All Chapters of My Plus-Size Best Friend Is My Mate: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

The battle“It’s too quiet,” Daniel muttered from behind, echoing Nathan’s exact thoughts.Darius glanced back, his face impassive. “She’s underground. The warehouse is just a front.”Nathan’s jaw tightened. “Underground? How do we get down there?”“There’s an access point inside,” Darius replied. “A hatch in the floor. It leads to a network of tunnels. That’s where she is.”Nathan exchanged a look with Ashina, but she immediately tore her gaze away. The idea of walking into an underground labyrinth filled with undead werewolves sent a chill down his spine, but they had come too far to turn back now.They reached the entrance, a heavy steel door that creaked ominously as Nathan pushed it open. The warehouse was just as Darius had said—empty. The vast space was littered with debris, old crates, and rusted machinery, but there was no sign of life. No sign of Natalie or her loyalists.“Where’s the hatch?” Nathan asked, his voice low.Darius pointed to a large stack of crates near the far

The battle IIIHe turned to Ashina, who had fallen to her knees, clutching her injured arm. He rushed to her side, his heart aching with a mix of relief and guilt.“Ashina,” he whispered, kneeling beside her. “Are you okay?”She looked up at him, her eyes filled with pain, but also with a fierce determination. “I’m fine,” she said, though her voice was shaky. ““That’s it?” Erica asked looking around. “She’s gone?” As if in answer to her question, the ground beneath their feet began to rumble.“This place is going down.” Darius warned, “Let’s get out of here.”They all ran towards the same route they came in. To their surprise, the remaining undead began to dissolve into thin air. Suddenly, the roof above them began to collapse debris by debris.“Come on!” Daniel yelled, holding on to Erica behind him. They all made it out in time but just as Daniel was about to reach for the exit, a metallic beam fell onto him, impaling his thigh and rendering him immobile. “Argh!” He yelled in p

Ashina’s povDarren’s eyebrows shot up, his surprise quickly turning into a grin. “Wait, hold up! You’re telling me we’ve got a king in our midst?” He stood abruptly, giving a mock bow that was exaggerated. “Your Majesty,” he said, his voice dripping with playful reverence.We all burst out laughing. The image of Darren, with his disheveled hair and casual clothes, bowing to Nathan was too ridiculous to take seriously. Even Nathan couldn’t help but crack a smile, the stern Alpha demeanor momentarily softened by the amusement.Nathan waved him off, still chuckling. “Cut it out, Darren. Besides, the title doesn’t mean much when you’re trying to keep a pack from being killed.”“Hey, a title’s a title,” Darren quipped, returning to his seat. “But seriously, you’re doing a hell of a job keeping things together. It’s not easy being an Alpha, let alone with everything you’ve had to go through.”Nathan nodded, the weight of his responsibilities momentarily dimming the light in his eyes. “Yeah

Nathan’s povI dropped the body without thinking and rushed over to her side, Daniel hot on his heels. Ashina stood rigid, her eyes locked on the ground in front of her.“Oh my God,” Ashina whispered, her voice trembling. “What…what is this?”Ashina was standing frozen, her gaze fixed on something in the dirt. My stomach dropped as I followed her line of sight.Two skeletons, yellowed and brittle, lay partially unearthed before her. The sight hit me like a punch to the gut, memories I tried so hard to bury rushed back all at once. I could almost hear the echoes of that fateful night—their desperate breaths, the cold satisfaction that had settled over me once the deed was done. And now, here they were, staring up at me through empty sockets as if to accuse me of a crime that time should have erased.“God, no…” I breathed, his voice barely more than a whisper.Daniel stepped up beside me, his face pale, his eyes wide with the same recognition. Ashina hadn’t looked up yet, her gaze still

Nathan’s povDaniel hesitated, his eyes narrowing as he considered my words. “Are you sure? It saved us once, Nathan. What if we need it again?”I shook my head. “I’m not willing to take that risk. We don’t know what else is out there, who else could find it? We’re better off without it.”He stared at me for a long moment, his expression conflicted. I could see the gears turning in his head, the doubts weighing on him. But in the end, he knew I was right. The field was too dangerous, too unpredictable. It had to go.“Alright,” he said finally. “But if this backfires…”“It won’t,” I assured him, even though I wasn’t entirely sure myself. “We’ll take care of it, and then it’ll be done. No more secrets, no more danger.”Daniel nodded, but there was still a flicker of uncertainty in his eyes. I didn’t blame him. This was our parents’ legacy we were talking about—something they had planted, nurtured, protected. But they were gone now, and it was up to us to make the hard decisions, to prot
