Chapter 170

Rhett’s POVTHE NEXT DAYI’m standing by my bedroom balcony, waiting to see if she would come. I’d sent an invite to the pack sorceress, hoping she would grace us with her presence. But right now, it’s been hours since I have been waiting. Since we have all been waiting. I look over my shoulder seconds later to see Danielle running a finger through his hair. Obviously bothered from all that’s been happening.I rake my hair still staring into the road, and just I have expected for the past couple of hours she walks into my premises.“Finally!” I say stepping away from the balcony in a hurry.“She’s here, I will be right back,” I add walking out of my bedroom into the hallway.The wards along the mansion walls shudder just slightly like a wolf bristling without fully baring its teeth. Almost like the magic from her isn’t breaking through the walls of my mansion. Like it’s being allowed.I stand at the foot of the

Chapter 171

Rhett’s POVI watch her leave, I watch how the front doors close behind her with a dull thud that seems to echo longer than it should.How the wards along the mansion walls settle, but I don’t.I remain at the top of the staircase long after she disappears beyond the gates. My wolf prowls beneath my skin, restless, and unsettled. Reminiscing on all that she had said about Kaelen.Alpha-born.Catalytic.A child whose blood awakens blood.My jaw tightens at that thought, and I clench my fist. Behind me, Danielle has retreated to our chambers as Kaelen sleeps in her arms. The servants move softly, sensing the shift in the air like some prey sensing a storm. I turn sharply seconds later headed toward my study.The door shuts harder than intended and then comes the silent. Then I continue pacing. Back and forth across the length of the room, boots striking against the polished wood of the floor.My hands clasp behind my back, then drag thr

Chapter 172

Rhett’s POVThe first call comes at 9:17 p.m.I’m in my study going over patrol rotations when my phone vibrates across the desk and Devon’s name flashes.I answer immediately. “Report.”“There’s been an attack downtown,” he says without greeting.I straighten in my chair. “Define attack.”“Bar fight turned massacre. Four wolves. Two pack members were injured. One dead.”My jaw tightens. “Rogues?”“That’s the strange part,” he replies. “They weren’t rogue-marked.”My fingers still for a second as I try to process it all.“Say that again.”“They carried no rogue scent. No exile mark. Nothing.”A slow burn begins in my chest. “Then what were they?”Devon exhales sharply. “Normal wolves.”Silence lingers for the first few seconds and the word hangs heavy between us.“Wolves don’t slaughter in bars,” I say evenly.“No,” he agrees. “They don’t.”“Where are they now?”“Two are dead. One fled. One’s in holdin

Chapter 173

Danielle's POVI have never been this afraid in my entire life. Not when rogues circled the borders months ago or even when the first blood was spilled.Not even when I gave birth to a child the sorceress called Alpha-born.But this—This feels like the beginning of something we won’t survive.The tunnel walls close in around us as we run. The air right now is damp and thick, heavy with earth and smoke filtering in from above. Kaelen is pressed tightly against my chest, wrapped in a blanket that smells like our bedroom, like safety that no longer exists.Behind us, the mansion collapses in stages and is on fire. Each distant crash feels like a rib cracking in my chest.“Keep moving!” Devon’s voice echoes ahead.Torches flicker along the stone corridor, casting long shadows that stretch and twist like claws along the walls. I can still hear wolves shouting behind us. The Warriors are ushering pack members through hidden entrances I never knew exis

Chapter 174

Danielle’s POVThe next morning, I wake up to the sound of breathing that isn’t my own, and for one disoriented second, I don’t know where I am.The air feels cooler and thicker right now, for some reason. Then memory slams back into me.The fire. The collapse. The tunnels. My eyes open slowly—stone ceiling.Lantern light dimmed to embers, and low murmurs echo faintly in the distance. Definitely from the surviving members.Underground. I mean we’re underground.And I’m wrapped in arms that feel like the only solid thing left in the world. Rhett.His chest rises steadily behind me, one arm draped heavily around my waist, the other tucked beneath my head. Even in sleep, his hold feels protective and tight enough that I can’t mistake it for an accident.His warmth seeps into my back, alongside his lasting scent which anchors me. For a moment, I let myself stay there. Ignore the fact that we’re not in our bed.His fingers flex slightly agai

Chapter 175

Danielle’s POVTime.The word sits wrong in my chest.“Time?” I repeat carefully. “How much time do we have left?”And almost instantly, his expression shifts slightly, in a guarded manner.“We are stabilizing internally,” he says. “We’ve doubled patrol rotations. We’re tracing financial routes connected to last night’s breach. And I’ve ordered a loyalty sweep.”“A loyalty sweep?” I ask quietly.“Yes.”“So you suspect someone specific.”“I suspect desperation,” he replies evenly.Before I can respond, hurried footsteps echo down the corridor and Devon appears at the entrance to the chamber, breathing hard.He doesn’t even try to mask the urgency.“Alpha.”Rhett’s posture changes instantly, so that it suddenly feels like steel has just driven into his spine.“What happened?”Devon’s eyes flick to me briefly before returning to Rhett.“It’s spreading.”My stomach drops, already knowing what it is—the attacks

Chapter 176

Rhett’s POVThe moment I step out of the eastern stronghold, the air feels different. Devon falls into step beside me as we move through the outer tunnel exit that opens into the forest.“Second division is assembling at the north ridge,” he says.“How many?”“Thirty-two ready. Fifteen more en route.”“Casualties?”“Seven confirmed dead total. Two still missing.”My jaw tightens.Seven.In less than twenty-four hours.“They’re pulling us outward,” Devon continues. “Downtown again. Warehouse district. Same pattern.”“Lure. Ambush. Retreat,” I mutter.“Yes.”I pause briefly at the tree line, scanning the horizon. Smoke rises faintly in the distance, not from our mansion this time but from the city.“They’re getting bolder,” Devon says.“They’re testing response time.”“And?”“And I’m about to shorten it.”The minute I say that, we shift and run into the woods seeing that the warriors are already gathered

Chapter 177

Matteo’s POVPain is the first thing I feel followed by the sharp ache deep in my side. And It drags me out of the darkness in my mind like claws scraping the bone inside.I inhale sharply, and I regret it instantly. My eyes open slowly to the stone ceiling above me. The low echo of distant voices and I realize I’m not in the warehouse or a pavement. But the tunnel. I’m back in the tunnel.Memory hits in fragments as I hold on to my head. Gunshots, wolves running off.I try to move but my sides scream in protest and then a hand tightens around mine instantly. I look down to find Danielle holding on to my wrist.Curled awkwardly beside the cot, her head resting near my arm, fingers wrapped tightly around my hand like she’s afraid I might disappear if she loosens her grip.She’s asleep, but obviously not peacefully that even in rest, her brows are slightly drawn.My chest tightens for an entirely different reason seeing that she’s right next to me.

Chapter 178

George’s POV BACK IN MOONSHINE PACK The news arrives before the break of dawn and I’m already awake when the call comes. The eastern patrol captain kneels in the war hall, soot still dusting his shoulders, the scent of smoke clinging to him like a trophy. “It’s confirmed, Alpha,” he says, voice tight with restrained satisfaction. “The mansion collapsed before midnight. The western wing caved in first. Fire spread through the foundation beams just like you wanted.” I don’t speak at first. I stand at the head of the long obsidian table, hands clasped behind my back, staring at the territorial map carved into the stone wall. “How many casualties?” I ask calmly. “Injuries. Structural loss is catastrophic. They evacuated what remained.” “Evacuated?” I asked letting the word roll through me. The captain lifts his gaze cautiously. “Reports say they’ve gone underground.” I nod once

Chapter 179

Danielle’s POVI’m not meant to be here, that much is obvious.The council chamber doors right now are partially closed, but not sealed, and I’m standing just far enough down the stone hallway to pretend I’m passing through.But I’m not. I haven’t moved in ten minutes.Inside, voices rise and fall, yet Rhett’s voice carries the most. A kind of cold tone that makes it obvious that something indeed is wrong. That’s how I know he’s furious.Devon has been declared officially missing for forty-eight hours now. No body. No blood trail. No confirmed sightings. Just gone.“You’re asking us to consolidate further?” Elder Corvin’s voice filters through the crack in the doors.“I’m ordering it,” Rhett replies evenly.“You already pulled the outer patrols inward,” another warrior says. “If we retreat any more, we’re practically ceding territory.”“We’re not retreating,” Rhett says. “We’re restructuring the plan.”Almost instantly, a low murmur
