William’s POV I stormed into my territory, the gate slamming shut behind me as my guards followed in silence. My mind was on fire. My steps were heavy. Every muscle in my body was tense with rage. Ella… gone. She had escaped. Right under my nose. While I was out meeting Dominic. I didn’t care how or why. I just knew heads were going to roll. The moment I stepped into the front yard, I saw one of the guards, leaning lazily near the sidewall like nothing had happened. I snapped. “You!” I shouted, marching straight toward him. He looked up, confused. “Alpha…” Before he could finish, I grabbed him by the collar and slammed him against the wall. “Where were you when she escaped?!” His eyes widened with fear. “I-I was patrolling the north side…” “Then why didn’t you see her leave?!
