All Chapters of TANGLED TAILS AND HEARTS : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

“We are here to seek permission to let someone inside the pack,” Easton stated calmly, but the glare in his eyes as he stared at Maverick, Alec, and Stephanie was heated. Alec gracefully returned the look.“And who is that person? It is such a sensitive time; we would have to look through it ourselves. Who knows what your rogues are up to?” Alec replied, and Easton scoffed.“Alright, but get your fucking ass to it. We only have twenty hours left,” Easton snapped at him.“Are you really going to go to Hilt Edge Coven?” Stephanie asked, and Aurora straightened herself to stare at her.“And how is that any of your business?” She replied rudely.“It is dangerous, damn it!” Maverick yelled at her out of the blue, and everyone flinched. Aurora stared around in disbelief. She covered her mouth with one hand, rubbing her lips and scoffing once again.“And burning my land wasn’t lethal to me?” Aurora whispered in astonishment before banging her hand on the table angrily. “YOU DON’T HAVE A SAY

“There was a feud between a witch and a coven. There was a werewolf watching, and the witch was not aware of the feud—or so it appeared,” Crystabelle said haughtily. Everyone stared at her as she continued her bizarre story. Some more people, including members of the Moonlight Pack, had gathered around her as soon as she started making a scene. “The coven was irritated by the witch’s behavior. To them, it was either ignorance or dismissal, and neither appealed to them. The wolf believed it was neither of these things and that the witch simply had too much on her hands. He began to fend off all types of sneak attacks aimed at the witch. Then the coven became even more irritated. The wolf was continuously getting in their way. They wanted to fight him, but they had no convincing evidence to accuse him of interference. So, they planned a major attack—the sneakiest attack that had happened in a century.”

Maverick didn’t get the chance to finish his sentence before a gust of wind cut him off. Without hesitation, he hooked his arms around Aurora and pulled her back, shielding her from the sudden gale.“Hehe,” a laugh came from within the swirling dust. “It’s finally nice to catch you guys in a place where I can get to you.”As the dust settled, Aurora’s eyes widened in surprise. Tessie emerged from the haze, flanked by members of The Seekers.“What the hell are you doing here?” Aurora demanded, her voice sharp with disbelief. Maverick’s brow furrowed as he stared at Tessie, his grip on Aurora firm.“Isn’t it obvious?” Tessie replied with a mocking laugh.“You,” Maverick said, his tone cold. “You’re the one. It’s finally nice to see you.” His hand remained protectively on Aurora’s waist as Tessie smiled, her gaze flicking pointedly to his hand.“I see you two have gotten along quite well now,” Tessie remarked, her smirk widening.“She’s the spy The Seekers planted in the Moonlight Pack,”

“Don’t you think that all the poison you’ve fed her is enough?” a voice echoed through the room. Before Tessie could blink, she found herself shackled by the very chains she had used on others. Her mouth felt like it was filled with ice, sealed shut.Frantically, she looked around for the source of the voice, but saw no one. She wanted to scream, to demand whoever it was to reveal themselves, but she couldn’t.A familiar presence appeared, and Tessie recognized it immediately. She wanted to scoff but found herself unable to.Crystabelle stepped into the room, her eyes landing on Aurora and Maverick. She sighed and shook her head in visible annoyance.“Hey, you! Do you seriously think some shitty wolfsbane can trap the freaking Lycan King?” she asked, scoffing as she moved closer to Aurora. Placing a hand on Aurora’s back, she began casting spells to ease the dark energy surrounding her.“The only reason he wasn’t attacking Tessie when you appeared in this room was because he knew you

Tessie threatened Crystabelle, her voice filled with menace. “My Alpha would hunt you down and kill you for ruining his well-laid plan like this!” she snarled. Crystabelle, unfazed, stared at her briefly before letting out a snicker.“If it was a well-laid plan like you just said,” Crystabelle retorted with a scoff, “someone like me shouldn’t have been able to disrupt it, right?”Tessie shrugged off the last chain from her body with an exaggerated flick of her shoulder. “So you admit that you managed to enter that room,” she said, pointing toward the direction where Maverick and Aurora were. “But it was sheer tough luck. It’s not something middle-belt witches like you should even attempt.”“You’re being too rude right now, Tessie,” Stephanie interjected, but Tessie only scoffed in response. “And shouldn’t you be worried about your cover being blown? There’s no way you’re considering going back to the Moonlight Pack after this.”“You have no right to talk to me, little witch,” Tessie s
