Adriel's POVEver since we arrived, the twins were full of stories from their time at the pack, each word bubbling over with excitement as they recounted their adventures. Rose and I listened with rapt attention, my heart swelling with pride as they spoke about their newfound friends and the activities they had taken part in. They were growing older with every passing moment."Leilani, Lucien, you both have made us so proud," I said, tousling their hair. "You've already started building strong connections within the pack. I'm so proud."Leilani beamed up at me. "Daddy, we even helped organize a scavenger hunt with the other kids! I wish you were there though."Lucien chimed in, his eyes shining. "And we learned about tracking from Uncle!"After promising to give them a big reward, as the evening sky darkened and stars began to twinkle overhead, Rose and I tucked the twins into our bed. "Goodnight, my little ones," Rose whispered, pressing a kiss to each of their foreheads."Sweet dr
Adriel's POVI exchanged a quick glance with Rose, our minds working in a duo to process the gravity of the situation. "Aiden, have you been able to gather any information about the attackers?"Aiden nodded, his jaw clenched. "Yes, we've captured a couple of them. They're not from any neighboring packs or groups we've dealt with before…"I leaned back in my chair, my mind racing as I tried to connect the dots. "This sounds like a well-organized group with a specific motive. They're not just targeting us randomly. They must have a reason for hitting our businesses."Rose's voice was steady, her eyes narrowing in thought. "Could it be a rival pack trying to weaken us?"Aiden shook his head. "I don't think so. The attackers don't seem to have any allegiance to known packs, and their tactics are different. It's almost as if they're working for someone else."I rubbed my temples, feeling the weight of responsibility pressing down on me. "We need to find out who's behind this and why. Our b
Adriel's POV"Not yet my love. Let's wait a bit." I answered. "But why?" She retorted, clearly not happy with my decision and I gave her a smile. "I have my reasons, my love. Just trust me on this. But now that we know what they are up to we are increasing our defenses. Nothing would go wrong.""Okay," she said and left. Leaving Aiden and I working on what to do next. The next morning, the sun's warm rays filtered through the sheer curtains, casting a gentle glow across the rustic dining room. The scent of freshly brewed coffee mingled with the aroma of cooked food, creating an enticing atmosphere that beckoned us to the breakfast table.My wife, Rose, and I exchanged a smile as we watched our twins, Lucien and Leilani, energetically take their seats."Good morning, my little champions," I greeted them with a chuckle, ruffling Lucien's unruly hair and placing a kiss on Leilani's forehead."Morning, Dad!" they chimed in unison, their bright eyes gleaming with excitement. At almost s
Adriel's POVI held Rose's hands firmly, looking deep into her eyes. "No, Rose. Retaliating now might escalate things further. We need to be cautious and gather more evidence before we make a move. For the sake of others, please."She bit her lip, frustration evident in her expression. "Others? Did he think of others before attacking us?""No, Rose. And that's why we're not him. Before anything, think of Grandma Grace and Uncle.""I understand, Adriel. But it's just infuriating to see him trying to destroy everything we've built. What's his problem?"I nodded, empathizing with her anger. "I know how you feel, but acting on impulse won't help anyone. We have to approach this strategically, expose his intentions, and bring him down without giving him the upper hand."Rose sighed, her shoulders slumping slightly. "You're right, Adriel. It's just hard to stay patient when our legacy is on the line.""I know it's difficult, Rose," I said gently, giving her hands a reassuring squeeze. "But
In his dimly lit hideout in the Denver's pack, Luke paced back and forth, his face etched with a mix of anticipation and impatience. He meticulously planned the attack, counting on the element of surprise to sow chaos and weaken his targets. Now, all he could do was wait for the confirmation that his plan had been executed flawlessly.Seated in a shadowed corner of the room, someone tapped the screen and a few tense moments passed before a notification blinked on the screen, indicating a response.Luke's heart raced as he strode over to the figure, his voice a low growl. "Well? Did you succeed? Was the package opened?"The figure's fingers danced over the touchscreen, pulling up the transmitted data. "The package was successfully delivered and opened," the voice replied, monotone and devoid of emotion.Luke's lips curled into a malicious grin. "And the impact? Tell me everything."The figure continued to type, pulling up detailed reports and analysis. "The explosion was contained with
Luke's Office.The lady's smile didn't waver as she adjusted her sunglasses, seemingly unfazed by Luke's skepticism. "You may call me Fena."Sienna exchanged a wary glance with Luke, the tension in the room increasing. "Who is the woman? Do you know her from somewhere?" she asked through mind link."No, I don't. This is the first time I'm seeing her too," Luke answered.Sienna faced her. "And why should we trust you, Miss Fena? Why do you want to help us in defeating Adriel?"Fena leaned back in her chair, her fingers tapping rhythmically against the armrest. "You don't have to trust me, but I have information that could be of great interest to you."Luke crossed his arms, his eyes narrowing. "What kind of information?"Fena's lips curled into a smirk as she looked directly at Luke. "Information about Adriel's past, his vulnerabilities, his secrets. Things that could help you bring him to his knees. Isn't that what you want?"Sienna's brows furrowed. "Yes, it is. But Why would you wan
"Something like that," Emily answered.Sienna leaned forward, curious. "Tell us everything, Mother. We need all the insight we can get."Emily took a seat at the table, her gaze steady as she began her tale. "Alpha Gabriel and Luna Isabella ruled with the people, just like Adriel. To weaken their hold on the pack, we used a combination of psychological warfare and strategic sabotage. It wasn't about brute force, but about undermining their authority and creating divisions within their ranks."Fena leaned in, her expression intense. "How did you do it?"Emily nodded, her eyes taking on a distant look. "First, we focused on planting seeds of doubt and mistrust among their most loyal followers. We carefully leaked information that made them question the motives of their leaders, causing internal conflicts and undermining their unity. With me in the pack house and Luna Isabella away, it was relatively easy.Luke's eyes lit up with realization. "Like we're planning to do with Adriel's pack
"Sienna, I don't know where you are but run to your husband and warn him. It's not safe to continue!" Fena warned.Amid the tension and warnings, Sienna came to her husband's side, her expression a mix of concern and determination. She placed a hand on his arm, her touch urging him to reconsider. "Luke, we need to listen to reason. If Adriel has found out, it's too dangerous to continue."Luke's gaze remained fixed in the distance, his jaw clenched in determination. "Sienna, this is our chance. We can't let it slip away. I won't back down now."Sienna's voice was laced with worry. "But…." Luke's grip on his weapon tightened, his resolve unyielding. "But nothing! I won't let Adriel take everything from us. We've come too far."The man who had warned them urged them once again, his voice desperate. "Alpha, we're outnumbered. We can't win this."Ignoring the pleas and warnings, Luke turned to Fena, his eyes unwavering. "We're going in."Fena's voice was tinged with frustration. "Luke, y
