Jake's POV
My whole life has been a roller coaster journey. I was always carefree and wild. My parents spoiled me. They let me do whatever I wanted to. I was the older twin. So it was natural that I'd be the alpha. Also I was a born alpha. Usually you find a born alpha once in a decade. I never had interests in power. I just wanted to ride my motorcycle and see the world with my eyes. I always neglected my duties, skipped training.
I found my mate Layla at 17. She was killed in a battle the next year. We lost over hundred warriors in that battle. That's where I found wounded Arya. A new born baby wolf was thrown in the woods. I took him in as a momento of my mate.
Our pack was in a crisis. My mother arranged a political marriage for me to save our pack. We were never happy in our marriage. I never paid attention to her, never treated her well. I left my position to my younger brother and escaped leaving her behind. She ended up cheating on me. She had Aries with another man. Even though I tried to raise Arya and Aries as my own children, I never felt any real affection to them. Felt like I was just doing everything out of pity. But Cara was different. When she first came to me I immediately felt attached. Like she was my own daughter. I took her to places I never took anyone. I learned to cook, do laundry, make braids. I even wore flower crowns because she made those with her tiny hands. I was selfish enough to offer her to leave school and come live with me. The first time I noticed her power she was only 15. She had abnormal physical power. I feared she will end up like me. I secretly trained her to be stronger so that she can protect herself when needed. We kept her powers secret. Because I knew Joshua will go to any extent to get that power in his hands. My worst nightmare came true. It wasn't only Joshua, Arya also joined him.
We're now stuck in this dilemma. We never wanted to be a part of this. Cara and I just wanted to live a normal life. Look at us now sleeping in a dark, cold celler chained like prisoners. This is not the life a father will ever want to give her daughter. I have to get her out of this. I have to make sure she can have a happy life. My only hope of ray, my little girl I can't let her become a pawn of power. Please God give me strength so I can protect her. Please.....
