Shea’s POVThere was a sense of imminent danger in the air, urging us to hurry. We raced out of our room and into the open, readying ourselves for whatever awaited us.As we stepped outside, a startling scene unfolded—the castle was surrounded by a powerful fleet. I quickly spotted my parents, Elora and Dominic, standing amidst their loyal Beta, Uncle Hunter and a group of warriors. Worry and curiosity mingled within me, compelling me to ask about their unexpected presence."Why are you here?" I asked, my voice trembling slightly. The words slipped out before I fully grasped the situation.“What kind of question is that? Of course we came here to rescue you,” Dad exclaimed, responding with genuine concern, confessing their desire to rescue me. But I couldn't accept their offer, not after everything I learned about my mother’s evil acts. “Go back to the Royal Pack, Dad. I am not coming with you,” I stated with conviction, making them raise their eyebrows in confusion. “What are you s

The weight of that truth seemed to crush him, leaving him speechless.Mom’s life slipped away before our eyes, and I found myself paralyzed, unsure of what to do. At that moment, Ashley's callous laughter filled the air. Mom and Dad’s words were proven right all along.“Hahaha! Finally, I can sleep at night knowing that—”Driven by an unseen force, without any warning, Dad charged forward, unleashing a storm of fury. His fists struck like wild animals, pounding relentlessly on Ashley's fragile body. Each blow expressed his pain, a desperate cry for justice. The place echoed with the sickening sound of flesh hitting bone, a terrifying display of revenge. No one dared interfere, frozen by the horrifying scene.Between his clenched teeth, Dad whispered with chilling intensity, his voice cutting through the violence. His gaze locked onto Ashley's eye

Hektor’s POVI jolted awake, my body drenched in sweat, my heart pounding in my chest. The nightmare had shattered my peace, bringing back haunting memories of my mother's treachery and the twisted acts she forced upon me and Pops. It left me hollow, like an endless abyss of despair.With a heavy sigh, I dragged myself to the bathroom, craving the soothing embrace of a warm shower. The hot water cascaded over me as if trying to wash away my worries and anxiety, even if just for a fleeting moment. But the putrid stench of my mother's lies clung to me, making me cringe in revulsion.Shit! When will this nightmare end? Once the water ceased its gentle flow, my thoughts drifted to Shea, my lovely mate. I rushed out of the bathroom, searching for her possible whereabouts inside our chambers but my search was futile. My mind convinced me she must be in the kitchen, so I rushed there, my heart pounding with a growing sense of dread. I need to see her. Her presence is like a vitamin that I

Shea’s POVI live as a rogue now, far from the princess life I once knew in the Royal Pack. I approached our simple shelter and smelled the aroma of roasted herbs in the air. Opening the creaky wooden door, I saw Vlad, illuminated by warm light from inside. He looked relieved and proud as he saw me, and his face brightened with a gentle smile."Welcome back, Shea!" Vlad exclaimed happily. "And look who's here to greet you!"Beside Vlad stood a young boy, his eyes wide with curiosity and excitement. My heart skipped a beat."Mommy!" I smiled widely, reaching out my hand to welcome him. Yes, I found out I was pregnant when I left the White Fang Castle five years ago and Bradley was the fruit of it. I knelt down, letting the game fall from my shoulder, and smiled at my little boy.He looked at me intently and reached out to touch my shoulder. "You're really strong, Mommy," he said in awe. I ruffled his hair in return, making him pout. I glanced at Vlad, my eyes filled with gratitude.

Shea's POV"Where the hell is your father, Bradley! He swore to be here with me always, but where is he?!" I vented at my firstborn, clutching my belly. It had grown so big, resembling a watermelon that I had swallowed whole. It wasn't surprising, considering I was carrying Hektor's twins."Calm down, Mommy! Daddy would be here any moment. I am sure he is on his way," he answered. "He is right, Shea. Come on. Let me help you deliver your twins. My grandsons are ready to come out," my mother, Elora, encouraged as I shifted my attention to her.I gritted my teeth while I endured the throbbing pain in my stomach. My twins wanted to come out in the world, but I wouldn't let them until their father was by my side. When I delivered Bradley, Hektor was not on my side. So, we promised each other that this time, he would be present as I birthed our twins. "Come on, Shea. Don't be stubborn. Your husband is gonna be here soon. Let's go inside so you can free yourself from this pain. Let your t
