Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTY-FIVELucas's POVThe pain in my chest was nothing compared to the fury boiling inside me as I watched Vikram lunge at Emilio. Time seemed to slow down, and for a moment, all I could hear was the pounding of my heart, drowning out Emilio's gasp of pain. My best friend, my partner, the man I loved—hurt because of Vikram's uncontrollable rage."No!" I shouted, rushing to Emilio's side as he stumbled, clutching the knife wound in his side. Blood seeped through his fingers, staining his shirt a deep crimson. My hands trembled as I reached out to steady him, my heart shattering at the sight of his pain.Emilio's eyes met mine, filled with a mixture of shock and determination. "Lucas... I'm okay," he whispered, his voice strained but steady.I shook my head, refusing to believe his words. "You're not okay, Emilio. You’re hurt. We need to get you out of here."Vikram stood a few feet away, the knife still in his hand, his eyes filled with a cold, bitter rage. I could see the satisfaction on his fa

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTY-FOURVikram's POV Lucas was coughing hard, struggling to catch his breath after I had slammed him against the wall. His eyes locked onto mine, filled with defiance, but I was too angry to care."What the hell is wrong with you?" I snarled, my voice echoing in the room. "You’ve lost your mind, Lucas!"He pushed himself off the wall, still panting. "No, Vikram, you’re the one who’s lost it! You’re out of control!"I stepped closer, fists clenched, trying to hold back my rage. "This is all because of Emilio. He’s poisoned your mind, made you weak. Everything that’s happened is his fault!"Lucas shook his head, his jaw tight. "Don’t you dare blame Emilio for your mess. You did this, Vikram. You turned Emilio into a ripper. You killed Alex. You killed Mackenzie. And now my father, Donald, is dead because of you!"I couldn’t help but laugh, a bitter, mocking sound. "You’re looking for someone to blame? Blame Emilio. He’s the reason all of

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTY-THREELucas's POV"I can feel it, my father is dead," I said, my voice shaking. Emilio looked at me like I had lost my mind. His eyes were wide, his face filled with confusion. He didn’t say anything at first, just stared at me like I was speaking a foreign language."Lucas, what are you talking about?" Emilio finally asked, stepping closer to me. "What do you mean your father is dead? You haven’t even spoken to him in weeks."I shook my head, my hands trembling. "I just know, Emilio. I can feel it. Something’s wrong. And Vikram..." I trailed off, my mind racing. "Vikram is hiding something from me. I’ve tried calling him, but he won’t answer. He’s avoiding me."Emilio frowned, crossing his arms over his chest. "Lucas, you’re getting worked up over nothing. You need to calm down.""I can’t calm down!" I snapped, my voice rising. "Something is wrong, Emilio. I can feel it in my bones. My father is dead, and Vikram knows something. He’s keeping secrets from me."Emilio sighed, running a hand

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTY-TWOLucas's POV "Can I speak with you?"I typed the message on my phone and sent it to Vikram. I had tried calling him, but he wasn't picking up.I sat on the couch, phone still in my hand, waiting for his response. The TV was on, but I wasn't paying attention to it. My mind was on Vikram and what I wanted to talk to him about.I looked around the room, noticing the messy coffee table and the dirty dishes in the sink. Emilio had left for work a few hours ago, and I was still in my pajamas.My phone buzzed, breaking the silence. I looked down and saw Vikram's response."What's up?" he had typed.I took a deep breath, trying to gather my thoughts. What did I want to say to him?"A lot," I typed back. "Can we talk on the phone?"I waited for his response, my heart beating a little faster. What was going on with Vikram? And why wasn't he answering my calls?I got up from the couch and walked over to the window. Somehow, I was bothered and something felt off.The sun was shining brightly, ca

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTY-ONE Vikram's POV The meeting with Donald was supposed to be the big moment. I had been waiting for days, thinking about how we could finally get rid of Emilio. Every plan we came up with seemed like a good idea at first. But when we tried to make it happen, it always fell apart. It was like trying to build a sandcastle, but the waves kept washing it away. I was getting really frustrated. We had tried so many times to get rid of Emilio, but he just wouldn't go down. I was starting to feel desperate. I remember the first time we tried to ambush Emilio. We had been watching him for a while, so we knew his routine and where he would be. We chose a dark alley as the perfect spot to catch him. But it didn't work out that way. Emilio walked out of the alley without a scratch, while our men were left lying on the ground, hurt and bruised. That failure still hurts. It's like a burn that won't go away. Then we tried to poison Emilio. Donald said it would be impossible to detect, that it woul

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTYEmilio's POV "Lucas," I whispered, my voice barely audible over the pounding of my heart. "Do you think we’ll ever really find out who did this?"He turned to me, his eyes soft and full of concern. "We will, Emilio. The truth always comes out."I wasn’t so sure. The weight of the accident, the unanswered questions, and the fear that seemed to follow me everywhere made it hard to believe in any kind of resolution. I stared out the window, watching the world go by, feeling like I was trapped in some kind of nightmare.The next morning, I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing on the nightstand. Groggily, I reached for it and saw a message from Officer Smith. "We need you at the station. We have important news."My heart skipped a beat. I quickly nudged Lucas awake, shaking him gently. "Lucas, they know something."He opened his eyes, instantly alert. "Let’s go."We dressed quickly, the tension between us palpa

Chapter: CHAPTER HUNDRED AND SEVEN **Epilogue**Jenna gently placed the twins, Lila and Lyon, in their cribs, her heart swelling with love and exhaustion. The dedication ceremony for the twins was just a day away, and she couldn't wait to introduce them to the pack.As she gazed at her sleeping babies, Jenna felt a sense of peace wash over her. Lila, with her delicate features and soft, golden hair, was a gentle soul, while Lyon, with his strong jaw and piercing blue eyes, was a brave and adventurous spirit.Jenna smiled, remembering the moment she and Roberto had decided on the names. Lila, meaning "play" or "amusement", suited their little girl's playful nature, while Lyon, meaning "lion-hearted", was perfect for their brave and fearless son.The next day, the pack gathered at the ceremony site, eager to meet the new additions. Jenna and Roberto stood before the pack, holding their babies close, as the elder began the dedication ritual."Lila and Lyon, born of love and strength, we welcome you to our pack," the elder

Chapter: CHAPTER HUNDRED AND SIXRoberto's POVI stood in the dimly lit room, staring at the witch who had been causing so much chaos. She was bound to a chair, her eyes gleaming with a malevolent intensity."You're the one who created this virus," I growled, my anger simmering just below the surface.She smiled, her lips curling up in a cruel smile. "I simply unleashed a power that was already within the wolves. A power that Jenna can harness."I raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"The witch's smile grew wider. "Jenna has the power to heal the wolves. But she must remember it from her past life."I frowned, unsure what to make of this revelation. "What do you mean, her past life?"The witch's eyes seemed to bore into my soul. "Jenna has lived before, Roberto. She has the power of the ancient ones within her. But she must remember it, or the wolves will perish."I felt a surge of hope. Could it be true? Could Jenna really hold the key to saving our pack?I turned to the witch, my voice firm. "Tell me more."The wi

Chapter: CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FIVE Jenna's POVAs I watched, the disease ravaged our pack, leaving a trail of death and destruction in its wake. Roberto, our strongest and most determined alpha, was tasked with finding a cure, but fate had other plans.The presence within him, a dark and malevolent force, began to stir, threatening to consume him whole. I saw the struggle in his eyes, the battle to maintain control, but it was no use. The presence was too strong, too ancient."Roberto, no!" I screamed, as he fell to the ground, his body contorting in ways that seemed impossible.I rushed to his side, feeling the heat emanating from his skin, the power coursing through his veins. I knew I had to act fast, or risk losing him forever.With a deep breath, I reached out, connecting with the presence, feeling its dark energy coursing through me. It was a risk, but one I had to take.Slowly, I began to chant, ancient words of banishment, feeling the power build within me. The presence fought back, but I stood firm, my will un

Chapter: CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FOUR Azrael"Imelda!!!." I screamed as she hurriedly ran out of the room.But that didn't make her stabilize her pace or rather run a little bit slower. She kept sprinting like a wolf that was participating in a Marathon competition."Imelda!!." I yelled as I did my best to catch up with her.Gawddd, how can a woman run so perfectly well and this fast even after all the horrible things that happened lately."Imelda." I called as I managed to outrun her and now I was standing right in front of my already pissed off Luna."What's your problem? Just let me be and do the right thing already." Imelda started wiping her face like an outstressed person."Fine….I mean, yes. Why not? But where are you running to?." I asked as her words kept replaying in my ears like some eerie music that sounded like torture itself. "Maybe I should just fall off a cliff.""I'm running to get as far away as possible from any member of this pack, precisely I'm running to the comfort of the solitude of my own room ...

Chapter: CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THREE AzraelWhat else would Irene not do? Well, I really do not want to start taking actions and it then turns out she isn't the one but who would? Imelda can't do such a thing without telling me… No she can't even do it.But then another shocking realization dawned in me.Could it be Alpha Lena, Imelda's mom?But she was with us just now in my room. What if she did it when I and Imelda were in my room? How can that even be possible?Different questions came into my head and I got confused.I have to lay low and not act rashly if I really want to know who this person was and know what he or she is up to.The only people in this pack that were on my suspicion list right now were Irene and Alpha Lena, but Alpha Lena had no access to my study room.With anger, I marched out of my room down to Irene's.If Alpha Lena has no rights to my room, it only meant one thing…Irene was the one.Pushing her door wide open, I saw her on her bed sleeping peacefully.

Chapter: CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWO Azrael"I think she's up to something bad." I said to Imelda but she wasn't surprised at all.I expected to see shock on her face but the shock she showed up was one that confirmed her curiosity.The shock I saw was the one that I wasn't expecting."I knew it!!!." She yelled as she stared at me wide eyed, her eyes bulging out like they would pop out of its socket."What do you know?." I asked feigning ignorance yet again so as to know what was on her mind. One thing I know is that my love was quite a witty one."Oh come on. You think you're the only one that questions why my mother finally returns as a confident Alpha after leaving for years." She stated and I couldn't help but admire her strategic mind.Not every one, let alone a woman would be able to think so fast and swift, Imelda indeed amazes me. "Wow, my mate has really got some quick wits." I complimented and she blushed."Thank you!." She said doing that little bow like courtesy.I flashed her a smile and her face turned red
