After Adrian's departure, Alpha Mark couldn't help but pace around as he wondered how he was going to rescue his daughter Mara and grandson Diego.

Even though Mara had acted very foolishly by having an affair with Dave and also having a child with him despite being mated to Adrian, he still wanted to save her and the child; after all, she was his only daughter, and Diego, on the other hand, was his grandson, even though Dave was his father.

But now the main problem is how he was going to manage to save them since Adrian had made it clear that pleading wasn't an option.

Being an Alpha, he was already aware of the punishment reserved for anyone who goes against the Alpha, especially in the way Mara did. He knew very well that the punishment she would receive would either be life imprisonment or execution, and Diego, on the other hand, could be sent to an orphanage or turned into a slave since he was the child of a traitor, and he didn't want any of that for his daughter and grandson, bu

    *Amelia* It was another sunny and busy day in the human world.After yesterday's graduation, it was finally time to resume work at the hospital where I worked part-time while schooling. I have been absent for the past two days because of the graduation, but now that it is finally over, I have no other choice but to return to work, and since I have already graduated, I can now start working full-time and at the same time be looking for another hospital that will employ me as a medical doctor, which I am now, and when that happens, I won't have to be working as a nursing assistant anymore but like a medical doctor like Dr. Alex Darlington, and maybe if I work hard, I might even become as famous as he is."So you want to become a famous medical doctor just like our mate? Wow, that would be so romantic," Tricksy squealed happily through our mind link, and with that I rolled my eyes as if she was right in front of me."Tricksy, you know very well that I haven't accepted Dr. Alex Darlingto

    It was eight thirty AM in the human world. Alex was in his office at the hospital going through some reports when his phone suddenly started ringing.Sighing heavily, he took the phone to check the caller ID. Seeing who was calling, he immediately picked up the call and placed the phone to his ear."Good morning, Your Highness," Jake's voice sounded through the phone, and with that, Alex frowned deeply."Jake, why haven't you been picking up my call?" Alex asked him without replying to his greetings."I'm sorry, Your Highness, there have been many issues going on in the Pack lately,' Jake said to Alex, who furrowed his brow while wondering what he was talking about."What issues?" Alex asked Jake through the phone."His Highness has found out about his mate's infidelity," Jake said to Alex."What!" Alex exclaimed in surprise."How the hell did he find out?" Alex asked Jake with a surprised tone."Diego got into an accident and lost a lot of blood, and when he was brought to the hospit

    *Amelia*It was a thirty-minute ride from the hospital where I have been working to Darlington Hospital.Getting to the hospital, I couldn't help but admire how huge it was right from outside. It was one of the biggest hospitals in the whole city, and I don't think there's another hospital in the city that is as big as this one, not any that I have seen.Getting into the hospital, I made my way to the receptionist, who was busy manipulating the computer right in front of her."Good morning," I greeted her with a warm smile."Good morning, Mrs. How can I help you?" The receptionist asked me."I want to see Dr. Alex Darlington," I said to her and immediately she furrowed her brows at me."Do you have any appointment with him?" She asked me, and I nodded in reply."Your name, please?" She asked me, and with that I gave her my name, and without hesitating she typed it on her computer, and after some minutes she lifted her head and looked at me with a warm smile hovering over her face."So

    Alex could clearly see the shock and fear written on Amelia's face as he made mention of taking her to his pack. For someone who grew up in the human world, she was supposed to be excited and eager to go to a werewolf pack, but from the view of things, it was clear that she wasn't interested, and from the way she refused without even giving it a thought, he could already tell that she wasn't just uninterested, but she was afraid of something."Amelia, what's wrong? Don't you want to follow me to my pack?" Alex asked her with a furrowed brow as he took a step backward to take a proper look at her face."No, Alex, it's not that I don't want to follow you to your pack; I would really love to, but I don't think that this is the right time, and mind you that I just graduated. Right now, the only thing I want to do is concentrate on doing what I have spent almost five years learning how to do, which is curing people," Amelia said to Alex, who was staring at her with a doubtful glare."Are y

    Adrian was in his office as usual, lost in his thoughts. Since he discovered Mara's infidelity and Diego not being his son, he hasn't been himself; he doesn't even assume his responsibilities as the Alpha of the Pack, which he never fails to do. Jake has been the one taking care of everything, even meeting up with some of the Pack members who wanted to see the Alpha about some urgent issues.Remembering how he had mistreated Amelia until she ran away from the Pack five years ago, Adrian couldn't help but beat himself in grief. He still couldn't bring himself to believe that since all this while he had made no attempt to search for her, it was as if he was waking up from a deep slumber that was probably caused by his stupid love for Mara.Knowing how good Jake was at tracking people down, he knew that finding her wasn't going to be an issue, so he wasn't worried about that. What he was worried about was whether she was ever going to find it in her heart to forgive him and whether she

    It was five pm in the evening. Alex had finished his daily activity at the hospital and was about to start heading back home.Getting into his car, he was about to ignite it on when his phone suddenly started ringing. Groaning in frustration, he took his briefcase and brought out his phone to check who was calling.Seeing that it was Jake, he ignited his car and connected the phone to the car's Bluetooth before picking up the call."Hi Jake, How are you doing?" Alex asked after picking up the call."I'm good, Your Highness. What about you?" Jake asked Alex."I'm good. Any good news?" Alex asked him while driving out of the hospital."Well, there's a news, but I won't call it good news," Jake said to Alex through the phone."Well, if the news isn't good, then it's bad. Go on, I'm all ears," Alex said to him with his attention still fixed on the road as he was driving the car."Well, his Highness is insisting that I track down his former Luna, and he's even threatening to find someone

    *Amelia*"Is there any other patient I have to check on?" I asked the assistant nurse who was following me from behind as I made my way out of one of the hospital wards."No, ma'am, this is the last one," she said to me, and I nodded."Okay, then, if there's anything else, just let me know," I said to her, and with that, she nodded in reply before walking away.Actually it was five thirty pm, and since I was about to start heading home, I had to check up on all the patients who were under my care and make sure that nothing was wrong with them. After checking up on all the patients, I returned to my new and first office and balanced on the chair as I tried to recover my strength a little bit before heading back home.Even though it was my first day as a certified doctor, I was exhausted as hell.

    After dropping off Erica at her house, I couldn't help but think about what she told me as I was driving back home.Even without her telling me, I have already known that sooner or later Alex was going to find out that I was formerly his stepbrother's mate, and just as Erica said, he is going to be angry when he finds out, which I also know, but before he finds out, I would have already informed him about it, but that still doesn't mean that I'm going to accept to follow him to his pack. Who knows what Adrian will do to me when he sets his eyes on me?As these thoughts were running through my mind, I spotted a car parked in front of my house as I was getting closer, and leaning on the car was someone who looked like Alex.At first I didn't want to believe that it was him since I couldn't see his face, and also the car was different from the one I always saw him driving, but when I got closer and the person leaning on the car turned around, that was when it became clear to me that it w

    Amelia couldn't believe her eyes as Adrian rushed towards her and hugged her; she had thought that he was going to order for her arrest or maybe even attack her, but to her greatest surprise, he rushed towards her and hugged her as if they had been on good terms before she left the pack."Where the hell have you been? You don't know for how long I have been searching for you," Adrian whispered to Amelia, who was still standing motionless as he was hugging her."Hey, what the hell is wrong with you? Get your filthy hands off my mate," Alex growled angrily at Adrian as he yanked him off Amelia, and with that, he pulled Amelia behind, standing between both of them as he fumed in anger."Mate? You mean Amelia is your mate?" Adrian stammered with a surprised tone as he still couldn't believe his ears. "Yes, of course, or were you expecting her to be someone else rather than my mate?" Alex growled angrily at Adrian."Impossible, this can't be," Adrian muttered in disbelief, and with that,

    *Amelia* I still can't believe that after all these years spent in the human world, I'm returning to Wolfenwood Pack, the same pack I had run away from five years ago.I know that I had promised myself never to return to Wolfenwood Pack again, but with Alex constantly pressuring me, I have no other choice but to accept to go back with him, and happily he had agreed with me that we will be back to the human world once the mating ceremony is over, so I won't have to worry about putting up with Adrian and Mara for a very long time.Concerning Adrian, I still don't know what he's going to do to me when he finally sees me, but one thing I'm sure about is that Alex isn't going to stand back and watch his brother hurt me, and also he had promised me that he was going to protect me and make sure nothing happens to me. For now, my main prayer is that he doesn't go back on his promise, especially after discovering my past relationship with his brother."Come on, Amelia, you worry a lot. Alex

    It has been over a week since the event of Adrian discovering Mara's infidelity took place, and unlike the first week after the event took place, Adrian was no longer feeling downcast; he had even started assuming all his responsibilities as the Alpha just as before, giving Jake enough time to focus on finding Dave, Mara, and the former Luna Amelia.Meanwhile, Adrian was in his office going through some Pack-related documents when his office suddenly started ringing.Sighing heavily, he dropped the document he was going through before taking his phone to check who was calling.On seeing the caller ID, he furrowed his brows in surprise, and just in the twinkle of an eye, his surprised facial expression was replaced with an angry facial expression.After some minutes of hesitation, he finally picked up the call and placed the phone to his ear."Hello," he muttered after picking up the call, anger evident in his tone."Hello, big bro, how are you doing?
