CHAPTER FIFTY

PRESENT TIME

KENDALL'S POINT OF VIEW

I let out a sigh as I threw away a rumpled up paper for the umpteenth time. I took out a fresh paper and stared blankly at the crisp white sheet of paper before me.

What could I possibly say to my father?

I had to write this letter to him, but I had absolutely no idea what to say. I picked up the pen, my fingers trembling slightly as I poised it over the paper.

But as I tried to form the words, they seemed to elude me, slipping through my grasp like water through clenched fingers. With a frustrated sigh, I dropped the pen back onto the desk.

I sighed again, burying my head into my palms. With another sigh, I raised up my head and chewed on my lip.

I had to think of something.

I reached for the pen once more and this time, I forced myself to put pen to paper.

Yet as I wrote, it seemed like my words were inadequate, meaningless. I paused, reading over what I had written, and shook my head in frustration. It wasn't right, it wasn't enoug

    CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE KENDALL'S POINT OF VIEW The sight of his glowing eyes filled me with a primal fear, one that seemed to seep into my very bones."Declan, please," I pleaded, "You're scaring me."But he didn't seem to hear me, lost in the grip of his own rage. His fists clenched at his sides, his entire body vibrating with barely contained fury.He got up from the bed and then, in a sudden burst of movement, he lunged forward, his hands closing around my shoulders with a vice-like grip. I cried out in pain"Tell me the truth, Kendall," he snarled, his voice a low, guttural growl. "Or so help me, I'll make you regret it."Tears welled in my eyes as I stared up at him, my body trembling with fear.He shook me violently, “Tell me!" he roared, "Tell me what you know about that night!"Tears streamed down my cheeks, mingling with the fear that clenched my heart in its icy grip. I shook my head frantically, my voice choked with sobs as I pleaded for mercy.“Please, Declan….let go of me.

    CHAPTER FIFTY-TWOKENDALL'S POINT OF VIEW As the guard pulled me away, I watched as the others restrained Declan's wolf form with chains. His struggles were fierce and desperate and he continued to fight against the chains.But despite his best efforts, the chains did not budge. Eventually, Declan's struggles grew weaker, his movements slowing as exhaustion began to take its toll.His snarls turned to pained groans, his body sagging against the chains that bound him.Finally, with a final, weary sigh, Declan shifted back into his human form, collapsing to the ground. His chest rose and fell with each ragged breath and his eyes closed.I felt a pang of sympathy for himm. Despite the danger he had posed, despite the fear he had instilled in me, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of sorrow.The guard that held me turned to me with a look of concern in his eyes. "Let me escort you inside, ma'am," he said gently.I nodded, “Yes please.” I said and he also nodded, leading the way. I was hu

    Chapter Fifty-threeDeclan’s POVI could sense that it was hard to remember something but the issue now was that it was very hard for me to recollect what I wanted to. I knew it was something valuable and something that was really going to help me out with this puzzle that’s been going on repeatedly in my head but I had no luck.“Does anything matter to you? You seem very bothered. Do you need anything or are you feeling sick? “I knew telling Kendall anything that’s happening to me right now I was only going to put her in a very confused and devastated state and that was the last thing I wanted anything going wrong with her or my baby.“I’m doing very well. I’m just a little bit tired right now so that’s the only thing that is on my mind. You have nothing to worry about, you know. “I said with a very convincing smile plastered on my face.I didn’t know if Kendall actually bought what I said because I did not sound that believable to myself but she better did because I did not want to

    CHAPTER FIFTY–FOURDeclan’s POVI deepened the kiss, and Kendall’s arms wrapped around my neck, pulling me closer as our lips moved in perfect harmony.aAs we kissed, it seemed as though there was an irresistible pull, drawing us closer and closer until we pressed tightly together.My hands moved to her back, tracing every inch of it. I had never felt such hunger before—it was taking over my body and mind.It was as though my soul was craving every inch of her. Fuck.My lips left hers, working their way down to her jawline. My breath was hot and heavy against her skin. When I reached her neck, she gasped as my teeth gently grazed her skin.“Declan…” she called out to me in a moan. She melted into my embrace, tilting her head back as her hand left my broad shoulders and went down to my back.I got up on my feet, pulling her up with me. I lifted her into my arms, straddling her legs around my torso as I led her to her desk.Gently, I lowered her onto the table.“Did you really want to d

    Chapter Fifty-sevenKendall’s POVMy childhood home was right ahead. A ball of nerves tightened in my stomach. I was excited that I was going to see my family again after such a long time. But the excitement was only short-lived as it was warred with a deep-seated fear of my father’s disapproval.“Everything alright, love?” Declan asked, his voice calm as he pulled the car to a stop. The warmth of his hand enveloped mine.“It’s just…complicated,” I confessed, letting out a shaky breath. I longed for the easy relationship I shared with my sister and the comforting embrace of my mother. But the presence of my father, his harsh words echoing in the recesses of my mind, made things a lot more difficult.“Talk to me,” Declan urged, his gaze steady and unwavering. I knew I could tell him anything, confide in him my deepest fears.“I miss them, Declan,” I admitted, the words tumbling out in a rush. “I miss the familiar routines, my mother, my sister, the feeling of belonging.” A lump

    Chapter Fifty-eightKendall’s POV“I don’t believe them,” I whispered, my voice barely a breath. “There’s something they’re not telling us.”Declan placed a comforting hand on my shoulder, “Let’s go find your father,” he said, “Maybe he can shed some light on this.”The suggestion that was once unthinkable, now seemed like the only viable option. With Declan behind me, I marched towards the corner where I’d last seen my father, his imposing figure shrouded in shadows. “Father,” I began, my voice trembling slightly. “Do you know where little sister and Mom are?”He shifted his gaze to me, his expression unreadable. There was nothing but silence between us. But before he could speak, a woman, the same head Luna who had presided over the meeting, appeared beside him.“The Luna’s are unavailable, dear,” she interjected, “They have… important matters to attend to.”Her words were a blatant lie, and the knowing glint in her eyes confirmed it. This was orchestrated, a deliberate att

    Chapter Fifty-sixKendall’s POVI began to pack my things getting ready to go where I was supposed to go which was following Olivia as Declan had suggested.I packed everything I could possibly need, humming to myself as I did. I hadn’t seen Declan since he told me to pack up and I wondered where he had gone.Probably to Olivia to talk to her. She was downstairs and maybe making breakfast to eat.As I finished packing, I quickly ran downstairs with my bags, ignoring what Declan had said earlier. He’d told me to leave my bags when I was done packing, that he’ll bring downstairs himself but I didn’t see the point. It wasn’t very heavy anyway and I had carried much heavier.I found Declan coming upstairs as I was taking my bags downstairs.He glared at me.And marched upstairs even faster.“You just never listen, do you?” He glared at me and dragged the bag from my hands.“I’m sorry, I couldn’t find you ..”I pouted.“No, you didn’t look for me. Are there any more bags in the room?”He

It was a day filled with laughter, tears, and overwhelming joy, as we celebrated our love and commitment to each other.And then, four months later, our joy knew no bounds as I gave birth to twin boys, healthy and strong, who bore a striking resemblance to their father. Holding them in my arms for the first time, I felt a sense of completeness wash over me, knowing that our family was now complete.A week later, as the moonlight filtered through the curtains of our quarters, causing a warmth over the room, I stood watching our twin boys sleep peacefully in their crib. Their tiny chests rose and fell in perfect rhythm, a sight that never failed to fill my heart with warmth and gratitude.Suddenly, I felt Declan’s presence behind me.

The air was filled with laughter and music as we ate and drank, the scent of roasted meat and spiced wine mingling in the air.Around the fire, our pack members shared tales of bravery and triumph, their voices raised in joyful celebration. Kendall’s mother, her face illuminated by the flickering flames, shared stories of her own, her words a testament to the strength and resilience of our pack.As the night wore on, the tension of our recent battles faded into the background, replaced by a sense unity.

    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

    Chapter 147Kendall’s POVI sat in the small tent, my heart heavy with worry and fear for Declan and the men at war. 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

    Chapter 146Kendall’s POVOver the next hours, the palace courtyard buzzed with the energy of warriors readying themselves for battle. 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
