Chapter 97AlexThe stranger's attention shifted to her and something flickered in his expression that I didn't like, interest mixed with curiosity that felt too intense. "Know them? We are them, this is Silver Crescent territory and I'm Simon, the pack's beta."My wolf relaxed slightly because if these were Silver Crescent wolves then they might be the very people we'd been trying to find, but that same instinct that had kept me alive this long whispered that something about this Simon felt off."You're Silver Crescent?" Nyx asked while hope colored her voice. "Then maybe you can help us, we're looking for information about someone who used to be part of your pack.""Is that so?" Adrian said while tilting his head in a gesture that reminded me uncomfortably of a predator sizing up prey. "Well then, why don't you come back to our territory and we can discuss this properly? Much more comfortable than standing around in the woods.""That's very generous," I said carefully while trying t

Chapter 99Alex"The cells?" I repeated while my wolf snarled with rage at the thought of being caged. "On what grounds? We're travelers passing through, you have no right to imprison us.""I have every right as alpha of this territory," Lucien said coldly. "And if you resist, I'll have you both thrown in silver chains and left to rot, your choice."Silver chains. The threat sent ice down my spine because silver burned werewolves on contact, weakened us in ways that made escape nearly impossible, and I knew Nyx wouldn't fare any better despite her dragon heritage."Please," Nyx said while stepping forward with her hands raised in a placating gesture. "We didn't come here to cause problems, we just want to understand what happened to my father, why he left, whether he's still alive somewhere.""He's not," Lucien said bluntly. "Karl died years ago, died like the coward he was running from the consequences of his actions, and good riddance because the world is better without traitors lik

Chapter 101Alex"The dragons are still alive that's if you'll be alive to ask them" My eyes shut up immediately."The dragons?" I asked like I haven't heard of their existence before."Dragons also saw an opportunity to use Karl, and he didn't care who he betrayed as long as he got what he wanted in the end.""But the dragons," Nyx started before catching herself, and I felt panic spike through our bond as she realized she'd almost revealed too much. "I mean, my mother never mentioned anything about dragons, just said that wolves had captured him.""Dragons were very much involved," the man said while watching her with sharp eyes that suggested he'd noticed her slip. "The war between our species was at its height twenty five years ago, and Karl saw an opportunity to play both sides, thought he could manipulate the dragons into helping him overthrow our dad and seize control of this pack.""That's insane," Nyx said. "Why would dragons help a wolf gain power?""Because he offered them

Chapter 103"Meaning you're being watched," Lucien said bluntly. "Every move you make, every conversation you have, every place you go in this compound is being monitored and reported back to pack leadership.""By you?" I guessed."By everyone," Lucien corrected. "This pack has long memories and no love for Karl or anyone associated with him, most wolves here would be happy to see you thrown out or worse, so I'd suggest you tread carefully and don't give anyone an excuse to act on their hostility.""Is that a threat?" Alex asked while his voice dropped to something dangerous."It's advice," Lucien said. "Whether you choose to take it or ignore it is up to you, but don't say I didn't warn you when things inevitably go wrong."He turned to leave but paused at the door and glanced back with something that might have been genuine concern flickering across his face."One more thing," he said. "Whatever you think you're going to find in those archives, whatever evidence you hope will clear

Chapter 105Nyx"Maybe nothing," Alex suggested. "Maybe Karl was just in the way, obstacle to power that needed to be removed, or maybe there was something specific about Karl that threatened Darius in ways we don't understand yet."A knock at the door interrupted our conversation again we both tensed, because we don't know why they're always coming to our room.When Alex opened it we found a young woman this time, with kind eyes standing there holding a tray laden with food."Morning," she said with a shy smile. "I'm Emma, one of the staff. The Alpha asked me bring you some clothes.""Thank you," I said while gesturing her inside. "That's very thoughtful."She set the clothes down and lingered for a moment the same way Martha did, like she wanted to say something but wasn't sure if she should. I caught Alex watching her carefully while clearly wondering if this was genuine kindness or another test."Is there something else?" I asked gently."I just," Emma started then glanced at the
