Chapter 137Declan’s POVKendall was already asleep but I was still unable to sleep as I pondered about everything going on. I couldn’t stop thinking about the whole journey. I hoped we were going to find Kendall’s mom and sisters.She wasn’t the same person anymore and it was obvious that this was already affecting her. She seemed bothered, tired, and worried and no one could blame her for that.They were the only family that she had and her dad wasn’t exactly helping her so it was more like she was on her own with all of this.I rubbed her head gently, I assured myself that I’ll always be there for her no matter what happened. I was going to keep on showing up for her whenever she needed me.I regret ever leaving Kendall alone, to begin with, she was already going through a lot and life was hard on her most of the time.Now that she was back I was making it a promise to myself that I wouldn’t let anything happen to her. I wasn’t going to let anything that could hurt her get close t
Chapter 138Kendall’s POVI woke up due to the loud noise I could hear outside. It was too loud and at first, I thought it was from my nightmare till I was awake and looked around.The noise was very loud as I began panicking wondering if we were under rogue attack or something again.I got dressed immediately and stepped outside and I was shocked by what I saw outside.I didn’t quite understand what was going on anymore as I just stayed there watching the horrific sight in front of me. I waited patiently and tried to get a hold of what was happening but I didn’t get any luck.“What’s going on?” I asked no one in Particular it seemed like flies or something were killing the guards or at least they fell to the ground.I was even more terrified when I couldn’t find Declan anywhere around and I feared something might be wrong with him. I feared that he might have been infected by tide flies and he might be by the river somewhere.I got back into the rent terrified, shutting everything so
Chapter 139Kendall’s POVI stopped on reaching the warehouse because it looked like it was inhabited by anybody and it was very dark and gave me a very bad feeling. I wasn’t scared because I had some warriors with me alongside Declan urging me to go inside if I felt my mom and my sister were going inside.“Are you sure we should go in? because what if this isn’t where they are? And this is just a waste of our time and we were venturing into what could be dangerous from what we were running from. I don’t know.” I said hesitating.I just didn’t want to have any more thoughts of anybody else dying or getting into any sort of trouble because of me, especially Declan. I didn’t want anything to happen to him because I was going to blame myself if he died fighting my battle.“Calm down Kendall, I understand that you are very scared and you do not want anything to happen to anybody and you’re having doubts. I know you might be thinking that your Mum and sister might not even be there to b
Chapter 140Declan’s POVThe journey back to the Pack was a very smooth one unlike the one when we were going. I couldn’t be more happy seeing Kendall happy with her mom and sister. The smile on her face was so bright and genuine.After some hours of journey, we finally arrived back at the Pack. Everyone was tired and they earned rest and I was happy that Kendall was finally happy.I ordered the guards to take the new people to my Beta and he should get them all settled. A place to stay for them and the men should join the training camp at once as they were going to be a part of the Pack now.“I’ll see you later,” I told Kendall we ushered her mom and sister to their rooms to take care of them.“Okay.”“Thank you Declan, I appreciate this so much.” Kendall’s mom walked over to me and she hugged me gently.I could feel the warmth and gentleness in her body and no wonder Kendall was so restless without being beside her mom.I was just happy that everything was fine now and I left them t
Chapter 141Kendall’s POVI stood silently by the window, watching as Declan gave instructions to a man, a spy apparently. The man was covered with a large coat, his face partially hidden by an inner hood.Declan’s voice was low, but each word carried the weight of the his strict instructions.“You must gather all the information you can,” Declan said, his tone urgent. “Find out what he is planning, and be cautious. If you’re caught, we lose our advantage. Do you understand?”The spy nodded, his eyes steady. “I understand. I won’t fail.”I felt a knot of anxiety tighten in my stomach as I watched the spy leave. What Declan was up to was a risk, and there was so much depending on his success.I prayed he would find the answers we needed and return safely. The risk of him getting caught remained in my mind, a constant thought of worry.“Kendall,” Declan called my, acknowledge my presence.“Hey,” I responded, without so much as looking at his eyes.After the spy left, the room fell into
Chapter 142Kendall’s POVI moved closer to Declan, my curiosity getting the better of me. “Declan,” I said softly, ignoring his last statement about trusting him, “what’s the key for?”He looked at me, considering his words carefully. “The spy found a building that your father visits frequently,” he began, his voice low. “It’s in a secluded part of town, and he’s been seen going there often. The spy thinks there’s something strange about it, something off.”“What kind of building?” I asked, feeling a mixture of dread and curiosity.“It looks like an old storage facility, but the spy managed to get close enough to see that it’s carefully hidden from sight,” Declan explained. “He managed to duplicate the key used to lock and unlock the door.”I felt a chill run down my spine. “What do you think is in there?”“I’m not sure,” Declan admitted. “But whatever it is, it’s important enough for your father to guard it closely. We need to find out what’s inside that storage building.”I nodded,
Chapter 143Kendall’s POVThe atmosphere of the basement was thick with dust too, and the echo of our footsteps was the only sound in the emptiness.It looked like a factory, with machines and equipment, more sophisticated than the ones we saw above, spread around.“This place is huge,” I murmured almost to myself. “It feels like we’re in the wrong place.”Declan’s brow furrowed as he scanned the room. “We might not be. The spy said this was the place. We need to figure out what is going on here.”I couldn’t shake the feeling that we might have been led into a trap. “What if he set us up, Declan? What if my father knew we were coming and had the spy mislead us?”Declan shook his head, his eyes sharp and focused. “I don’t think so. I can sense something. There’s more to this place than meets the eye.”I nodded, trusting his instincts. We began to search through the factory, moving cautiously through the huge space.As we moved deeper, I noticed a section of the floor that looked differ
Chapter 144Declan’s POVMy mind raced as the gravity of what we’d uncovered settled in. Turning humans into Lycans and placing them under his control—Kendall’s father was trying to resurrect an ancient power for his own gain. The implications were deadly.Just as we were about to leave, we heard footsteps through the corridor. We exchanged a panicked glance and quickly sought cover behind a large machine. The outside door creaked open, and my heart nearly stopped when Kendall’s father walked in.“Stay quiet,” I whispered, barely moving my lips. Kendall nodded, her face pale with fear.We peered through the gaps in the factory, watching as her father surveyed the lab with his men. He moved with a confidence that showed his confidence in the security of this place. He approached the table we had been examining and began rifling through the papers, humming to himself.“He has no idea we’re here,” Kendall mouthed, her eyes wide. I nodded, grateful we had locked the door when we entered.
