I hesitated. Telling her would mean crossing a line I had been trying to avoid. But there was no turning back now.

"Pack defenses. Our border patrol rotations. The locations of our safe houses."

Lila sucked in a sharp breath, her fists clenching at her sides. "He gave that to the Drakkons?"

"Yes," I admitted. "And more."

Her lips parted slightly, disbelief flickering across her face before anger consumed it again. "And you weren’t going to tell me?"

I sighed. "I was going to tell you, but not like this. You’ve been recovering, Lila. You didn’t need this stress."

"Are you serious right now?" She let out a bitter laugh. "Do I look like someone who needs coddling?"

Jake mumbled, "You kinda look like someone who needs a punching bag."

She spun on him so fast he nearly tripped over his own feet. "Don’t tempt me."

"Noted," he muttered.

I pinched the bridge of my nose, trying to keep my frustration in check. "Lila, listen. I was handling it."

She scoffed. "Handling it?

    Jake's breath hitched, his mind reeling from the weight of Lila’s revelation. His heartbeat pounded in his ears as he stared at her, the woman he had sworn to protect, the woman he had longed for, and the very person he had been hunting all this time.Lucas was frozen beside him, eyes wide in disbelief. He had dismissed Jake’s suspicions for years, never once believing that Lawrence could be so close. And yet, here she was—Lila, the ghost of their past, the hacker who had tormented them, the enemy they had chased relentlessly.“You…” Lucas started, his voice hoarse. “You’re Lawrence?”Lila nodded, her face unreadable, but the tension in her shoulders betrayed her unease. “Yes.”Jake exhaled slowly, forcing himself to focus. “So, everything—the break-ins, the leaks, the near-death encounters—you orchestrated all of it?”“Yes,” she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper.Lucas clenched his fists, the urge to lash out evident in his rigid posture. “You were toying with us. With him.”

    "We need to leave. Now."Lila's voice cut through the silence like a blade, her tone sharp and urgent. Jake and Lucas exchanged glances, still reeling from the storm of revelations. But the panic in her eyes was undeniable."Leave?" Lucas scoffed, arms crossed. "After everything you just dumped on us, now you expect us to run off without an explanation?"Lila exhaled sharply, her hands clenching into fists. "This isn't about me. My private servers have been compromised. If we don't get to them first—""Your servers?" Jake interrupted, narrowing his eyes. "What's on them?"Lila hesitated, shifting uncomfortably. "Information. A lot of it. Everything I’ve ever gathered on every pack, every leader, every backdoor deal that violates the treaty. If the Drakkons get their hands on it—""War," Jake finished, his jaw tightening.Lucas let out a string of curses under his breath. "You're telling me you've been collecting dirt on everyone this whole time?""For leverage," Lila admitted. "In cas

    They reached the one of server room, the large space filled with rows of blinking terminals. But it was the figure at the central console that sent a bolt of ice through Jake’s veins. A man stood hunched over the controls, fingers flying across the keys. The glow of the screens reflected off his sharp features, his presence exuding quiet menace. Lila stiffened. "That’s not possible..." she whispered. The man turned, his lips curling into a smirk. "Surprised to see me, Lawrence?" Lucas went rigid. "Who the hell is that?" "Damon," Lila said, her voice barely above a whisper. "He was supposed to be dead." Jake’s grip on his weapon tightened. "Clearly, he's not." Damon chuckled, stepping away from the console. "Oh, come on. Did you really think I wouldn’t have a backup plan? Lila, you of all people should know better." Lila’s expression darkened. "What did you do?" Damon spread his arms. "I took everything. Every file, every secret you’ve ever hoarded. And now, I decide

    "We need to leave. Now." Lila Screemed "You can’t be serious." Lucas’s voice was sharp, disbelief laced in every syllable."I am," Lila replied, her expression unyielding. "I’m going to Vestbroke. I don’t have a choice.""Like hell you don’t," he snapped. "You nearly died, Lila. And now you think you can just—""I have to," she interrupted, her voice steady but carrying an edge of desperation. "If I don’t, we all suffer the consequences. You don’t understand what’s at stake."Jake exhaled slowly, watching the exchange with narrowed eyes. "Lila, we get that this is important, but you’re barely standing. What happens if you collapse before we even get there?"Lila squared her shoulders. "I won’t."Lucas let out a frustrated scoff. "Oh, so now you’re immortal? That explosion almost killed you. You lost your arm, for crying out loud! You can barely breathe without wincing, and you think you can handle a trip to Vestbroke?"Lila’s jaw tightened. "I don't need your permission.""Maybe not,

    "This is a terrible idea." Lucas’s voice was tight with frustration, his fingers drumming impatiently against his knee. He sat in the passenger seat, eyes fixed on Lila in the back. "You keep saying that, yet here I am," Lila said smoothly, crossing her legs. Jake, behind the wheel, sighed. "You two gonna do this the entire trip?" "If she stops being impossible, then maybe," Lucas shot back. Lila smirked. "Impossible? You act like I had a choice. You know as well as I do that we can't be apart for long—not without consequences." Lucas clenched his jaw. He hated that she was right. Their mate bond had grown too strong. If they had left her behind, the pain of separation would have been unbearable. But that didn’t mean he had to like this arrangement. Jake flicked his gaze toward him. "Look, man, I get it. But we’ve got bigger problems than you and Lila being in the same car." Lucas exhaled sharply. "I know that." He turned back to Lila. "But that doesn’t mean I trust yo

    NEXT "Because no one else is," Lila snapped. "Because he's not just hiding—he's planning something." Lucas’s stomach churned. Rikkard of the Snow Court wasn’t someone to take lightly. Unpredictable. Dangerous. A killer. "How bad is it?" Lucas asked. Lila took a slow breath. "Bad enough that if we don’t stop him, it won’t matter what the Drakkons want. He’ll get there first." Jake shot her a quick glance. "Get where?" Lila hesitated again, but then she said it. "The Arctic." —--------------------------- The Arctic Invasion Plan:"That’s impossible." Lucas shook his head, trying to process Lila’s words. "No one’s reckless enough to try that." Lila let out a humorless laugh. "Then you don’t know Rikkard." Jake cursed under his breath. The Arctic was Drakkon territory. No one entered without consequence. "Why would he go there?" Jake demanded. "Because he’s not just going," Lila said. "He’s invading." Lucas’s breath caught. "Invading? You’re saying he’s taking

    Lucas rubbed his temple, frustration evident in the sharpness of his voice. "Let’s say for one insane second that you’re right—that these creatures were real, that they fought against gods. How does that explain them disappearing without a trace? Things that powerful don’t just vanish.""They didn’t vanish," Lila murmured. "They were erased."Jake let out a low whistle, shaking his head. "You’re asking us to believe that an entire species, one powerful enough to challenge gods, was just wiped out? No survivors, no remnants, nothing?""Not nothing," Lila countered. "Their power remained. Buried, hidden, sealed away by those who feared what it could do."Lucas exhaled, staring out the window at the vast emptiness beyond the road. "And now Rikkard is looking for it.""He’s not just looking," Lila said, her voice barely above a whisper. "He’s close to finding it."Jake gripped the wheel tighter, his knuckles turning white. "That’s what you’re really afraid of, isn’t it?"Lila swallowed ha

    "Are you sure this is the only way?" Jake’s voice cut through the low hum of the engine, his fingers tapping impatiently against his knee."No, I just enjoy dragging myself to the most cursed place imaginable for fun," Lila shot back, her gaze fixed on the road ahead.Lucas exhaled sharply from the driver’s seat, his grip tightening around the wheel. "Both of you, cut it out. We’re almost there."The tension inside the vehicle was suffocating. The journey to Vestbroke had been long, the roads desolate and winding. They had only stopped a handful of times—to refuel and grab a quick bite to eat. None of them were particularly thrilled about the destination, least of all Lila.She could already feel the cold creeping into her bones as they neared the abandoned manor. It loomed ahead like a shadow from the past, its dark silhouette stark against the moonlit sky.She swallowed hard, her fingers tightening in her lap. "We shouldn’t be here."Jake turned to look at her, catching the unease i

    “Come on, Lila—move!” Jake’s voice echoed, frantic yet distant over the static of her heart pounding. With every agonizing second that ticked away on the digital screen above the stolen servers, the container’s red countdown screamed at her: 00:00:01.Lila’s body, battered and seared with silver poison still burning through her veins, refused to yield to despair. Every muscle cried out in protest as she dragged herself across the cold metal floor, her cybernetic arm scraping along a jagged line of shattered concrete. The room was a chaos of scattered cables, twisted server racks, and shattered dreams—a grim battlefield illuminated by the harsh glow of the countdown timer still frozen at the edge between hope and oblivion.“Arika!” she rasped, voice strained with desperation, “I—”No answer came but the relentless beep of the timer.Arika lay crumpled nearby, blood trickling from her ravaged face, her eyes filled with a frenzy of rage and defeat. Lila’s vision blurred; all that mattere

    ...Her vision darkened at the edges. Her muscles slackened.The poison was winning.But she’d stopped the countdown.She’d stopped her.And that was worth every drop of blood.“I thought you were smarter than this,” Arika’s voice cracked through the silence like a whip, low and bitter. “But you’re still just the broken girl who doesn’t know when to give up.”Lila barely had time to look up before she heard the click.Arika had drawn a second weapon—a sleek silver-plated handgun—and was aiming it straight at her.“Guess what this one’s loaded with,” Arika sneered. “Silver. Custom made. Just for you.”Lila’s instincts screamed. Her own weapon trembled in her bleeding hand as she forced herself upright. Her breath was sharp, her body sluggish. But her mind? Sharp. Deadly.She raised her gun to match Arika’s.Both women locked eyes, frozen, guns trained on each other in the flickering red light of the destroyed container. Sparks flared behind them, the silence stretching tight like a live

    Arika collapsed to her knees, hands trembling. “It was supposed to end. I needed it to end.”Lila stared at her for a long moment. The woman before her wasn’t just a villain. She was broken. And dangerous.But she was also her sister.“I’m not giving you the keys,” Lila said softly. “And I’m not letting you destroy this.”The red glow of the screen illuminated both their faces—sweat, grime, blood.It was over.But it wasn’t.Not even close.With a sudden, primal scream, Arika lunged upward, throwing herself at Lila with bone-snapping force.Lila staggered, taken off guard by the sheer desperation behind the charge. Arika’s elbow jammed into her chest, sending her reeling against the grated floor of the container. Sparks showered around them from dislodged cables. A warning alarm somewhere nearby wailed, short and sharp.Arika didn’t stop.She pounced again—this time, tackling Lila to the ground. Both women hit the metal floor hard, their bodies tangled in fury and pain. The detonator

    “You’re insane, Arika. You know that, right?”“Insane?” Arika’s voice oozed with mockery. “Please. That’s such a civilian diagnosis.”Lila’s fists clenched as she took another step forward, her eyes locked on the massive screen overhead—00:09:56. The red numbers blinked with a deadly calmness, each second ticking away a piece of her resolve. Beneath the screen, her servers stood like monuments to everything she’d fought for. Wired with explosives.“You’re going to kill us both,” Lila spat, her voice shaking with fury. “All of this—just to prove a point?”“Oh no, darling.” Arika twirled the sleek detonator in her hand, its silver surface catching the dim light. “Not to prove a point. To make one.”“You planted explosives on the servers!” Lila’s voice rose, ragged. “Are you listening to yourself?”Arika chuckled softly, stepping aside to reveal a clearer view of the blinking red lights wired into each server unit. “I told you this was always bigger than us. You just didn’t want to belie

    Lila followed Arika up the ramp, her boots clinking softly against the grated metal, heart thudding louder with each step. Something in Arika’s voice lingered like smoke—too calm, too measured. She didn’t trust it. Not for a second.“You keep the data onboard?” Lila asked, eyes flicking to the wall-mounted surveillance cams. The ship’s interior was sleek but sterile, with black paneling and chrome fixtures. Cold. Like its owner.“No,” Arika said, stopping at a narrow corridor. “I keep my insurance onboard.”She keyed a code into the control pad, and a mechanical hiss broke the silence. A door slid open, revealing a freight elevator platform.“After you,” Arika said with a mock bow.Lila stepped in cautiously, hand still near her weapon. The platform hummed, descending smoothly into the ship’s belly. A few seconds passed in silence. Arika didn’t move. Didn’t smile.Then the metal chamber opened—and Lila’s breath caught.Rows of blinking machines lined the container-sized space. The ser

    The Vault’s Truth:Arika’s voice cut through the still air like a blade. “You ever stop and ask yourself what the point of it all is?”Lila didn’t answer immediately. The faint hum of the servers was the only sound between them. Outside, the snow still howled, muffled through thick bunker walls. Her fingers hovered over the tablet screen, pulling fragments of data—locations, funds, faces of corrupt officials—but her mind was already one step ahead.“I used to,” she said finally, gaze still fixed on the display. “I used to think the world was rotten to the core. That maybe if I set a match to everything, it’d feel better.”Arika snorted. “It doesn’t.”“No,” Lila agreed, voice softer now. “It just burns you with it.”That silenced Arika for a beat. Lila glanced over, catching the flicker of doubt that cracked through her sister’s sarcasm.“You sound like one of those therapy podcasts the Alphas play for their anxious mates.”“I sound like someone who’s been burned before.” Lila turned o

    Frostbite and Fireworks:"“You sure you’re not walking me into a trap?”Lila’s voice cut through the storm, low and razor-sharp, carried on the wind like a blade tossed by fate."Would I waste this much time just to kill you?” Arika replied without glancing back, her silhouette a blur through the thick curtain of snow. “Don’t flatter yourself.”"You’ve done worse for less."Lila adjusted the grip on her sidearm beneath her coat, every muscle coiled. “And you still haven’t answered how you got the servers out of here without leaving a trail.”"You'll see.”It wasn’t a tease. It wasn’t a threat. It was a promise laced with something darker—familiar, dangerous, and maddeningly vague.The snowstorm howled around them like a feral thing, wind battering exposed skin and biting through layers as they trudged deeper into the derelict port grounds. Long-dead cranes loomed like rusted sentinels, skeletal and forgotten. The place reeked of salt, decay, and memory.Lila kept scanning—trees, rooft

    The locket in Arika’s hand glinted one last time in the fading light before she tucked it into the folds of her coat, her fingers twitching as though the cold no longer bothered her—just the past that still clung to her skin.But Lila wasn’t finished.Not yet.She turned slowly, like a predator toying with a rival too confident for her own good. “You know,” she said conversationally, her voice laced with honeyed venom, “for someone who prides herself on good taste, I’m surprised you didn’t notice the warning signs.”Arika’s head tilted. “What signs?”Lila’s smile was all razor-edge charm. “Oh, just that Salicus was riddled with diseases. Biochemical ones. I should know—I left him with a few.”The blow landed with precision. A flicker of something passed through Arika’s expression—a stutter in her breath, a twitch at the corner of her mouth. She masked it quickly, but not quickly enough.“You’re bluffing,” Arika said, voice clipped.“Am I?” Lila stepped closer, letting her words drip.

  • Mated To Twin Alphas    Chapter 172

    Lila’s lips parted slightly, but no words came out. That sentence—so personal, so venomous—stuck in her like a blade wedged between ribs.Arika didn’t wait for her to recover. She turned and walked slowly toward the edge of the clearing, her fingers brushing the frost-covered rail of a long-abandoned cargo lift. The silence between them thickened.“I had a guest once,” Arika called over her shoulder, too casual. “You might know him. Salicus Grante.”Lila’s body snapped to attention.The name landed like a hammer.“You’re lying.”Arika looked back, one eyebrow raised. “Am I?”“Salicus is dead.”Arika gave a mocking little shrug. “Is that what you tell yourself to sleep at night? Or just what you hope is true?”Lila took a shaky step forward. Her pulse thundered in her ears. “Where. Did. You. See. Him.”“Here. There. Doesn’t matter,” Arika said. “He’s a wanderer. A very persistent one. Had a few... interesting stories about you, too. I see where you get your taste in men.”Lila’s hands
