Chapter 144: Backstabber

last update Last Updated: 2024-07-14 19:21:17

Astrid’s POV

I grunted at the pounding headache that had overtaken my body. I can barely see straight — everything is blurry, and I feel so disoriented like I was drugged.

However, I haven’t eaten or drank anything this morning. It’s impossible that I was poisoned.

What’s happening to me is strange but also familiar. This was the same thing that happened to me the last time that I lost control of myself and attacked Asha.

First, there was that pounding headache, and then once the pain was gone… I suddenly lost control of my body.

I pressed my palms firmly against my temples as if I could somehow squeeze the pain out. But it’s no use. The throbbing only intensifies.

It feels like my brain is being squeezed in a vice-like grip. The pain is excruciating, radiating from the center of my skull down to my neck and shoulders.

Still, I tried my best to fight through the pain and keep my eyes open. I can’t let what happened last time happen again.

I’m afraid that if I allowed my wolf to

    Astrid’s POVI pressed my body on Killian as I leaned forward in pain. My lips twisted as the searing pain on my back tore through my whole body, my muscles tightening and my veins freezing. “A-Astrid,” Killian choked out, his eyes widening with horror when he saw the pain etched across my face. “W-What?” I choked out, panic flooding my senses as I started to realize what had just happened. I took in a deep breath when something sharp was yanked from my back. My body went rigid, and I squeezed Killian’s arms, my nails digging into his skin as the agony ripped through me. At that moment, time seemed to slow to a crawl. I could feel the blood pulsing in my ears, the air catching in my throat. Slowly, I looked down when I felt the wetness of blood begin to soak through my clothes. “No, no, no,” I heard Killian breathe, his voice thick with anguish after he followed my gaze. His words sounded distant, muffled as if I was underwater. I watched as his expression morphed into one

    Killian’s POVMy heart was relieved to see the Shadowfang Pack coming, knowing that they were the only ones who could save Astrid’s life. Even though I know that they would take Astrid away from me, I am more concerned about Astrid’s health. With the Shadowfang Pack behind Astrid’s Pack, I know Astrid will never need me anymore. She would be happy with Drystan and her friend Nova. All I just had to do was to avoid her if I really wanted her to be happy. I watched with trepidation as the members of the Shadowfang Pack who had just arrived came to approach us. I held Astrid’s limp, bleeding form tightly against my chest, fear and anxiety coursing through me. Yet, despite my wariness, a flicker of relief sparked within me. The Shadowfang Pack were Astrid’s people — they were the only ones who could provide the medical care that Astrid needed. They came right in time to save her. Still, deep inside my heart, below the great relief that I felt with the Shadowfang Pack’s prese

    Alpha Theron’s POVThe air in the hallway felt thick and suffocating as I paced anxiously outside the emergency room doors. Astrid is in there, fighting for her life after the horrific accident. I had rushed her here as quickly as I could. We were able to give her first aid treatment along the way and stop her bleeding, but serious damage had already been done. She had already lost so much blood when we arrived at the scene. The first aid treatment that we gave her could only do so much. With each passing minute, my heart raced faster. Astrid and I had only just met; we hadn’t even gotten close to each other yet. I can’t bear to lose her again, especially at death this time. I still haven’t had the chance to be her father. The small interactions that we had were still not enough. I haven’t even crossed the wall she built around her heart yet. I can’t lose her just like this. I spun around when the emergency doors swung open, and Astrid’s Doctor emerged, his expression dimmed. As

    Alpha Theron’s POV“Doctor Smith, as a doctor, how could you allow something like this?” Asha questioned the Doctor angrily. “Wasn’t it taught to you that werewolves have special blood? Even if they have the same blood type, we also need to make sure that both bloods are at the same level, or else the patient will die.”I turned alarmed when I heard Asha’s words. “Are you trying to kill my daughter?!” I roared at the Doctor.Seeing that I had turned angry, the Doctor instantly bowed his head to us in surrender. “Lady Asha, I am fully aware of this matter, but if Alpha Theron is really her father, then that makes him the best fit for a donor.”Asha scoffed. “Best fit? Doctor Smith, have you become stupid?” Asha questioned back, making the Doctor shake his head in fear. After all, Astrid and I are on the opposite side of the spectrum. If a drop of my blood got mixed into her blood, it could already be enough to kill her because of the difference we had in our wolves. “Lady Asha, aside

    Asha’s POVThough my face remained impassive, inside, I simmered in anger. I couldn’t believe that my father would still insist on giving his blood even though Andros and I were willing to go under the needle for him. My father has grown weak with age. He is not the same strong and powerful man that he was before. The stress of handling a huge Pack has taken its toll on his body. I’m angry at my father, who still insists on doing this, knowing how this could affect his health. As an Alpha, he has to keep all his strength to himself. With all the tasks he is in charge of, he desperately needs to be in good health all the time. I moved with practised precision as I prepared the kit that I would be using. My father gave me a steady gaze. He’s been staring at me for a long time without saying anything. His stare unnerves me the most because I’m secretly angry at him. “Dad, are you sure about this?” I asked him one last time as I held the needle in one hand after I had prepared everyth

    Alpha Theron’s POVAs I sat at my desk in my office, facilitating a Pack meeting, my mind kept drifting to Astrid. She still had not woken up, even after I had given my blood in a desperate attempt to save her. I was glad when her body had no adverse effects on my blood. I believe with all my heart that she is my daughter, but the fact that she was born with pure omega blood made me fear that my strong blood could cause adverse effects on her body. It is bad luck that everything happened yesterday, and today happened to be Monday. Meetings are scheduled every Monday morning. Even though my body is still feeling weak because of the amount of blood that I donated, I cannot skip today’s meeting. Astrid had lost a lot of blood, and I was the only donor who could give her all the blood that she needed. They had no choice but to continue drawing my blood three times more than the normal amount of blood that my body can normally give because if not, all my efforts of giving my blood wou

    Alpha Theron’s POVI stared at Alek, who had always been loyal to me. I had no problems with Alek; he is always good at whatever job you give him. Not only that, but I could also trust him with everything, even though we weren’t really that close. That’s right, Alek and I weren’t really close, and it’s because I wasn’t really born as an Alpha. I may have been born with pure Alpha blood, but the Alpha position was my older brother’s by birthright. Alek had that special bond with my older brother and not me. In fact, Alek is years older than me; he is the same age as my brother. They were perfect. They were best friends growing up, and they were destined to help each other and lead the Pack as the Alpha and Beta of the Pack. Meanwhile, I was the black sheep of the family. I was the neglected child. I was that child that no one wanted. Finding no place in our Pack, I grew up outside the Pack, where I also met Drystan and then Astrid’s mother.

    Giselle’s POVAfter Alpha Theron took Astrid away, Killian’s mood changed. He dragged me by the arm and pushed me inside the car without saying anything. He never spoke a word as he drove the car. He remained silent even after I demanded answers. His expression remained cold as he kept his gaze on the road, not paying me any of his attention. Killian has never acted like this, cold and silent. The treatment that he gave me terrified me. For a moment, I thought he was going to take me somewhere to kill me.Instead, he drove us back to the Silvermoon Pack, surprising me. My heart raced when Killian suddenly pulled me out of the car. “Killian, what are you doing?!” I yelled at him as I struggled against his hold. I felt humiliated when I saw the Omegas that served us in the Packhouse were looking at us. Their eyes were glued to Killian’s hand, and they were tightly wrapped around my arm. I glared at the Omegas who were watching us. They instantly turned their heads away like they s

    Nova’s POVThe weight of betrayal still pressed heavily on my chest as I left the council chamber. My hands trembled at my sides, the urge to destroy something coursing through me. Liora’s face haunted my mind—her laughter, her kindness, the way she had brought light to every room she entered. Now, that light was gone, extinguished by Rowena’s greed and fear.I couldn’t even look at Killian. His silence, his complicity, felt like another dagger in the back. Drystan hadn’t spoken since we left. His rage was simmering, barely contained, but I knew it would erupt soon.We had to keep moving. If we stopped now, the weight of our anger and grief would bury us.“Where to now?” I asked quietly as Drystan and I stepped into the night.He didn’t answer at first, his jaw tight, his gaze fixed on the dark forest ahead. Finally, he said, “We need answers. If Rowena’s betrayal is the beginning of this, the Rogue King is the end. And I know someone who might know how to end him.”“The marked m

Nova’s silence was heavy, her jaw tight as she stared at the artifact. Drystan stood to my left, his posture rigid, fists clenched at his sides.Rowena, however, was calm. Too calm. She stood by the window, her back to the room, as though she had nothing to fear.“We can’t ignore the rogue’s message,” Drystan said, his voice sharp, cutting through the heavy air. “They’re coming, and we’re still sitting here debating whether to act.”“We are acting,” Astrid said firmly, her eyes meeting his. “But rushing into this without knowing the full extent of their plan is exactly what they want.”Drystan let out a frustrated growl. “We don’t have the luxury of time, Astrid. Every second we wait, the rogues get closer to taking what they want. And that Amulet…” His voice trailed off, his eyes narrowing at Rowena. “That Amule

    Killian’s POVThe Forsaken Amulet sat in the center of the Silvermoon council table, its ornate carvings shimmering faintly in the dim light. The room was silent, heavy with the weight of what we’d brought back from the ruins.“It doesn’t look like much,” Drystan said, his tone edged with frustration as he leaned back in his chair.“It doesn’t have to,” Nova replied sharply, her gaze fixed on the Amulet. “You felt what it did to us down there. This thing is dangerous, whether it looks like it or not.”I nodded, my eyes narrowing as I stared at the artifact. The power radiating from it was subtle but undeniable, a constant hum that set my wolf on edge.“We can’t keep it here,” Astrid said, breaking the tense silence. “If the rogues find out we have it, they’ll stop at nothing to get it back.”“That’s assuming they don’t already know,” Drystan muttered.The tension in the room was palpable, every word charged with the fear and uncertainty of what lay ahead.The meeting was interrupted

    Astrid’s POVThe ruins of Emberwood loomed around us, silent and foreboding. The rogue ambush had rattled everyone, but we couldn’t turn back now. The message we’d found on the rogue’s body made it clear: the Forsaken Amulet was here, hidden somewhere within these ancient stones.Killian’s voice broke the silence as he gestured to the group. “Spread out. Look for anything out of place—symbols, markings, anything that might lead us to the Amulet.”The warriors nodded, fanning out through the crumbling structures. Nova, Drystan, and I moved together, our eyes scanning the moss-covered walls and broken pillars.“This place is ancient,” Nova murmured, her fingers brushing against a vine-covered carving. “Older than any Pack I know of.”“It’s no coincidence the Amulet is here,” Drystan replied. “The Rogue King must have known about this place for a long time.”I nodded, my wolf uneasy as I felt the weight of the place pressing down on me. There was something here, something powerful and da

    Nova’s POVThe library was silent, save for the occasional crackle of the fire in the hearth.A dozen open books surrounded me, their pages filled with old, faded scripts that blurred together in my tired mind.Liora’s journal lay at the center of it all, her precise handwriting guiding me through fragmented thoughts and cryptic hints.The Rogue King. The Forsaken Amulet. The medallion Rowena had presented at the council meeting. All of it pointed to a larger puzzle, but the pieces didn’t fit—not yet.I ran my fingers over one of the pages, my wolf restless beneath my skin. Liora had always been meticulous, deliberate. If she had left clues, they were here for a reason.“Still no luck?” Drystan’s voice broke the silence.I looked up to find him leaning against the doorway, his arms crossed, his expression soft but concerned.“Not yet,” I admitted. “But there’s something here. I can feel it.”He walked over, pulling a chair beside me. His presence was grounding, his steady confidence a

    Astrid’s POVThe cool night air felt sharp against my skin as I stood on the balcony of the Silvermoon Packhouse, staring out at the dark line of trees marking the western border. The medallion Rowena had left on the council table earlier still weighed heavy in my mind. The intricate symbol, unfamiliar yet menacing, seemed to pulse with a foreboding energy I couldn’t shake.Killian’s voice behind me broke my thoughts. “They’re too close.”I turned to face him. He stood in the doorway, his expression hard, his shoulders tense. It wasn’t like him to let the strain show, but tonight, even he couldn’t hide it.“Scouts?” I asked.He nodded, stepping closer. “A dozen, maybe more. They’ve crossed into the borderlands.”“That’s not a coincidence,” I said. “Not after the rogue’s little performance tonight. They’re testing us.”Killian leaned on the railing, his jaw tight. “They want to see how far they can push before we snap. We need to make a move, and fast, before this turns into something

    Drystan’s POV“No!” Nova gasped, rushing forward, but it was too late. The rogue was gone.I stared down at the lifeless body, my wolf snarling in frustration. He’d been sent here for one reason: to dangle the truth just out of our reach, then snatch it away. My fists clenched tightly at my sides as the words he’d spoken burned into my mind.“The truth will destroy you.”The silence in the courtyard was deafening. Nova stood frozen, her hands trembling as she stared at the rogue’s body.“They’re toying with us,” she said, her voice trembling with anger. “They want us to tear each other apart.”“They won’t win,” I said firmly, my voice cutting through the tension. “We’ll find the truth, no matter what it takes.”Killian stood beside me, his face unreadable but his eyes shadowed with something dark—something I couldn’t quite place.The sharp sound of footsteps broke the stillness. Rowena stepped into the courtyard, her expression carefully neutral, though her eyes gleamed with a calcu

The tension between us was palpable, like a thread stretched too thin, ready to snap. Drystan and Nova sat across from Killian and me, the diary Nova had found lying open on the table between us. Its pages were filled with Liora’s careful handwriting, each word a piece of a puzzle that was growing darker by the minute.“She suspected someone,” Nova said, her voice steady despite the tremor in her hands. “She didn’t name them, but she knew there was a threat within Silvermoon.”Drystan’s jaw tightened, his golden eyes burning with anger. “And that threat cost her everything. It’s time we stop circling around this. Someone in Silvermoon betrayed her, and we need to find out who.”Killian leaned forward, his expression carefully controlled. “We’re already investigating. My warriors are questioning anyone who had close contact with Liora during that time. But it’s not so

    Astrid’s POVThe Packhouse felt heavier than ever as the tension between us grew. Despite our united front, I could see the cracks forming. Drystan and Nova were relentless in their pursuit of the truth about Liora, while Killian and I were walking on a tightrope, desperately trying to keep our secret buried.The message from the rogues still lingered in my mind: “Loyalty is fragile. Truth breaks even the strongest bonds.” They weren’t just taunting us—they were succeeding.Killian had thrown himself into the investigation, questioning warriors and reviewing records, but I could see the toll it was taking on him. He was barely sleeping, barely eating, and the strain of carrying his mother’s secret was written all over his face.As for me, I had my own demons to wrestle with. Every time I looked at Nova, I felt a pang of guilt. She trusted me, confided in me, and here I was, hiding the truth about her sister’s death.
