Chapter 18 Khalid’s POV I stepped into the dimly lit dungeon, with the look of determination. My footsteps echoed against the cold stone walls. I had been informed of the spy's presence, and I knew about the need to extract crucial information from him. As I approached the cell, where the spy was being held, I could hear the distant echoes of pain and suffering. I simply sighed and shook my head, still walking towards the cell. The air was heavy with the scent of dampness and despair. I wanted to extract information from the spy for the betterment of the members of my pack, since our safety hasn’t been sure for a long time now. I was prepared to do anything, anything possible to fulfill my duty. The spy, shackled and bruised, looked up at me the moment I entered. His eyes held a mixture of defiance and fear, but he remained silent and tried to wear a cold expression. I knew instantly that breaking this man's resolve would not be an easy task, but the urgency of the situatio
CHAPTER 19Megan’s POV.After Khalid stormed out of the room, frustration etched on his face, I took a deep breath and decided to explore the pack on my own. The tension in the air was palpable, and I needed a moment to clear my head. As I wandered through the dimly lit corridors, my mind raced with thoughts of the spy and also what has been happening to me. Lost in my contemplation, my eyes caught sight of a figure that looked vaguely familiar. In a moment of recognition, I suddenly remembered that it was one of my father's trusted men. He was among the pack members, and I froze in a spot. My heart skipped a beat, and a mix of surprise and curiosity washed over me. What was he doing here? Was he on a secret mission?Did my father have a hand in this delicate situation that has been going on in my life lately? Different questions swirled in my mind as I felt the urgent need to confront him, but decided against it quickly. I decided to wait and watch…watch him intently. I was
Chapter 20Khalid’s POV The revelation hit me with the force of a thunderbolt. A spy, In my pack!The bitter taste of betrayal seared my tongue, and I clenched my fists hard enough to turn my knuckles white. I thought about it, and my eyes widened. For a spy to enter my pack, it obviously means they were more than one…It managed to send a real surge of fury through me at the realization that it wasn't just one.And then a chilling revelation hits me – it's not just one.

Chapter 21Alexis POV. I felt an overwhelming wave of anxiety as I observed Khalid's anger, a level of anger I have never witnessed in him before. My heart raced, and my mind raced along with it, desperately searching for a way to calm him down. “Your highness, please...”But it seemed like, no matter what I said or did, it seemed futile. But seeing him that way, plus the cold look on his face, managed to instill a bit of fear in me. I wanted to teach Megan a lesson, so she would know that Khalid is mine and back off. So as I walked slowly towards him, I prayed that I would be successful in calming him down, and because she was there…I hoped it went smoothly. “My lord,” I said slowly, and he swiftly turned to glare at me. Megan also stared at me with a raised eyebrow….“That was what I wanted,” I smiled to myself and spanked my head lightly, when I noticed that I made the smile too obvious. His gaze tore deeply into my skin, and I almost scampered away if not for the sudden
Chapter 22Aaron’s POV. As I received the news, my eyes narrowed and my jaw clenched as I stared at the person who had delivered the news to me. “Khalid had noticed the presence of too many spies infiltrating their pack.” The news went thus, and I clenched my fists angrily. This revelation ignited a fire within me, intensifying my desire to invade the pack swiftly and reclaim it. “How was that possible?” I asked angrily staring at the messenger who had delivered the message to me. He shook him fright as he shook his head, trying to indicate that he didn’t know anything about it. “Something is wrong here!” I said through gritted teeth. “How did you get the news?” I asked with a creased brows. “It was one of the spy who had tried to escape...he was the one who sent message here, warning us about Khalid’s new resolution and the fact that he has locked the pack’s gate to stop anyone from going in or out,” He said and my eyes widened in shock. “Oh wow,” I simply muttered. I didn’t
Aaron's povThe moment seemed joyous to me. My face was still housing a smile while my fingertips were given slow taps on the table before me.No matter how the case might be, taking a reckless move wouldn't be an option. I might be smiling currently, but my head was running miles, thinking of different speculations to fit in my strategy.Then my eyes flew to the front, meeting the man before me, and my expression turned serious.“What other information do you have? I can't help but smell you have some” I question with piercing eyes that could see one's soul. It wasn't as though I didn't trust him, but I wanted every value piece placed on the table for me to review.He gulped down hard. My gaze seemed heated on him, but I didn't soften it. I always have this suffocating aura on me, and just now I coated myself in it.

Khalid's POVHurrying to the scene with Megan I looked around the pack but couldn’t find any more spies. The entire place was empty. I felt a jolt of anger run through my veins suddenly. We had been this close to apprehending those assholes. But they escaped.The fuckin security guards!We pay them whooping sums just to do their jobs right, yet, spies are able to gain access into the pack on their watch, and as if that wasn't crime enough, the fools let them escape.I felt my blood boil, and the intensity of my anger multiplied. If they expect me to let this matter be swept under the carpet then they are wrong, cause I won't be taking this lightly at all.Furiously, I marched to the building where the guards occupied. A nicely furnished three bedroom apartment, it barely even looked like it was a security post.

Megan's POVKhalid and I hurried to the scene, and I noticed him desperately searching the area, his eyes fuming with anger at a ferocity I have never seen before. The area was clear which was a surprise. We had seen the men run in this direction, that, I am certain of, but the area was clear, there was no one here, I could feel that, and I know Khalid could feel it too.They weren't here which means that they had managed to escape somehow.Khalid must be disappointed, and angry, his eyes emitted those two emotions. I feel the aura around him turn to one of rage and he starts marching out of the woods, through the entrance and out to the apartment where the security guards occupy.I hurry after him, hoping that he doesn't go furious and do something he'd regret.On reaching the post, the guards bowed in greeting him, but he ignored their greetings and went into scolding them.

Megan was welcomed with open arms, and it was clear that her return had brought a renewed sense of hope to our pack. Amid the celebrations, I noticed some of my closest allies looking anxious. It was clear that they had something important to share with me. I pulled them aside, Megan by my side, and asked, “What has happened while I was away? Why do you all seem so concerned?” One of my trusted warriors, Marcus, stepped forward. “Khalid,” he began, his voice grave, “while you were searching for Megan, Aaron has made a significant move.

Khalid POV The land of the dead had taken Megan from me, and the ache of her absence felt like a wound that would never heal. The spirits of the elders, whose guidance had sustained me, now seemed distant and insubstantial in the face of this profound loss. But as I stood there, a spark of determination flickered within me. The forest may have claimed Megan for now, but I could not let it have the final say. I had come too far, faced too much, to simply accept defeat.

Yet, with each breath, I sought to gain control, to understand the source of my rage. Images and memories flickered in my mind, moments of pain, betrayal, and frustration.

A part of me will be happy that she is still alive but another part of me is worried about the effect it will have
