Se connecterChapter 94 Arthur’s POV“Don’t let him out of your sight.” I groan, commanding Oliver. “Yes, Alpha.” He answered me. Why does it have to be like this? I had just made peace with my loss and grief. Can’t I be merry for peace of mind for more than a second? For fuck sake. I look at Justin’s grave one last time before turning my heels and head back to the pack. That man, that monster isn't supposed to be in my territory. How does he even remember the way back? I remembered very well that I took away his werewolf and alpha powers, made him forget that he was ever a werewolf and an alpha, and sent him away. “What brings him home now?” I ask myself, without getting an answer. My thoughts go back to when I defeated my father. “You fucking fool.” He shouts as he’s on his knees, shamelessly. “I’ve waited for this day for a long time.” “You must be stupid and out of your mind to think that I’ll let you take what I’ve worked so hard for.” I let my hand land very hard in his face, t
Chapter 93 Arthur’s POVI didn’t know how hard it is to be a leader, till I woke up this morning feeling the emptiness of Tori. It’s been over two months now and the pack is beginning to settle into its uneasy version of peace. I find myself sitting in the pack’s hall, with two patrol warriors waiting for me to decide on their dispute. “I did nothing but my own part of the patrol.” “You were intruding into my space.” They exchange words with each other and I just look at them. This is no longer a wartime matter, where orders can be sharp and final. This is the quieter work of holding people together when there is no common enemy left to unite them.They keep throwing insults and arguing between themselves. “Enough,” I say in a calm yet commanding voice. This dispute isn't serious at all, but the tension in the room makes it feel larger than it is. “You both overstepped,” I say to them, sounding even. “You will run the next three north rotations together. If I hear of anothe
Chapter 92Arthur’s POVEverything feels so different and confusing. Tori’s absence is having a heavy negative impact on everyone, even the pack. I find myself getting lost in my thoughts every two seconds. For months now, my sleep has been interrupted by urgent reports, patrols to assign, and other issues here and there. Of course, there’s Oliver to have things put in place, I still have to be there to ensure that everything is going very well. Everything in the pack is moving slower than usual. The corridors no longer carry the same sharp tension as before, the training grounds sound different without the edge of preparation in every drill. It should be a relief, but it gives me a restless and uncomfortable sensation. Sitting at the head of the long table, alone in the war room, with a cup of full coffee sitting in my hands, doesn’t seem to help ease my racing heart. “You’re up early,” Kylian says, as he enters the war room without knocking. “Didn’t sleep much.” I glance a
Chapter 91 Arthur’s POVLuke is right in front of me, with nowhere to escape to. I have punched and hit him in every way that can bring satisfaction to my aching heart. For a moment I stand over him, the noise of the ruined safe house fading into the background. Luke is bloodied and on his knees, the last of his men are already down, the last of his structure finally broken. All this time, Luke has been the one who has been authorizing the experiments. “Dr Reyes is just the face of the organization. The master mind of everything is Luke.” Sebastian had explained everything to us back at home, in the war room. Luke is the one who sent Justin into my life. He’s the one whose war has taken Tori away from him. Every path of the last months has led to this exact place.It gives me more reason to hate him and want to kill him the more. Jayden keeps his weapon raised, eyes moving between the exits. “All clear on the left corridor. No one’s coming.” He notifies me. Oliver’s voice co
Chapter 90 Luke’s POVSitting alone in the dim lower chamber of the safe lower, feeling lonely, sad, depressed, and devastated. “I killed Justin.” Justin's murderer’s words keep ringing in my head. Even the half-empty glass of liquor that’s untouched on the table can’t ease the growing grief in my heart. Justin is truly gone. It’s not rumors or partial accounts, it’s the truth. She’s dead and that siren bitch killed her. How heartless can she be? Justin gave up all the information she had been ordered to protect, the organization, the base, our family, me. “Justin is gone.” The words creep out of my mouth in a whisper. My hands are trembling and I hold them together to force them to stay still. In the cold quiet of the room, grief comes for me in ugly, choking waves. He has built an entire system on control and distance, on treating every asset as expendable when necessary, but Justin has never been only an asset, she’s my blood. The one thing in my carefully constructed worl
Chapter 89 Arthur’s POVI dismissed the meeting upon hearing that Sebastian had been found. “Bring him to the house immediately,” I ordered Oliver. “Yes, Alpha.” He obeys and goes to get him. Sebastian is the one person that we have been waiting for to go against Luke. Luke hasn’t been found, neither has he been seen in any place or anywhere. But he shouldn’t worry. He can’t hide for too long. I will come for him, and this time, he will not see me coming. This will be the last time he will escape from my hands. He will be dead before he even attempts to flee. For the vampire we captured a long time ago, we have given them the cure that we made. They are responding to it, but according to Oliver and Doc, they need to hear the command of their creator before they can fully recover. That’s why we haven’t been able to take them for the fights we’ve been going for. “We have Sebastian now. We will go for Luke as soon as we can.” I tell Jayden. He agrees with me. I texted Ainsle
