ANMELDENDaniel 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
Sarah POVI wasn't expecting to run into John anytime soon, let alone ever, after such an incredible weekend spent with Daniel. Why does John always have to be the one to spoil everything?I reached into my pocket carefully, trying to silently extract my phone while John was preoccupied with the muscular man who had just forcibly broken down my apartment door. I slowly and deliberately pulled my phone out, making sure not to draw any attention to myself or cause any further disturbance.As I was in the midst of searching for Daniel's phone number, someone abruptly snatched my phone away. I looked up quickly and saw John holding it in his hand, a smug expression on his face. "What do you think you're doing?' he demanded, his tone sharp and confrontational. I clenched my jaw and responded with equal parts anger and disdain, "What do I think I'm doing? You have some nerve coming to my home and questioning me. Who is this man to you, by the way?' My voice dripped with venom, clearly radi
John POVI managed to escape the territory just moments before those enormous wolves viciously attacked me. After reaching my car, I immediately dialed Mr. Lupu, questioning in my mind: What kind of trouble had he dragged me into?Mr. Lupu, can you tell me what this place is? Why did you send me here in the first place? Were you aware that there are massive wolves roaming around this area? I could hear his deep breathing through the phone, which made me realize how dangerous this situation might be.Calm down, John. I need to make sure we've got the right location, he stated calmly. Did he just admit to using me as bait? I shouted in surprise and anger as he chuckled over the phone. "Did you use me as bait?" I demanded. "Come to my office tomorrow morning. There's a lot that I need to discuss with you," he said, his tone serious, before abruptly ending the call to avoid my reply.I arrived at Mr. Lupu's office on Saturday morning as he had requested. Despite my initial reluctance and
Sarah POVI never thought this day could become any more extraordinary, yet it truly did. This afternoon began with a joyful, playful bonding session in the woods, where I shared an intimate, lively moment with Daniel's wolf, Luca. The connection was deeply fulfilling and added a special touch to the day. Later, we enjoyed a beautiful dinner together, surrounded by good food and warm conversation with Daniel. Throughout the evening, I was reminded of how much Daniel means to me, especially when he told me I am his soulmate and expressed his desire to be with me forever. Despite hearing these heartfelt words, I was taken aback when, just four days after I confessed my love for him, he unexpectedly proposed marriage. The entire day was filled with surprises and emotions that I will cherish forever.The proposal took place by the tranquil, moonlit pond, creating a breathtaking scene that seemed lifted from a dream. As he carefully knelt down on one knee, a wave of certainty washed over
