one too many drinks, losing myself in the music and the buzz of alcohol.
Brenda cheered me on as I danced, her encouragement fueling my uninhibited movements. But as the night wore on, the effects of the alcohol began to overwhelm me, and I stumbled towards the bathroom.
After easing myself, I went towards the mirror to rinse my hands. I looked at myself in the mirror, laughing and admiring myself.
“You look beautiful, damsel,” I laughed again, talking to myself in the mirror. I was startled to see someone standing behind me. I tried not to move my body and immediately rinsed my face.
“I'm dreaming, right?” I stepped away from the running water, looking at the mirror again, and a huge guy stood there.
After composing myself in front of the mirror, I was surprised to find the large man still standing behind me.
I turned to him aggressively.
He could see I was drunk, he stood still and didn't utter a word at all. “Come on, leave, get out!” I yelled at him.
“Don't you see the symbol?” I hit his chest, talking tipsy, ready to fight.
Despite my inebriation, I instinctively bristled at his presence, warning him to leave. But before I could react further, he subdued me with a cloth soaked in a potent substance, rendering me helpless.
The next thing I knew, I was being ushered into a room, my senses dulled and my vision blurred.
(Back to the Incident)
A masked figure approached me, his menacing presence sending a shiver down my spine. He took off his shirt, exposing his abs and attractive muscles. I was still pleading for mercy when he went towards a desk, bringing out a whip, his intention clear as he began to strike me mercilessly.
"This is for your father's betrayal," he taunted, each lash stinging like fire against my skin. I struggled fruitlessly against the onslaught, the pain overwhelming.
Look at me, go and ask your father what deal he made,” he added more lashes all over my body.
He descended on me like a demon and started the action with me, slapping me, giving me all sorts of pains.
He ripped off my cloth, making me lay naked, I screamed out in pain.
“Let go of me,” he spat on my face, slapping me.
“No one goes out of a deal,” he blew something on my face, and I was finally tipsy and drugged at that moment.
Suddenly, a call came on his phone, he grabbed it walking away from me.
At that moment I tried my best to release myself but everything was abortive, then the door flared open. This time around it was another figure that appeared.
A very drunk guy walked inside the room, coming towards me, he was enticed by my body taking off his clothes, and coming towards me.
I tried to butt his shoulder, then I sighted an ugly birthmark on his body, which irritated me.
I couldn't control myself anymore due to the fact I was drugged; all I knew was that I was knocked out.
He then forced himself upon me, assaulting me in ways too horrific to recount. My pleas for mercy fell on deaf ears as he violated me with cruel abandon, leaving me broken and defenseless. In my vulnerable state, I could do little to resist as he took advantage of my plight, adding to the nightmare that had become my reality.
*****
As I slowly regained consciousness, the rhythmic beeping of the hospital machines pierced through the fog of my mind. Blinking against the harsh fluorescent lights, I surveyed the sterile surroundings, my senses slowly coming back to life. The arrival of the doctor, a file in hand, confirmed my suspicions, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of anxiety at the unknown.
"You're awake," he greeted me with a gentle smile, his voice a soothing balm amidst the clinical atmosphere.
"Yes, I am. What's going on?" I inquired, my voice tinged with uncertainty as I removed the syringe from my hand, its presence a stark reminder of my current predicament.
"We need to confirm a few things, but it seems you'll be discharged today. Are you experiencing any pain in your leg?" he asked, his tone reassuring as he checked my vital signs.
“My... leg?” I echoed, puzzled by his question, my mind racing to fill in the gaps in my memory.
“You were brought here unconscious by some passersby who found you on the roadside,” he explained, prompting a rush of memories to flood back, the pieces of the puzzle slowly falling into place.
The horrific events of the previous day came rushing back to me in vivid detail, each recollection sending a shiver down my spine. Determined to leave this place and confront the truth, I attempted to rise from the bed, only to wince in pain as I tested my injured leg.
“I need to see my father,” I declared urgently, my heart pounding with a sense of urgency that bordered on desperation.
“Please, you need to calm down and focus on your recovery,” the doctor urged, his voice gentle but firm as he attempted to assuage my fears.
“Our nurse will come and give you your final medication,” he added, before excusing himself and leaving me alone with my tumultuous thoughts.
“I wonder where Brenda is,” I muttered to myself, longing for the comforting presence of my friend in this moment of uncertainty.
Just then, the door swung open, and Brenda stepped into the room, her expression a mix of concern and relief as she approached my bedside.
“Are you okay?” she asked, her voice tinged with genuine worry as she took in my condition.
“I'm... I'm not sure,” I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper as I struggled to process everything that had transpired.
“Here, I cooked for you,” Brenda offered, producing a flask from her bag, a gesture of comfort in the midst of chaos.
“I can't,” I replied, my appetite nonexistent in the face of overwhelming uncertainty.
“What's going on?” she pressed, her concern deepening as she sensed my distress.
“There's... there's a lot happening. I'm worried about my dad. Do you have my phone?” I asked, desperation creeping into my voice as I searched for a lifeline to the outside world.
“No, I'm sorry. I couldn't find it. I just followed the ambulance here,” Brenda replied, her voice tinged with frustration.
“I need to leave this place,” I insisted, my mind racing with a thousand unanswered questions.
“Okay, okay. Let's just calm down, finish your treatment, and then we can figure out our next steps,” Brenda suggested, her voice a steady anchor in the storm of uncertainty.
Nodding in reluctant agreement, I accepted the flask of food she offered, finding solace in her unwavering support amidst the chaos.
A few minutes later, the nurse arrived with medication in hand, her reassuring smile offering a glimmer of hope amidst the uncertainty that gripped me. As she administered the final dose, I braced my
self for the journey ahead, knowing that whatever lay in store, Brenda would be by my side every step of the way.
Hera’s POV I closed my eyes and lay down in my bedroom, listening to everyone enjoying the outside. My birthday celebrations have been the most enjoyable ones so far. Felixe had made arrangements to celebrate Zephyrus’s birthday too, in the same grand style as mine. His cake differed from mine and so were his treats. In fact, he received more gifts than I did! After the cake cutting, I could hardly stand straight. The pain in my pelvic region spread all over my lower abdomen and they carried me to my bedroom. I tried hard to sleep, but the pain started getting worse. Felixe had gone out to get a doctor since mine wasn’t taking his call. “Try deep breathing, Hera! Felixe will bring the doctor over soon. I think you’ll deliver tonight,” said Ebony, stroking my hair off my face. Even Hazel sat with me, trying to relieve the pain with the compress. This time nothing was working! I felt like I was dying! “I’m scared, Ebony. Please, I don’t want to die!” Tears pricked at my eyes and st
Hera’s POV The next two days we all spent together, bonding and enjoying ourselves. Being with everyone made me forget my fear of delivery. Despite the chaos all around, it was Felixe who was always there to support me, to help me. He took a couple of days off from work to bond with all of us. I was indeed indebted to him. Finally, it was my birthday, and the wishes and gifts kept pouring in right from the morning. Lyra might have spoken to Felixe about her predicament since she accompanied him to the office last morning. I could feel Leandros going into a shell day by day. It was obvious he needed help, but it was his own battle. He had to seek help from Zeph or Felixe. I couldn’t interfere in his matters. “Hera, come on, let’s go for a stroll!” said Hazel, walking into my room. With the celebration scheduled in the evening, I was trying to save some energy for the event. “No, Hazel. I’m feeling a little pain in my pelvic area every time I walk. Maybe I should rest a little now
Hera’s POV Tears of happiness pooled in my eyes, and I looked around for my family. I had no idea Felixe had done so much for me while I was unnecessarily doubting him. The guests whom I heard upstairs were none other than my family. While I was sleeping, oblivious to their presence, my mate had arranged for my happiness. “Keep all negative thoughts out of your mind now, Hera. You shouldn’t stress so much about your delivery. It will have a harmful effect on your babies. You don’t want them to feel your stress, right? They’ll be stressed too.” I looked at Ebony and nodded. Yes, she was right. I had been worrying too much lately. I didn’t want it to have an adverse effect on my pups. “We’ve booked the most advanced multispecialty hospital for you, Hera. I’m sure if there’s any complication, the doctor can sort it out. There’s no need to worry so much. Felixe will be with you in the birthing room while we all will be there outside for you,” said Derrick. I wiped my tears and smiled
Hera’s POV As the days went by, my mobility became more and more hindered. If it weren’t for the therapy classes, I would have been bedridden. This wasn’t fun at all. Felixe, Ebony, and Stella took care of me every step of the way. My birthday was two days later, but I had no enthusiasm left in my body to look forward to it. I would just call my twin and wish him. It was strange that he hadn’t called me once in the last one month. What was he so busy with? After my delivery, I would definitely fight with him if I were alive. “Hera, what’s wrong? Felixe wanted you ready in the evening.” I gaped at Stella, having completely forgotten about it. He had asked me on a date before leaving for work. I had been so preoccupied with my condition, I completely forgot about it. “I can’t go out, Stella.” She smiled, sorting through my closet for the perfect dress. None of them were perfect. I hated my body now. The wish to dress up for my mate had gone forever. What was the use? I could never l
