Semua Bab The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge: Bab 81 - Bab 90

The scent of brine and ozone was the first thing to greet Jack as the heavy hatch hissed open, pushed aside by Finch’s unnervingly steady hands. It was the smell of freedom, a stark contrast to the sterile, recycled air of the submersible that had been their sanctuary and transport. Cold night air, heavy with the dampness of the coast, rushed in, caressing Jack’s face. He took a deep, grounding breath, his eyes adjusting to the gloom of the abandoned naval pier.Rusting steel skeletons loomed around them like forgotten giants, silhouetted against a starless, overcast sky. The gentle lapping of water against corroded pylons was the only sound, a mournful rhythm in the dead of night. Finch moved with a liquid grace that defied his age, securing the vessel with practiced efficiency before turning to Jack. His posture was, as always, that of the perfect butler, yet his eyes held the alertness of a predator.Marcus was the last to emerge. He moved with a new, profou

The news of the Nightingale Sanitarium’s complete destruction and the Weaver’s failure rippled through the highest echelons of the Fenrir Council like a seismic shock. In a sterile, holographic boardroom miles above the earth in their cloaked orbital headquarters, the Council’s inner circle convened. Their rage was a cold, silent thing, far more terrifying than any outburst. They had lost their primary research facility, their most feared assassin, and a significant portion of their long-term assets in a single, catastrophic night.Sending more supernatural assassins against Jack Sterling was no longer a viable option. He had proven himself to be a master of that game. So, they decided to change the game entirely. The command was given, whispered from a shadowy throne into the global network of power the Council had spent centuries building. They initiated the ‘Dust Protocol’.It wasn't a physical attack. It was an execution by a thousand cuts

The Iron Claw did not operate like the fractured, desperate Dark Claw pack Jack had previously dismantled. They were disciplined, technologically savvy, and ruthless. Their leader, a formidable wolf named Kael, was the elder brother of the Alpha Jack had killed to claim his territory. But where his brother had relied on brute force, Kael was a strategist who embraced the modern world. He believed in the synthesis of ancient bloodlust and cutting-edge technology.Their campaign of terror began subtly. A string of "industrial accidents" plagued Sterling-owned factories on the city's outskirts. A cargo shipment vanished from a secure port, only to be found days later, its contents destroyed. Then, the attacks grew bolder. Lone members of the Urban Fangs, Jack's pack, were ambushed, not killed, but brutally beaten and left with a chilling signature: a deep, four-fingered claw mark seared into their flesh with a superheated metal claw.The message was clear: Jack could not prot

The sun was high in the sky when Jack returned to Sterling Tower. He found Catherine in the boardroom, calmly presiding over the legal dismemberment of Titan Consolidated. Preston Vance, his face a mask of disbelief and utter ruin, was being displayed on the main screen via a news feed. He was on his knees on the pavement outside the tower, screaming for Catherine, for a second chance, for mercy, before building security dragged him away like a piece of trash. The man who had been their primary antagonist, the very first real threat to their empire, had been reduced to a pathetic, public spectacle. His end was not dramatic or noble; it was a quiet, humiliating erasure.The news of Kael's death in the Bloody Ring and the complete collapse of the Iron Claw spread through the city's supernatural community like wildfire. Jack's authority was now unquestioned, absolute. He had not just defeated his enemies; he had annihilated them, absorbing their power and territory.That even

The audio message from his father acted like a bucket of ice water, extinguishing the triumphant fire of their recent victories. Jack stood in the command center, the recording playing on a loop, his father's voice a ghostly echo from the past. Do not trust anyone.The words were a poison, seeping into the foundations of the trust he had built. He looked at the faces of his inner circle. Catherine, his queen, the bedrock of his world. Elara, the digital ghost who was his eyes and ears. Ben, his financial wolf. Marcus, his reborn shield. And Finch, the enigmatic butler who had served his parents and knew more than he was telling. His father's warning turned each of them, for a fleeting, paranoid moment, into a potential suspect. This internal doubt was a more insidious threat than any external enemy.He made a decision. "Elara, lock down all research into the 'Lullaby Project,'" he commanded, his voice firm. "Seal the server. No one touches it until we understand the threat
