Nate answered, "Everyone in this city is aware that Enzo is your beta."Caiden remarked, "Well, no matter what everyone knows, I'm beginning to have doubts about him. Bruno won't mind if you come to work for me, either."With gleaming eyes, Nate turned to face Caiden, still not quite believing that this was happening.He said, "You have no idea who I am, Alpha," and Caiden narrowed his eyes at him. "Why me?"Nate shrank back as Caiden grasped his shoulder, saying, "You seem like someone I can trust, you also seem like a respectful person. You wouldn't dare betray me, would you?With a smile, the man appeared to consider Caiden's words carefully.In the end, he remarked, "Tell me, Nate: are you willing to work with me on a challenging and dangerous mission?"He answered without hesitation, "I accept, Alpha. Where do we begin?."Caiden smiled and said, "Good. We'll begin with a short and private induction ceremony."******A long-kept mystery that was unknown to werewolves and humans al
Louis's behavior caused shivers down my spine for some reason. But if I was going to find my kids, I was going to have to put my trust in him.I thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Alpha. I'm not going to stay long."Alpha Stourin simply glanced at me before quietly withdrawing. Everywhere I went, I felt like I was drawing problems like a magnet. My entire life has been one of being unwanted by everyone. I left where I was, and Louis quickly followed."You were aware that he wouldn't welcome me here," I remarked, looking annoyed. "And why the hell did you tell him you would go with me?"He met my gaze and saw the expression on my face, saying, "I know you feel like you're alone in this, Kamara, but you're not. You'll need to have faith in me as I help you in finding your kids."****Making sure no one would overhear them, Caiden and Nate chatted in the car as they left the police station together. He was aware that the choice he was going to make would cause his marriage to Jessie and hi
Enzo was stunned. It felt as though a nuclear bomb had just landed in front of him and was about to detonate. It took long for him to actually take it in and process it. Caiden had to be kidding.He angrily remarked, "You can't fucking do this. Caiden, our friendship dates back to our early years. My dad used to work for your dad, and I currently work for you. I can make amends and we can start afresh."He turned his back on his best friend and stated icily, "Yes I can do it and I have done it. Nate will be ruling the pack alongside me as the beta from now on. You no longer work with me."Enzo looked at the clerk, who was unable to look him in the eyes, and lowered his head. Enzo was aware that Caiden's choice was the biggest source of embarrassment for him.He wouldn't give up lightly, though."Are you putting an office clerk in my place now?" It was clear from his expression that he was offended. "You're replacing me with a fucking stranger?""I will no longer debate over this, Enzo
"Jessie, what you're asking me to do is ridiculous," he said angrily. "How could you suggest that?""Enzo my reputation and position are on the line. Do you know what the pack will say or do upon learning that someone else took your place?""I don't give a fuck about all that," he declared, detonating everything in his path like an atomic bomb. "When will you care more about how I'm feeling and less about what other people think?"She recoiled and even made an attempt to go close to her brother before giving up. It was obvious that someone had to be reasonable there, and Enzo was no longer acting rationally.Enzo finally came to a conclusion. Jessie tried to stop him by running toward him as he moved back toward the exit."Where are you going, Enzo?" He was forced to look into her eyes as she stopped him by pulling his arm.He bared his fangs and said, "I'm going to find Kamara. And I'll complete the task I began seven years ago once I get her. I swear she's going to pay for everythin
One of the men got out of the van and moved to the back. This time, before removing the kids from the van, he blindfolded them with four pieces of fabric. Sterling could smell the area as soon as he stepped inside. Trees rustling in the wind. He knew they were still in the forest, but it was now colder and moist than it had been before. There were no nearby waterways, and the bird songs were different here.The blindfolds came off as they were tossed to the ground and heard the lock being locked. There was no mattress for them to lie on, and the room was twice as small as the last one. The smell was awful, and there was a dead rat in the corner of the wall that was starting to decompose.Lucas approached Sterling and touched his lips, looking at him in amazement."Is something wrong?" With a start, Sterling inquired, observing that Noah and Kyler were wearing identical looks of amazement."The wound is healed," he uttered in a shaky voice. "It vanished as though it had never been."Whe
Louis, who was amused by my conclusion, chose to remain silent. Louis realized that by taking this route, we would not be able to arrive at our destination for more than two days as we strolled through the forest's northern flank, avoiding every area we could possibly invade. It was nearly daybreak when we spotted the cottage.With optimistic eyes, I surveyed the area.I wished my kids were still there. As I hurried to the spot, I discovered the door ripped off and darkness had descended upon the area, contrary to my hope that I would find them as soon as I passed through the door. On top of that, when I yelled my boys' names, all that could be heard was the echo of my voice. There were just a few rooms in the tiny cottage, but when I walked into the fourth one, my heart stopped. Hundreds of other smells filled the room, yet I could still smell my kids. A piece of cloth rested on the tattered old mattress. As I hurried over, I realized it was a piece of Lucas's cloth. I sobbed whil
He explained, "Jessie doesn't seem to understand the situation and thinks I'm cheating on her with Kamara. Even though Jessie is the Luna, I can't leave the pack with her; it would be too dangerous. She's been on edge lately."Lisa cleaned her hands on the apron and sighed while shaking her head."Are you okay with me leading the pack while you're away?" Lisa enquired, anticipating the response."Of course mother. You are the only one I can trust. Who would you rather have me go to?" he declared.Lisa once more turned her back on him. Her heart weighed down with pain. Lisa had fled from her pack and sought solace here since Nolan's death because she could no longer endure the anguish in her heart. Though it had hardly registered in her memory that seven long years had gone by, she had no idea if she was ready for this moment."It's possible that this choice will cause more friction with Jessie," Lisa warned. "She should be leading the pack while you're away; she's the Luna."He was ad
Jessie was experiencing an overwhelming surge of feelings that she was unable to articulate. Jessie didn't know how much longer she could, take carrying that about in her chest, which had been building up for a while. She understood that resisting Caiden's decision would be a waste of time, so she remained quiet in the light of his choice.She made the inconceivable declaration, "I'm coming with you, Caiden, to find the kids."He gave her a cold look and said, "I don't recall asking for your help, and Nate will be coming with me, anyway."With despair consuming her heart, she murmured, "Caiden, you cannot treat me in this way. I can't be left out of your life in this manner."His voice became calmer, "I'm not leaving you out of anything. I'm only trying to keep you safe."She cried, "Then stop searching for those bastards," with tears rolling down her cheeks. "Allow Kamara to search for her kids alone."Caiden glared at her. "Don't you dare call my kids bastard, Jessie. They're not ju
