I could tell he was in pain, and I couldn't help but worry about his well-being."You don't look good," I said to him, concern etched on my face.He nodded, confirming my fears. "Yes, Doctor Luise will be here soon to check up on me," he replied, his voice heavy with fatigue.I couldn't help but feel a small pang of guilt when I remembered that he had only just been released from the hospital.

I like to spend my quiet time by the river in the forest, not too far from my pack. I often visit the beautiful forest to clear my head from the day's stress. The thought of a dream I had a day before crossed my mind, the moon goddess appeared to me again."My child, it is time."Her message to me was clear, but I asked still, “Am I prepared?”Am I prepared to take back my father's throne from the traitor, who killed my parents and took over our pack?It was just one sentence.

After revealing her powers, my wolf retreated to her inner self, feeling regretful for what she had done. regretful for what she had done."Forgive him, Lauren, Luna came begging on his behalf, I saw what happened in the kitchen, Griffin how could you allow this girl to manipulate you for so long, Lauren is right, you are not fit to be an alpha."Lauren who are you, Griffen asked with shock" I ignored him, at this time everyone was looking at sienna wired.This bunch of idiots has pushed me to my limit and I have no intention to stay the for a second.I left for my brother's room at the pack house.I was also given a room when I turned eighteen even though I had never slept in it before
LAUREN'S POVBruce asked in disbelief, "Lauren, how did you do that? You killed thirty-one rogues in wolf form while you are in human form within a few minutes" One of the warriors was impressed and asked, "Girl, your level of speed is abnormal. "I saw your movements and your speed, it's unlike any normal wolf. Who are you?" a warrior asked. Despite their questions, I remained silent and didn't respond."Let's go back to the pack," I finally said, leading the way.on our way home I saw sienna and the warrior who reported seeing the rogues, the moment they saw us they ran off as if they'd seen a ghost.

LAUREN'S POVJada was equally angry, and her emotions were palpable. "Mate is cheating on us, and I hate him," she said to me, her voice full of venom."We don't need him." I replied, trying to convince myself, because my first encounter with my mate had been unpleasant."How could he flaunt his mistress shamelessly in public, he is not a good man," I said to my wolf. "The power radiating from him told me that he was an alpha.""I don't care if he is an alpha or not, to me he is an asshole. My wolf angrily said to me.

LOGAN'S POVI was sitting confidently behind a dark, brown desk made of mahogany wood in a very fancy office, exuding an air of self-assured authority. I knew people admired my strong, chiselled jawline and piercing, confident eyes. Today, I dressed impeccably in a tailored suit that accentuated my broad shoulders and lean physique. That's what Alphas should dress like. Suits that convey both power and sophistication.Sitting across from me is my trusted friend and beta, Hunter.Hunter asked me, "Dude, are you thinking of going back to the cross-river pack for your mate or what?"
