Chapter 78Jake's POV“Take them down!!” Jake roared as he began to shift into his deadly wolf form..The rogues lunged at him ‚ their teeth snapping and claws raking through the air. Jake leaped forward‚ slamming one of them to the ground with a sickening crack.“Hold the line!” Marcus shouted ‚ his voice cutting through the chaos.Killian laughed over the noise ‚ his voice ringing with cruel delight. “All of this is pointless‚ brother. Just surrender now‚ and maybe I’ll show you some mercy.”Jake growled angrily ‚ dodging another attacker. “You’ve completely lost your mind!”“Have I really??” Killian smirked. “Or am I the only one strong enough to claim what’s rightfully ours?”“You call this strength?” Jake spat‚ ramming into another rogue.. “You’re nothing but a traitor.”Killian’s grin twisted wildly. “You’ll see soon enough. This is just the beginning.”Before Jake could respond ‚ three rogues blindsided him. He spun around ‚ claws slashing through one while another latched onto
Chapter 77Sharon’s POVMarcus set the glowing green vial on Jake’s desk. Its eerie light danced across Jake’s clenched jaw..“Explain‚” Jake asked lowly ‚ with his voice laced with so much authority.Marcus hesitated. “We’re not entirely sure‚ but the scent of wolfsbane mixed with something.. unnatural clings to it.”."Unnatural?" Sharon echoed‚ her voice trembling. "What could Mirabel possibly want with that? And Killian? Is he in on this??"Marcus shook his head. "It doesn't seem like Killian knows. The scent only leads back to Mirabel's quarters.."Jake turned to Sharon‚ his eyes razor sharp. "We need answers now."She nodded‚ a hard swallow moving down her throat. "What's the plan?"Jake said nothing at first. He picked up the vial‚ peered at it with narrowed eyes‚ then looked up. "Marcus‚ bring Mirabel to the interrogation room. Now."Marcus hesitated. "She's with the elders. Do you want me to.. ""I don't care where she is. Get her."Marcus nodded and left without another word.
Chapter 76Jake's POVI threw the crumpled note onto my desk‚ my mind began to race. Why now—why did this have to happen when Sharon and I were not on good terms? Sharon was pissed at me because of the previous incident‚ and I couldn’t blame her.I stood in a not-so-uniformed manner and began pacing the room. My instincts kept screaming danger‚ but from where? Where did this note come from?Who had slipped past the borders without being detected? Unless... the culprit was from within. The Moontown pack’s security was airtight or so I thought.Just as I considered calling Marcus‚ a faint‚ lingering scent tickled my heightened senses. It wasn’t Killian’s scent‚ nor anyone familiar. It was earthy‚ tinged with metallic undertones. I followed the scent to the window‚ where the cold night breeze carried it further.I stepped outside‚ my sharp eyes scanning the dimly lit grounds. A shadow shifted near the treeline. “Show yourself!” I growled‚ my voice echoing through the silence. No response
Chapter 753rd POV Sharon stood right in the middle of the room‚ with her arms crossed‚ and her eyes locked on Jake. The silence between them elongated like an abyss it was suffocating and thick."Who is she?" Sharon finally asked with a very demanding voice.Jake breathed out slowly‚ running a hand through his hair. "I already told you. She’s just someone from my past.""That is not good enough‚ Jake." Sharon’s tone became edged with so much frustration. "She barged into our room‚ claiming you two were in a relationship. What am I supposed to think? I mean‚ what did you expect me to think? If it were you‚ wouldn't you demand answers immediately?""I’m not in control of what people say about me‚ Sharon‚" he said."But you didn’t deny it clearly enough‚" she shot back. "You hesitated. Why? What are you not telling me?""I didn’t hesitate‚" Jake replied‚ his voice calm but firm."You did‚" she insisted. "And it made you look guilty. Why couldn’t you just tell me the truth?""Because th
Chapter 743rd POV Sharon held the blanket tighter around her chest ‚ her eyes flicking nervously between Jake and the woman. “Jake ‚ who is she?” Her voice trembled fiercely.The woman crossed her arms firmly‚ her lips curving into a cold smirk. “He knows exactly who I am‚” she snapped.Jake’s jaw clenched so hard it seemed like it might shatter. “Leave. Now.”“Not until we talk‚” the woman insisted ‚ her voice sharp and filled with authority. “You owe me that much‚ Jake.”“I owe you nothing‚” Jake snapped‚ stepping forward. “Get out of here before I throw you out.”.Sharon’s heart sank deeply as she watched the tension between them. “Jake‚ just tell me what’s going on. Who on earth is she?”.The woman’s eyes turned to Sharon‚ her gaze cold and calculating. “I am someone who knew him long before you came into the picture.”.“Enough!” Jake shouted‚ grabbing the woman by her arm. “We’ll talk outside. Sharon‚ stay here.”.Sharon’s voice wavered‚ suspicion creeping up her spine. “Jake..
Chapter 733rd povThe dungeon was choked with damp air and the metallic stench of blood.. Alpha Mendez stood tall ‚ his eyes burning with fury as he glared at the rogue chained to the wall..“Who sent you?” Mendez’s voice was sharp‚ slicing through the silence like a blade. “Speak‚ or I’ll make you regret ever being born.”The rogue chuckled‚ his teeth stained red with his own blood. “You think I’m afraid of you? What’s the worst you can do? Do your worst.”Mendez’s grip tightened around the silver rod in his hand. Without another word‚ he pressed it against the rogue’s shoulder. A sickening sizzle filled the room‚ followed by a scream of pure agony.“Ahh! Stop! Stop!” the rogue cried out‚ writhing in pain.“Now‚ talk‚” Mendez growled‚ his patience hanging by a thread. “Who’s pulling the strings?”The rogue panted heavily‚ his head hanging low. “Mirabel..” he whispered‚ his voice barely audible.Mendez’s brow furrowed. “What?” he demanded.“Mirabel‚” the rogue repeated‚ lifting his h
