Silas - POV "It appears that the Dark Angel crew attacked Dr. Rudolf," Emily stated while examining the body. Why would the Dark Angel target Dr. Rudolf? Could there be a connection between Dr. Rudolf and Jake? "Yuri and Mac, search Rudolf's home and clinic," I instructed. I returned to the mansion, where Elena awaited me, worried about the news of Dr. Rudolf's passing. "Alpha Silas, we have Alpha Theo and Beta Luke at our pack border," the guard at the border informed me through the mind-link. "Lead them to my office." I linked. "Silas, who killed Dr. Rudolf?" Elena asked, her concern evident. "The Dark Angel, according to Emily's examination," I whispered. Elena appeared momentarily confused but soon recalled who the Dark Angel crew was. "Jake, but why Dr. Rudolf? I can understand the connection between Letty and Jake, but..." Elena paused, observing my rigid demeanor. "Why are you staring off into the distance? Are you expecting someone?" Elena inquired, following the direc

Jake - POV"You seem surprised. I thought you could see through me," Janice smiled."I thought the other woman Theo sent was his mate, but I guess he was testing my loyalty," I said calmly, though I hate being treated like shit."You look upset," Janice added."Does it matter what we feel? It's clear you treat us like slaves," Kevin hissed."Tone it down. I am here to take you, Blood Pack," Janice's voice was laced with annoyance."Why now? Theo never wanted us to step into his Pack," Shawn asked.Janice explained that the shrine of the seal came to light when Elena was near the Blood Pack. Theo had invited Silas and Elena to his Pack to help Elena find the shrine that would break her out of the seal. Once Elena gets her wolf, I must steal Elena's power, the Key. Once Elena's power is in my possession, it will be easy to kill Silas, who is called the lock and also the protector of the Moon Goddess's power. Theo and his Beta, Luke, will get into Paradise to steal the Moon goddess's powe

Elena - POVSilas had left with Mac for the Blood Pack to discuss matters with their elder. He was adamant that he hadn't killed Theo. Moreover, Silas urgently needed to retrieve Letty from the Blood Pack. He'd learned from Jake that Letty was imprisoned in the Blood Pack's dungeons, trying to gather intel about Janice and Jake.I hadn't had a chance to talk with Silas, nor did I know how to use the mental link with our mate, as Silas did. Information from Henry and Emily had me perplexed. Furthermore, I had to return to the Minnesota Studio since Cindy had asked for my opinion on a few scenes. Ordinarily, Cindy wouldn't have involved me in such minor decisions, but she'd been unable to contact Janice. Unsurprisingly, given that Janice had betrayed me, revealing herself not as a human but as a she-wolf, and was causing trouble."Driving alone?" Emily asked as I got into the car."Yuri is tied up with Pack matters. I have Celeste with me for protection," I replied, smiling. I needed tim

Silas - POVMembers of the Blood Pack encircled Theo's mansion, mourning their Alpha's death, as I reverently placed Theo's body in a casket. As a sign of peace and non-violence, I extend a universal gesture recognized by all packs. Recognizing my intent, the members relinquished their defensive postures.Pack elders, with their unreadable expressions, stepped forward. I could sense their animosity towards me, even as Ray attempted to impose our dominance on their wolves. I prevented him from doing so, acknowledging their grief over their fallen Alpha."What brings you here, Alpha Silas? Surely you aren't just returning our deceased Alpha?" An elder inquired, a bitter tone threading his words."I am here to share the truth you've been withholding from the Pack." My announcement stirred murmurs amongst the crowd, and the elder's countenance darkened."This conversation should be conducted privately," the elder suggested."Quite the contrary. I am here to inform the Pack that Alpha Theo

Silas - POVThe Blood Pack left in high spirits following my response, but I noticed Elena's joy was missing; her face clouded with concern. Yuri and Mac also turned their attention toward her."Elena, you're trembling. Is something wrong?" "Huh... What..." Elena murmured, seeming dazed. I took her hand, hoping to calm her tremors. Her body relaxed slightly at my touch. I gently embraced her, trying to reassure her. Could her new wolf powers be overwhelming her? Or could it be that her illness had not fully subsided, and she was in pain, hiding it from me?"Silas, you're too loud," Elena grumbled through mind-link."But I haven't said anything yet." I linked back."I can read your thoughts, Silas, all of them, including your erotic fantasies about me. How you imagine me riding your enormous member, your hands grabbing my backside, wanting to spank me hard." I swallowed hard at her words, Elena smirking at my reaction. "You shouldn't eavesdrop on others' thoughts, Elena. I thought you
