Inez’s POV. Ingrid’s voice pierced through the silence of the room, commanding me to do the dishes, sweep the floor, clean the bathroom, do the laundry, and prepare dinner. I bowed my head in submission, knowing that I had no choice but to obey her orders. As I walked towards the kitchen, I couldn't help but feel a sense of bitterness towards Ingrid. She was the reason I was in this predicament.I used to be happy before Ingrid came into my life. I had dreams of finding my true mate and starting a family, but those dreams were shattered the moment I was chosen to be Ingrid's personal mate. From then on, my life revolved around her, and I was forced to do her bidding.As I washed the dishes, I couldn't help but think about what my life could have been like if I wasn't bound to Ingrid. Maybe I would have found my happiness. But those thoughts were quickly pushed aside as I heard Ingrid's footsteps approaching.She stood behind me, watching my every move with a critical eye. I tried my
Alpha Lance’s POV. I felt a surge of anger rise up in me as Ingrid recounted the events that had transpired. How dare Inez disobey her and sneak out of the Packhouse? Did she not understand the consequences of her actions?My fists clenched at my sides as Ingrid continued to cry, her words becoming more and more jumbled as she spoke. I could feel my heart rate increasing as my mind raced with thoughts of punishment and retribution."Ingrid, calm down," I said firmly, my voice low and commanding. "I will take care of this. Where is Inez now?""I don't know. She is not in her room," Ingrid sniffled, wiping away tears with the back of her hand. "I-I didn't know what else to do. I didn't want to make any decisions without your permission."I nodded, my jaw set in determination. "You did the right thing by coming to me," I said, my voice softening slightly. "But you need to trust me to handle this. I won't let Inez get away with disobeying you."Ingrid nodded, seeming to calm down slight
LIAM'S POV.I woke up that morning, still feeling the weight of the meeting with my elders the previous day. It had been chaotic, with accusations flying back and forth. They had accused me of killing my father, and no matter how many times I told them I didn't do it, they wouldn't listen. Finally, in a fit of anger, I yelled at them that I did kill him. They all shut up after that, and I left the meeting feeling frustrated and exhausted.As I lay in bed, I couldn't help but think about the accusations that had been leveled against me. I knew they were baseless, but I couldn't shake the feeling that something was going on. And then there was the letter that Lance had sent us about Inez. I had suspected that something was wrong from the moment I read it.I got up from bed and made my way to the door when there was a knock. I groaned and grabbed a cloak to cover my nakedness before opening the door. The guard on duty handed me a letter. It was from Lance, and it confirmed my suspicion
Liam’s POV.I walked into Lance’s pack and was immediately greeted by the commotion of the guards running around, trying to attend to one thing or the other. I could see how distraught they were and I knew something was not right. As I made my way through the crowd, I caught sight of Alpha Lance who was looking particularly dishevelled. I greeted him briefly but he didn't even respond to some of the things I asked.Ignoring Lance’s state, I walked towards where Inez was being attended to. I could see her lying there, unconscious and vulnerable. It was a sight that struck a chord within me, making me feel helpless and angry all at once.The pack physician was working on her, trying his best to stabilise her condition. I could see the sweat on his brow and the intensity in his eyes, which told me that it was not looking good. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, worried for her and what might happen to her.As I stood there, watching her, I couldn't help but wonder what could hav
LIAM'S POV.Lance and I stepped outside the infirmary room and the tension between us was palpable. We didn't speak a word to each other as we walked in silence. But then, without warning, we both simultaneously changed into our wolf forms.My body began to tingle, and I could feel the change coming over me. My bones elongated and reshaped themselves, my skin stretching and growing fur. In a matter of seconds, I was no longer a man, but a powerful wolf. I shook my fur out, feeling the freedom and exhilaration that came with being in my true form.Beside me, Lance went through the same transformation. His fur was a sleek, shiny black, reflecting the moon's light like a million tiny diamonds. His eyes were a piercing blue that seemed to glow with an otherworldly intensity. His muscles rippled and bulged, revealing a power that was both awe-inspiring and intimidating.His body was massive, easily twice the size of my own wolf, with long legs and a broad chest that made him look like a pr
Inez’s POVAn electric wave shocked me and I gave Alpha Liam a faint smile. He squirted his eyes before lifting his head from the side of the bed. “I am sorry, I shouldn’t have fallen asleep here.” He apologized, wiping the side of his lips and I found it cute.I could only nod my head, lost for words because I wasn’t sure of what to tell him. I don’t want to mess this up when he is the only one acting nice to me. Among the three mates that I was destined to have, only one looks like he cares about me and I can see that he is very sincere about it. He is not faking it. “How are you feeling?” He asked, jerking me out of my reveries.“Fine.” I croaked.“Are you sure?” He asked again, searching for something in my eyes.Something I can’t give out even though I am not sure of what he wants to find out. “Yes.” I affirmed.“Can you remember the night that you were attacked?” That night, when I was attacked has to be the worst ever. I didn’t even get to see the face of my attacker. Heck, I
Lance’s POVIn my hand was a file and also a letter sent by the Alpha of Shadow Pack. He wants me, I mean the pack house to help them out with foodstuff and some of my guards after their pack was destroyed.Unlike here, their pack was attacked by an insider, someone no one would ever think would do something like that. The beta betrayed the Alpha and not only the Alpha, but the entire pack. What a shame. “So what is the best suggestion here?” I asked Henry, my beta.Beta Henry had returned from his travel in search of his mother immediately he got the message that the pack was attacked. Someone would have stayed back, seeing that I am capable enough to get the culprit but Henry, well, he said it was better that he comes back and we take care of it altogether.“Giving them a few guards won’t hurt and besides we have a lot of food stock from last year. No, we have a lot to keep us for more than three years. So it will be okay if we help them.” He suggested.He dropped the file on the ta
Alpha Liam’s POVI just couldn’t believe that Lance has a whole folder concerning the attack on the Shadow pack. The date that the file was issued was a week before the attack. So why does he have it? “I am asking Lance, what are you doing with this?” I repeated, dropping the entire file on the desk.Some images that I had missed dropped down from the file and I ignored them. “What if I was the mastermind behind it?” He smirked, rising his brows.“Then I am not amazed that you did but I am disappointed Lance. You claim to be the leader of all, then why opt for this way?”This is something Lance could do without any reason, that I know of but as long as I remembered, he and the Alpha of Shadow Pack go back a long way. They are best friends. “I need to dig more dirt to cover the dirt.” He responded.I chuckled. “That was the only option you had? So would you burn down my pack because I know the truth now?” I challenged.And to be honest, I would love to see him try. This is the worst he
