All Chapters of New Blood: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

I was going to enjoy ripping the doctor’s head clean off. She had to be the one covering for him. It made sense. She was smug, entitled, and exactly the kind of person who’d plot murder just to prove she could.I meet the boys and fill them in as we race to the pack hospital. As we arrive, I spot her across the waiting room, laughing with an orderly like she hasn’t got a care in the world.The moment her eyes land on me, she plasters on a fake smile. But I catch the panic flashing behind her eyes when she notices the wall of muscle standing behind me.“What can I do for you all?” she asks sweetly as we approach.I resist the urge to lunge at her. Layla’s fury pounds through my chest, clouding my judgment. My fingers elongate against my will, the storm inside me begging to break free.Then a childish cackle echoes from down the corridor. It doesn’t help the rage—but it reminds me where we are. In the middle of a busy hospital. With children.I clench my fists instead, digging my claws

Caden’s POVI’m in awe. My mother—the most caring, loving wolf I’ve ever known—is a fucking psycho.Now I get it. Why people call her ruthless. Why my family warned me never to step between her and a threat to the pack.Because I just watched her skin a man’s arms.And I can’t look away.I want to be sick. I feel sick. But I’m also weirdly fascinated. The way she moves—calm, focused. She’s not just torturing this guy… she’s working. And the fact that he still hasn’t talked? That baffles me more than anything.Surely most men would’ve cracked by now?Grandpa’s kicked back in a chair with his feet up like this is just another night at the movies. Ben is moving around the room gathering more tools, ready to hand them off like some sick little helper. Matt’s leaning against the wall yawning, like this is the most normal thing in the world.And Dad?He’s beside me, beaming. Absolutely enchanted by Mum. Proud, too. I can see it in his eyes.This whole experience is just… bizarre.Mum turns

LILLY’S POVMost mothers would be sick after witnessing what I just saw—but those mothers aren’t me.I’m raising an Alpha. And from the looks of it, not just any Alpha—Caden might one day be one of the strongest this pack, and maybe even the world, has ever seen.Eventually, he’ll have no choice but to do things like this. It comes with the territory. But most people—even some Alphas—wouldn’t have the stomach for what Caden just did. Not at his age.Honestly? I’m impressed. And proud. He didn’t back down. I thought for sure he’d bow out after the second time he got sick, but he didn’t. It was like something snapped inside him, and a killer instinct kicked in—one he’ll need to be a good Alpha. A just one. A strong one.We practically skip back to the pack house, high on adrenaline and relief, but the second we walk through the door, I freeze. Drake halts beside me. And Caden? He goes rigid from head to toe.Standing in front of us are Baylee and May.I feel Caden’s fear spike. He’s ter

We lie in each other’s arms, resting after an eventful evening. Drake chooses a movie, but I barely register what’s on the screen. My mind is lost in thought when his voice cuts through the quiet.“You weren’t thrilled about Caden going, and yet you still defended me. Why?”The question comes out of nowhere. I frown, glancing up at him as he plays with my fingers.It’s random that he’s even thinking about that conversation—let alone questioning my loyalty.“A few reasons, actually,” I say, irritation rising that he’d think I’d let anyone—especially Emma—disrespect my husband in public.“Mmhmm? Those being?”“For starters, it doesn’t matter what I say to you—you’re my husband. Mine.”I sit up, confused about why we’re even having this conversation.“That discussion is between me and you. I can say what I want, when I want. But other people?” I growl. “They can’t.”His eyebrows shoot up at my tone, and he smirks, cupping my cheek gently.“Plus, I’ll always support your decisions in publ

Just as I’m pulling myself together, a link opens between me and Drake.“Alpha, Luna, someone has released the doctor and knocked out the guards on duty!”A growl tears from my chest. I spin around and sprint toward the cellar.“Wait, Lilly! Wait for me!” Drake calls after me. He’s more worried about me than the escapee, but I’m beyond furious. As if that woman hadn’t caused enough damage already.The scent hits me before I even reach the cellar—sharp, bitter, unmistakable.“Wolfsbane,” I growl, storming down the steps. “Can’t you smell it?”Drake swings the door open behind me, frowning. “No.”“They were shot with it,” I mutter, already knowing what I’ll find. Sure enough, chaos greets us. Chairs splintered, the wall of tools in total disarray. Glass shattered. Tables crushed. Everything destroyed.But nothing boils my blood more than the three men sprawled on the floor, each with a dart buried in his throat. All hit with wolfsbane.I rush to them, placing my hands on each chest, for
