⭐Klaus POV⭐
Blood…
I smelt a very unique scent of blood that made me and my wolf go crazy. It was early in the morning and I was out for a run deep in the forest securing the territory of my pack when I caught it.
It filled my nostrils and overpowered my senses. I felt an unexplainable urge to run faster to reach the source of this blood.
It felt like my life depended on it.
The scent of the blood was rooted at the borders of the storm pack territory. I halted and finally found the reason for the blood. There was a body on the ground drowning in a blood.
A woman’s body.
Shit who the fuck is she?
The scent was absolutely intoxicating. I needed to get closer and check that girl but if I stepped in, just one step, I would be trespassing on this pack territory and it could cause a vicious war between the two packs.
I kept jumping up and down completely crazed and anxious
Fuck it.
I shifted back, took a deep breath before conjuring some clothes on me and I stepped in. I ran towards her by the time I reached her I was out of breath.
Sigma… sigma… my Sigma
I heard my wolf scream inside my head and howling the moment I saw her beaten up face covered in blood. I froze and felt a chain wrapping my heart and locking my soul to her. I was only breathing for her.
She was half naked and looked like she has been whipped. Every cut on her body was oozing blood.
What the hell happened to her? Who did that?
Scared that I might get caught, I took off my shirt and put it on her. The second I touched her I felt a zap run through my body. She was like a magnet that pulled me towards her unwillingly.
Mark her now… she is mine.
I gritted my teeth at what kind of ideas my wolf was thinking of. I couldn’t mark her without her consent.
I quickly picked her up and ran pack towards my territory then I teleported instantly to the nearest hospital.
“Help”
“Somebody help me … please”
Two nurses rushed towards me with a stretcher. I laid her down on it, and then they started to run checks on her.
“What happened to her?”
“I don’t know. I found her like that”
They took off my shirt and both girls gasped loudly when they saw the signs of torture on her body.
“Is she going to be okay?” I started to panic now.
“It looks like she has been brutally raped” one of the girls replied back to me and I was stunned.
“Get Dr. Kim here” she talked with the other nurse and then they took her to the operating room.
I watched them close the doors and sat down on the benches waiting for her to come out.
Raped…
She was raped… someone raped our sigma wolf.
I just wanted to shift and tear everything down. I was enraged.
I will snap his neck under my claws, if I find that man.
“Here you go”
I looked up and saw one of the male nurses in front of me with a shirt in his hand. I took it and put it on then he handed me some forms and asked me to fill it but of course I knew nothing about her.
RING … RING
I picked my phone, it was Sam. my beta.
“Where the hell are you? You were supposed to be at the company about an hour ago. We have an important meeting and a business deal to be discussed” Sam screamed at me.
“I found her”
“What?”
“I said I found her”
“Who?”
“My Sigma”
“What the hell are you talking about Klaus?”
“Cancel everything now”
I hung up the call when I saw the Dr. coming out. I strode towards her and she took off her mask.
“How is she doing?”
“Are you her husband?”
“Yes … No. I mean I am the one who found her”
“She is still in danger. She lost a lot of blood. She was raped by more than one man and that led to her miscarriage”
“She was Pregnant?” I gasped loudly.
“Yes. She also suffered from severe beating on most of her body by some kind of whip or a belt. She has marks all over her”
I looked at the Dr. shocked and confused.
“Can I see her now?”
“She is transferred to a private room now on the third floor”
I left the Dr. and ran up the stairs to where she was. I entered the room and here she was.
A dagger was twisted into my heart when I saw the state she was in.
Fragile and weak …
I walked towards the bed and she had tubes connected to her body and monitors beeping, checking her breathing and heartbeats.
I stood next to her and fought the urge to really mark her right here, right now…
⭐Aria POV⭐The tip of the dagger fell fast—too fast.I saw it descending like death made solid, cutting through the air with a whistle of finality. It was aimed straight for my heart… or worse, for the life growing inside me.Instinct took over.My hand flew to my stomach, shielding the only pure thing left in this nightmare. My other arm raised to fight—to claw, to grab, to survive. But before I could touch her—before I could stop her—The dagger froze.Suspended. Inches from my chest.My breath caught. I looked at her wondering why she stopped.The witch’s brows furrowed, her hand trembling around the weapon that should have already cut me open. Her eyes darted sideways, confused. Alarmed.She wasn’t alone.Kaden, too.He was standing behind her, and for the first time since I woke up in this hell…They looked scared. Truly, deeply scared.His eyes darted around the chamber, suddenly alert—as if the air itself had shifted. The witch stiffened, her breath hitching.They both felt it.
⭐Aria POV⭐I thought he was gone. I thought all of them were no longer in my life.I thought I’d buried the memory of that night deep enough to never face it —never face any of them again. But life had a cruel way of tearing open wounds you thought had scarred over.I stood frozen, breath caught in my throat, eyes fixed on the shadow that emerged from the far end of the temple chamber. The warm, flickering light from the torches danced against the stone, casting his features in and out of view—but it was enough.Enough to recognize him.Enough to make my blood run cold.My mind struggled to catch up, confusion clouding every thought. It was like staring into a nightmare that had stepped out of the past and made itself real again.He moved forward, one step—calm, unhurried.“Carl…” The name slipped from my lips, barely a whisper. A ghost of sound meant more for myself than for him.But he heard it.He smiled.A slow, smug curl of his lips that sent ice crawling up my spine.He took a

⭐Klaus POV⭐I intently watched Mika as she closed her eyes, her fingers curling tightly around the stick. The room fell into a hush so profound it felt like time itself was holding its breath.“I will speak only of what I see,” she said, her voice was low but laced with authority, she no longer cared that she stood in the presence of king Henry and me. “If anyone recognizes the place I describe, just say yes. No interruptions. No one touches me. No one stops me.”A beat of silence followed—thick, absolute.No one dared to speak. Not even a breath stirred the air.Then… nothing.For five long minutes, Mika remained still. Not a twitch. Not a flinch. She sat like a stone carved by the gods, her expression blank, almost too still—as though she wasn’t really here anymore. Her chest barely moved. Her lips parted slightly, but no words came.She looked like she had fallen asleep in the middle of a graveyard—like she was surrounded by ghosts only she could see.The tension grew unbearable. M
⭐Klaus POV⭐I stood stone-still in the war room, but inside… I was burning alive.My chest heaved like I’d just run through fire. One hand gripped the edge of the table so tightly my knuckles turned white, the other was buried deep in my pocket, clenched around the pregnancy test like it was the last tether to my sanity.I hadn’t let it go.I couldn’t let it go.the confirmation of a child, My CHILD, somthing that I never got to dream about. This stick had become more sacred than any other thing I’d ever held. It was proof that Aria had been here. That she was mine. That someone had stolen everything from me.And now I could feel the beast beneath my skin—my wolf—howling to be let loose. My bones ached from holding him back, from keeping myself caged while she was out there… taken.Mika stood in front of me, her expression unreadable—like she was standing at the edge of a storm, unsure if it would destroy her or pass her by. Of course that storm was me.My mother stood beside her, her
⭐Aria POV⭐I opened my eyes to pitch blackness. At first, I thought I was still dreaming—trapped in the nightmare that had haunted me before the ceremony. But this… this was worse. This was real. I had been taken. And I didn’t know what happened to Klaus. Was he dead? Alive? The air was damp and heavy, and the silence so thick it rang in my ears like a scream buried too deep. Pain bloomed behind my eyes, sharp and throbbing, as if something had cracked open inside my skull. My head was pounding, my thoughts scattered like broken glass. I reached up instinctively, my fingers brushing against a tangled mess of hair and a dried smear of something—blood?—on my temple. “What the hell happened to me?” My voice was hoarse, barely more than a whisper. It sounded foreign in the emptiness. Flashes came in disjointed fragments—the wedding, Klaus at the altar, his eyes on mine, the soft tremble of my hands in his… then nothing. A void. Darkness swallowed everything which made me wonder if
