last update Last Updated: 2024-10-10 16:02:51

Killian’s POV

I watched the words sink in, the terror twisting their faces even further.

They exchanged frantic glances, looking for some sort of reassurance from each other, but none came.

The reality of their situation had finally caught up to them, and it was clear they knew I wasn’t bluffing.

One of the nurses broke first, her voice cracking as she shook her head. “Alpha, please! We didn’t do anything wrong! Ryker is truly—”

I snapped my fingers, cutting her off sharply. Ryder, who had been standing silently by the door, stepped forward.

Without hesitation, he grabbed the heated brand from the brazier, bringing it close to the nurse’s face.

The heat radiated off the metal, the glow reflecting in her wide, terrified eyes.

She flinched back, her voice rising into a desperate wail as she realized just how dire her situation had become.

“Please, please! Don’t hurt us!” she sobbed, shrinking away from the brand, the words spilling out of her as she clung to the hope that I might c

    The nurses beside him kept their heads bowed, silent tears streaking their faces, their fear like a palpable force in the room. They offered no words, no excuses, just the raw terror of those who knew their lives hung by a thread.I could barely hold back the fury that threatened to erupt. Every word he spoke only twisted the knife deeper, the realization of how deep the betrayal went, how many lies had been spun around me.

The truth wasn’t complete yet, but I had a new, more dangerous puzzle to unravel.A stranger, a missing child, a woman who had played me for a fool for years.

Ryker’s fourth birthday was meant to be a joyous occasion, and I made sure that every detail was perfect. — from the decorations to the banquet. Behind my polite smiles and gracious words, bitterness roiled like a storm within me, growing darker with every passing moment. Astrid. She lingered around the pack like a shadow that refused to fade, always present, always reminding me of what I had to claw and fight for.

It turned my stomach.She claimed she was here to offer help to the pack, but I wasn’t a fool. I knew there was more to her presence than mere goodwill. In just a few days, she’d already charmed her way into the hearts of so many

    Giselle’s POVA sudden commotion broke through the steady hum of the party, shattering the illusion of celebration. I turned, my heart skipping a beat, and saw one of the pack warriors sprinting toward us, his face pale with urgency. Guests stopped mid-laugh, mid-conversation, their expressions shifting from joy to alarm as he burst into the center of the gathering.“Rogues! There’s been an attack!” he shouted, his voice ringing out across the clearing. “Everyone needs to gather around and stay put until we can secure the area! Pack guards, take your positions!”Instantly, the mood shifted, fear crackling through the air like electricity. Guests began to murmur in panic, looking to the edges of the pack grounds, as if they might see the threat lurking beyond the trees. Parents clutched their children closer, and people crowded together, seeking comfort in proximity. The guards moved quickly, forming a protective line around us, their faces grim with determination.My heart pounde

    Giselle’s POVAs I continued my display, crying into my hands and letting my shoulders shake with every false sob, I felt a small flicker of satisfaction. It was working — the sympathy of the pack was turning toward me. I could hear their murmured reassurances, feel the gentle pats on my back and shoulders as they tried to comfort me. “It’s okay, Luna. We’ll find him. The warriors are searching.”“He’s a strong boy, Luna, just like his father. He’ll be all right.”Their words were fuel, encouraging me to keep playing my part. My tears flowed even harder, my voice breaking as I whispered, “He’s just a child... what if the rogues... what if—” I let my voice trail off, turning my face away as if I couldn’t bear to finish the thought. Then, amidst the chaos of the crowd, I heard another voice rise above the anxious murmurs — a voice that cut through the noise like a knife. It was Vanessa, her tone sharp with rising panic. “Wait — has anyone seen Hazel?”The shift in the air was immed

My breath caught in my throat, and I felt my control slipping away. The shock that Hazel was missing struck me like a physical blow, making my head spin and my vision blur. This wasn't supposed to happen. Not Hazel. Not my daughter.The faces around me blurred as I staggered backward, the weight of the situation pressing down on me like a physical force.

Killian and Damien had finally arrived. Their expressions were grim and alert as they walked through the crowd, scanning the faces of their pack members for signs of distress. Killian stepped forward, his presence commanding immediate attention. He raised a hand to signal for silence, and the murmur

My carefully constructed plan, my painstaking performance of a frantic, grieving mother, began to unravel in that instant.Killian rushed forward, his expression a mixture of relief and confusion as he dropped to one knee, pulling Ryker into his arms. “Thank the goddess,” he breathed, his voice thick with emotion. “Ryker, you’re safe.”I watched, frozen in place, as the crowd’s attention shifted entirely to them. Everything I had worked for, all the careful manipulation, was crumbling before my eyes. Ryker was safe.

She wasn’t just desperate. She was losing control. “Where is Hazel?” she demanded, her voice frantic as she shook Ryker, her eyes wild. “Tell me, Ryker! Where did you get this?” She pointed furiously at the bracelet in his tiny hand.Ryker, trembling, stood frozen in place, his wide eyes locked on Giselle. He didn’t speak—he couldn’t. Ryker had never uttered a word in his life and Giselle is well aware of that. My gut wrenched when I saw the fear in his eyes. I couldn’t let this continue.“Giselle, stop!” I shouted, stepping forward to pull Ryker from her. I yanked him out of her grip, shielding him behind me as he clung to my shirt, shaking.

    Astrid’s POVThe air crackled with tension as the rogue king’s gaze shifted toward us, his dark eyes gleaming with an unspoken challenge. Killian’s golden eyes burned with fury, his body coiled like a predator ready to strike. But the rogue king, Ardan, stood unfazed, a shadow of calm amidst the chaos.“You’re relentless, Killian,” Ardan said smoothly, his voice carrying across the clearing like a chilling wind. “But your efforts are misplaced. You cling to a broken system—a hierarchy built on oppression and blood.”Killian took a measured step forward, his claws flexing. “And you think murdering innocents and sowing chaos is the answer? You’re delusional.”Ardan tilted his head, a faint smile tugging at his lips. “Delusional? Or visionary? The Packs need reformation, Killian. The hierarchy you protect only serves the Alphas and Betas—those at the top. The rest? They suffer. They’re discarded like trash.”I clenched my fists, stepping forward to stand beside Killian. “And you think y

"It's a trap."Killian's hand tightened around mine briefly before he let go, signaling silently to the warriors around us. His golden eyes locked onto mine, and without speaking, I understood. Be ready.The rogues emerged from the shadows like wraiths, their movements swift and predatory. My heart pounded as Killian raised a hand, signaling our group to spread out and form a defensive line. The moonlight gleamed off their weapons, but it was their eyes-feral, unrelenting-that sent a shiver down my spine.The rogue king's voice broke through the stillness, cold and calculated. "You've been followed, Cedric."Cedric spun around, his eyes wide in shock and fear as his gaze darted toward the trees. With the rogue king’s army surrounding us, and with his calm demeanor. It was obvious that he had seen us from afar. He was prepared to stop us.Only Cedric had

Every time I closed my eyes, I could still see Alpha Cedric’s smug expression from the last meeting, his words twisting the air with doubt and discontent.Killian and I walked side by side through the dimly lit hall, his golden eyes sharp and focused. Neither of us spoke as we headed toward the war room, our minds occupied by the same burning question: could Cedric truly be working with the rogue king?The war room door creaked open, revealing Ryder standing at the center of the table, maps and documents scattered before him. He looked up as we entered, his expression grim but composed.“Alpha. Luna,” Ryder greeted, bowing slightly.“What did you find?” Killian asked, his voice steady but clipped.Ryder straightened, his gaze meeting Killian’s. “We’ve been discreetly monitoring Alpha Cedric’s movements as you requested. There’s nothing concrete yet, but… there’s something off.”I frowned,

    Astrid’s POVThe private chamber was dimly lit, the flicker of candlelight casting shifting shadows on the stone walls. The air was thick with anticipation as Killian and I stepped into the room. Alpha Damien and Luna Valerie stood by the hearth, their faces somber. Damien’s normally relaxed posture was stiff, and Valerie’s fingers were laced tightly together, betraying her tension.“Damien, Valerie,” Killian began, his voice firm. “We were told you’ve uncovered something about the rogue king. What is it?”Damien exchanged a glance with Valerie before stepping forward, his gaze steady. “Valerie and I had been conducting an investigation—secretly,” he admitted. “Ever since the first rogue attacks began to increase, we’ve been suspicious.”Valerie nodded, her tone soft but urgent. “The rogue king’s moves weren’t random. They were calculated, methodical. He wasn’t just targeting packs for power or resources; he was targeting the foundation of our system—the hierarchy, the unity that bi

    Astrid’s POVKillian halted mid-step, his shoulders stiffening as he turned to face me. His brow knitted together, the golden hue of his eyes darkening with unease. “What do you mean?” he asked, his voice low, guarded.I hesitated for just a heartbeat before the words poured out, tumbling over each other in a rush. “Alpha Cedric,” I said, my voice tight with urgency. “At the council meeting—he stood up, questioning us, doubting our leadership, our decisions.”Killian’s brows pinched together as he processed my words. “What if… what if it wasn’t just him being confrontational? What if it was intentional? Designed to sow distrust, to divide us?” I asked him Killian’s gaze sharpened, his eyes narrowing as he digested my words. A flicker of understanding crossed his face, followed by something colder, harder. Slowly, he nodded. “I’ve been thinking the same thing,” he admitted, his tone heavy with thought. “When Andros suggested there could be a traitor, Cedric was the first person w

I felt my chest tighten, the implications settling like a stone in my stomach. “What do you mean?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Andros’s gaze dropped again, his shoulders slumping as if the weight of his confession was too much to bear. “If you suspect that someone’s feeding the rogue king information, it wasn’t me. It must be someone close to you,” he answered. “Since they know so much about the Pack, it could be someone in your ranks. Tell me, is there anyone acting weird recently? Anyone you think that is hiding something.”“That’s impossible,” I instantly blurted out. “All of us wanted the rogue king gone. All of us were helping each other to overcome this crisis. Why would someone betray us and work with the rogue king?”“I’m not the one leaking information to the rogue king,” Andros spoke sternly. “Who do you think it is?” The question that escaped Killian’s mouth made me look at him. “Killian, what are y

    Astrid's POVThe air in the dungeon was damp and heavy, clinging to my skin like a second layer. The faint flicker of the bright light painted uneasy shadows on the stone walls, casting long, distorted shapes that felt as restless as the questions swirling in my mind. Killian and I stopped outside Andros’s cell, and for a moment, neither of us spoke.Andros sat against the wall, his posture slouched, his gaze fixed somewhere distant, as though we weren’t there. His face was pale, worn, and etched with the weight of regret he had carried silently since Rowena’s death.“Andros,” I said, my voice softer than I intended. It was impossible to ignore how different he looked now, like a man who had already resigned himself to whatever fate we would decide.His dark eyes flicked toward me briefly before dropping back to the ground. “What now?” he asked, his voice hollow, lacking the defiance I used to know.Killian stepped forward, his tone firmer than mine. “We need answers,” he said. “T

    Astrid's POVThe warrior’s words hung in the air like a heavy shroud, suffocating and cold. I stared at him, trying to make sense of what I’d just heard.“The fragments… are missing?” I repeated, my voice barely above a whisper. My heart pounded, each beat echoing louder in my ears as confusion and disbelief clawed at my thoughts.The Forsaken Amulet was destroyed. Rowena sacrificed her life to ensure it could never be used again. Why would the rogues come back for it? What could they possibly want with shattered remnants?Killian stood beside me, rigid as stone, his golden eyes locked on the warrior. “Are you sure?” he asked, his voice low, taut with restrained fury.“Yes, Alpha,” the warrior said, bowing his head. “We inspected the area as you instructed, to see if the rogues left anything behind—clues, weapons, anything. But instead, we found the fragments… gone.”Gone. The word echoed in my mind, a drumbeat of confusion. I tried to piece together the rogue king’s motives, but not

    Astrid’s POVThe tension in the room was suffocating. The large council chamber, usually filled with calm deliberation, was now a battlefield of words. Alphas and Lunas from across the packs are all gathered around in one room, their gazes heavy with doubt and mistrust. Killian and I decided to call this meeting to inform everyone about the recent events and to formulate another plan for the future. “We heard that Andros is back, that he came back to the Pack with you, was that true?” One of the Alphas asked. I nodded my head. “That’s true. Although he is banned to enter any Packs, I made my decision out of careful consideration. While we are unsure of where his alliances lies, it would be safe if he is here with us where we could monitor him.”“Andros cannot be trusted,” Alpha Raiden of the Thunderclaw Pack said, his voice cold and unyielding. “He betrayed us once—no, twice. Do you expect us to believe he won’t do it again?”Several heads nodded in agreement, murmurs spreading li
