MasukSarah POVThe following morning, Barbara, Samantha, and I arrived at what was undoubtedly the most luxurious and opulent spa I have ever encountered, with exquisite decor, state-of-the-art facilities, and an atmosphere of pure indulgence. Daniel's impeccable taste was evident in every detail.Once we entered the spa, all my worries from the week immediately melted away. I had enjoyed an hour-long scrub, then reflexology, and a soothing scalp massage. The highlight of my day was definitely the mud bath. I had never experienced anything like that before, and it was absolutely amazing.After a relaxing bath, we prepared to have our nails and hair done. I opted for a simple, elegant look for my pedicure and manicure by choosing classic French tips. For my hair, Barbara and Samantha agreed that an updo would be perfect to enhance the overall elegance and complement my wedding dress.It was late at night when we finally arrived back at the pack, feeling completely refreshed and energized af
Sarah POVI gradually awoke to the gentle warmth of hands softly holding mine. My eyelids fluttered open after several blinks, the residual sleep blurring my vision and making everything appear hazy and indistinct.I was already certain that it was Daniel holding my hand. His scent was always intense and familiar, yet it brought me a soothing sense of calm and a sense of home. After blinking repeatedly to clear my vision, I looked again to find Daniel’s head resting comfortably on my hospital bed, his breathing audible as he slept soundly.I suddenly realized I was in the hospital, overwhelmed by vivid flashbacks of what had transpired the previous night. Memories flooded back—being kidnapped, restrained, and threatened by unknown assailants. I remembered John forcefully dragging me along, insisting I comply with his boss's demands. Now, I knew I had to confide in Daniel about what they had sought from me. I was deeply concerned about protecting him and the rest of the pack, fearing
John POVMy head was pounding intensely from the force of the impact, a sharp, relentless ache that seemed to reverberate through my skull. Suddenly, without warning, I was yanked out of my car with incredible force, the suddenness of the movement causing a dizzying rush that made the world spin around me.After being pulled out of the car, I looked up and saw a towering, massive man looming over me. I shouted, "Get your hand off me!" but he ignored my demand. Without warning, he clenched his fist and punched me squarely in the face, forcing me to hit my face on the pavement with a sickening thud.My head was pounding relentlessly, each throb echoing through my skull, as I suddenly felt my body being dragged across the rough pavement like I weighed nothing at all. The sensation of asphalt scraping against my skin was almost unbearable, yet I had no control over my movements. Out of nowhere, I heard the sharp sound of footsteps pounding closer, echoing ominously in the quiet night. A
Daniel POVOnce Erik informed me that John's car had been seen leaving the city and heading towards a private land approximately thirty minutes or so, to the west, I realized the area was unfamiliar territory for me. However, Rick was excellent at mapping out the layout of the land across the entire state. After leaving Sarah's apartment, Rick and I met up shortly afterward to plan our next steps.Rick had informed me that just outside the western boundary of the city, there existed a private estate whose ownership was unknown. Eager to investigate, Rick and I decided to head in that direction, each of us driving our own vehicles at a brisk pace down the road. I was deeply uncertain about whether Sarah was in any immediate danger, which heightened my sense of urgency. Consequently, I was reluctant to waste any more precious time than I already had.Approximately twenty minutes into my drive, as I left the urban area, I suddenly detected a faint yet unmistakable scent of John driftin
Sarah POVMy cheek was still burning from the sting of Mr. Lupu's slap as he continued speaking, his tone insistent and commanding. He was demanding that I obey him and divulge all of Daniel's secrets, but there was no way I was going to give in to such pressure. I felt a mixture of anger and defiance welling up inside me, determined not to betray my trust and live for Daniel. John immediately jumped in to defend me after Lupu slapped me, an act that I certainly didn't expect. I steadied myself, looked Lupu directly in his eyes, and declared firmly, "You can do whatever you want to me, but I will never betray Daniel. I'm not afraid of you, and once Daniel finds out where I am, you'll regret ever kidnapping me." I warned him with a resolute tone, making it clear that I would never betray those I cared about, no matter the threats or violence he threatened to use.Once again, John intervened at a moment when his presence was neither requested nor helpful. Nevertheless, he felt the need
Daniel POVAfter Sarah told me she had arrived home, I didn't hear from her again, even after calling multiple times. Concerned, I immediately left my apartment and headed toward her place to see what was happening. An uneasy feeling settled over me—I could sense that something was wrong through the mate bond.As I sped through the streets, I picked up my phone and dialed my mother’s number. She answered on the first ring, and I heard her warm voice say, "Hi, sweetie." However, I quickly cut her off before she could finish. "Mother, did you notice anything unusual when you and Samantha dropped Sarah off at home?" I asked, my heart pounding in my chest as if it wanted to burst. "No, sweetie, is there something wrong?" she responded, her tone filled with worry. "I'm not entirely sure, Mother. I'm on my way to Sarah's place now. Through the matebond, I can feel her anxiety and worry," I explained, trying to stay calm. "Keep your father, and I post if you need anything. Please be careful
