Chapter 50Sharon’s POVAs Killian handed the paper over to Alpha Mendez, a chill swept through my body . My breath hitched , and my knees felt like they could give way. Something about the Alpha’s reaction sent alarm bells ringing in my head..“What??” Alpha Mendez muttered , stunned.All eyes turned to him. Even Luna Zahra immediately rose from her seat , rushing to his side. She glanced at the paper and then at me.Her mouth fell open , and the look she gave me.. it was pure malice. Like a predator finally cornering its prey.What had I done to deserve this level of hatred?? Had I not already endured enough? What more did they want from me? To bleed? To break??Alpha Mendez cleared his throat , his voice slicing through the thick silence. "Have you met with someone called Ryker previously?? If so , speak now or remain silent forever.."“My lord.. I..I don’t know,” I stammered, confused and shaken. “I’ve never met anyone by that name before. I mean , not that I can remember. Somethi
Chapter 49Sharon's POV"Why isn't Jake back yet??" I wondered aloud , alone in the house.He said he needed to speak with Alpha Mendez , but it was taking longer than expected."What on earth could be the problem??" I muttered , pacing anxiously like my life depended on it..Suddenly , I heard the faint sound of the door creaking open.. My heart skipped a beat. Without hesitation , I rushed to the living room , my steps light and quick.As I entered , my eyes darted across the room until they landed on him."Jake!" I cried , running into his arms.He pulled me close , embracing me tightly. We stayed like that for a long , quiet moment. Then , he kissed my forehead and led me gently to the couch."How have you been since the trip??" he asked softly."I’ve been holding out. It wasn’t easy , but I’m gaining my strength back ," I said , holding onto his hands.His expression shifted. A shadow crossed his face."Is everything okay??" I asked, peering into his eyes. He was hiding something
Chapter 48Jake's POV"Jake!" he shouted.. "Why is your name on this list?""What do you mean , why is my name on the list?" I asked , blinking rapidly."I should be asking you that question ," Alpha Mendez said sharply.."So you planned and schemed all of this for what?" Luna Zahra hissed.."Seriously , I have nothing to do with the Blood Moon Pack ," I said , utterly confused. "Please where did you get this list from?" I turned to face Luna Zahra."Are you questioning me?" she asked , voice rising."I’m not ," I said quickly. "I'm just trying to understand the validity of this list. How do we even know it's real?""Oh , so you're saying I brought a fake list? Alpha , do you hear what your so called son is accusing me of??" Luna Zahra said , looking insulted."I'm not insinuating that ," I replied, turning to Alpha Mendez. "It just came out of nowhere , and I know I’m not involved in any of this..""Enough ," Alpha Mendez said , cutting through the tension. "Before we point fingers ,
Chapter 47Killian’s POVShadows danced on the walls of my room, dimly lit and silent. I sat at the edge of the bed, staring at the floor, my mind running through everything that had happened today.The truth had come dangerously close to the surface , but no one in that room truly knew what had taken place.The door creaked open , and Mirabel slipped inside silent , smooth.“You shouldn’t be here ,” I muttered , eyes still locked on the floor.“Why not??” she said coolly. “You disappeared without a word , Killian.”“You weren’t honest from the beginning. What did you expect me to do??” I finally looked up at her. “You had a deal with Ryker , didn’t you?”“It wasn’t like that ,” she said defensively. “He threatened me. Said if I didn’t help him , he’d expose something I’d done.”I folded my arms. “And what exactly did you do , Mirabel?”“I tried to plant doubts between Sharon and Jake ,” she admitted. “I wasn’t sure if it worked. Clearly , it didn’t.”“And Ryker used that against you.
Chapter 46Sharon’s POVNo sooner had we returned to the Moontown Pack than murmurs exploded like a fuse . Then came the clapping gradual at first , then rippling louder with each passing second.. Faces swarmed in , eyes wide , voices overlapping in shocked relief and quiet suspicion..“Jake! Sharon! Killian !” Voices called from every corner , unsure whether to cheer or question.Jake merely nodded , with his face calm , unreadable , but the grip on my hand tightened. That subtle pressure spoke volumes I’ve got you.“We go straight to the Alpha’s chambers ,” he said under his breath , meant for my ears alone.I nodded silently , resisting the urge to look back at the faces that haunted me faces that had once whispered behind my back , now watching again.. Judging again..The Alpha’s chamber loomed ahead silent , vast , and heavy with the legacy of Moontown Pack. Its thick wooden doors opened into a room lined with ancient markings , relics of battles won and alliances forged. It car
Chapter 45Sharon’s POVJake launched himself at Ryker with a thunderous growl , the impact of their colossal bodies colliding making the earth beneath us tremble..I stumbled back , breath caught in my throat , eyes wide as the brutal fight unfolded before me..Killian leaned casually against a tree nearby, smirking . “Impressive , isn’t it? Our little Alpha’s son finally off his leash .”“Killian , stop it ,” I snapped. “This isn’t a game!”.He shrugged with maddening calmness. “Relax , Sharon. Jake’s too stubborn to lose. Let the beast stretch his claws..”I tuned him out , heart in my mouth as I watched Jake move. He was precise dodging , ducking , countering. But Ryker was massive, relentless. Every blow he landed echoed like thunder..“Jake!!” I cried as Ryker’s claws grazed dangerously close to his ribs.Jake growled and lunged again , this time sinking his teeth deep into Ryker’s shoulder . Ryker howled in pain and flung him off with a brutal twist of his massive body..“Shoul
