Chapter Seventy : Caleb’s Captiveness

Lily's POV

Pain. That was the first thing I remembered. A throbbing ache at the base of my neck. My body ached all over, my wrists burned where the rough ropes had rubbed against my skin, and my legs ached from being immobilized in one position for so long.

And then, the blackness was ripped away.

My cloth blindfold was ripped off, and the blinding beam of bright torch burned into my eyes. I blinked repeatedly, trying to adjust, but even before my eyes had a chance to adjust, I already knew where I was.

I recognized my captor.

A shiver ran down my spine as my eyes slowly lifted—only to be met with the cold, icy glare of Alpha Caleb.

The appearance of him sent a ripple of fear rippling through me. Not because he was strong, or because he had kidnapped me in the past. Because this time… I could tell by his eyes. This time, he was not letting me go.

He towered over me, his huge body blocking the small moonlight that was able to penetrate the trees.

  • Rejected By One, Claimed By Another   The Relentless Search

    Chapter Seventy One : The Relentless SearchI hurried through the dense forest hastily, my ribcage thumping with anxiety. The giant trees cast great shadows, and the thorns lashed against my garments like trying to stop me. I was desperate to find Cara. Every second passed like an age, and worry about what may be happening to her haunted my very existence.I paused, taking a deep breath, trying to capture her scent. The forest was rich with many scents—wet earth, wildflowers, and the faint musk of animals—but none that led me to Cara. Anger swelled within me. I clenched my fists, holding back the panic building within me. I couldn't afford to lose my composure now.As I went on, the stillness of the forest was broken by the swishing of footsteps behind me. I was about to turn and face whoever dared to pursue, tense muscles at the ready. Relief washed over my body upon seeing Sophia emerging from the bushes, her cheeks flushed and breathing hard."Sophia," I said in a mix of surprise a

    Chapter Seventy Two : Cara’s Mission Cara’s POVMy whole body was shaking. My hands were cold, my legs felt weak, and my throat was so dry that I could barely breathe. I was terrified. Caleb’s grip on my arm was tight, his fingers digging into my skin. I knew he wasn’t going to let me go easily. My heart pounded so hard in my chest that I was sure he could hear it.I didn’t know what he was planning to do to me. Was he going to hurt me? Kill me? Keep me locked away forever? I didn’t know. But one thing was clear—I was trapped.Then I saw him.Damon.The moment my eyes landed on him, everything inside me changed. The fear, the panic, the hopelessness—all of it disappeared. It was like my body instantly knew I was safe. Damon was here. He came for me.Relief rushed through me so fast that tears burned my eyes.

    Chapter Seventy Three : SafetyDamon’s POVI ran through the forest, my heart pounding so hard it felt like it would break out of my chest. Sophia’s scent was getting stronger, but there was something else mixed with it. Fear. Pain. My wolf growled inside me, furious. If Caleb hurt her, I would make sure he regretted it.The trees blurred past me as I moved faster, my breath sharp. Then I heard it—struggling. A muffled cry.I pushed forward, breaking through the clearing, and my body froze in pure rage.Caleb was on top of Sophia, trying to strip off her clothes.She was fighting, pushing him away, kicking, but he was stronger, pinning her down.Caleb turned when he saw me. Instead of looking scared, he smirked.“I thought you wouldn’t come back for her,” he said, laughing. “Looks like I won.”My fists clenched so hard my nails dug into my palms. My wolf was howling inside me, demanding to rip him apart. But I needed to think. If I rushed in without a plan, Caleb could hurt Sophia bef

    Chapter Seventy Four : The Care For SophiaDamon’s POVThe room was quiet, too quiet. I sat at my desk, staring at nothing, my hands clenched into fists. The events from earlier played over and over in my mind. Caleb. Sophia. Cara. The way I had to kneel. The way Caleb laughed, thinking he had won. My jaw tightened, my wolf growling inside me, restless and angry.I hated myself.I had to do it—I had to kneel to save Sophia. But the look on my pack members’ faces, the way they had stared at me afterward… It burned inside me like a slow fire.A sharp knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts. I knew who it was before he even stepped inside.Lucas.He pushed open the door without waiting for my permission, his face hard, his dark eyes filled with something I didn’t like—doubt.“We need to talk,” he said, shutting the door behind him.I didn’t answer. I didn’t feel like talking. But Lucas wasn’t the type to back down. He walked straight to my desk, resting his hands on it as he leane

I needed air, needed to clear my mind.My hand instinctively rested on my stomach. It wasn’t noticeable yet, but I felt it. A life growing inside me, hidden from the world.I slipped out into the cool night, the fresh air filling my lungs. The scent of damp earth and pine trees surrounded me as I walked through the quiet pathways. The moon cast a soft glow, and the distant hoot of an owl was the only sound breaking the silence.I wasn’t sure where I was going. I just needed space.As I walked, my thoughts raced. Liam. Damon. My unborn child. The past. The future. Everything felt tangled, pulling me in different directions.I stopped near a clearing, closing my eyes for a moment. I had come here before, back when things were simpler. Before I learned the truth about my mate bond. Before the lies. Before the pain.But

My legs kept propelling me, but my head was still running back from what had transpired with that strange man.Liam lied to me.The truth dropped into my stomach like a weight of lead. He didn't rescue me that night. He didn't present me with the necklace. He stole it. He lied about something he never did.And because of that lie. I made the worst decision of my life.I left Damon.I clenched my fists into tight balls as I stormed the halls. Each step made the pain in my chest worse. I shouldn't have come back to this pack. I shouldn't have trusted Liam. Now, that was too late.Damon had already picked Sophia.A burning pain pierced my heart. I fought to shoo it away, but it stuck to me like a shadow.

The cool night air did nothing to seep into the burning ache in my chest. My mind could not stop reeling from everything that I had learned.Liam had lied to me.The boy who had rescued me all those years back wasn't him. He had lied to me, stolen the necklace, and pretended to be my savior. And I had trusted him.Because of that lie, I stayed with him. I ignored the love I had for Damon. I forced myself to love a man who never deserved it.And now…Damon had moved on with Sophia.My legs were trembling, yet I still walked. I didn't know where I was going exactly—I just needed answers.

    Chapter Seventy Eight : The Confrontation Damon’s POVThe air inside the cabin was thick with the lingering scent of sweat and intimacy. I ran a hand through my messy hair, exhaling slowly as I pulled my shirt over my head. Sophia stirred slightly in bed, the sheet barely covering her bare skin, but she didn’t wake up.I needed to get out of here.The moment I stepped toward the door, a sudden movement outside made me freeze. My sharp senses picked up a familiar scent—one that I had thought would never be this close to me again.Cara.A sharp pang of something—guilt, regret, something else I refused to name—hit my chest. I turned my head slightly and there she was, standing a few feet away from the doorway, her body rigid, her fists clenched so tight I could see the whiteness of her knuckles even in the dim light.Her wide eyes were brimming with emotion, her lips parted as if she wanted to speak, but I couldn’t let her.If Sophia heard her, everything would get worse.I moved faster

    Chapter 152: Something She's Keeping SecretDamon's POVThe room was peaceful.Sophia was in my arms, her head gently on my chest. She smelled of roses. Her breath was hot on my skin. Outside was quiet. No guard shouting. No wolves training. Just us. Alone. Safe.I kissed her forehead gently. She smiled faintly but did not open her eyes. She was tired. Maybe it was everything that happened today. The elders visited us earlier. They brought laughter and gifts—but tension as well. They kept reminding us that the pack needed an heir. That we owed it. A future to build.Sophia had said nothing after they left. I'd known something was bothering her. I hadn't asked. Not yet. I'd known she'd tell me when she was ready.Now, in this soft silence, I sensed her release once more."Are you alright?"

A part of me was entertained at how uneasy Sophia and Damon both were with my presence, yet they didn't have the backbone to tell me to leave. Guilt is such a potent leash. And I intended to tug it tighter.I deliberately folded my knees, watching as the curtain twitched to an imaginary dance created by a whiff of a breeze coming in through the window. Outside, the pack revelled, their laughter and cheers causing my stomach to churn—though not from envy. No, it was. enjoyment.For deep within, they knew not that their peace was what I held within my hand. And tonight, I was about to shatter.My phone buzzed on the table next to me.

    Chapter: The Search for Alec DavisDamon's POVThe night was still. Too still.I sat in my study, the gentle glow of the fire illuminating shadows in the dark corners of the room. The logs popped as I stared into the fire, my mind far away. My mind wandered back to earlier today—when the elders had come to demand an heir, when Sophia had looked at me with that mixture of hope and fear. I had told her everything would be fine, but that little ball of doubt in my chest wouldn't go away.The heir.Was I already letting her down?I had promised Sophia that I would never abandon her. To protect her. To care for her. But how could I make her so joyful when something as important as this was slipping away from us?I sighed, slouching in my chair and running my hand through my hair. I had to clear my head. But I'd already wasted hours pacing, deliberating, trying to come up with a solution.And then, the one thing that could possibly cheer her up, I remembered.Alec Davis.I had heard her onc

    Chapter: Let Them PanicCara's POVThe night was quiet. Too quiet. But I liked it that way. The moon was full, and pale silver light filtered through the glass windows of the guest room. The whole pack house had finally quieted down—no footsteps, no whispers, no elders pacing back and forth like they did during the day.I was sitting at the window, knees tucked to my chest, a warm shawl wrapped around me. The cup of tea in my hand was untouched. I did not need the heat. I was warm from something else. Laughter.Not loud and crazy.Just… soft. Silent. Deep inside me.I was smiling. And I could not stop.Not because there was anything to celebrate. Not because I was in the pack house .But because today was a good day to watch people squirm.People like Sophia and Damon.I could still remember how the elders came by earlier today, all in their dark robes, looking so somber. I was in the hallway, trying to walk by casually, when I listened in.“Alpha Damon," one of them said, "we hav

    Chapter 148 : One Heartbeat at a TimeSophia's POVLaughter in the room faded too quickly.Initially, it was a lovely night. The old people had come to the pack house with smiles and laughter, hailing Damon for the win and me and him as well for falling in love with each other. They'd brought their presents—wasted bread, stitched cloaks, even a carved wooden figure of a wolf symbolizing protection. We'd had tea, we'd chuckled, and I'd almost forgotten all the sorrow and fight leading up to it.But then. like a storm in the midst of a peaceful sea, one of the elders—Elder Mavin—scratched his throat and spoke the words that sent shivers through the whole room."It's time for an heir."Just like that.I blinked, wondering if I'd just misunderstood.The others nodded. "Yes. The pack needs an heir. It's custom. Alpha Damon has claimed his Luna… now it's time for the future to begin."I could feel all eyes on me. Damon's fingers curled beside mine. He didn't say anything, not yet. He was ca

    Chapter 147 The Visit of the Elders Sophia's POV The sun was warm and golden, its gentle light pouring in through the tall windows of the pack house living room. I sat beside Damon, his hand casually on mine. Cara, as always, in the corner of the sofa, feigning to read a book, but her gaze flicked our way every now and then. It was the first time in days that everything was quiet, as if we were breathing peacefully after weeks of chaos. The soft knock on the door stilled the room. "Who's that?" I breathed, looking at Damon. He got up, his broad shoulders moving with stealthy ease, and opened the door. And then… I saw them. Three age-old men, dressed in rich earth-tinted robes, walked in. The minute they entered, the mood transformed. These were the Pack Elders—the dignified council governing tradition, law, and legacy. Damon dipped his head, and I got up, evidencing a humble inclination of the head. "Elder Mako, Elder Linna, Elder Barro," Damon greeted them. "What do we

    Chapter One hundred and Fourty SixPlaying the Game - Cara’s POVThe room was eerily quiet, the kind of silence that hung heavy in the air. It wasn’t comfortable—nothing about this moment was. Damon sat across from me on the dark leather sofa, his posture tense, every muscle in his body radiating discomfort. Sophia sat beside him, her gaze darting nervously between me and Damon, her hands fidgeting in her lap.It wasn't easy to be here. For all the years I was with the pack, living their reality, there was still a distance between us. A wall built of betrayal, regret, and unspoken words. I knew they didn't want me here, that I was a reminder of everything that was wrong. But that didn't matter to me. What mattered was how this game was going to play out. They did not know it yet, but I had the power to choose what was going to happen next.Sophia coughed and broke the silence. She sounded soft, almost hesitant. "I've been thinking a lot," she told us, looking at Damon. "There's someth

I put my arms around her, my hand softly brushing her hair.This peace… I did not realize how much I needed it until now.Sophia looked up at me with a small smile. I bent down and kissed her forehead. Her eyes closed, and for an instant, everything was all right.Then, a knock on the door.It was light at first. Then again.
