تسجيل الدخولI shuddered as the door slammed shut. I sat there, weeping profusely.“What have I gotten myself into?” I thought to myself as I instantly began to regret not listening to Raphael when he tried to talk me out of leaving the pack on my own in search of my son.At least I would have been safe, and maybe my son would have been found. But I acted the way any mother would have acted. I couldn't just sit back, watch, wait, and do nothing when his father was out with another woman and her child, leaving his own blood in the hands of strangers.But now things have spiralled out of control. Maybe my son had probably been found, or maybe he was still missing, I didn't know.To make matters worse, even if I wanted to, I couldn’t confirm if he had been found or not because I was now in bondage in a strange land. I no longer had my phone because it got lost in the forest. There's now no way for anyone to reach me or otherwise.Will they even know I have become a slave? Will Jackson even care to f
“Silence!!!” A male voice roared at me as his figure filled the doorway. He was tall, and had a broad shoulder, but I couldn't see his face immediately.My hands flung to my mouth, immediately silencing myself as I quickly crawled to a corner."So," he turned to the girl who had been pushed in before he walked in, his voice dripping with authority as he took a step into the room. “I heard you've been a pain in the throat as usual.” He clenched his jaw, but the young lady didn't even flinch. Instead, her face remained on the floor.He hissed.“Silly little thing! You think you're what exactly?” He inquired, expecting no obvious answer. “I'm sure you would be able to learn your lesson after spending time here. That's the reward for your continuous defiance….”As he kept speaking to her, I couldn't exactly tell if she was just a random offender, a maid or a slave, but one thing was sure, she must have done something that warranted her being brought there because what she did next shocke
“Who is out there?” I yelled again, flashing my light in various directions, searching for anyone who could be lurking in the dark.Of course I got no response. Instead, all I got was complete and absolute silence. I caught a weird unfamiliar scent which was quite strong but I was unable to recognize.For a moment, I thought it was warriors from our pack.“Maybe Raphael has eventually sent warriors to look for me.” I thought to myself.“Did Jackson order them to bring me back?” I muttered to myself under my breath.“Who is there?” I yelled again, trying to summon all the courage I had left.Still, there was no response.“Look, I don't know who you are or who sent you out here, but if you're trying to scare me, trust me when I say it's not working. The earlier you show yourself, the better it will be for all of us.”Honestly, I don't know where the courage to say all those words came from, because boy was I scared? Hell yeah, I was terrified.I then spoke further, “If Jackson asked you
Hearing Sophia’s voice, Jackson's expression immediately turned into concern. One I couldn't find in his eyes even after we had informed him that his own son had been kidnapped.“What is going on? What's happening to Lily? She has a fever? How high?" He turned away from me, his voice softening. "Okay, okay. I'll send the pack doctor to the resort. I'll be on my way back soon. Yes, I know it's scary. Just keep her cool and—"I honestly do not know where the courage came from, but I snatched the phone from his hand and threw it across the garden.The guards stood in shock, their jaws dropping. Even Raphael was dumbfounded."What the hell is wrong with you? Have you lost your freaking mind?" Jackson roared like a mad dog."What's wrong with me? Have I lost my mind? Yes! I have completely lost my mind, Jackson!” I snapped back, angrily.“Our son has been kidnapped, and you're worried about Sophia's daughter having a fever!" I was shaking with rage. "Lily probably has a cold, Jackson! A me
The garden below was dark and empty, but there was no sign of my son anywhere."No, no, no, no." I spun around, checking under the bed, in the closet, behind the curtains. "Jake! Baby, where are you?""Elena!" Raphael burst through the door, three warriors behind him. "Where's Jake?""He's gone! The window… someone took him!" My voice broke into sobs. "They took my baby!"Raphael immediately went to the window, examining the frame. His finger traced something carved into the wood, and his face darkened."What is it?" I demanded, noticing his expression."Feels like a symbol. I've seen it before, but I can't place it." He turned to his warriors. "Send word to Alpha Jackson immediately. Tell him his son has been kidnapped.""Kidnapped?" The word made my legs give out. I collapsed onto the floor, clutching Jake’s stuffed wolf to my chest. "No. No, this can't be happening.""We need to search the perimeter. They couldn't have gotten far." Raphael pulled out his phone, dialing rapidly. "Al
Honestly, I had no answer to Jake's question, because I didn't know how to explain to my son why his father kept making another woman's child his priority.That evening, after putting Jake to bed early, I went to find Jackson. He was in his study, reviewing some pack document plans."We need to talk," I said from the doorway.He didn't look up. "I'm busy.""It's about Jake." I said, refusing to let him shun me away."What about him?" He asked, uninterested.I stepped inside, closing the door behind me. "You hurt him today. In the garden.""I didn't hurt him. I was spending time with Lily." He responded casually, feeling no remorse for hurting his son's feelings."And ignoring your own son in the process!" My voice rose despite my efforts to stay calm. "He asked for five minutes on that swing, Jackson. Five minutes. But you couldn't even give him that.""Lily was upset—""Jake is five years old! He doesn't understand why you treat Lily better than him! Lily is not even your daughter, y
