[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]“What’s this place?”Killian stepped inside the cabin I didn’t know stood in the middle of the western forest of Silver Crescent. I had been silent the whole hour we were on the horse as Killian led me to this secret place, he said he had been using since he started hunting in this part of the forest.
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]I had to curl into a ball to keep myself warm.This savage coldness was deceiving me. Every thirty minutes, Olivia’s minions went inside my isolated prison cell to splash me with water, making the situation even worse for me.I didn’t know how long they were going to do this. I didn’t know how long I could tolerate what Olivia was doing to me. But if I ever heard her say anything about my children, I would never think twice about tearing her head away from her pretty little neck. I would make sure her head would roll down in front of her bastard dad.Every muscle in my body trembled with ache. I stuck my tongue to the roof of my mouth, worried that I might bite it as my teeth gnashed and my jaws trembled at the cold. I pressed both my hands against my chest, between my breasts, to shield the tips of my fingers from any potential frostbite. I couldn’t lose a hand. I need them to rip Olivia’s eyes out and make her scream for mercy as I torture her and make her
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]I could feel the warm blood dripping down my back.The Gamma, who unexpectedly entered my cell and ordered me to face the wall, gave me so many lashes that I almost passed out in pain. Twenty ruthless lashes on my back, and the flesh turned swollen and raw. My knees trembled as tears rolled down my face, questioning life and why I had to suffer like this.Every inch of me ached, and I couldn’t move. It was so cold, and every joint in my body felt stiff while the wounds were burning despite the extreme drop in temperature inside my isolated cell. I couldn’t remember the last time I had water or decent food. I was deteriorating here, and I didn't know what my husband was doing or if my kids were safe with their babysitters at Liam's. I had to find a way to get out of here. I needed to ensure Devon and Diana were doing well. They must be distressed now that I have suddenly disappeared again. What did Dominic tell them this time? What would happen if they disco
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]Freezing water splashed on my face, and I thought my heart stopped from the shock and the numbing feeling it left me after the water stung the bare skin of my back.I huffed. A white cloud emerged from my mouth as I trembled, taking deep breaths. The prison was cold. It was as if it was designed to put powerful wolves into slumber and prevent them from getting out of this freezer-like prison. No silver chains, but the muscles in my body were so stiff and aching that I wasn’t able to move even a few steps away from the wall where I was held by thick ropes that were starting to burn my wrists and ankles.The water made it hard for me to breathe. I turned around and glared at that person standing behind me with a bucket in her hand. That grin on her face made me want to grab her by the neck and tear a huge chunk of it with my teeth. My nostrils flared with both anger and pain, and my hands curled into fists as snarls reverberated in my throat, grinding my teeth
[ALPHA DOMINIC’s Point of View]I had to get her out as fast as I could.It broke my heart to watch my wife being incarcerated in the dungeons of my Pack manor, and what worsened it was that I couldn’t do anything about it. I f*cking hate when I am the Alpha of the pack and there’s nothing for me to do to save my wife from the people who wanted me and her to be executed in this very place.My eyes darkened and sharpened as I walked towards the hallways. My aura gave death as I walked past the omega servants and gamma soldiers, who flinched and bowed their heads to me in fear and reverence.I swore I would never be the same man Samantha hated several years ago. But seeing my wife being treated like an animal on my turf, it was as if a little of that dark, ruthless side of me slipped, not to punish the woman who loved me with all her life, but to destroy the enemies who wanted to destroy her—us.And it was the time that I wish I could take back that ruthless guy whom everyone feared. B
[SAMANTHA’S Point of View]His warning was not to get out of the house no matter what.I watched Devon and Diana outside through the open window as they played on that small playground their father had prepared for them. They looked beaming and innocent, and it wrenched my heart because I couldn’t tell them that their grandmother had already passed away. I couldn’t tell them she died outside
[ALPHA DOMINIC’s Point of View]There’s no way I would believe this.I studied the timeline. I ordered the guards to send me the video captured by the CCTV and studied it. I locked myself in the office the whole day and watched it repeatedly. I meticulously examined every aspect of the scene, attempting to determine if it truly represented
[ALPHA DOMINIC’s Point of View]My head felt like it was splitting in half.Every time I closed my eyes, I could see my mother's smiling face. And then the surroundings suddenly got dark. Shadows around her gathered and grabbed her violently, dragging her underneath the ground as she screamed in terror.
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]That loud noise of something shattering in the kitchen made me almost jump out of my seat.“Madison?”“I-I am truly sorry, Miss Samantha! The plate slip
