Aria lay in Alejandro’s arms, her body still humming from the intensity of their night. His grip around her was firm, possessive, as if he feared she would disappear the moment he let go.But she wasn’t going anywhere.Her fingers trailed over his chest, tracing the faint scars that told stories she would never fully know. His heartbeat was steady beneath her touch, a stark contrast to the storm that awaited them outside these walls."You’re awake," Alejandro murmured, his voice thick with sleep.Aria smiled against his skin. "Couldn't sleep."He tightened his grip around her waist. "You're safe here."Safe. She wanted to believe that, but the reality was, as long as Miguel was out there, they would never truly be safe.She lifted her head to meet Alejandro’s gaze. "What happens next?"His jaw tightened, his dark eyes unreadable. "I find Miguel. And I end this."A lump formed in her throat. "And then what?"Alejandro exhaled slowly. "Then, I make sure nothing ever threatens us again."

The scent of gunpowder still lingered in the air as the dust settled. Bodies of fallen men lay scattered across the estate, and the distant sound of sirens reminded Aria that their battle was far from over.Alejandro kept her close, his arm wrapped protectively around her waist as his sharp eyes scanned the wreckage for any remaining threats.Juan, gripping his wounded shoulder, let out a groan. "That bastard got away again."Alejandro clenched his jaw. "Not for long."Aria swallowed hard, trying to steady her breathing. The rush of adrenaline was wearing off, leaving behind the weight of everything that had just happened.Miguel had escaped. He would regroup, and he would come back stronger.She turned to Alejandro. "What now?"His fingers traced along her jawline, his eyes dark with determination. "Now, we prepare for war."Aria’s heart pounded, but before she could respond, a soft groan caught their attention.Valentina.She lay a few feet away, blood pooling beneath her from a gun

Aria's scream echoed through the ruined hallway as the gunshot rang out.For a terrifying second, she thought Alejandro had been hit. But he was still standing, eyes blazing with fury.Instead, Juan stumbled back, a crimson bloom spreading across his shoulder. He gritted his teeth, clutching the wound but refusing to fall.Miguel smirked. "Consider that a warning shot."Alejandro's jaw tightened. His gun was still raised, but now there was a deadly calm in his eyes one that sent a chill down Aria’s spine."You think this is a game, Miguel?" Alejandro's voice was dangerously low, dripping with barely restrained rage.Miguel let out a lazy chuckle. "Oh, it's not a game, my friend. It's a message." He tilted his head. "Surrender now, and I’ll be generous. I might let you keep your life. Maybe even your little pet here." His gaze flickered to Aria, and Alejandro’s grip on his gun tightened.Aria clenched her fists, stepping closer to Alejandro. "If you think he's going to surrender to you

Smoke filled the air, thick and suffocating. The explosion had rocked the estate, sending panic through the halls. Aria coughed, trying to clear her lungs as Alejandro held her tightly against his chest, shielding her from the worst of the debris."Are you hurt?" His voice was rough, urgent, as he ran his hands over her arms, checking for injuries."I'm fine," she gasped, her ears still ringing from the blast.Juan burst into the room, gun in hand, his face set in a grim mask. "They've breached the outer perimeter! We need to move, now!"Alejandro didn't hesitate. He pulled Aria to her feet, his grip firm but careful. "Stay close to me."Gunfire erupted outside, sharp cracks echoing through the estate. The sound sent a shiver down Aria’s spine. This wasn’t just an attack this was an all-out war.Alejandro grabbed a pistol from the table and handed it to her. “If anyone gets too close, you shoot.”She took it without hesitation. She wasn’t just some helpless prisoner anymore she was in

The message from Miguel lingered in Aria’s mind long after Alejandro set his phone down. A cold shiver ran down her spine. This wasn’t just a threat it was a declaration of war.Alejandro’s expression was unreadable, but she could see the storm brewing in his dark eyes. His grip on the phone was tight, his knuckles turning white.“He’s pushing us,” Juan muttered, standing across the room with his arms crossed. “Trying to make us react first.”Alejandro exhaled sharply, standing abruptly. “Then let’s not disappoint him.”Aria’s heart pounded. “Alejandro, wait ”But he was already moving, grabbing his gun from the desk.Juan exchanged a glance with her. “You know him. He won’t stop until he gets the upper hand.”Aria rushed to Alejandro, placing a hand on his chest, feeling his heartbeat racing beneath her palm. “We need to be smart about this. If we rush into whatever trap he’s setting, we’ll lose.”Alejandro’s jaw clenched. “I’m not letting him take anything from me.”His eyes burned

The morning sun cast a golden glow over the estate, filtering through the curtains as Aria stirred awake. Alejandro’s arm was wrapped tightly around her waist, his body warm against hers. She blinked, her mind replaying last night’s events the mission, the explosion, and then the way Alejandro had claimed her on his desk like he couldn’t get enough.A small smile touched her lips.But then reality crashed in. Miguel was still out there. This wasn’t over.Aria carefully untangled herself from Alejandro’s grip, trying not to wake him. She needed to think, to plan.She slipped into the bathroom, turning on the shower. The warm water cascaded down her body, washing away the remnants of the night. As she ran her fingers through her wet hair, she heard the bathroom door creak open.A knowing smirk played on her lips before she even turned around.Alejandro stood in the doorway, shirtless, his dark eyes locked onto hers with a heat that made her stomach tighten.“You thought you could sneak

Chapter 203Leila's povI couldn't understand why though but I knew that whatever it was, it would work in my favour."step forward Leila," the priestess said to me and I moved forward with the help of Damian. She made me kneel before the altar and then she started performing rituals over me. A few minutes later, I saw smoke coming out from the altar all at once and we had to wait for it to land. I watched it hover around the air and finally settled on me, filling me up.I shivered within and didn't know when I went unconscious.I soon opened my eyes only to see Alpha Xander staring at me. I then sat up and saw that I was being laid."you are awake," Damian said happily and quickly hugged me. Alpha Xander looked very excited. He was still seated on the wheels provided for him.I stood up and looked around my body. I felt stronger. It was weird at first as I jumped around. The energy in me was top-notch. It was only me, Damian, and Alpha Xander that were there. I think the rest chose

Chapter 202Antonio's povI didn't know if that was a good idea or a bad one cause after seven hours of leaving the pack some guards who claimed they were from the chiefs returned with my warriors' clothes stained in blood and reported to me that they had met them all dead.I felt devastated. I wasn't willing to sacrifice my daughter in the midst of all these and it felt as though I was losing it already. I didn't know what I was thinking anymore. "what's wrong? Have they been able to find her?" Sonia asked me from behind and I felt my anger rising."What did the chiefs' guards mean by they met the warriors I sent out dead? That's impossible. I will kill them all." I growled in anger and ordered my guards to go gather all the chiefs I had trusted along with the guards. These chiefs helped me get on the throne. There were other chiefs who didn't succumb to me but I had no idea where they were. They left the pack long before I came so I was going to kill the rest for failing in their j

Chapter 201Amelia's povI couldn't understand the reason Damian chose to get away from me like this so I swore to get to the root of the matter. I won't sit and watch my love life go down the drain. I loved Damian and never thought of playing with him.I made my way out of the forest and ran back to the black pool pack, keeping in mind that my father was ruling there at the moment. When I got to the gate of the palace, I paused there for a while before going in.The guards were very surprised to see me but I didn't care as it wasn't the point.It was a bright new day but I didn't think so as I walked in, looking very pissed at my existence. "where are my parents." I asked the gate at the main door of the building.He then took me in and I walked into the dining to see my parents eating breakfast when my world was shattering. "someone explain what is happening here."They looked up and were very surprised to see me. "what are you doing here Amelia?" my father asked."Oh, my child. I

Chapter 200Sonia's povI couldn't believe my eyes. Gosh! I understand that Damian is missing and he left with Leila but what has it changed? He is still the alpha. I would rather he prove to the people that he can protect them and solidify his position than this he was doing. He just killed a member and now the whole pack is in mourning. I didn't think he was right in this. We should only go after anyone who threatens our position and not innocent pack members. I turned and walked into the building after him, chasing after him."make me understand the reason for that Antonio. Do you realize you just killed someone?" I queried.He turned and faced me in the bedroom looking really scared. "Sonia I expect you to follow my lead and not ask me stupid questions. Do you realize what will happen if those two get their hands on any power and come after us again?"What the hell was he even talking about? "this is not even the point. You murdered someone you were obligated to protect. This nev

Chapter 199Antonio's pov"Search them! Fish them out right now!!!" I commanded my men as I watched them leave. Arrrrgghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!I could not control my anger anymore as my warriors matched out of the black pool pack to find Damian and Leila. I was then wondering how long they had gone missing for as I knelt on the floor at the from of the palace building. On remembering Dennis, I decided to check him out but no matter how much I searched around, he was nowhere to be found. "Where is Dennis? He was here a few minutes ago." I asked one of the guards I had right there."he left long ago. Not too long from when he came." the guard responded and I got very pissed. How could he leave again without saying goodbye?My mind was messed up and I really needed someone to talk to."you are walking around like you have mental issues," Sonia said to me, fueling my anger. "why are you doing this to me? Why are you doing this to me answer me?"I screamed at her.My anger was over the roof.

Chapter 198Leila's povAntonio was a very desperate and greedy man. We had to listen to every single thing Damian had to say and though I was still angry at him deep within me, I still think it wasn't entirely his fault.Why hurt your fellow werewolf for revenge? It just doesn't add up to me at all.Damian was still with me and the alpha. He unexpectedly went down on his knees to beg me for forgiveness. "I want you to forgive me, Lily. I know you may never want to get back into a romantic relationship with me and I'm not expecting you to or feeling entitled to it. I just want you to forgive me. I was wrong. I admit it. I should have alerted you and if I knew my sister would have died, I would have risked my life so I wouldn't have to live to witness her absence. Please don't take me back but forgive me for all the pain and disappointment I have cost you."I didn't expect this apology but either way, it brought tears to my eyes and I had to cry it out. Yes I loved him and I wasn't jok
