Chapter 56 “T-this is what you wanted?”

Author POV

Selena jolted awake to the sound of something crashing against her window. Heart pounding, she glanced at Betty, who was still fast asleep beside her, oblivious to the noise. Slowly, Selena got out of bed and approached the window, peering out into the night. What she saw made her heart stop—a massive army blanketing the grounds, surrounding the pack’s territory.

In the distance, children and women screamed, their cries mixing with the sounds of weapons clashing. Blood painted the streets as innocent men fell under brutal attacks, bodies strewn across the ground. Selena’s breath hitched, and a wave of cold sweat washed over her. Her legs gave way, and she sank to the floor, overwhelmed by terror. This can’t be happening…

Suddenly, the door slammed open. Hudson stormed in, his face twisted with anger. His presence seemed to fill the room, and his gaze locked onto her with pure fury.

"How dare you, Selena?" he spat, his voice trembling with rage. "How dare you betray me!"
