Chapter Thirty-three

Declan’s POV

I paced the confines of my office, the weight of responsibility heavy on my shoulders. The news of rogue attacks on innocent children had rattled me to the core, leaving me feeling helpless and frustrated.

With each step I took, my mind raced with questions and doubts, searching for a solution to protect our pack from such senseless violence. Caden suddenly entered the room with a furrowed brow, his expression reflecting worry.

“Declan,” he called out, “We need to devise a plan to fortify our defenses,” he suggested, his voice filled with urgency.

I paused mid-stride, turning to face him with a furrowed brow of my own. “Yes, but how do we ensure the safety of people without risking further escalation?” I countered, the weight of responsibility evident in my tone.

Despite the urgency of the matter, we needed to tread carefully, lest we worsen the condition of this distraught woman and her child.“We offer our assistance,” I finally declared, my tone firm as I turned to face Caden. “Summon the pack doctors and gather a team to accompany them to the hospital. We must do everything in our power to save the child.”Caden nodded in agreement, his expression reflecting the gravity of the situation as he hurried to carry out my orders. As he left the room, I turned back to the window, my gaze settling on the woman and her precious burden.Abandoning the sight, I dashed downstairs, my heart pounding in my chest, as I sa

    Chapter Thirty-fiveKendall’s POVThe pain had become unbearable, a constant ache in my heart as I sat silently in Caden’s house, hidden away from Declan and the rest of the pack.Caden and I had agreed that it was best for me to remain hidden until he could find a way to convince Declan to take me back. But he had warned me that it wouldn’t be easy, that it would take time so I had to be patient.As the hours dragged on and Caden still hadn’t returned, the weight of uncertainty disturbed me.

When I arrived, I saw him standing at the doorway, his expression a mixture of relief and frustration.Entering inside the cozy living room, I was met with Caden’s stern gaze, his arms crossed in disapproval. He didn’t even have to say a word; the disappointment in his eyes spoke volumes. I knew I had messed up, and guilt gnawed at me like a relentless beast.“Where have you been?” Caden’s voice was stern, his eyes narrowing as he took in my disheveled appearance.“I needed some air,” I replied, trying to catch my breath as I leaned against the doorframe.“Come on, Kendall?” Caden’s voice was low, but the frustration was evident in his tone. “You were supposed to stay hidden until we figured things out.”I tried to explain, to tell him about Olivia’s tricks in the mansion and the need to make Declan know what was going on, bu

Entering her room to tell her would be going to lead the search for her myself today, my fears had been confirmed – the bed was empty.There was no sign of her in the bathroom either. A heavy sigh coming out of me, I realized where Kendall must have gone. Despite our conversation last night, she had made up her mind to go back to Declan.I couldn’t blame her entirely – their bond seemed unbreakable, despite the constant hatred between them. I clenched my fists in frustration, cursing myself for not being able to stop her from going to Declan.Anger simmered beneath the surface as I thought about Olivia’s role in all of this. She was cunning, manipulating Declan’s emotions to her advantage. But deep down, I knew that Declan still cared for Kendall, no matter how hard he tried to hide it.I paced back and forth in Kendall’s room, tryi

Without warning, she launched into an episode, warning me to stay away from Declan.I glanced up from my work, unfazed by her threats. “Sorry, Olivia, but I can’t just stay away from Declan,” I replied calmly. “He’s my mate.”Olivia’s eyes narrowed at my words, and she scoffed derisively. “Your mate?” she spat, her tone dripping with disdain. “You really think Declan cares about you? You’re just his little brat, Kendall.”I bristled at her words, my temper flaring. “That’s not true,” I shot back, my voice tinged with anger. “Declan and I share a bond that you’ll never understand. You’re just the side chick, Olivia, and you know it.”The air crackled with tension as Olivia and I squared off with her.

    Chapter 149Declan’s POVAs the excitement and rejoicing of our victory began to fade, I knew there was still one matter that needed to be addressed. I gathered everyone in the camp, their eyes fixed on me with a mixture of anticipation and apprehension.“Friends,” I began, my voice carrying across the clearing, “we have emerged victorious from this battle. But there is still one question that remains unanswered: what should we do with him?” I asked, pointing to my father-in-law bounded in chains.A murmur of voices erupted from the crowd. Some called for mercy, while others demanded justice. But as I looked around, I could see the steely determination in their eyes. They knew as well as I did that Kendall’s father was a threat that could not be ignored.Turning to Kendall, I sought her counsel, knowing that her opinion held weight among our people. “Kendall,” I said, my voice gentle yet firm, “what do you think we should do?”Kendall’s gaze was steady as she met mine, her expression

    Chapter 148Declan’s POVAs the battle raged around us, I caught sight of Kendall’s mother among the chaos. My heart skipped a beat at the sight of her, a sense of dread flooding through me.What could she be doing here? I asked myself. Before I could approach her, she met my gaze with an expression. She approached me, her eyes filled with a fierce determination.“I can help weaken them,” she said, her voice steady. “But I need your men to attack fiercely when the time is right.”I nodded, understanding the gravity of her words. Even though she appeared weak and powerless, Kendall’s mother was a force to be reckoned with, her unique blend of werewolf and witch abilities giving her a power unlike any other.As she began her chants, I watched in awe as the magic began to take effect. The rogues fell to the ground, their movements sluggish and uncoordinated. The rest of our warriors seemed strengthened by the rogues’ weakness, their attacks more focused and precise.With a renewed sense

The sounds of battle echoed in the distance, every sound sending shivers down my spine.As I prayed for their safety, a wounded warrior stumbled into the tent, his face pale and painted with blood. He gasped for breath, his words tumbling out in a rush.“We’re losing,” he said, his voice trembling with fear. “Your father… he’s using the rogues. They’re tearing through our men like… like nothing I’ve ever seen.”My heart sank at his words, a cold knot of dread forming in the pit of my stomach. I knew what it meant if my father succeeded in taking over our pack. We would become slaves, forced to bend to his will or face the consequences.The others in the tent looked at each other with wide eyes, the weight of the news sinking in. We were facing a force unlike anything any of us had ever encountered before, and the possibility of defeat seemed all too real now.But even i

Guns were loaded , swords sharpened, and strategies were whispered among the ranks.Declan had ordered all women to stay back, to tend to the wounded who might make it back, but I had no intention of staying behind.Declan stood before me, his eyes filled with worry. “Kendall, you need to stay back with the others. It’s not safe for you and the baby to be out there.”I shook my head. “I can’t do that, Declan. These are my people. I can’t just sit back and watch them suffer the consequences of my father’s actions.”His face hardened with frustration. “It’s not just about them. It’s about you and our child. I can’t lose you, Kendall.”“I understand that, but if there’s going to be a war, I need to be there. I need to try and save as many people as I can. I’ve known these people all my life. I can’t abandon them now.”Declan sighed, running a hand through

    Chapter 145Declan’s POVBack at the palace, the weight of Caden’s betrayal pressed heavily on my mind. Kendall and I couldn’t shake the horror of the things we saw, along with knowing that my best friend had been working with the enemy all along.We sat in the guest room given to us. Kendall’s eyes reflected my worry, her presence both a comforting and a reminder of the gravity of our situation.I had always relied on Caden, counted on him to have my back, and now that foundation had been destroyed by his greed and betrayal. I suspected Kendall’s father promised him control over my pack in exchange for his alliance.“I can’t believe it,” Kendall whispered softly. “How could he do this to you? To the pack?”I shook my head, the anger and hurt boiling within me. “I don’t know, Kendall. I thought I knew him, trusted him with everything. But now…”“I trusted him too, I sincerely thought he was my friend.” Kendall chimed in.My voice trailed off as I clenched my fists, trying to contain

    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.

    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
