Ian's p.o.v
I kept quiet, staring at the lady coldly because I could only think of two things and that was. One, I was either relatively exhausted that I was seeing things that weren't real or my hearing wasn't at its best peak
"Axel, did she growl at us, and is she glaring at us right now?" I asked silently to be certain that I wasn't the only one seeing shit.
He huffed then retreated into our subconscious without a word.
His actions were rather old than pleasing ever since meeting the girl who claimed to be our mate. If it was any other girl doing the very same thing, he could have taken over and ripped her into pieces for her fucked up disrespect. But here he was, retreating and acting deaf. What was his fucking problem. Was he growing soft towards the slut because she looked innocent and pitiful?. Either way, I wasn't having that.
I pulled up my trousers and my zip without taking my eyes off of her. She had a glare across her face that was directed towards the trashy girl who was still kneeling in front of me.
I moved closer and stood in front of her calmly.
As calm as I was, I hated her disrespect so damn much.
She slightly lowered her gaze to the ground for a second but looked up to meet mine. Her eyes held anger and something else I couldn't quite pinpoint.
She opened her mouth to speak when I lifted my hand and slapped her hard across the face.
She groaned in pain and quickly covered her cheek with her hand as tears filled her eyes instantly.
Her hair was slightly ruffled and her hands trembling.
I could feel Axel's emotions yet I chose to ignore them. He was conflicted between getting angry with me or standing on my side.
I couldn't understand why he was acting like this, but I knew who the cause was, and that was the slut in front of me.
She dropped her hand slowly as tears rolled on her cheeks.
I inhaled quickly and exhaled then walked out of the room before I could do anything I didn't want to or might regret.
There was a slight twig of pain and an unexplainable feeling invading my heart. It was as if I felt bad for acting the way I did to her.
I stopped moving on the stairs and laughed softly like I was a crazy mad man.
"There is no way I feel bad. It is anger that I feel for her disrespect." I spat to myself then continued to walk downstairs.
Immediately I came outside and a smirk formed across my face.
The scent of fresh blood still filled the air and I could clearly hear screams.
"It's refreshing isn't it?" Neo asked from behind.
I turned and faced him with folded arms.
"You know how much I love to hunt and watch my prey suffer." I answered simply.
"Fancy anything in this pack?" He asked with a raised brow.
I kept quiet and brushed my hand through my hair.
Neo grew up by my side. Although we hated to admit it openly. We were more of brothers than friends. He understood me clearly and served me without question. Nothing went past him and he made sure everything went according to plan.
"A girl caught my attention." I answered in a low tone as he widened his eyes in disbelief.
"I don't mean it in that way, damn it." I quickly said.
"Then what did you mean alpha?" He asked.
"My woman has been serving me and you nicely hasn't she?. To top it all up she's got a good pussy. Don't you think she deserves a trophy of victory from another pack." I answered seriously.
He kept quiet for a second then signed loudly.
"She does. But if we are talking about trophies then jewelry would make her happier because she has a lot of underlings serving her." He answered, getting my full attention.
"You seem to know a little too well what my possession would love to have as a trophy, why is that?" I asked seriously.
It's not that I was jealous over them fucking and whispering useless promises in each other's ears. I was asking to keep a check on his loyalty. I needed him to remember who he was serving with his whole being. If I felt that his loyalty was being dragged to her I wasn't going to hesitate in ripping him apart.
"I'm your beta alpha, one of my jobs is to advise you correctly. Forgive me if I gave you doubts over my loyalty." He answered with a slight bow.
"Very well, but still do have that girl upstairs in the pack house serve her." I said.
"You mean the alpha's daughter?" He asked.
"No, there is another girl in the office upstairs. She's very stubborn and seems to piss me off with her every move. I don't want her dead because she does spark my interest a little bit. That's why I want you to gift her to my woman as her slave. I want to see how long she can last in my pack before she breaks down and wishes to take her own life." I answered with a smile.
Just the thought of breaking her mentality made me feel happy.
I hated her claim of us being mated and how she had an effect on Axel, I also didn't like the disrespect that she had and the fake courage that she fairly portrayed in front of me.
I wanted her to suffer and break down. I wanted her ruined and broken from inside out.
"Consider it done alpha." He answered.
"Good, now inform everyone to wrap everything up. We have fulfilled what we came for. Now it's time to go back home and have the best party of all time like always." I said happily as he smiled then turned and walked back to where the warriors were.
Daisy's POVI stood barefoot on the damp grass, ignoring the cold that made me shiver. My hoodie was thin, barely shielding me from the wind that made the trees rustle.I didn’t know how long I had been standing there, staring up at the moon. Maybe five minutes. Maybe an hour. The only thing I knew was that my legs were numb, and the sting behind my eyes hadn’t gone away.“Not my dad,” I whispered to myself.The words tasted bitter on my tongue.“Jay… really isn't my real dad,” I repeated.The man who taught me how to ride a bike. Who kissed my forehead every night. Who packed my lunch with sweet notes when I started high school. The man who never missed a soccer game. Who held me while I cried when I got my first heartbreak.Not. My. Real. Dad.I clenched my fists in anger as I thought about that monster—the one who hurt my mom. Him? He even had a hellish pack, and that’s where I had come from!My stomach churned.I was an Alpha. Fast. Strong. Competitive. A natural-born leader. But
Debby's POVThe door slammed like thunder behind Daisy. The silence that followed was heavier than any sound.I stood frozen in the hallway, my hands trembling and my heart beating loudly, thumping uncomfortably.I had imagined this moment before—countless times. But in all the versions in my mind, Daisy cried into my arms, forgave me, and understood everything.But this... this wasn’t one of those versions.I turned slowly, my legs suddenly getting weak as I braced myself against the wall and slid down to the floor, letting my head fall into my hands.“I'm a terrible mother,” I whispered as tears filled my eyes.“Debby?” Jay's soft voice came through.He stepped out of one of the spare bedrooms with his hair tousled from sleep.I quickly rubbed my eyes and forced a smile across my face."Why are you on the floor?" he asked immediately as he stood in front of me, extending his hand.“She knows,” I whispered. “I told her everything.”He froze for a few seconds and then sighed heavily.
Daisy's POVI woke up choking.My heart was beating loudly like a drum. Sweat clung to my skin, dampening the sheets. My breathing came in harsh, short gasps—like I’d been drowning in something dark.The dream was already slipping, but the emotions still clung.Grief, fear, helplessness.The image of a burning packhouse lingered. I saw werewolves writhing in pain, pups weeping, blood pooling under clawed hands. And that boy again—the healer—his eyes finding mine in the smoke like a ghost calling my name.Then something else. Something worse. A flash of myself, not as I was, but something feral. Covered in blood. Screaming. Alone.I gasped aloud and jolted upright when I felt a soft hand cupping my cheeks gently.“Daisy,” my mother whispered. “It’s okay. I’m here, baby. I’m here.”I blinked rapidly, my vision adjusting to the dim light filtering through my curtains.My mother sat at the edge of the bed, worry filling her beautiful face."Did I wake you up?" I asked in a low tone."No,
Daisy's POV"She's seriously not so normal. Like, how is she so good at everything?"I heard that whisper and knew who it was before I could even look at them."What are you saying? There is nothing unusual about Daisy," another calm voice asked in a whisper."Well, perhaps not on the surface," the first voice responded.I rolled my eyes and then shut my locker roughly to startle them.They instantly kept quiet and faked smiles on their faces.I sighed heavily and slowly walked towards them."Gin and Olley, if you are going to gossip, at least do it with courtesy. You can't sound like shit and act like it," I mocked as I walked past them.It was my new normal to be talked about and hated by most ladies in my college.Why? Because I was the one almost every guy liked and wanted to sleep with.Could you blame me?I was sharp-witted, with good grades.I was also known as the queen of group projects and the goddess whose kind smile professors worshiped and remembered even long after class
Kyle's POV "So, are you doing okay?" I asked Uncle August on the phone."Yes, my mate is doing much better as well," he answered simply."I'm glad," I said as I stretched myself on the couch."So, you left your pup and went to have fun?" he asked as I rolled my eyes."You are making it sound terrible, Uncle," I pointed out."Well, your pup is only six months old, and you are already out having fun with your mate," he said as I frowned."My mother was the one who encouraged us to come here. Moreover, it was a promise we made at Lui's ceremony," I answered coldly."Oh, so Amelia is looking after the pup?" he asked in a relieved tone."Of course she is. She and Dad were very happy when they knew of our plans. I kind of feel like they want to make another sibling," I answered as he laughed loudly."No way, they are just happy to be taking care of their grandpup," he said, making me smile.After the birth of my pup, they were very supportive in almost everything. My mother was very close
Kyle's POV "Aren't you going in?" Father asked as I stood outside the ward with a rapidly beating heart.I had no idea why my dad, Ian, had given my father, Axel, control, but I felt grateful. Perhaps it was because Father always knew what to say in the moment and at the right time."I feel cold feet, Father," I whispered honestly.He smirked and then moved his hand to my head, ruffling my hair gently and playfully."Son, you just have to go in; she is waiting for you," he said as I looked at him and then smiled."Always remember, we are the strongholds of our mates as they are for us. You being there for her right now will be heartwarming and ease the tension and worries she might have," he said softly."Thank you, Father," I whispered to him and then slowly grabbed the door handle and pushed it open.When Yuki came into view, I quickly went in and went to her side, embracing her with a warm smile.All the emotions I thought I couldn't feel in that moment came crashing down on me: h
