Racheal's POVI stood by my window, gazing out at the backyard where the Hallow Sisters Coven was hosting their barbecue party. The air was filled with laughter and the tantalizing aroma of grilled food wafted through the air from my window. As I watched, the door behind me creaked open, and I turned to see my mom entering the room."Hey, sweetie," she said with a warm smile. "Why don't you come downstairs and join us? The coven has been waiting for you."I hesitated, feeling a wave of shyness wash over me. "I don't know, Mom," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper. "I'm not sure they'll like me. I mean, I'm part wolf, and they're witches."Mom stepped closer, her eyes filled with understanding. "Darling, you are one of them. They've been waiting for you for years. You belong with the coven, just as much as you belong with the wolves."I sighed, my gaze dropping to the floor. "But Mom, I've always felt like an outsider. I don't know if I can fit in."She gently placed a hand on

Racheal's POVAs I woke up and headed downstairs, the pain from my wound seemed to have subsided, and I could feel myself getting better with each step. As I reached the bottom of the stairs, I found my mom in the kitchen, with Hilary and Hailey busily assisting her in preparing breakfast."Morning, Mom," I greeted, a small smile forming on my face.Mom turned towards me, a mixture of relief and concern in her eyes. "Good morning, darling! How are you feeling today?""Much better, Mom," I replied, relieved. "My wound seems to be healing up nicely, and I can walk better now.""That's great to hear," she said, a warm smile spreading across her face. "Why don't you sit and wait for breakfast to be ready? You've been through a lot."I nodded and took a seat at the kitchen table, my gaze turning towards Hilary and Hailey's activities. They were carefully attending to the sizzling pans on the stove, their faces reflecting an air of concentration.Suddenly, one of the pans tipped precarious

Alpha Axel's POVI woke up with a pounding headache, my mouth dry and aching. The room was dimly lit, the curtains drawn shut. It had been two weeks since I last saw Rachael. Two weeks of unanswered calls and unanswered prayers. I had been drowning my sorrows in alcohol, my only companion in this lonely room.As I lay there, contemplating the meaninglessness of it all, a sudden burst of sunlight pierced the darkness and assaulted my eyes. I groaned and turned my face away, shielding my eyes from the intrusive brightness. I heard a rustling sound and a soft voice, which made me reluctantly open my eyes.There, standing by the window, was the queen herself. The queen, with her regal poise and a warm smile. She had always been supportive of me, reminding me of my responsibilities as an Alpha. She was the reason I had a pack to care for, to lead and protect. But lately, I had lost sight of that, lost in my own despair."Alpha," she said gently, her voice carrying the weight of concern. "

Chapter 27Alpha Axel's POVI paced back and forth in my room, my mind racing with a million thoughts. How could I be this stupid? How did I let myself get Athena pregnant? And all I could think about was Racheal. I needed to talk to her, to explain everything, to make things right. I reached for my phone and dialed her number, hoping she would pick up this time.But the call wouldn't connect. Frustration welled up inside me, adding to the already overwhelming guilt. I needed to fix this mess, to find a way out of the tangled web I had woven. Just as I was about to give up on reaching Racheal, the door to my room burst open, and there stood Athena.I stood there, dumbfounded, as Athena's calmness washed over me. It was as if she had taken a deep breath and found a way to suppress her emotions. Confusion swirled within me, for I had anticipated a storm of anger, tears, or perhaps even a heated confrontation. But her de

Alpha Axel's POVI woke up to another day signaling the start of another mission. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I quickly got out of bed and began preparing for the day ahead. As I dressed in my tactical gear, my mind raced with thoughts of the artifact we were about to retrieve.Once I was ready, I made my way towards the garage where the car was parked. Just as I reached the door, it swung open, revealing the queen herself, accompanied by the elder. I couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement mixed with nervousness at their unexpected presence."Good morning," the queen greeted me with a warm smile. "We have some important news regarding the artifact."I nodded, my curiosity piqued. The elder stepped forward, "It seems the artifact is closer than we initially thought," she explained. "It's located in Woodville, which is four towns away from here."Woodville? That was a significant distance, but nothing we couldn't handle. I mentally prepared myself for the journey ahead, know
