Chapter 77Mara's POV Ethan grabbed the man and punched him across the face, the impact sending the rogue stumbling backward. “You won’t get away with this,” Ethan growled, his voice low.A few other pack members quickly arrived attracted by the noise. “Ethan what are you doing?” Someone questioned. “The lycan Queen will punish us severely for this”“This man is no spy sent by the Queen, he is just a rogue, arrest him” Ethan ordered and they stepped in, pulling the rogue away from Ethan and restraining him. The man struggled, but it was no use. He was outnumbered and overpowered."Take him to the holding cells," Ethan ordered, his voice steady. The pack members nodded, dragging the rogue away as he spat curses under his breath.I knelt down and picked up the rogue’s phone, my hands trembling. The screen was still on the message he had sent: “The Lycan is in the pack. My cover is blown.” My heart pounded as I scrolled through his texts, desperately searching for more information. The

ChapterMara's POV As Ethan stood up to leave, I felt consumed by guilt. “Ethan, I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings.”He paused by the door, turning back to face me. “Mara, it’s okay. I’m the one who should apologize. I’ve been rushing things, and I didn’t think about how you might feel.”I shook my head, trying to hold back tears. “No, it’s not just that. I’ve been so overwhelmed by everything. I didn’t mean to push you away, but I just need some time to sort through everything.”Ethan walked over to me, his expression soft and understanding. “I get it. We’re all dealing with a lot right now. And I should have been more patient.”I nodded, trying to force a smile through my tears. “Thank you for understanding. I really appreciate it.”He gave me a reassuring smile, then turned to leave. “Take care of yourself, Mara. I’ll see you soon.”As the door closed behind him, the room felt emptier. I tried to push the emotions aside, but they overwhelmed me.I sank to the f

Chapter Mara's POV "Ethan, I swear, I wasn't lying," I said, my voice trembling with a mix of anger and fear. "I saw Lia put something in my drink."He sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Mara, I believe you. But the others... they don't. They think you're causing trouble."I could feel the weight of their judgment even now, like a heavy blanket smothering me. "Why don't they believe me? Lia is the one causing trouble, not me."Ethan stepped closer, his eyes softening. "They've known her for a long time, Mara. It's hard for them to see her doing something like this.""But she did!" I insisted, my voice rising. "She planned this, Ethan. She wanted to provoke me and make herself look like the victim."He looked at me, his eyes filled with sympathy. "I know. I believe you. But convincing the others is going to be difficult."I buried my face in my hands, feeling the weight of everything pressing down on me. "What am I supposed to do, Ethan? They think I'm the one causing problems

Chapter 80Rhys' POVI felt hope burst through me if Mara was alive even if the chances were slim I had to know and I had to find out, there was no corner of the earth I wouldn't search to find her.“Please tell me there's some spell you can use to find out if Mara is alive” I pleaded desperately, Elera frowned her brows deep in thought,"Alpha I would love to help you but you know this spell requires a lot of power," she said, her voice gentle but firm. "It's not something I can do lightly."I remembered the last witch who had cast the spell next to Duncan. She didn't seem fazed or break a sweat, was it because she was powerful or that was just a show they put up so I could believe Mara was dead."I understand," I replied, trying to keep the desperation out of my voice. "But I need to know if she's alive. Please, Elera I'll owe you for life if you help me get Mara"She seemed to contemplate for while before she nodded, “I'll need something of Mara's to help do a location spell” she

ChapterMara's POVEthan nodded in refusal, blocking the door. “Mara, you’re not ready for this. You need to stay inside,” he said firmly.“No, Ethan. I am the reason for the rogue attack. I have to help fight. I can’t just sit here and do nothing.”Ethan’s face was set in a grim line. “You’re not trained for this. It’s too dangerous. You’re staying here.”Before I could argue further, Ethan grabbed my shoulders and gently but firmly pushed me into the room, closing the door behind him.“I'll get you out after the fight” he promised then I heard the sound of the lock clicking into place. “Ethan, don't do this!” I banged on the door, yelling for him to let me out, but he didn’t respond. Panic surged through me as the sounds of battle grew louder outside.I couldn’t stay here. I had to help. I searched the room desperately, my eyes landing on a small window. It wasn’t large, but it might be enough. I managed to pry it open and squeezed through, landing awkwardly on the ground outside.

Chapter Mara's POV“What nonsense is this!” Ethan yelled standing in front of me, I clunged to him ducking my head behind dying of guilt.“We should be asking you the same question, how long did you think you were going to hide it from us that your wife is the reason the rogues have been attacking us persistently” the elderly man snapped and the crowd cheered in support.“She has been a problem from day one, who knows what she has done to provoke them to enrage them to get their revenge!”“Please you all need to calm down. I can vouch you it is not what you think- Ethan began speaking but was cut off sharply.“We are tired of your lies and you hiding stuff from us!”“Yes!” The crowd roared.“Listen the pack is in a bad shape, a riot won't fix anything” Ethan kept speaking trying to defend me but they didn't listen.“The pack is in a bad state because of her a lot of lives has been lost keeping her in this pack we want her banished before she is the cause of our deaths”“Yes!” They be

ChapterRhys' POV “It could be a coincidence though” Elera added but I nodded my head in negative, I wasn't going to rule out any leads or clues to finding Mara.“Dig deeper I will do the same from my end” Elera nodded.“I'll do my best Alpha” she assured them I nodded then left the room heading back.As I approached the training area, I spotted Sam resting off to the side, his expression relaxed. But when he saw me, his body tensed, and he quickly tried to join the others. I wasn’t about to let him slip away that easily. “At ease soldier” I ordered he stood still then gave a salute, I strode over and grabbed his arm gently but firmly.“Sam, you won't believe the amount of times you have been through my mind” I whispered, his eyes widened a fraction, shocked by my revelation.“I wonder why Alpha” he questioned despite trying to be respectful he couldn’t erase the arrogance in his tone.“I need to talk to you,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady. “Do you know where Mara is?”Sam’

ChapterRhy's POV“Alpha you must be ready for anything I'm afraid, if Mara really is in this pack her chances of surviving a rogue attack are slim this is a small pack and their defenses must be low since they have attacked twice now and that is to my knowledge they could be attacking as we speak” Elera explained making my heart skip a beat.No! I pushed the thought aside that Mara was dead, nothing seemed to make sense. How was everything connected?I was torn, conflicted trying to make sense of why the rogues would be after Mara. I couldn’t believe she’d seek power, but it seemed that they thought she was a threat. The only way to find out the truth was to go to the pack marked on the map and see for myself. I had to find out what was going on.“Guess there's only one way to find out, I'll head there tonight, I would need a disguise just in case something to keep me low till I can confirm what I need from the pack” Elera nodded understanding what I was trying to say.“I can help wi

Rhys's eyes were locked onto Mara’s irises as she held onto her silver flowing dress, with a soft smile creased on her face as she walked down the stairs.He couldn't help but stare at how beautiful she looked, walking down the stairs, graced in her beautiful silver dress.She was truly breathtaking, with her long red hair wrapped around in long waves with a small ribbon placed right on top. Her well-defined juicy lips with the upper lip almost in the shape of a heart that lingered a sweet, caring smile painted with deep crimson lipstick, and her pinkish cheeks and small apart little freckles all came into view when she came up close to Rhys. The space between them slowly closed up as the music by the garden sort of increased when he grabbed her by the hand.“You…” Rhys stuttered, staring into her eyes unable to look away. He’d slowly gone lost in them. Just when she etched closer, he leaned forward whispering into her ears. “You look so beautiful,” He said, with a smile creaesd on

Rhy’s POV Two rogues came barreling in. They were running right for me as I ducked taking both rogues down to the floor in seconds making sure to have them both wounded.I watched both rogues squirming on the floor as they clenched their throats and then I knelt on the floor and started shifting, seeing that I was slowly getting outnumbered. I stepped forward and then grabbed one of them stepping over top of him. And then I bared my teeth into his flesh, growling, forcing a permanent hole as I had him killed instantly as the others stood by watching the scene. A lot of rogue men hurried my way, coming in groups of four, and twos headed in my direction.My eyes for some annoying reason, slowly had its color changed under the influence of me being completely angry over the fact that she was being taken away by Giovanni and I was getting attacked by some unknown rogue men.“Where the hell are they coming from?” I scowled, trying to make my way through angry rogue men as they attacked.

RHYS POVMy knuckles gripped the steering wheel, turning white as I imagined all the ways I'd kill whoever must have done this.I wanted to make sure his death was so agonizingly painful that when I was done with him, he'd be begging for the blessings of death.Lost In my thoughts of torture, I didn't notice how much time had passed. I recognized the area immediately and felt relief pour through me as I neared the motel.I pulled up to the garage, squinting through the dark as I hopped out of my car. I walked close to the building, holding up my flashlight in the air.As I walked into the building, I realized there happened to be no locks on the door. I had my foot against the door, and in seconds the door creaked open.I flashed my light in the direction of the dark, knowing down my guts that it was somewhat dangerous being out here all alone. But I didn't care…Mara was all I cared about.I trudged further into the dark, with my eyes locked on the empty hallways up ahead. I wondered

Rhys POVI watched Talia walking out of the mansion quietly, a couple of days later. Her movements seemed quite suspicious as she hopped into her zooming off.I couldn't stand my Wolf from growling at the thought of her knowing something about Mara’s disappearance.I decided to follow her to find out where she was headed. The fact that I could have her whereabouts tracked by her scent made it quite easier.She took about four turns and then into an unknown part of the city before stopping in front of a bar. A bar is known only to be visited, by rebellions.“What the hell is she doing here?” I whispered to myself as I parked a few meters away from her, making sure to take full cover.I peeped through the rearview mirror of my car and saw that there was a black Benz parked behind me, blocking me from driving out. I lowered my head, to avoid being caught in the game.My eyes widened in shock at the realization of whom it was that had stepped out of the car.The one man I never imagined I

RHY’S POV I had my head lowered as I rummaged through the papers on my desk. I tried extremely hard to focus but the conversation from a couple of weeks ago with Yara, kept whirling in my head. “Go on,” My voice was short and my eyes never left the stack of papers. Ignoring the fact that I’d been on one paragraph for the last couple of hours. “We’ve already upped patrol on the border, but still no sign of her,” Dante spoke up, distressed all over his face as he stared back at me.“I'm open to more orders,” He added, as I leaned back in the chair keeping my eyes low.“We stay on the course, we stay scouting, we have to keep searching,” I said frustratingly.“We can't be sitting ducks, we have to do something—” I grimaced but then paused, the minute I realized I was beginning to over react.It had been a couple of months since she’d suddenly disappeared. A couple of months since we had dinner together and a couple of months since I’ve seen her smile.“Perhaps we could send out a few

Rhys's Pov.Yara's words pierced through my heart. "Rhys, listen to me. Mara would come to me if she needed help. She trusts me."Something stirred within me. A spark of hope."Mara would come to you?" I repeated.Yara nodded. "Of course, She has no one else."No one else? The weight of those words crushed me. Mara's isolation, Her loneliness, My failure.But Yara's next words ignited a fire. "Rhys, Mara didn't come to me. She didn't leave you."I felt a glimmer of hope, A chance. "Mara's still out there, in Giovanni's custody," I whispered.Waiting For me. Waiting for me to find her.

Rhys's PovI was left all alone at home. I paced through the darkness of my bedroom with bottles of Alcohol in both hands.Mara's note echoed in my mind. "I thought our love was stronger.""I thought you loved me." "I was wrong."Talia's words sliced through my haze. "Rhys, I'm here for you."Her hand touched my shoulder. I shrugged it off. "Leave me alone, Talia," I screamed at her."Rhys, please—""Get out!" I roared.Talia's eyes widened. "Rhys, I just want to help.""Help?" I sneered. "You've done enough."My anger boiled over. "You and your games, Your lies, Your manipulations."Talia stepped back. "Rhys, I'm sorry—""Sorry?" I laughed harshly. "Sorry isn't enough."I stood, swaying. The room spun.Talia's face blurred."Get out," I repeated. My voice cracked.Talia hesitated. Then turned and ran.The door slammed shut, I collapsed onto the couch.Whiskey spilled from my hand. Mara's face haunted me. Her smile, Her laughter, Her tears.My regret suffocated me. Why hadn't I told h

Rhys povI couldn't shake off the feeling that Talia was involved in Mara's disappearance.Her manipulations knew no bounds. But what if she'd played me from the start?A sudden memory flashed in my mind.How Talia had approached me with Her offer."I can work as a double spy for you and Giovanni," she'd said."I'll feed him false information while keeping you informed."Her expression was somber. "I have something to tell you, Rhys," she'd said."About Giovanni?" I prompted.Talia nodded. "And my involvement," she saidI gestured for her to continue."It all started months ago," Talia began. "Giovanni approached me, charming and persuasive, He promised me wealth, status, and power.""And you believed him?" I asked.Talia's eyes dropped. "I did. I thought he could offer me more than you could, Rhys."More than I could? The words stung."But then I realized..." Talia's voice trailed off."Realized what?" I asked."That I was just a tool," Talia said, her voice barely above a whisper."

I called out. But there was no answer, I frowned.Where was she? Where could she be by this time?I searched the house but I couldn't find her.'Maybe she wasn't home, or maybe she must have gone to her friend's place' I thought.But Mara wasn't the type to leave the house without letting anyone know.I checked our bedroom, and there was no sign of Mara and to my greatest shock, Her luggage was gone.A shiver ran down my spine.
