Zoey’s Pov.

i had waited untill the whole palace was asleep before i left , i knew not to take any of the palace cars cause it wa easy to identify an inhabitant of the palace by their cars , So i was walking . All i had with me was two dresses, a scarf, my water bottle, There was no water in it cause i couldn’t go to the kitchen because of the maids there and so that means i couldn’t even leave with food , I was already used to the easy life in the palace and so i was finding it difficult to walk fast , I was not so far from the palace and if the guard started their search, They would find me eventually.

“ Serena …We need to run , We cannot afford to go back to that pack” At this point serena was my only confidant, i’ve never had friends , I was a loner even in the palace ,i had only one favorite maid but Lyon had sent her away cause she was wearing a dress i gave her , he found it disrespectful and even though i pleaded that he allow her stay cause she was my only friend , He didn’t even listen. Lyon does things he feels like is the best thing for me but he fails to see the fact that it may not be what i wanted , He was selfish .

“ Do you think he’s going to find me ? i don’t think he’s going to , he has always hated me and he talks about how i’m so weak , i know he will be glad i’m off his chest “ I sighed , i had no idea why that made me feel sad , Was i sad that lyon was not going to miss me ? What is wrong with me ? If only my wolf would communicate with me , My grandma told me that wolf communicate telepathically, Like a small thoughts in your head , Talking to you or giving some kind of emotions but i have never felt it , it was only me in my head .

“ Why won’t you talk to me ? Why am i different? Why does everything bad and complicated happen to me !” I screamed in annoyance.

“ Zoey !!! Zoey!!!Zoey!!”

i heard some men calling out my name , it must be the search guards, Are they searching for me? Was i still close to the palace …

“ RUN!” i heard a voice in my head and i started to run as fast as i could , I ran faster than i have ever done. One of my hands was on my stomach,The life living inside of me , I almost forgot i was pregnant, I hoped i won’t loose it cause of all of this tantrum. I stopped to catch my breath , i lifted my head and i saw a group of people chatting, I stood there for a long contemplating if i should approach them and ask for some water , What if i was still in Lyon’s district and they recognize me.

“ We are no longer in his territory, You can ask them “

i heard a voice inside of me , Similar to the one i heard before , it was serena speaking to me , it was a new type of feeling, She was finally communicating.

If it was true that i was not in Skywood pack anymore , it meant i was free . Originally Skywood was where i originated from even before i became the pack’s luna but it never felt like home to me , My small district town was where i felt peace and i was going back . I walked towards the ladies and i stretched out my water bottle .

“ Greetings…Please can i have some ?” I asked and they paused for a while , One of them from behind replied.

“ Yes you can “ She handed me some water and ushered me to the side of the lake where i could wash up while i was washing up , i turned and asked.

“ What is the name of this district please ?” i asked.

“ It is not a district , This is the Silver Pack !” One replied and i nodded , i still had one more pack and a district before i get to my district, If i was in silver pack , it means i am still close to Lyon , This was a neighborhood pack and just immediately i heard one of them whisper .

“ I heard the Luna of Skywood pack is missing !” One of them whispered.

“ Really ? i don’t actually know who she is , I heard she hardly came out of the palace , But i heard she’s really weak and maybe that’s why Lyon didn’t really show her off, i mean what will a strong man like Lyon do with a weak woman like her” A guy amongst them spoke up .

“ What if he’s protecting her from his enemy ? Lyon has a lot , Don’t you think “ Another said and i scoffed .

“ Protect her my foot , he hated her and treats her like cabbage “ I scoffed .

“ How do you know that ?”

“ i just know , Thank you for the water …What’s the direction to get to the boarder of the next pack ?” I asked and the male amongst them reply .

“ it’s after the village square but if you’re heading to that pack , Be extra careful…They do not accept visitors “

“ Thank you so much for your help “ i said and turned to leave .

One of the ladies ran to the group and whispered

“ You see that robe she’s wearing, With the dragon flame? That’s skywood royal robe , Who is she ?”

“ I knew her face was weirdly family , i have been to the skywood palace for an occasion and i can swear i have seen that face around …”

“ Is she who i think she is ?”

“ There is a price for whoever can get her to the Alpha,Do you think she’s the one ?”

“ I Doubt…She doesn’t look like skywood luna material , We must have been mistaken , i’m sure there is an explanation for her robe “

“ Anyways who are we to mingle in Alpha Lyon’s business, if he’s luna is missing , i’m sure he will find her anytime soon …He is Alpha Lyon “

    Chapter 7I was walking on eggshells, scared that someone would recognize me. I walked into a local boutique, where an elderly woman was sitting. The moment she saw me, she fell to her knees.Damn it! She knew who I was.I ran to her and begged her to stand up, and she did. I looked at her closely—it was the seamstress who made my wedding dress. I remembered the day I got married to Lyon. I woke up in tears. That was my first attempt at running away, but I was immediately caught. The wedding was postponed twice because I locked myself in my room. I finally agreed to marry Lyon after he threatened to slit my grandmother’s throat right in front of me. That was when the seamstress came in with my dress. The only reason I smiled that day was because of the beautiful gown she had made and how she kept telling me how beautiful I was.“Did anyone see you walk in here?” she asked, rushing to bring down the curtains.I shook my head. Today was oddly quiet. It was as though the universe was in

    Alpha Lyon’s POVThe palace felt empty—not because all the soldiers and guards had been deployed to search for the Luna, but because she was not here. The sound of her kitten heels clicking down the hallway, her vanilla scent, and her gentle smile were nonexistent now.I grabbed the vase in the corner and smashed it against the wall, my eyes flaming with anger. How dare she run away from me?“Lyon, maybe you should calm down. She might not have run away. What are the odds?” Darian said, trying to soothe his friend, who had been spiraling since the news of his wife’s escape reached him. It was almost nighttime, and she was still nowhere to be found.“What are the odds? Darian! Zoey never leaves the palace. She knows no one around. She went to bed last night, and now she’s nowhere to be found. She has escaped!”“You just said it like she was in prison. Escaped? Have you considered that she might be missing? You have a whole lot of enemies, Lyon. What if she was abducted?”Darian was mak

  • Escape of The Alpha’s Wife   The Journey

    The JourneyThe ride was hectic. I kept counting the strands of my hair, praying and hoping that nobody would come to the back of the truck. But eventually, midway through the journey, one of the drivers stopped. When he came to the back of the truck, I was asleep, and the sound of his voice woke me up.“You guys need to see this. There’s a girl down here,” he alerted the other drivers.All three men gathered, shocked to see me. Even I was too stunned and scared to speak. Now, I was in the middle of nowhere, an intruder in the truck of three men.“Missy, where are you headed?” one of the drivers asked with a soft smile.“How did you get on the truck?” another asked.“Hello… I’m sorry for trespassing,” I replied softly. Over the years, being Lyon’s wife had taught me a whole lot of things, and one of them was soft femininity. I was no longer the loud and lousy girl I used to be. I had become more feminine. I could calm Lyon just by saying a few words. Maybe that was how I had survived

I already had my plan in my head—go with my soldiers and bring her back to where she belonged.“You look like a master whose slave just escaped,” Darian said with a scoff. He had been standing there while I paced from corner to corner. I just couldn’t calm down.“No, a husband whose wife escaped. Or rather, an Alpha whose Luna just escaped,” I responded in a defensive tone.“Lyon, I have a question for you,” Darian said, dropping the papers he was holding and focusing on whatever this conversation was turning into.“If you have anything to say, you might as well talk,” I replied.“Why are you so agitated? Give me two solid reasons.”Darian had just made me even more upset.“You know, people used to gossip and say, ‘Oh, Darian, the Omega of the Skywood Pack, is a joker and prankster.’ But I never took it seriously, and now you’re asking me such stupid questi

Where was my grandmother? Did Lyon do this? Did he take her?But my eyes met the ground. There was fresh grass. The building had been destroyed for a long time now. I ran to the backyard where my grandmother used to plant her herbs, but it was also all gone. Instead, there was a flower garden, and I saw its owner—a young girl about my age, with a little sister by her side. I immediately ran toward her to seek answers.“Uhmm, hi. Do you live around here?” I asked. She stared at me for a long time before she eventually said something.“Yes, I do. My cottage is down there…” she said, pointing in a direction opposite where our house used to be.“Then you must know what happened to my grandma. She used to live here—a very popular healer… our home was around here,” I explained with a shaky voice, trying to fight my tea

Zoey’s grandmother was my gateway to finding Zoey, and now, with this development, I was at a dead end.“What do you mean by she disappeared? Is she some kind of spirit? You guys think I’m a joke?!” I stood up, my eyes filled with anger that I couldn’t bring myself to control.“We searched everywhere… Turns out she was sick, and people said one day she was gone, and a few days later, her house was destroyed by unknown men. Rumors have it that she died while fetching herbs and that her body was never found. Zoey is also nowhere to be found! Nobody has seen her around,” the chief of security explained.If what he was saying was true… Zoey’s grandmother was dead? That wasn’t the plan. What did he mean by dead?

    ROBIN THE CARPENTER Zoey’s Pov When Robin asked that question, I felt sick to my stomach. It was as though what I feared the most had happened. “What do you mean by that? My grandmother sent me this letter. She can’t be dead.” I reached for my leather bag and brought out the letter. It was at that moment I realized I must have left the duplicate in my room, and Lyon must have found out about it because I had only one copy. “This letter was written a few months after you left. She was sick. Lyon always came visiting without you, and she—” “Lyon visited?” I choked on my own words before he could even finish. It was painful to voice out that Lyon had been visiting my grandmother without me. What was his reason? “He did during the first years of your marriage, but then your grandmother told him never to come back unless he brought you with him. She never accepted his gifts, and she didn’t accept him either. The following month, when Lyon stopped coming, she fell ill, and that w

    HER WHEREABOUTS Zoey’s POV Robin didn’t explicitly say my grandmother was dead, but he didn’t deny it either. At this point, I needed a clear answer. “What do you mean you didn’t tell me she was dead? Everyone was saying it, and you kept talking about her like she was in the past. You even said I was too late!” Robin exhaled sharply. “Do you realize how hard it was for your grandmother, waiting outside her hut every day, hoping to see you again?” His words struck me like a blow, and my knees gave out. Robin caught me before I collapsed, guiding me to a corner to sit down. “I’m not trying to justify my actions, nor am I saying I was right. But please, I just need a clear answer from you. Is my nana alive?” I knew Robin would tell me the truth, but was I prepared for his answer? The room was so silent that even the sound of a nail dropping would have echoed loudly. “Yes! She is.” I fell to my knees, sobbing uncontrollably. I wasn’t sure if they were tears of relief or p

My fingers stayed lifted long after the car was gone—like part of me wasn’t ready to lower them. Not ready to face what lay behind me.Inside.Home… again. Or whatever this was now.I sighed and turned. The long hallway stretched like a tunnel of silence. My son was upstairs, asleep. For now, he was safe. That was the only thing keeping me grounded.Just as I took my first step back into the corridor, I heard it—a voice I hadn’t heard in so long. A voice that hit my heart like a rush of sunlight.“ Lady Zoey!”I turned sharply, and there she was.“Myla!” I gasped.My favorite maid. No—my friend.She came rushing at me, and we collided in a tight hug. We squealed like children, spinning each other just slightly, laughing in disbelief and emotion.“Do you know how I cried when I heard you were dead?” Myla whispered, still clinging to me.I pulled back, brows fur

Now, I had to stay. Alone.Nana walked up to me first, cupping my face with both hands like she always did when I was a little girl. Her hands were warm, trembling slightly. “Be strong, Zoey,” she said softly. “You’re doing this for him. Only for him.”I nodded, biting the inside of my cheek to stop the tears from falling. “I know.”She leaned closer and whispered, “Don’t let the palace break you. Don’t let him break you again.”Then she turned to Lyon.“Promise me,” she said sternly, as if she was still speaking to any normal man , not an Alpha. “Promise me you’ll let her visit. She’s not your prisoner.”Before Lyon could even respond, I said quietly, “He knows that. I’m not a slave. I’m just… living

I reached out, my fingers trembling as they hovered over his chest. No rise. No fall. I leaned in, pressing my ear close to his mouth—nothing.“No,” I whispered, panic seizing my throat. “No, no, no.”I shook him gently. “Lyon Junior? Baby?”Still nothing.A scream tore from my lips, raw and primal. “My baby!”The door burst open. Lyon was the first to enter, his eyes wide with alarm. My nana followed, then Kael, Tiara, and Darian. Robin had gone home to his wife the night before.I was on the floor, clutching my lifeless child, sobbing uncontrollably. “It’s my fault,” I cried. “I shouldn’t have come back.

And my baby, curled up in Nana’s arms, calm for the first time in days.Kael rushed forward the moment he saw me.“Zoey? What happened?” he asked, voice tight with worry.“Did he hit you?” Robin snapped, his fists already clenched like he’d charge back in without hesitation.I shook my head quickly, wiping my face. “No… We just—argued.”That was an understatement. We screamed at each other like animals. Years of pain exploded in one room, and even though it shattered something inside me, it also freed me a little.“I yelled,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “He yelled back. That’s it.”My knees gave in, and I squatted down right there in the hallway, pressing my palms to the groun

They didn’t wait for protocol or permission.The yelling started instantly.“You dare show your face here?”“She’s a disgrace!”“Lock her up!”“ You deceived all of us “ “Send her back to wherever she came from!”All aimed at me—spit-flecked words, righteous fury, sharp as knives. The walls trembled with their noise.And Lyon… he just stood there.Silent.Rocking our child in his arms as though none of this concerned him.My child.Our child.My son who nearly died because I stayed hidden for too long.I clenched my fists at my side, swallowing the fire rising in my throat.Nana slipped beside me and gave my wrist a soft squeeze. “Don’t say a word,” she whispered, her voice a thread o

My lips froze mid-curve, suddenly aware of how small I felt.My heart was doing somersaults in my chest. My palms were sweaty where they held my son—our son. Lyon Jr. stirred softly, his lashes fluttering against his cheeks. He didn’t know the chaos his presence had just ignited.And then—“WHAT is going on here?”A familiar shriek ripped through the courtyard like nails down a chalkboard.Serena.She stormed in like she owned the place, even though her presence felt entirely out of place in the middle of something this… sacred.Her gown swished around her ankles. Her arms were dramatically clutching her side, no sign of the ‘back pain’ that had crippled her moments ago.Nana—sweet, loyal Nana—stepped forward, clutching the shawl wrapped around her shoulders.

    Chapter _: She’s Back and on a Random Day ?Lyon’s POVThere was something wrong with Darian.Not in a loud, obvious way. It was the kind of wrong that crept in slowly — quiet, uneasy. His shoulders were always stiff now. He barely slept, barely talked unless I asked him something directly. And whenever his phone buzzed, his whole body twitched like it was a bomb waiting to explode.Today, it buzzed again.We were seated in the war room going over reports on the southern outpost — something about border tension and possible rogue movement. Darian wasn’t even paying attention. His eyes kept flicking down to the table where his phone lay face up. When it lit up again, I saw the way his jaw clenched.He stood up suddenly, almost knocking his chair over.“I’ll just step out and take this,” he muttered.I raised an eyebrow. “Since when do you take calls outside?”Darian froze.He turned halfway, trying to force a smile. “It’s nothing important.”“Then sit down and take it here,” I said, ke

Tired in the way someone gets after holding too much in for too long.I didn’t say anything.I couldn’t.I stared at the floor for a while, the hem of my shirt wrinkled in my fist. The room felt heavier with each passing second.“I need to check on my baby,” I whispered, barely looking at him.He didn’t try to stop me.Didn’t even ask for an answer.Instead, he grabbed his keys and said, “I’ll drive.”The car ride back home was quiet. Not the peaceful kind of quiet — the heavy kind. Like the silence knew what we were both afraid to say out loud.I rested my head against the window, watching the city blur past.Bright lights, crossing headlights, people moving like they weren’t carrying the kind of weight I had sitting on my chest.“Do you think I’ll survive this?” I asked suddenly.Kael didn’t look surprised by the question.
