Chapter Seven

Declan’s POV

As the last of the rogues fled, defeated, Kendall turned to me, her eyes beaming with tears in them. “Are they gone? Are we safe now?” she whispered questions.

Turning to her, I offered a reassuring smile, though I could see the fear lingering in her eyes. “Don’t worry, Kendall,” I said, my voice calm and steady. “We’re safe now. The rogues won’t dare to attack us again.”

Kendall nodded, though her expression remained tense with worry. I could understand her apprehension; it was only natural to fear the unknown, especially in times of danger.

I knew that my pack was more than capable of handling any threat that came our way. “Alpha,” one of my men approached. “We’ve taken care of them, but a few managed to escape into the woods. What are your orders?”

But with the arrangements for the wedding already made, there was no turning back now. The ride back to my father’s pack for the ceremony was a silent one, filled with tension and unspoken resentment between us.

Throughout the journey, I didn’t say a word to Declan, and he seemed content to let the silence stretch between us. Perhaps he too was wrestling with his own doubts and fears, or maybe he simply didn’t care.As we arrived at my fa

Every rustle of leaves, every snap of twigs sent shivers down my spine, but I pushed on, driven by the desperate need to escape.My breath came in gasps as I ran, my muscles burning with exertion. I didn’t know where I was going, didn’t have a plan beyond putting as much distance between myself and Declan as possible.But as I emerged into a clearing, the moonlight casting a glow over the landscape, I saw a path leading towards the mountains in the distance.

His eyes shone with a wild hunger, his sharp teeth revealing in a menacing snarl. I knew I had to fight for my life, but the fear coursing through me threatened to paralyze me.“Kill him, Kendall,” Declan’s voice echoed through the darkness, his tone mocking. “That’s the only way you’ll ever leave this place.”I shook my head in disbelief, tears streaming down my cheeks as I realized the gravity of the situation. How could I possibly fight against such a powerful and dangerous creature?Staring back in horror at the wolf man before me, his eyes shining red with rage, I felt a chill run down my spine. Declan’s words echoed in my mind, his cruel demand hanging in the air like a death sentence.I glanced back towards Declan. “What?” I replied, shocked by his words."You heard what I said, Kendall,” he taunted, his voice cold and

Declan had stationed a guard outside my door, a constant reminder of the prison I was trapped in.I glanced out the window, but the darkness of the night offered no comfort to me, no trace of hope. With a heavy sigh, I turned away from the window and began to undress, the blood-stained fabric clinging to my skin, a reminder of the horrors I had endured in that cell. I stepped into the shower, letting the hot water wash over me, cleansing away the blood and grime from my wounds. As the water cascaded down my body, I felt a sense of numbness creeping over me, a detachment from the pain that seemed to define my existence.But even as I tried to push the thoughts from my mind, the memory of the wolf man’s savage attack remained, haunting me like a ghost. Stepping out of the shower, I wrapped a towel around my body and made my way over to the

    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

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
