Mag-log inChapter 161 : Chase ChallengeStella’s POVThe sound of the alarm woke the entire pack.I had barely finished breakfast when a loud siren suddenly rang through the territory, followed by the sound of warriors shouting outside. People rushed through the streets, some carrying weapons while others ran toward the border.I stepped outside my room and saw several warriors moving quickly toward the main gate.“What happened?” I asked one of the servants who was running past.“Another attack.”My heart tightened.Another one?Before I could ask anything else, she disappeared into the crowd.I moved toward the window and looked outside. The pack was already dealing with enough problems, and now another attack had started.A few minutes later, the sound of fighting came from the direction of the border.Then I heard an explosion.The ground seemed to shake beneath my feet.People screamed.Several warriors came running back through the gate, and some of them were bleeding. One man had his arm
Chapter 169 : Almost Got Caught Stella’s POVMy heart was pounding so hard that I was afraid Chase would hear it through the door.Jaxon was still standing in front of me, but the moment we heard Chase’s footsteps getting closer, his entire expression changed. The warmth in his eyes disappeared, replaced by the careful look of a stranger who had no reason to be inside my room.“Stella!”I quickly looked toward the door.“Come in,” I called, forcing my voice to sound calm.The door opened almost immediately, and Chase stepped inside.My breath caught for a second.Jaxon was still in the room.There was no time to think.Jaxon moved quickly, dropping to the floor and sliding underneath my bed before Chase could see him. I turned away from the bed immediately, pretending that nothing had happened.Chase walked farther into the room and closed the door behind him.“What were you doing?” he asked.“Nothing.”He looked at me carefully.“You sounded strange when I called you.”“I was just s
Chapter 159Stella’s POVI closed the door behind me and leaned against it for a moment, finally allowing myself to breathe.The day had been exhausting.Ever since I first saw the new guard, something about him had bothered me. I had kept looking at his face, trying to understand why his eyes felt so familiar, why his voice made my heart react, and why the way he caught me when I almost fell felt exactly like something Jaxon would have done.I had been trying to convince myself that I was imagining everything but I could not anymore.I looked through the small opening in my door.The new guard was still standing outside.He was supposed to be protecting me.I stared at him for a few seconds before opening the door. “Guard, come in.”He looked around briefly before stepping inside.I closed the door, he turned toward me.For a moment, neither of us spoke, I walked closer to him and studied his face, he looked different, even the beard that I remembered so well was gone.I reached up
Chapter 158 Stella’s POVI could not stop looking at the man standing in front of me.There was something about him.I did not know what it was, but the moment Chase introduced him as one of his new personal guards, something inside me had become unsettled.He looked different from the men I had seen around Chase before. His hair was shorter, and there was a small earring in his ear that I did not remember seeing on him before. His clothes were simple, and his head remained lowered most of the time.Still, there was something familiar about him.Something I could not explain.“This is one of my new personal guards,” Chase said, pointing toward him. “He will be staying around the house.”The man immediately lowered his head.I continued staring at him.Chase noticed. “Why are you looking at him like that?”I quickly looked away. “Nothing. I just thought I knew him.”The guard did not raise his head.Chase looked at him for a moment, then back at me. “You know him?”“I don’t think so,”
Chapter 157Jaxon’s POVBy the time I reached the border of Chase’s territory, I was exhausted.Every part of my body hurt, especially my side where the wounds were still healing, and the journey had taken more out of me than I wanted to admit. There were moments when I had to stop and take a breath before continuing because my legs felt too weak to carry me.But I kept going.I could not turn back.Stella was somewhere inside this territory, and that was enough to keep me moving.I adjusted the jacket around my body and ran a hand through my shortened hair. I had changed almost everything about my appearance. My beard was gone, my hair looked different, and the earring in my ear made me look like someone I barely recognized.I had also changed the way I carried myself.I was no longer walking like an Alpha.I kept my shoulders slightly lowered and my head down, making myself look like an ordinary wolf who had nothing important to hide.As I approached the border, two warriors immedia
Chapter 156Jaxon’s POVI woke up slowly, staring at the ceiling while the pain in my body reminded me that I was still far from healed.For a moment, I did not remember where I was.Then everything came back, the fight, the warriors, chase, Stella.I tried to move, but a sharp pain ran through my side, forcing me to stop.Lycan was sitting nearby, and the moment he noticed that I was awake, he stood.“You’re awake.”I nodded slightly.My throat still felt dry, and speaking was difficult, but at least I could form words now. “The two people you sent there…" My voice came out weak.Lycan looked at me. “What about them?”“Have you heard anything?” He shook his head.“Not yet. They haven’t contacted me.”I frowned. “You’re sure?”“They know what they are doing,” he said. “They will get something. We just have to give them time.”I slowly pushed myself up.Time.That was the one thing I could not give them.“I can’t wait.”Lycan immediately frowned. “Jaxon, you need to rest.”“What if h
