All Chapters of Marked by fate: Chapter 251 - Chapter 260

Levi's POVThe five of us stand in the gloomy hallway of the castle. We arrived about twenty minutes ago, were shown our barracks in the old stables, given some clothes, and now we’re waiting for orders.I feel like shit. They made us run in. There are no roads and no vehicles out here, so we had to travel in wolf form for three days. Even now, I don’t know if I’m in the right place.For four months I’ve been searching. Four months.After Mike and the others abandoned the cabin and left me there alone, I started hunting for answers. I knew what he’d done. I’d heard the rumours about girls being taken, but even we didn’t know the extent of it, and we never knew where they were being brought.I managed to make contact with one of my old buddies from the pack, who was working in one of the other rogue communities, and I went to him as soon as I could. I think Mike drugged me. Whatever it was, it made me feel awful for days, and Luther was blocked for about a week.But I made it to Bennet

Levi's POVThe stench in the dungeon is even worse than it was in the barns, probably because of the cold and damp, or maybe just because there are more of them in here. I can’t get over the sheer size of this operation. They must have been taking girls for months. There have to be well over a hundred prisoners here.The stairs down are slippery and I nearly slide down the last two steps, but Oric catches my shoulder from behind and steadies me. I shoot him a quick grin of thanks over my shoulder. For some reason, I’m unwilling to speak down here in the gloom.Once Luther helps me adjust my night vision, I scan the space properly. The dungeon is split into six cells, three down each wall, with a wide central aisle. It’s dark and cold, and I can hear the steady drip of water from somewhere, slow and relentless.Under the stench of dirty bodies and human waste is something worse, the sharp bite of fear and misery that clings to the air. There’s also the scent of clean straw. When I look

Samuel's POVOnce we’re finished with the breakfast rounds, Caleb and I head back to Baldwin’s office to meet up with the others. Then I follow Chase and Levi to start bringing up the girls from the dungeons for cleaning.It’s horrendous. I hate watching them hose them down like animals, and then scrub their already sore skin until it’s raw. Even if they look more human afterwards, there has to be a better way to do this.When we enter the first cell, Levi and I hang back as Chase heads in and starts unlocking the first girl. I’m taking in the security in here, the chains, the single door, the small camera angled at the door and up the stairs, but then I feel Levi stiffen beside me. A fresh wave of fear permeates the air. I glance over and, fuck, Chase has his hand up under the rags of the poor girl he’s clutching.I freeze, disgust nearly overwhelming me before anger takes over. My hands curl into fists at my sides.'Careful,' Onyx warns me.I can’t storm in here and rip his arm off

Samuel's POVAs I’m linking, movement at the top table catches my eye. A tall woman with dark, curly hair steps forward and settles neatly into Cole Larkin’s lap as if she belongs there. He dips his head to her ear, nuzzling her neck.Who the fuck is this?Caleb leans back and answers before I can ask. “That’s Catalina Nightcroft. She’s the witch who’s helping us.”The witch.I take another look, and the pieces shift. She must be powerful if she can cloak a stretch of land this large and block Task Force tracking. Cole’s attention stays on her, and for the first time tonight I’m grateful for the distraction. The less he’s looking outward, the better.Then the Alpha stands, and the hall quiets like someone’s pulled a cord.“As you all know, I have been searching for my Luna,” he says. “Tonight, I’m going to get the first proper look at the candidates, and I thought you would all enjoy it too. My Luna needs to be beautiful, strong, and capable, if she’s going to bear me the best pups.”

Lincoln's POVI stare at the gates to Shadow Pack. They're hanging broken and unguarded. What the fuck? Where are the patrols?We left the trucks a couple of miles down the road and decided to walk in. Mark messaged last night and insisted we come. Apparently, everything's gone to shit.I called the council this morning and checked, and we're good to go. They've got all the evidence they need and the formal challenge notification.My heart pounds in my ears as my adrenaline surges. I feel Sam beside me, the other two on his other side."You ready?" Sam asks quietly, and I nod.I still don't know if I want this, but the pack needs it.Mark said there was a mass walkout five days ago. A hundred members left the pack after a protest that my father had his warriors move in on with force, killing twenty wolves, including children.The majority of those who left were the omegas, leaving only warriors and their families behind. Apparently, they're not happy about having to cook and clean eve
