Jason’s POV

Later that afternoon, I summoned Roy, my top warrior, and Henry, my trusted beta, into the war chamber.

Henry arrived first. I found him lounging casually against the edge of the map table, arms folded across his chest. “What is this about, Alpha?” he asked.

“Plans for the future,” I replied, and Henry nodded.

Roy arrived a few minutes later. We heard his heavy steps before he entered the chamber. His gray-streaked hair was combed neatly back, and he wore the black uniform of Shadow

    Maggie’s POVI woke up dizzy. The ceiling above me was unfamiliar and it took me a moment to understand where I was or how I had got there.The first thing I heard was Nolan's voice. He was speaking quickly and his tone was tight in the way it got when he was worried about something he could not control."What happened to her? Why did she collapse?”"Her body is under a lot of stress. She needs rest and time,” another voice responded."Stress does not cause someone to collapse like that, doctor. It has to be more than that,” Nolan responded.I lay still and listened and tried to work out what was wrong with me. My head ached and my mouth was dry. I felt weak and just did not feel right. Maybe Nolan was right. Did I pick up a cold? Was the mad rogue infection airborne?‘Stop,’ my wolf hushed. ‘You are overthinking. You are fine.’ I was not entirely sure I believed her, but I did not have the energy to argue.Then I heard Talia's voice. "Nolan, calm down. The doctor said she is fine. He

    Talia’s POVMaggie wiped her face with the back of her hand. She took a breath before she spoke. "He saw what happened with the bear, what the mad rogue blood did to the bear. Mason has not been able to stop thinking about it since. He wanted to see the map because he wanted to know where the tunnels were. He said if something like that happened inside the pack, he needed to know how to get me out. Mason, my mate, is not a traitor, Luna.”I swore under my breath. Clearly, we had not been careful enough with hiding what we were doing. Maggie thought Mason meant well, but I did not think that was his real reason for wanting her to get the map."I want you to hear me clearly, Maggie. If something happens in this pack, I will personally see to it that every pack member has access to those tunnels. I will not leave anyone behind. But I cannot disclose the location of those passages right now,” I finally responded."Why not?" she asked.‘Who is she to question us?’ my wolf snarled and I pus

    Talia’s POVNolan had finished showering when I woke. He was getting dressed, trying not to wake me, while I was enjoying the view. “Good morning,” I yawned. “What’s going on that has you up so early?”“Nothing. Just getting a jump on the day. I don’t want to spend the entire day in my office today,” Nolan replied. He kissed me on my forehead before heading to the door. "Come to the office when you are ready.”"It may be a while," I responded. "I have something to confirm first.”Nolan paused in the doorway and turned around. "Everything alright?""Yes, nothing for you to worry about,” I replied.“When you say it like that, it makes me feel like I should worry,” Nolan chuckled but I could tell he was concerned. “I promise I will explain everything later,” I reassured. Nolan hesitated for another second, nodded, and left. ‘Why didn’t you tell him?’ my wolf asked. ‘Because we could be wrong about Maggie,’ I replied. By the time I got to the dining room, breakfast was already laid

    Maggie’s POVMason was already in the room when I got back that evening. He came to me before I had even set down my bag, pulled me into a hug, and kissed me.We had been living together for a few days, and I was still getting used to it. The closeness was something I had wanted for a long time. Waking up beside him, having him there at the end of the day, all of it was exactly what I had hoped for. However, it still felt odd having someone around when I was sorting through my thoughts."You are quiet, tonight," Mason said as he kissed my forehead. "What happened?""You almost got me caught today," I replied. “That is what’s wrong.”“What do you mean?” Mason asked.“I went to study and I was standing outside the door working up the nerve to go in when Luna came down the hall. I had to tell her I was asking about lunch." I explained as I sat down on the edge of the bed."But she did not accuse you of anything," he said.“She didn’t have to. I could tell from the way she looked at me. S

    Talia’s POV"Resume normal duties for now," I said. "Nolan will confirm the patrol schedule and tunnel assignments."Walden nodded and looked at Nolan."Before you go," Nolan said. "The men who worked on the tunnels did good work. Make sure they are rewarded well for it.""How would you like it handled?" Walden asked."Generously," Nolan replied. "It was a huge task and they delivered without complaint and without anyone outside finding out. I want them to know that we appreciate their efforts.""Understood," Walden said."Starting tomorrow, reduce patrols," Nolan continued. "We need two guards stationed near each tunnel entrance, but nothing obvious. They need to rotate every six hours. With the wall built, no one will think twice about the reduced patrols. Put the remaining guards into training.""I will have the full schedule to Marco before the end of the day," Walden said."Good," Nolan said. "That is all for now."Walden bowed to me lightly and left.Nolan was quiet for a moment

    Talia’s POV"Do you genuinely believe it is possible?" I asked.Leslie was quiet for a moment before she answered. "No," she said flatly."Wait, what?" Della exclaimed. "What do you mean no?""The mad rogue toxin is not like wolfsbane. It is not even close. I have spent years studying wolfsbane and its variants and I thought I had a reasonable understanding of how strong a toxin could get. What I dealt with today was dozens of times stronger than anything I had encountered before. Without the blood purification, Landon would have died," Leslie explained, her voice tight with fear. "I went in knowing what I was dealing with and I still nearly lost him.""So, you are still going to try?" I asked."Of course. This threat cannot be ignored," Leslie replied. "Every pack out there is now aware that the mad rogues are active again. If anyone is wounded and there is no antidote available, people will die. So yes, I am going to try.""Then we will support you however we can," Nolan stated.Les

I swear I didn’t mean any harm.”‘She is only sorry because she is being punished,’ my wolf snarled. ‘You’ve been too lenient with this pup.’I felt no regret. I only felt exhauste
