Tristan’s POVI stood at the edge of the forest, surveying the vast expanse of the pack territory before me. This was it—the moment I had been waiting for. For years, I had watched from the shadows as the main alpha and his triplet sons ruled over the pack with an iron fist. But their reign was built on fear and intimidation, and I knew it was only a matter of time before someone challenged their authority.With a determined nod, I signaled to my loyal followers, and we began to move silently through the forest. Our footsteps were muffled by the thick underbrush as we made our way toward the heart of the pack territory. The main alpha and his sons were away on a hunting trip, leaving the pack vulnerable and unprotected. It was the perfect opportunity to strike.As we neared our target, I could feel the anticipation building within me. This was the moment that would change everything. With the main alpha and his sons out of the way, I would finally seize control of the pack and assert m

Shannon’s POVI tiredly staggered towards the door and turned the doorknob walking into the house. I was so tired and my body was aching all over.It was a long day at the hospital and the fact I had to queue before I got attended to. Lately, I’ve been stressed out and this wasn’t what I needed.Do I want to dance with you to get treated? I wasted a whole lot of energy I did not even have.As I got into the living room, I crashed into the couch and let my body drown in tiredness. I stared around and there wasn’t anyone in sight.I didn’t bother standing up or yelling anyone’s name because I was that tired. I just waited to rest for a while before I even thought of doing anything.I summoned a maid because they were always hanging around in case their attention was needed.“Yes ma’am.” One of the maids replied, running to me hurriedly.“How are you doing today?” She added.“I’m fine thank you. Get me a chilled glass of water immediately.” I muttered.With that, she ran off and came back

Jules POVI opened the door and walked into the house only to notice that Shannon and Ellie were in the living area. The smile on my face disappeared and my greetings trailed off my lips as I noticed Ellie’s and Shannon’s worried looks.My strides quickened with apprehension as I hurried over and over, concern etched deep lines into my forehead.“Something’s not right here? What took place? You both seemed worried” I inquired in an urgent tone, reaching out to hold Shannon in my arms as she appeared as though she was about to pass out from fear.I could see that Shannon was having trouble expressing what was thinking, and her hands were shaking. Finally, She managed to speak,“He… he came Jules,” scarcely raising her voice above a whisper.“That Alpha you told me about, Tristan. He was here after you left, asking about Father… and he left a message…”I listened to her as she narrated what happened in my absence, my eyes narrowing with rage. Gripping Shannon’s shoulders tightly, I turn

Jules POVClad in black jeans, a T-shirt, and combat boots, I returned to the pack house, my eyes Stormy.It was a cloudy and gloomy day and was about to rain but none of that mattered to me because I was here simply to see Shannon. I had missed her so much and now that I was there all I wanted to do was hug her tight.As I crossed the entrance of the pack house, I scanned the area, ignoring the guard’s greetings.I passed the living room, calling out Shannon’s name but there was no answer.“Shannon!” I called out, walking past the living room and trying to find my wife.For some reason, I couldn’t sense him in the pack and that scared me a little bit. Where was She?A maid appeared in front of me and bowed to me as I was about to climb up the stairs to go find her. Was she sleeping?Maybe I was acting paranoid. I had missed her after all.“Where’s my wife?” I asked, my eyes still scanning the living room. She was usually here. Where on earth was she? I wondered.*Sir…” she was ab

Jules POVI woke up in a brightly lit room. I blinked, trying to adjust to the harsh fluorescent light.“Jules!” A familiar sounding voice called out and I frowned as her face came into view.“Shannon,” I sat up a little too quickly and groaned out in absolute pain.“Hey Jules,” she smiled at me.“Don’t move too much. You have not yet healed up.” She said, her sweet voice wrapping around me like a blanket.“You’ve been released?” it was supposed to be an observation but it came out as a question. I was so happy to see her, I couldn’t believe I had won. At some point, I had completely blacked out but if she was here with me then I had won.“Thanks to you. I’m so sorry for what you had to go through for my sake.* She said, hugging me.I winced at the pain and she quickly let go of me as if I were some fragile glass.“No,” I protested at the absence of her warmth. I wanted it back but I knew she would be too afraid to hurt me. That was just who Shannon was.“I’m sorry, you seem to still
