CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED FOUR

KING DAMISUS Point of View

The palace hallways echoed with my footsteps as I made my way toward Jonathan's quarters. Guards straightened as I passed, their eyes sharp and ready to prey. I didn't acknowledge them. My mind was focused on the matter at hand—the missing goods that had been promised to my pack. I had given Jonathan some time to sort out whatever complications he claimed were holding up the delivery. Three days had passed since our phone conversation, and I was becoming impatient. I guess it was for a physical meeting. Two guards stood outside Jonathan's study, their postures stiffened when they saw me coming. They both exchanged nervous glances before one knocked on the door. "Alpha King Damisus to see you, sir," he announced. There was a brief pause, then Jonathan's voice called out, "Let him in." The guard pushed open the door, and I went in without further invitation. He was seated behind his desk, papers spread out before him. He looked up as

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED FIVE DAMON Point of View I stood in front of Jason's room, my eyes fixed on his door. I hesitated at the entrance, my hand poised to knock on the heavy metal door. Our last encounter hadn't exactly been friendly. The memory of his face contorted with rage and betrayal was still fresh in my mind. I had no choice. With Jay's information about Tyla's imprisonment weighing heavily on my conscience, I needed allies, and Jason was one of the few people I trusted with something this delicate. If he would even speak to me, that is. Taking a deep breath, I rapped my knuckles against the door, the sound echoing in the empty alley. No response. I knocked again, harder this time. "Jason," I called out. "It's Damon. We need to talk." Silence stretched for several long moments. Then, just as I was about to turn away, the sound of locks disengaging reached my ears. The door cracked open an inch, and a single eye peered out at me. "What do you want?" The voice was familiar, but

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIX THIRD POV The grand council chamber felt suffocating as Jonathan stood before the assembled leadership. Eight alphas from neighboring territories sat in a semicircle, their expressions ranging from barely concealed contempt to outright hostility. Behind them, dozens of elders, betas, and select gammas filled the tiered seating, creating a wall of judgmental stares that bore down on Jonathan from every angle. The air in the chamber was overcomed with tension. What should have been a routine council meeting had quickly devolved into something resembling a trial, with Jonathan as the accused. "These accusations are absurd," Jonathan said, struggling to keep his voice steady as he addressed the gathering. "I had no hand in the missing goods. None whatsoever." Alpha Jamel leaned forward, his massive frame casting a shadow across the polished stone floor. His nostrils flared slightly as he spoke, barely containing his rage. "Then perhaps you can explain how an

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVEN JONATHAN Point of View I watched the Alpha King stand up for me, offering a lifeline when everyone else was ready to cut me loose. But instead of the gratitude I should have felt, a storm of anxiety churned in my gut. The other alphas and elders weren't really in support of it. "We've already extended too much leniency," one of the older elders disagreed. "How many more chances must we give before acknowledging what's plainly before us?" Alpha Jamel nodded in agreement, his massive frame seeming to expand with his anger. 'My pack has suffered real consequences while we wait. Empty stomachs. Weakened defenses. These aren't trivial matters. We are running out of weapons, and if we peradventure get attacked, how will we fight?" Jamel's statements were selfish. One would think that he was the only Alpha who had things in the shipment that got missing. I wanted to speak, to defend myself again, but the glares directed my way made it clear my words held no va

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT DAMON Point of View I couldn't sleep. Not with Tyla locked away somewhere I couldn't reach her. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her face. Was she hurt? Scared? Did she think I'd abandoned her? My desk was covered with crumpled papers. failed rescue plans, each one more desperate than the last. The coffee in my mug had gone cold hours ago, but I drank it anyway, grimacing at the bitter taste. Anything to keep me awake, to keep me thinking. God, I was so tired. I leaned back in my chair, rubbing my burning eyes. The stubble on my face was rough under my fingers. When was the last time I'd showered? Eaten something that wasn't brought to me by worried packmates? I couldn't remember. How the hell was I supposed to get to her? Jonathan had her locked down tight. Guards everywhere. Surveillance. It was like trying to break into a fortress with a plastic spoon. "Damn it," I muttered, shoving away from the desk. The chair rolled back and hit the wall with a

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINE DAMON Point of View I paced back and forth, my patience wearing thin as I waited for Jay to arrive. The meeting spot we'd chosen was secluded enough that we wouldn't be overheard, but the waiting was driving me crazy. Every second that passed felt like forever, and my mind kept replaying the events of the past few weeks. When I finally spotted him approaching through the trees, I delt both relief and anger at the same time. Jay moved with the confident stride of someone who held power, but there was something guarded in his expression, a wariness that hadn't been there before. Jay nodded as he reached me. "Damon." "We need to talk," I said, cutting straight to the point. "About Jonathan." Jay's expression hardened, but he said nothing, waiting for me to continue. "Why is he doing this to me?" I demanded, unable to keep the frustration from my voice. My hands clenched into fists at my sides, and I had to consciously force them to relax. "I already let him

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TEN DAMON Point of View The persistent knocking on my door pulled me from my thoughts. I had been sitting in the darkness of my living room for hours, replaying my conversation with Jay over and over in my mind. Jonathan's cruelty, Jay's revelation, the complexity of it all weighed on me like a physical burden. With a sigh, I got up from the chair and made my way to the door. I wasn't expecting anyone, and frankly, I wasn't in the mood for company. Whoever it was could come back tomorrow or preferably never. But when I forcefully opened the door, ready to dismiss the unwelcomed visitor, the words died in my throat. Jessica stood on my doorstep. Her eyes, once so bright and kind, now looked hollow and uncertain. She had changed in the weeks since I'd last seen her. Thinner, paler, with a nervous energy that made her fingers twist together continuously. "Damon," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "Can I come in?" Every mind screamed at me to shut the d

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN JESSICA Point of View The door slammed in my face with a finality that echoed through my entire body. I stood there, frozen on Damon's porch, as if waiting for something. Forgiveness, perhaps, or understanding. Neither came. Only silence stretched between me and the closed door, a barrier as impenetrable as the wall I had built around my heart. "Tyla didn't abandon me." I whispered the words into the night air, testing their truth on my tongue. The realization crashed through me like a wave, washing away the foundation of lies I'd been standing on. All this time, I had believed Jonathan's whispered lies, that Tyla had been glad to get rid of me, that she hadn't even looked for me, that she'd moved on without a second thought. But she had searched. She had looked everywhere. She had lost sleep. For me. I stumbled down the steps of Damon's house, my vision blurred by the tears I couldn't hold back anymore. The night was cool, the breeze carrying the scen

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVE ALPHA KING DAMISUS Point of View My fingers drummed against the desk as I watched the printer spit out page after page. Each new sheet revealed another piece of bank transfers, shell companies, dates that aligned perfectly with the hijacking. I'd been tracking these transactions for days, staying up late after council meetings, calling in favors from contacts in the financial world. Now it was all coming together. "Gotcha, you sneaky bastard," I muttered, picking up a particularly damning statement showing a large transfer just two days before the hijacking. I rubbed my eyes, feeling the burn of dizziness. The printer finally stopped, and I gathered the warm pages, scanning them one last time. My hands weren't entirely steady. Anxiety? Exhaustion? Maybe both. I carefully slid everything into a manila envelope and sealed it. I called my most trusted courier and he appeared almost instantly at my study door. His eyes, always alert, took in my disheveled

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SEVEN THIRD POV Three months had passed since the pack's last gathering, and the air was electric with excitement as the Cornrow Pack prepared to witness a historic moment – the coronation of their new Alpha King, Damon. The sun was setting over the pack's territory, casting a warm orange glow over the gathered crowd. The atmosphere was alive with chatter and laughter as the pack members eagerly awaited the ceremony. At the center of the gathering stood an elegant stage, adorned with intricate carvings and symbols of the pack's heritage. Before the stage, a beautifully crafted altar held a delicate, gemstone-encrusted crown, awaiting its new owner. The Luna ceremony was about to commence, and Tyla, Damon's chosen mate, stood poised and radiant, her long, dark hair cascading down her back like a waterfall of night. Her eyes shone with happiness as she gazed at Damon, who stood beside her, his eyes burning with adoration. Elara, the eldest elder, steppe

I had gotten my revenge on Jonathan, but it didn't feel as satisfying as I thought it would. Instead, I felt lost and uncertain. I had been so focused on my quest for revenge that I hadn't thought about what would come next. Now that Jonathan was out of the picture, I was left to pick up the pieces and figure out how to move forward. As the Alpha of the Cornrow Pack, I had a responsibility to my pack members. But I couldn't shake the feeling that I wasn't ready to lead. I was still reeling from the aftermath of my encounter with Jonathan, and I didn't know if I had the strength or the courage to take on the challenges that lay ahead. But as I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, I knew that I couldn't stay hidden away forever. I had to face my fears and my doubts head-on. I had to find a way to move forward, to heal and

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE JAY Point of View I walked away from Damon, feeling a mix of emotions swirling inside me. I was worried about Jess, and I regretted the way I had treated her. I couldn't believe how I had ignored her, pushed her away when she needed me most. I had been so caught up in my own problems, my own guilt and shame, that I had neglected the one person who truly cared about me. Now, it seemed like it was too late. Jess was hurt, and I didn't blame her. I had broken her trust, and I didn't know if I could ever repair it. I felt a pang of sadness and regret. I wished I could go back in time, do things differently. I wished I could amend things, make it right between us. But it was too late now. The damage was done, and all I could do was hope that someday, somehow, Jess would be able to forgive me. I sighed, feeling a sense of despair wash over me. I had messed up, and now I had to live with the consequences. I walked back to my quarters, feeling lost and

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FOUR DAMON point of View I stood in front of the large map of our territory, studying it intently. We had been searching for the missing goods for weeks, and I was determined to finally recover them. I had been working tirelessly, following every lead, every hint, every rumor. I had spoken to every pack member, every ally, every enemy. And finally, after all this time, I had a breakthrough. I had received a tip from a reliable source that the missing goods were being hidden in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of our territory. I had assembled a team of my most trusted pack members, and we were ready to move. We arrived at the warehouse under the cover of darkness. We moved stealthily, our eyes scanning the area for any signs of danger. I gave a hand signal, and my team moved into position. We burst into the warehouse, our flashlights illuminating the dark space. And there, in the center of the room, were the missing goods. Crates of food, medi

Damon walked into the room, his eyes locked onto Tyla's. "Hey, Jess, can I talk to you for a minute?" he asked, his voice soft. I nodded, curious. "What's up, Damon?" I asked, walking over to him. Damon's eyes locked onto mine, his expression serious. "I was wondering if you'd consider not going with Tyla back to the Cornrow pack," he said, his voice filled with emotion. I raised an eyebrow, surprised. "Why?" I asked, curious. Tyla spoke up, her voice soft. "Because, Jess, I need some time to heal. And everything in the Cornrow pack...it's just too much. It'll never let me heal." I nodded, understanding. I knew that Tyla had been through a lot, and the Cornrow pack was a constant reminder of her past. I couldn't blame her for wanting to get away from it all. "Okay, Tyla," I said, smiling softly. "I'll

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY Two DAMON point of View As we sat there, hands clasped together, the tension between us was palpable. It was as if the weight of our confessions had lifted a burden off our shoulders, and we were finally free to express our true feelings. I looked into Tyla's eyes, and I saw the same desire reflected back at me. Without a word, I leaned in, my lips brushing against hers in a gentle, tender kiss. Tyla's response was immediate, her lips parting to deepen the kiss. I felt a surge of passion run through me, and I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her close. We kissed for what felt like hours, our lips locked together in a passionate, all-consuming kiss. I felt like I was home, like I had finally found the missing piece of my soul. As we broke apart for air, I looked into Tyla's eyes and saw the same love, the same desire reflected back at me. Without a word, I stood up, pulling her to her feet, and led her to the bedroom. We made love with a passion, a

It had been a long day, filled with tension and drama. Jessica safely tucked away in bed, I had a chance to unwind. Jessica had complained about feeling sleepy, and I had asked Tyla to put her to sleep. Iwas starting to relax when, I heard a soft voice behind me. "Damon, can I talk to you?" I turned to see Tyla standing in the doorway, her eyes hesitant. I nodded, gesturing for her to come in. She walked over to the couch and sat down beside me, her eyes fixed on mine. "I wanted to talk to you about what happened today," she said, her voice soft. I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What about it?" I asked, my tone neutral. Tyla took a deep breath before speaking. "I know you're still angry with me, and I don't blame you. But I want you to know that I never chose Jonathan over you. I was just playing along with him, trying to get clos

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY TYLA Point of View I watched as Damon pulled out his phone and dialed a number. He spoke in a low tone, his words indistinguishable, but his expression told me that he was giving orders. Suddenly, a group of pack members appeared out of nowhere, their faces somber as they surveyed the scene before them. Damon nodded at them, and they quickly sprang into action. "Take Jessica's car and Jonathan's car away from here," Damon instructed, his voice firm. "Take them back to the cornrow pack." The pack members nodded, their movements swift and efficient as they worked to remove the cars from the scene. I watched, still trying to process everything that had happened. Damon turned to us, his eyes locking onto mine and Jessica's. "Let's get out of here," he said, his voice soft. "We'll take my car." Jessica nodded, her eyes still shining with tears. I followed her lead, my body feeling numb and disconnected. As we walked towards Damon's car, I couldn't help but

We both knew that Jonathan was beyond reason, and that our pleas were falling on deaf ears. We held each other tightly, waiting for the inevitable. I could feel Tyla's heart racing against mine, and I knew that she was bracing herself for the impact. I was doing the same, my mind racing with thoughts of our families, our friends, and our pack. We were going to leave them behind, and the thought was almost too much to bear. But then, just as Jonathan's finger was about to pull the trigger, we heard the sound of gunshots ringing out through the air. Tyla's grip on me tightened, and I felt her body tense up, preparing for the impact. But it never came. Instead, we heard Jonathan's cry of pain, and the sound of his body crashing to the ground. Tyla and I slowly opened our eyes, our hearts still racing with fear. That's when we saw him... Damon, standing
