Jessica woke up with a start, her heart pounding in her chest. She had overslept and she knew she had to be at the palace early. She quickly got out of bed and hurriedly changed into her work clothes, hoping that no one would notice her late arrival. She grabbed her cleaning supplies and made her way to the palace gates, hoping that the guards wouldn't question her."Good morning," she greeted the guards with a smile."Morning," one of the guards replied, his eyes scanning her up and down. "Where have you been?""I went for an early morning jog," Jessica lied smoothly, hoping that her nervousness didn't give her away.The guard looked at her suspiciously for a moment, but then nodded and let her through the gates.Jessica breathed a sigh of relief as she made her way towards the palace. She knew that she had to be careful, that any slip-up could get her caught. She had been Selena's spy for months now, reporting back to the evil witch about everything that was happening at the palace.
Alpha Caleb had been working tirelessly for months on end, dealing with the day-to-day responsibilities of running his pack and ensuring that everything was in order.

As the clock struck midnight, Alpha Caleb stood before his pack, the moonlight casting a pale glow over his powerful form.

But he knew that he had more to say, that there were difficult truths that needed to be faced."I must be honest with you," he continued, his voice growing serious. "There are traitors in our midst, those who seek to undermine our kingdom and make our lives miserable. You all know of Selena and Kevin, the rogue alpha and witch who have fled from our justice. But what you may not know is that
Chapter 17 The air was thick with tension as Selena and Kevin made their way through the borders of alpha Caleb's kingdom, with the help of their insider, Jessica.

Alpha Caleb, Marcus, and Logan sat huddled in Caleb’s chambers, discussing the rescue mission for his Luna, Rory. The atmosphere was tense, and the stakes were high. They knew that Selena was not one to be underestimated and that the rescue mission would be a difficult one.“We need to locate Selena’s lair before we can even think about a rescue mission,” Caleb said, his brow furrowed in concentration. “But how do we find her?”Lady Victoria, a powerful witch and Caleb’s ally, stepped forward. “I have some location tracking charms that could help us,” she said. “But they will only work if Selena and Rory are within a certain proximity.”Caleb nodded. “That’s a start. Marcus and Logan, I want you to lead a reconnaissance mission to Selena’s last known location. See if you can pick up any leads.”The two werewolf knights nodded and left the room, ready to carry out their task.Once they had left, Caleb turned to Lady Victoria. “What’s the plan once we locate Selena’s lair?”“We need t

Rory shifted in bed and let out a sigh as she opened her eyes to the darkness of the room. She couldn't quite explain the restlessness she felt within her, but something was keeping her from going back to sleep. Turning to her side, she saw Caleb sleeping peacefully beside her. He looked so peaceful and content, and she couldn't help but smile.However, her mind began to wander, and she found herself lost in thought. She started to think about her childhood, her parents, and everything that had brought her to this moment. She let out another deep sigh, and Caleb stirred in his sleep."Hey, you okay?" he murmured groggily, his voice deep and rough from sleep.Rory turned to face him and smiled weakly. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just can't sleep."Caleb propped himself up on his elbow, looking at her with concern. "Is there something on your mind?"She hesitated for a moment, then decided to open up. "I was just thinking about my childhood. My parents, my upbringing, everything."Caleb nodded u
After their successful trip to Nigeria, Caleb and Marcus were back at the palace, sitting with the high knights at the table during lunch. The knights were eager to hear about their experiences in Nigeria."It was amazing," Caleb said with a smile. "The people were so hospitable and friendly. And their work ethic is second to none. They truly are the Japan of Africa."Marcus nodded in agreement. "I was especially impressed with the Igbo language slangs they use. It's so unique and interesting. They have a rich culture that they're proud of."The knights were intrigued by their stories and eagerly listened to every detail. Some of them had never even heard of Nigeria before, let alone the Igbo people."It sounds like we have a lot to learn from them," one of the knights said. "Their work ethic and intelligence are qualities that we could benefit from.""I agree," Caleb said. "I think we should start looking for ways to partner with the Igbo people. They could be valuable allies."The k
