Aurelia's POVI quickly jumped up to my feet the moment I heard the room door open. My heart raced in my chest as I stood trembling, hoping it wasn't Alpha Dante coming to punish me for trying to escape earlier. But to my relief, it was Danciana, the pack's doctor, who entered the room. She approached me with a kind smile, asking how I was doing and how my night was. I desperately wished I could answer her verbally, but my voice had been taken from me.Danciana handed me a book and a pen, signaling for me to scramble my response upon its pages. I took the pen with shaky hands and wrote down that I wasn't fine. She glanced at my words and nodded, understanding the weight of my suffering. "It's normal for you to not be fine, Aurelia," she said softly, her eyes filled with empathy. "You have a mate who doesn't care about you, who only wants to hurt you." The truth of her words struck me deep, and I trembled at the realization of my predicament.Danciana closed the door, creating a sense

Aurelia's POVI sat on the cold, hard floor of my cramped room, feeling the weight of exhaustion seeping into my bones. My mind was clouded with a mix of fear, frustration, and desperation. Each passing day felt like an eternity, and I yearned for freedom with an intensity that consumed me.Suddenly, the familiar sound of the door clicking open snapped me out of my reverie. I looked up to see Lucas, one of the pack members, entering the room carrying a tray of food. He placed it on the small table and announced that my meal was ready. The aroma of warm, nourishing food wafted through the air, enticing my senses.I rose from the floor, my body aching and protesting the movement. With weary steps, I approached Lucas, who stood there watching me. As I reached him, I mustered all the courage I had left and gently placed my hands around his neck, standing on my toes to bring myself closer to him. His eyes widened with surprise, and he cautiously asked what I was doing.My heart pounded in

Aurelia's Point Of ViewI was tired. Exhausted, really. It felt like an eternity since I had been confined to this desolate, secluded room. The walls were bare, the air stale, and the floor cold against my tired body. I had tried to force myself to sleep, lying there on the hard ground, but my mind was too restless to find any solace in slumber.Just as I was beginning to drift into a fitful doze, the door suddenly swung open with a resounding bang. Startled, I jolted upright, my heart pounding in my chest. Through the hazy fog of sleep, I struggled to make out the figure standing in the doorway. It was Alpha Dante, my heartless mate. His presence in my tiny prison was both unexpected and perplexing.Alpha Dante wasted no time. He swiftly strode toward me, his purposeful steps echoing in the empty room. Before I could gather my thoughts or utter a word, he reached out and firmly clasped my hand, pulling me up from the frigid floor. Confusion flooded my mind as questions raced through

Aurelia's Point Of ViewI glanced outside the window, my eyes tracing the familiar road as Alpha Dante expertly navigated the car through the winding streets. The morning sunlight bathed everything in a warm glow, casting delicate shadows on the passing buildings. It was a beautiful day, and I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness as we neared our destination.Alpha Dante drove smoothly into a spacious garage and skillfully parked the car. He turned off the engine and turned to face me, a gentle smile playing on his lips. Opening the door, he extended his hand toward me, a silent invitation for me to join him. I took a deep breath, my heart fluttering with anticipation, and reached out to grasp his hand.As his strong fingers intertwined with mine, I felt a comforting warmth spread through my body. Alpha Dante's touch always had that effect on me, grounding me in moments of uncertainty. With his assistance, I stepped out of the car, my feet landing gracefully on t

Danciana's Point Of ViewI arrived back at the Pack's hospital, exhausted from my unexpected detour. My heart was pounding as I entered my office, knowing that I had been absent without permission. I had barely taken off my purple coat, about to put on my lab coat and try to blend in, when the door clicked open and in walked Alpha Dante, accompanied by Beta Liu. The sight of them sent a chill down my spine, and I couldn't help but wonder if Beta Liu had betrayed me. Did he tell Alpha Dante about my secret meeting?I quickly finished buttoning up my lab coat, hoping it would serve as a shield against their penetrating gazes. With a forced smile, I greeted Alpha Dante, my voice trembling slightly. He acknowledged me with a curt nod, his expression stern and unreadable. I motioned for them to take a seat, trying my best to maintain a calm facade despite the turmoil inside me.As Alpha Dante and Beta Liu settled down, their eyes fixed on me like predators, my anxiety intensified. I took a
