"I crave your touch; I abandoned everything to be with you," she explained, "but why haven't you touched me yet, especially now that I'm your bride?" "You want to satisfy your body's urges," he said sulkily. "I love you," she said through tears, leaning in for a kiss.

Sansa’s Pov
“Run!!”
“How long are you gonna run away, baby?” His voice was reaching my ears, instilling profound anxiety in me when I couldn’t see him, and his mere voice terrified me.
“Don’t be shy, baby, your alpha is here to claim you,” he said sweetly, making sure his voice got through to me.
I was sweating in the cold, running for how long I couldn’t remember, running as if I couldn’t stop, as if my life depended on the steps I was taking to get away.
“Baby? Where have you gone?” He was having pleasure while looking around.
I hid behind the largest rock as his soldiers passed by, trying to steady my breathing and calm my racing heart.
“Farkas saw them here near the river, so they must be around,” his guy predicted.
I peered out from behind the rock with my traumatized eyes as the man hunting me stood with his 6 men, appearing like their alpha. A strong masculine personality.
All had the longest grey beard touching their chest, long hair, dragon tattoos on their faces, and masculine bodies like their Alpha. The alpha covered his face behind the black mask.
“Bring her to me, Alive!” Alpha said as he looked around. His piercing eyes had previously stopped on me, so I moved away from him.
I held my breath as his footsteps approached, and as they became louder, I resumed my run.
My hair was flapping in the wind, my vision was fuzzy in the mist and cold, and my eyes were always looking for a secure place to hide. I was running for my life in a blue nightgown on a snowy night, barefoot. My body was as cold as ice.
The terrifying voice of various animals. In the middle of the night in a terrifying forest, I was about to lose my breath, my body was numb, and my heart was going to explode.
I looked at him when he was directly in front of me, our eyes locked, my heart raced faster than ever, and the last moment of my life arrived when I looked around and saw no one but him. I began to run oppositely.
“How long will you run?” alpha yelled behind me as he led his men after me.
“You will never escape,” he laughed louder as if I were an ant he could kill with a single modest effort. With his people, he was chasing me like a hungry hound. His dark sea eyes were fixed on me.
I observed a young woman running ahead of me a few inches. Just like me, the odd people were going to eat me alive if I didn’t flee.
She was panting, and it was painful for her to continue. Her split-second decision could lead to her death.
“Now it’s time for you to die,” he declared.
As I returned my gaze to the hunter, who was attempting to apprehend me with a long fancy stick bearing the face of a dragon on the edge.
I collided with the tree in front of me and flipped to the ground. For a few seconds, my eyesight became blurry, and I was catching my breath when my entire body became paralyzed and I felt dizzy.
As he approached me, I made every effort to move my body. With my heavy headache, I pushed my body back with both hands.
He was advancing slowly, tormenting me because he knew I couldn’t move.
“I said something, Remember?” He inquired teasingly.
“Can you tell me who you are? What do you expect from me?” I was terrified, my voice shaking.
“You can run, you can hide, but you can’t escape me,” he remarked calmly as his men gathered around him.
“I’m not sure what you’re talking about.” When he didn’t seem to acknowledge me, I remarked in a trembling voice.
“It was for your own good baby. You didn’t trust me, you didn’t believe me from the beginning,” he teased.
“I swear to God, I --- ” He interrupted me in the middle of a sentence.
“Did I not warn you? However, you did not listen,” he said.
I was quaking in the bush, wearing nothing but my blue nightgown, as I heard the sound of twigs snapping and leaves rustling, and sensed that a stranger was hunting me like a hungry dog in the night air.
I kept asking myself, “How did I get here?” What exactly is going on? I was working hard to figure it out.
“Now bear the consequence,” he whispered as his terrifying eyes locked on me.
“I don’t kn --- ” he cut me off in the middle of my sentence again.
“I am your mate, but you chose him over me,” he snarled, becoming enraged in an instant.
“Mate? My mate? I don’t underst ---,” When a stranger told me something unbelievable, I was upset about the circumstance. When he kept cutting my statement in the middle, I noticed a gathering of his men surrounding me more closely.
As he crouched down closer, he removed his black mask. The dragon tattoo covered his entire face. He had a scar on his left cheek and kept looking at me when he got on my nerves.
“What if I kill him right in front of your eyes and forcefully mark you, whether you like it or not, and make you mine?” he added seductively as he moved closer to me on his knees with a grin.
“I---” he wouldn’t let me say.
“Can you tell me how you feel about that?” he inquired softly, with a seductive tune
“Listen, you are mistaken. I am not the one you are looking for. I have never seen you before. We have never met. Trust me, I am not the---” I murmured shakily.
“Raven Elsher,” a woman’s confident voice called out from behind me.I heard the rustle of her dress as I spun around and saw the attractive woman sitting on the ground. She was expecting a child. I was astonished to hear the name of my father, who had died when I was 14 years old; how could she pronounce his name?
What was her name, and how did she know about my father? That piqued my interest and left me speechless.
Her lustrous long hair was slowly swaying to the rhythm of the breeze, and her milky face seemed even more gorgeous in the moonlight.
Anyone could fall for her when she was attractive. I’d never seen such a stunning woman in my life. When I couldn’t take my gaze away from her.
Scary Alpha was crawling in my direction on his knees, gaining closer with the passion I could feel in his eyes. My heart began to rush. I turned aside from his approach to the woman.
“He is the one, and he will be the only one,” she replied flatly, her gaze fixated on the Alpha.
When she didn’t flinch or hesitate, he slapped her across the face.
Chapter 72 The figure emerged from the shadows, acquiring shape gradually in the soft moonlight. I breathed a sigh of relief as the mysterious presence solidified. It was Levine, his face solemn and sad. My stress dissipated when I recognized him. I couldn't help but smile. "You know Xavier married Marina," I said Levine, a smile on my lips.His response was regretful, and his voice was heavy with disappointment. "Are you truly content?" Levine queried, his face betraying his anguish."Of course," I said firmly, my excitement obvious. "Finally, he has Marina by his side, the one he loves, and—"Levine spoke before I could finish, his words cutting through my excitement. "You should not be happy about it. Xavier didn't marry Marina to get away from you. He did it to keep you close, to keep you close to him forever.""What exactly do you mean?" I inquired, my perplexity growing.Levine disclosed a shocking reality to me.
Chapter 71 The voice of the Unknown Pack Leader trembled as he said what we were all thinking. "How on earth is this even possible?"As he met eyes with the Unknown Pack Leader, Levine's expression was a mix of rage and perplexity. "What are you doing here?"As we all watched the unimaginable unfold in front of us, the crowd began to murmur in a mixture of fascination and shock."I never send my guests away empty-handed, and I always offer them with enough amusement to remember for a lifetime," said Xavier with a sly grin to the Unknown Pack Leader.Members of the unknown group began brandishing their firearms and knives, bracing themselves for a fight.Levine, still stunned, turned to Xavier for answers. "What on earth is going on, Xavier?""I invited them here," said Xavier quietly. "They've come to pay the price for causing you pain."Levine's attention switched to me, his eyes inquisitive. It was a confusin
Chapter 70 As he continued to treat my wound, Xavier's fingers moved gently. "However, it is sometimes at these unexpected moments that we discover something wonderful."My cheeks flushed, and I averted my gaze, trying to disguise my emotions. "You're a philosopher, aren't you?"He leaned in closer, his words low and heartfelt. "Only when I'm with someone who changes my perspective on the world."When our gazes locked, the world around us seemed to fade away. The unpleasantness of the circumstance had evolved into a common understanding.He was different from the Xavier I knew in the present; he was kind, and he treated me properly although Xavier never treated me well in the present, not once.Xavier's words poured over me like a calm ocean wind, drawing me closer with each word. His eyes, as deep and tempting as the great sea, enslaved me. Frozen in a moment, the world around us seemed to melt away."Perhaps you're he
Chapter 69 Xavier made a quick and smooth approach. He approached my side with almost unreal slowness, every fraction of a second stretching into an eternity amid battle.His strong and soothing hand wrapped around my waist, drawing me in with an intimacy that sent thrills down my spine. Our bodies squeezed and merged. I could feel his heartbeat, a steady, repetitive beating that reverberated deep within me.My hair swirled through the air as he clutched me close. He quickly shielded me from harm's way after sensing the threat behind me that I had missed. A whispered promise of protection among the chaos.My eyes widened as I saw a horrific sight in front of us: a demon from the gigantic demon army, its body covered in the awful color of fresh blood. Its razor-sharp teeth and a crimson-stained sword made me tremble.I realized something in that heart-stopping moment. Xavier had guarded me from this terrifying peril, a brave deed hidden from view. He had put his own life in danger to
Chapter 68 Xavier, the calm voice amid the turmoil, interrupted. "Gentlemen, we must find a solution to close these mistrust and resentment gaps."Anthony, evidently irritated, fired back at Falkor. "Despite spending years hiding in the shadows, you appear remarkably self-assured, Falkor."Falkor, unfazed by Anthony's insults, reacted with a smug grin. "But, my darling vampire, the shadows frequently hold the most valuable secrets."The chamber became tenser with each exchange, weighted with hostility and the weight of history. Xavier's patience remained steadfast, a credit to his leadership. "Enough of this, you two. We are up against a shared foe who threatens us all. Isn't it time to set aside old grudges for the greater good?"Anthony's rage, a boiling tempest within, found expression in a final, cutting sentence. "I'm eager to work with anyone who sees that the past belongs in the past."Michael's voice trembled with real e
Chapter 67 My gaze stayed riveted on a heartbreaking scene amidst the upheaval and confusion that engulfed the battlefield. As three merciless Demons closed in on him, Xavier, the strong Alpha, confronted his imminent destiny with a courageous attitude. The Oak pack members and Vampires who surrounded us echoed my sense of helplessness, their features carved with dread in the face of an unbeatable foe.A revolver sat dormant in my grasp, its promise for deliverance thwarted by my hesitation. Though my heart desired to change the path of history, changing the past and the future, the intricate web of fate held me hostage. A bitter regret passed through me: if circumstances had permitted, I could have stood as Logan's beloved, free of Xavier's claim.If Xavier died here, he wouldn't be present to claim me, and the pronouncement of wonder law that united us would stay unformed. His death would not result in Levine's death, saving him from a gruesom
