Ambrose POV The punch landed on my jaw, but I hardly felt it. The man shook his hand as if his hand hurt from hitting me. He forgot that humans had nothing on a werewolf's strength. "What the fuck is your jaw made of?" the man barked. I held back my laughter and glared at him instead. "Don't hurt yourself. Are you going to take that mask off, or are you going to keep hiding behind it like a coward?" I sniffed the air around him, still trying to identify him. He smelled so familiar yet different. His voice also sounded like he was faking it. Then suddenly, I realized something. He was trying his best to hide his scent. He must've rubbed something on his skin like he poured a shit ton of fragrant oils all over his body or bathed in it. But if he was trying to hide his scent this hard, it meant one thing... We knew each other already. "I know you don't I? And you don't want me to know who you are? Wow, you

Charlotte POV When I first saw Dave, I was afraid, but at the same time, I was mesmerized. He moved with the grace of a panther, determined eyes, and the confidence of a predator. He was like an alabaster god come to life, long and sculpted. He captivated me with his black, soulless eyes. Time stood still when he moved closer to me, his touch woke something in me. Perhaps it was my wolf who had refused to come out no matter how much I willed it to. Will I ever become a true wolf? I had no idea. But the moment our eyes met, I knew I wanted to be his more than anything. He thought I was some silly little naïve girl who wasn't aware of the darkness that loomed over him. But it was quite the opposite. I knew as soon as we met. I've met vampires before, but he wasn't anything like them. His energy was different, and it was evil. He had his eyes on Analyn, and it wasn't because he was in love with her.

Analyn POVA few more weeks passed by. Nothing was done about my father yet other than Ambrose throwing him in prison. Then, a rumor about a war between humans and werewolves started circulating. It wasn't too far-fetched as people didn't want to understand why their president was held captive.I should make a statement as his daughter to explain things, but my mental health has been a mess ever since that day.And also, the drama between Charlotte, Dave, and Theo was starting to become a huge issue.Amidst all this chaos, Konrad was starting to show his powers already. I was shocked beyond belief when I saw it for the first time because he is nothing but a toddler!It happened when he was sleeping. I had put him in his crib and proceeded to step out of the room but stopped when I saw something strange at the corner of the room.At first, it looked like a dark blob, so I thought it was just a circular shadow of something. Bu

Analyn POV "President Sabado, you betrayed your own kind by breaking the peace treaty between humans and the werewolves. What do you have to say about that?" Ambrose's voice was low and deep. I could tell he was seething, his eyes were bright green, but they were on the verge of changing as they glowed from green to amber. "I have nothing to be ashamed of. This world was meant for us humans, not filthy monsters like you!" my father snarled. "Then I have no choice but to execute you," Ambrose announced. The crown surrounding us murmured. I knew Ambrose was angry, but this was a rash decision. I was angry too, but the man still raised me. I couldn't let him die just like that. "You can't!" I protested. "Are you questioning my decision?" he narrowed his eyes. I knew I shouldn't question him since he was the alpha, but this wasn't only the decision to protect his pack. This was about the life of a person who raised

Dave POVI stared at her, waiting for her reply.I could sense the storm that was going inside her head trying to figure out who she should choose. It made me furious because if it wasn't for that beta, we wouldn't be in this situation. How can there be any doubt about who she should be with? She was carrying my child. I confessed my love for her!"Well, tell me." I pressed her. "Do you like him? Do you want to be with him? Even if he's supposed to be your destined mate, I want you to be with me.I will treat you like a queen," I said as I stroked her cheeks. "I don't want him," she said. Her voice was soft and meek, her eyes were tearing up again. "Are you sure? I don't want to see you unhappy," I said. "But if you want him too, I'm afraid I have to leave because I don't share," I said firmly."I don't want to be with him. I only want to be with you," she said. She sounded a little more sure this time. "Good, the
