KENDRA'S POV

After everything Dexter put me through, I reached a point where I understood that relying on a man of his character was no longer an option for me.

He could only blame himself for what I was about to do to him! The person who was closest to him now was Tony, and I was sure that he knew everything that there was to know about the pack.

The thought of that man alone triggered a throbbing in my head. Tony wasn't a fan of me. So how was I supposed to get him to fall for my charm and get on my side?

I shrugged my shoulders and went to seek out Tony.

I came across him sitting by the bar's window, enjoying a drink. I found out pretty easily that Tony's a regular at this bar, so I swung by hoping to see him.

I took a deep breath as I approached him. I kinda hoped the alcohol would help him drop his guard.

“Tony, this is such a surprise running into you here! What's the deal with you sitting here all by yourself

  • STOLEN BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA   71: The Library

    KENDRA'S POVBack in my bedroom, I paced up and down the floor. Tony was of no help to me. After I sat there listening to him vent about being passed over to become Beta, and getting him drunk, he still didn't let me in on where Dexter was keeping Daisy. I had to find her for myself.I waited for it to get dark, then I stealthily slipped out of my room when I felt like the coast was clear. I was out walking for an hour, not sure where I was headed, when a comment from Tony suddenly made sense. Dexter was keeping Daisy in the last place I would go. Could that have been a hint from him?It suddenly popped into my head. The library was the only place I didn't like visiting. I wasn't much of a reader, plus too many books kinda freaked me out a bit. The library sat in the east of the yard. I hurried over to the east building, my heart pounding in my chest. Since Daisy left, Dexter started to spend the majority of his free

  • STOLEN BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA   72: Home Wreckers

    DAISY'S POVI was pissed off, tired and hungry, but most of all, I was worried about Zordon and why he hadn't come to save me. I wish I could fight, but the poison they injected me with was still in my veins, making me weak. Dexter was still here, taunting me, telling me how much he loved me and how much I loved him. I didn't know how much more of this I could take. "I told you, Dexter, I am not in love with you. I just want you to leave me alone. I have a mate I need to get back to. Besides, you are the one who sold me for your own personal benefits. So why are you trying to act like you care about me all of a sudden?" I asked him, an annoyed look on my face. "Can you please just eat, Daisy? I know you hate me. You've been here for almost five days, and you haven't eaten or drunk anything. I can hear you heartbeat weakening. So please just listen to me and do as I tell you."I sighed as he used his thumb to rub my lips. He smiled at me, scooping up more food as he tried to feed me

    DAISY'S POV"I will not reject my mate," I huffed. “So don’t even get that in your head.”"Are we not looking at the same article?" Dexter let out a loud laugh. I went and stared at it again. I couldn't believe my eyes. This was impossible. This must be an old issue, one that was distributed months before Zordon met me. But the date showed this was four days ago. He told me he was off to fight a war with some rogues because they were wreaking havoc on the borders of the Baywatch Pack. Could it be that he was secretly seeing Isla behind my back? Could this be why she hated me so much? Because I had the alpha she wanted. Could I be yet a second-time victim of infidelity?I couldn't even swallow the lump in my throat. Not even when I got injected with poison did I feel this weak. My body felt like it didn't belong to me. I growled, turning my head away from the newspaper. "Get it away from me." "No!" Dexter barked. "I want you to see it. Look at the man you want to choose instead

  • STOLEN BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA   74: Mistake

    KENDRA'S POVI found myself at the bar again. Tony was still there, drinking up a storm. "Hey, you're still here?" I said as I took a seat in front of him. "It's my day off and this is what I do on my day off." He ordered more liquor, and it impressed me to see how composed he still was after consuming so much alcohol. "What brings you back here? You're the Luna shouldn't you be enjoying your time somewhere else?" he rolled his eyes while he sipped on his drink. He was annoyed, I had to do or say something to get him interested in me. "You’re right. I wish my husband would take me out on a date, but I guess I'm not as pretty as Daisy," I shrugged. “So I'm left all alone while he plays with her in the basement of the library.” Tony’s head snapped to meet my gaze. “So you finally found her.”“Thanks to your hint,” I smirked. “I don’t know what you are talking about,” he let out with a crooked smile on his lips. Our eyes were connected far too long that he had to clear his throat a

  • STOLEN BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA   75: Where Is She?

    KENDRA'S POVTony's eyes glowed as his canines came out. He shoved me away from him. "My wolf would rip you to shreds before he ever let you make such accusations about us," he grunted. "I am respecting you the best I can because you're the Luna, but don't you think it's a bit too much for you to be acting so shameless?" Tony asked me, a hint of disgust on his face. "Yes, we slept together, but you don't have to be behaving so unladylike now.""Oh, please. It's okay for men to say that they love sex, but I can't say the same thing. You gave me what Dexter hasn't been able to give me this whole time. Of course, I want to savour this moment as much as I can. I don't think I am such a terrible person for that," I snapped.I watched as he finished getting dressed, and just as he was about to leave the room, I grabbed his arm. "What are you doing? Let go of me!" He snapped at me. "I'm sorry for threatening to lie about what happened between us, but I just have a question for you, Tony. H

    ZORDON'S POV"Don't touch me. I can get out of the car myself," I barked at Isla as she struggled to ease me out of the vehicle. I was just happy to be home. I needed to see Daisy.Although Elder Elric had tried to stop me from taking the elixir that would give me back my strength, I took it anyway. He said it would help me regain my strength but when the potion wore off I'd become weak again for a few days, but I didn't care. I just wanted to get back to Daisy and make sure that she was fine. "I'm just trying to help you, Alpha. I still don't believe it was healthy for you to travel back to the pack so soon," she said, and I didn't understand why she was trying to keep me away from my pack. The guards at the gates came to greet me and I immediately sensed that something was wrong. "Tell me what happened?" "OK Alpha, but let's go talk in your office," he bowed. ******I stared at the guard, a cold look on my face. "What do you mean, she's missing?""Alpha the Luna has been miss

    DAISY'S POV"You didn't think it was important for me to be found? You really wanted to get rid of me so much?" I felt my wolf struggling to stand, and I was sure she wanted to shift and rip Isla's throat out.My heart was burning in anger as I glared at the so-called beta.I had always known that there was something odd about this woman, but I didn't know that she wanted to get rid of me so badly. She actually said it wasn't important for me to be found. The audacity of this bitch. Zordon walked over to me with joy in his eyes. He grabbed my shoulders, and he stared at me like he was looking at diamonds for the first time. "Are you hurt? Nothing happened to you, right? What took place in the first place? How did you manage to go missing? Tell me all about it and I will make sure the person who did this pay!" Zordon added. I pushed him away from me and focused on Isla, who did not dare to meet my eyes. I wasn't over seeing them all lovey-dovey on the front page of the newspaper.

    DAISY'S POVZordon froze. "You don't need to worry about that. Listen to me and let this go. What is important is that you are back. We need to find the person who did this to you and make them pay!" Zordon replied. "You don't need to find anyone. I am well aware of the person who did this to me. I just want to know what's going on," I answered firmly. "Well, if you must know, the Alpha —," Isla began but Zordon cut her off with a snarl. "What did I say about speaking out of terms?" She bowed her head in submission. Zordon faced me. "We ran into a little problem while we were fighting with the rogues. But it wasn't anything significant. I am fine now. You don't have to worry!" Zordon explained. "How can you say that it wasn't a big deal, Alpha? You almost lost your life. Do you know how worried I was about you?" Isla said. I sneered at her. She was sure acting like his wife. "Shut up Isla. Didn't I tell you not to talk about this? Besides let's talk about the things that you

  • STOLEN BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA   165: Epilogue

    DAISY'S POV The house was finally still. Zion was fast asleep in his own bed, curled up with his stuffed wolf tucked beneath one arm. He'd insisted he wasn't tired, then passed out mid-sentence while telling me his version of a bedtime story, which, naturally, included dragons, glowing swords, and a lot of heroic howling. Zahra, our six-month-old daughter, was tucked into her crib in the nursery. The faint sound of her gentle breaths echoed through the baby monitor beside the bed. She'd been fussy earlier, but a warm bottle and a lullaby had done the trick. Now her tiny hands rested over her heart, lips parted in a peaceful dream. For the first time in days, everything was quiet. And for the first time in weeks, we were alone. I stood at the foot of our bed wearing one of Zordon's oversized t-shirts. I had unbuttoned it just enough to tease. My body still hadn't completely returned to its pre-baby shape, not that I had I tummy, I was way curvier than I was before I got preg

  • STOLEN BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA   164: Papa

    ZORDON'S POVZion was supposed to be napping.Instead, he was orchestrating what I could only describe as a chicken rebellion, armed with a stick, a feather, and a very serious scowl.I stood on the porch, arms folded, watching as my son attempted to "train" the chicks like miniature soldiers. They, in turn, had formed a sort of panicked flock and were darting around in circles while he shouted instructions that made no sense whatsoever."Line up, soldiers!" he barked, tripping over his own feet and landing in the mud with a giggle.Daisy gave her running after him and came to stand behind me, she sighed lovingly. "You should probably stop him before he declares war on the garden."I didn't move. "He needs to learn about leadership.""Zordon."I glanced at her over my shoulder. She was glowing, in that maddeningly beautiful way she always did when she was pregnant. Her hair was braided back from her face, her dress loose and light, and one hand was settled protectively over her belly.

  • STOLEN BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA   163: Three Years Later

    DAISY'S POVThree Years LaterZion was barefoot again.I could hear his laughter before I saw him, high and wild, the kind that only belonged to children who had never known fear. His little legs darted through the tall grass like he belonged to it. Thick, dark curls tangled in the wind, dirt streaked across his cheeks, and a dandelion stem stuck behind one ear."Zion!" I called, not really trying to stop him.He spun once, arms flung wide like wings, before he took off running again this time toward the coop. A dozen chicks scattered in every direction, their little peeps rising in alarm.Zordon stood on the porch, arms crossed over his chest, a familiar scowl tugging at his mouth. "That boy is menace to our livestock."I stepped up beside him, one hand resting on the curve of my belly, the other slipping into his. "They adore him.""They fear him.""They follow him," I said, leaning my head against his shoulder. "There's a difference."Zordon snorted but didn't argue. Instead, he ki

    DAISY'S POVA few nights later, the palace felt almost too quiet.Just the hush that comes when everyone else has gone to sleep, and you're left alone with your thoughts.Zordon lay beside me, already half-asleep. One arm was draped across me and our son, the weight of his hand warm and steady. He always slept that way now. Like he thought he could protect the baby even in dreams.I wasn't tired. Or maybe I was, but the exhaustion felt too big to settle. Like my body didn't know how to turn off yet. My brain kept replaying the day on a loop, our vows, the sound of the crowd, the gold circlet still pressing faintly into my forehead like it had left a mark.A crown. A child. A future I could barely begin to understand.Eventually, I drifted off. Not gradually. It was more like falling, like one blink and the world shifted beneath me.******I was standing in a field I'd never seen before.Moonlight poured from the sky like rain, so bright and clean it made everything shimmer. The grass

  • STOLEN BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA   161: The Birth

    DAISY'S POVThe forest had changed since the war, but only just.New green pushed up through old ash. Flowers bloomed where fire once scorched the earth. Trees whispered again, not in warning, just in welcome.Zordon and I walked hand in hand along the narrow path, the one we'd taken long ago when everything between us had been tension and doubt. Back then, I wasn't sure I believed in fate. I wasn't sure I believed in us.Now?His hand was warm in mine, steady and strong. My feet moved slower than they used to thanks to the weight I carried, but I didn't mind. The baby kicked every so often, reminding me that time was short. That soon, we'd be three."You're quiet," Zordon said softly, brushing a low-hanging branch out of my way."I'm thinking.""Dangerous."I gave him a sideways look, but I smiled. "What will we name him?"He paused. "I don't know. I thought you should do the honors, since you are the one who will birth him.""I see," I said, exhaling.The wind stirred through the le

  • STOLEN BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA   160: The Ceremony

    DAISY'S POVThree days after Zordon proposed, I stood at the edge of Mooncliff Summit, dressed in white and shaking in my boots.Well, technically I was barefoot. The seamstress had tried heels, but I had nearly broken my ankle so we settled on soft, woven sandals that I'd kicked off somewhere near the top of the cliff. My feet pressed into the warm stone now, grounding me in a way nothing else could.I kept my hands over my belly, partly out of instinct, partly because it helped me breathe. The baby was quiet this morning. Still and peaceful. Maybe he sensed the magnitude of today. Maybe he was waiting, just like the rest of the world.Thousands had gathered below. Wolves from every surviving pack. Elders. Witches. Seers. Even some humans who knew of our existence. People who had once hated each other now stood side by side. I wasn't sure if it was unity or just exhaustion, but either way, they came.They came to see us.To see me.I still couldn't wrap my head around it.Zordon stoo

    DAISY'S POVThe morning after Luna Evelyn's visit arrived with golden sunlight and the smell of cinnamon drifting through the air.Zordon had already left the bed by the time I woke up. I stretched, my hand resting lightly on the curve of my belly. A quiet flutter reminded me that our little one was growing stronger every day.Slipping on a robe, I padded into the sunroom and stopped in my tracks.Zordon was there and he was shirtless, barefoot, and standing over a small table set for two on the balcony. Steam curled from two mugs. Plates of fruit, eggs, fresh bread, and that cinnamon I'd smelled were perfectly arranged. Wildflowers in a simple jar sat in the center."You cooked?" I asked, blinking in surprise.He shrugged. "I bribed someone to help. But I did stir the eggs."I laughed and moved toward him, kissing his cheek before sitting down.We ate slowly, talking about everything and nothing. For a while, it was just us again. No Luna Evelyn. No war. No titles."Come take a walk

    DAISY'S POVTwo months had passed since the war ended, yet the air still carried the scent of smoke and death.We had won. The bloodshed was over. But peace wasn't as quiet as I thought it would be. It pulsed beneath the surface like the earth was still bracing for another storm.Dexter's trial had finally ended. He sat alone in the depths of Pine Hollow, sealed away in a cell built for the worst of our kind. Silver-lined walls, enchanted locks, constant guard rotations. But the Council and the Pinewood people had chosen something far worse than death for him.He had been stripped of his wolf.The bond to the moon, the magic in his blood, the power that once made him Alpha, it was all gone. Just like that. No more shifting. No more heightened senses. No more pack. They carved the beast out of him and left only a man behind.And his sentence? To live as the man he truly was. Weak and cruel and hollow. Then I topped off his sentence by sending him to work in the very barracks he once se
