Xander “Fuck!” I muttered under my breath, running my fingers through my hair in frustration. This was the last thing I needed on a day that was supposed to be filled with joy and celebration. My wife had just given birth to our baby Alpha, Om, and the timing of this news couldn’t have been worse.‘Let’s try again,’ Xyler growled, trying to connect our mind-link with them. I could sense their presence, but their minds were completely blocked off.‘How is it possible that we can’t link with them, Xyler? We are their Alphas. We should be able to override any blocks when necessary,’ I asked, frustration seeping into my voice.‘I don’t know! This has never happened before,’ my wolf muttered, worried.“What’s the matter, Xander?” Alex inquired, his brows pinched in confusion. He sat on the chair in front of me in my office, perplexed as to why I appeared so irritated. Sean, Steven, and Harry all glanced at me, puzzled.I stopped pacing and sighed, plopping down in my chair. “I just got a l

Xander“Play it again,” I said, frustration evident in my voice as I raked my fingers through my tousled hair. I couldn’t believe how easily Chris Harris had fooled us. But how? Were we this blind to his deeds or underestimating our enemy?“Alpha, we’ve already watched it five times. It won’t change...” Harry’s words trailed off as he saw the frustration on my face. “But then again, we can watch it for the sixth time.”He reluctantly played the tape once more, knowing it would show the same sequence of events. Chris Harris walked to the bathroom, accompanied by a guard. Five minutes later, he emerged, now sporting a beard, with the guard conspicuously absent, and a file clutched in his hand. He looked directly into the entrance camera, wearing a smug smirk, before calmly exiting the courthouse, presenting a badge to the security guard. It was a slick performance, leaving no room for doubt regarding his identity.Within minutes, the police entered the bathroom only to discover that Chri

XanderI huffed in frustration, my emotions boiling over as I paced back and forth in my office. How did I end up agreeing to this? The anger and desperation within me intensified, echoing the voice of my wolf, Xyler, echoing in my mind.‘I told you! I can’t take this anymore. Let’s get our mate back, screw everything else.’ Xyler’s voice echoed in my mind, mirroring my own sentiments.“I agree. Screw everything else!” I shouted, my emotions spiraling out of control. I kicked the chair in front of me, fueling my determination. Without a second thought, I yanked the office door open and sprinted toward the pack’s boundary. I wouldn’t let my mate endure this torment. Fuck everything and everyone in this world!I hurriedly crossed the packhouse, my steps fueled by a potent mix of determination and anguish. But as I approached the boundary, my path was abruptly blocked by Alex and Sean. Growling, I glared at them, knowing they were here to stop me from reaching my mate.“Xander,” Sean sigh

Xander“Is that another gunshot?” Sean’s voice rang out, mirroring my own apprehension. The sound reverberated through the air, heightening the urgency of our mission. Every fiber of my being pushed him to reach the cabin as quickly as possible. I could feel my heart beating like crazy. My mate is in that house. My friend Kat is in that house. My mind raced with thoughts of their safety, desperately hoping they were unharmed.I could feel my heart pounding like a drum, each beat echoing my anxiety. I attempted to establish a mind-link with Aarya. ‘Jaan, are you okay?’ I yelled in our mind-link, but the link didn’t make it through.“Come on, we need to move faster!” I urged, urging everyone to push their limits as we sprinted towards the cabin. Time was against us, and the sound of gunfire sent shivers down my spine and shook me to my core. Though I could sense Aarya’s presence through our bond, I couldn’t determine the extent of her injuries or if she was unharmed.I saw around ten men

XanderI interlaced my hands with my mate’s. She was trying to be strong, but I knew the pain was consuming for her. I pulled her to my chest as we walked towards our house. We had just buried Scott, and it was very overwhelming. It was heartbreaking to realize that someone as amazing as him was no longer in our lives.The late afternoon sun cast long shadows as we returned to the pack after burying Scott in the pack cemetery. The pack had honored him with a proper werewolf burial. Maria’s body had been sent to her family, giving them a chance to say their goodbyes. We also called the police, providing them with a partial truth regarding the situation.As we entered our home, the first thing we did was embrace our cheerful baby, Om. His presence brought light into our lives, and his curious face had a way of soothing our hearts. In his grandfather’s arms, he sensed the sadness that enveloped his parents and the pack, looking at us as if wanting to provide comfort.Mom patted Aarya’s ha
