Chapter 221 / Leo

For the next couple of days, Lyanna spent every moment, night and day, right beside Gabriella. She couldn't pull herself away. She brought her food and drinks, extra pillows, and blankets. Gabriella kept trying to tell her she was fine, but Lyanna wouldn't hear any of it. It was like a mother tending to a sick child. The roles had been turned around.Lyanna's parents were also a constant presence at Gabriella's side. It seemed like they were doing their best to put aside all the lies Gabriella had told in the past. They helped prepare food for the recovering woman and even went into town for a few things Lyanna said Gabriella needed. They were among the only people in the pack lands who could venture into town. Anti-shifter feelings had completely taken over Clearidge, and they were not welcomed in any stores or businesses.I was sure Lyanna's parents had a lot they wanted to talk about with both her and Gabriella. It was good that they were keeping that on the back burner, though. Ga

Chapter 222 / Leo

She sighed and sipped at her drink. "It was bad. I don't think I've ever seen someone so furious in my life. Viola shed that perfect little polished exterior she maintains. She was raging around the facility, screaming at me, her staff, and herself. It was honestly a little frightening. She was yelling that she hoped Edemas was burning in hell where he belonged."This was not only after you all escaped but after she checked the camera footage and saw that there was no vial in the vault. She saw you pull out the scroll, but that was all. That set her off like nothing else. Knowing that Edemas had tricked them for centuries. I thought she was going to have a stroke, but we weren't that lucky.""What happened afterward?" I asked. "After she calmed down."Gabriella nodded. "It took some time, but she eventually got her team to extract Lyanna's blood from the mechanism in the vault. She'd planned to use Edemas's blood to do something, but without it, she and her scientists decided Lyanna's

Chapter 223 / Lyanna

When Leo returned home, he was clearly in a terrible mood. I noticed it the moment he stepped inside. “What happened?”He let out an irritated breath and replied, “Some people from town showed up with a deputy and tried to tell us we had to leave. They’re trying to pressure us into turning ourselves in.”“Are you serious?” My eyes widened in disbelief. I had expected some trouble, but not a whole group showing up at our gates.“Yeah. I sent them away, but they’ll come back. They want us gone, so they’ll keep trying to intimidate us.”“Well, they won’t be able to do more than run their mouths at you,” Sinthy said.“What?” Leo frowned, confused.“They can’t physically get past the ward you had me set up. Only your pack members and invited guests can come through. Those assholes are stuck outside unless I remove it.”Leo let out a laugh. “Right, I forgot about that. Probably for the best. If I’d remembered, I might’ve been an even bigger dick to them than I already was.”“Is everything o

Chapter 224 / Lyanna

He let out a small laugh. “Not that kind of thinking. I’ve been thinking more about kids.”His words made my body stiff. “I don’t even know if that’s something we can have now.” With everything happening, there was no certainty we wouldn’t end up locked away by the government before the week was over. How could we even consider having kids?Leo slipped a finger under my chin and lifted my face so I was looking at him. “Don’t think like that. Everything’s going to work out. We can have a family. When all of this is over, I’ll give you all the babies you want.”I stayed quiet for a few moments as countless thoughts flooded my mind. Was he serious? Did he truly want that with me? Was I ready to be a mother? If we made it through all of this, would I even be a good one? Then the most important question surfaced. “Do you really think we can defeat Viola?”Leo sighed softly. “We don’t have another option. It’s not just about us, millions of people want this to end. Once we expose everything

Chapter 225 / Leo

The townspeople didn’t stay away for long. I sat there, watching the camera feed from the gate as more cars pulled over along the roadside every minute. There had to be nearly a hundred people gathered outside by now. There was no sound from the camera, but I could clearly see their mouths moving as they shouted and hurled insults at the guards, most likely telling us to leave or get out.I had even called the sheriff’s department to report them. I reminded them that the Ashfang pack was one of their biggest contributors to the department’s annual fundraiser. All I got in return was a bored promise that they’d “look into it.” Frustrated, I tossed my phone onto the bed.Ever since I spoke with Donatello, I’d been checking the news constantly, waiting for the big reveal he said was coming. So far, more celebrities had spoken out in support of the shifter cause, along with a few politicians. It was surprising, but not what I had been hoping for. I wanted something explosive, something th

Chapter 226 / Leo

“Turn on the news at six.”I hadn’t even finished reading the message when Mira walked into the room. She’d mostly kept to herself the past few days, avoiding everything going on. She barely acknowledged me, her attention fixed entirely on Valerian. “Can I talk to you?” she asked.I stood and looked at my friend, giving him a firm stare. “Valerian? Remember what I said.”He nodded. “I remember. That’s why I’ve been keeping my distance.”Mira’s cheeks flushed as we spoke about her right in front of her. “Seriously, it’ll just take a minute. In private?”That was enough. I’d had it. We’d been handling Mira gently ever since we got her back, but I wasn’t about to let her cause problems within my family. Rowan and Valerian might not be blood, but they were still family to me. It was time to stop holding back. “Mira? I know you’ve been through a lot. But if you think you’re going to turn my best friends against each other over some grudge, then you can pack your things and leave. Do you un

Chapter 227 / Lyanna

As soon as the guys left, I grabbed Mira and pulled her out to the back porch. I didn’t want us getting interrupted if they came back too soon. The moment the door shut, I went off on her. “What the hell just happened? I told you this kind of stuff was going to mess things up between Valerian and Rowan.”Mira looked like she was about to cry. “I wasn’t playing games, Lyanna. I’m serious. All I wanted was to apologize to Valerian for everything and ask what he thought I could do to fix things with Rowan.”I pointed back toward the house. “That didn’t look like someone apologizing.”Mira let out a defeated sigh, her arms dropping to her sides. “It was just the worst timing possible. Rowan came in right after Valerian and I finished talking, and we were coming down the stairs together.”“The stairs? Where is your room?”Her face flushed red. “Shit. We were in Leo’s office, but yeah… I guess that makes it look even worse.”“You think? Rowan probably thought Valerian had just finished rail

Chapter 228 / Leo

By the time we stepped inside the house, the living room was already crowded. Valerian must have invited everyone over to watch the news. Mom and Dad were seated together on the loveseat, while my brothers were sprawled across the couch. Atlas stood just behind it, his expression tense. Mira and Lyanna’s parents sat at the kitchen table, silently focused on the TV. Gabriella was cross-legged on the rug in front of the couch beside Sinthy. If everything in the world wasn’t such a mess, it would’ve felt like we’d all gathered for something like Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.The channel Valerian had tuned to was playing a commercial at the moment. As soon as Lyanna and I walked in, Mateo and Orion stood up and offered us their spots on the couch. We had barely gotten comfortable when the theme music for the nightly news blasted through the speakers.A middle-aged female reporter appeared on screen and greeted the viewers. “Good evening. I’m Rochelle Carmichael, and this is World News

Chapter 229 / Leo

Donatello adjusted his suit and looked back at her. “Because I’m fed up with watching Viola Monroe act like she’s beyond consequences just because of her wealth and influence. It disgusts me that she’s used bribes and intimidation to turn her family business into a kind of shadow government. More than anything, I couldn’t keep watching what she was doing to people I care about. As a shifter myself, I couldn’t stay silent any longer.”A heavy silence filled the room. I snapped my head toward Valerian so quickly my neck cracked. He was already standing, staring at the TV with a deep frown, his mouth slightly open in pure confusion.“Donatello’s a shifter?” I asked.Valerian shook his head, still focused on the screen. “I… had no idea.” Then he finally looked at me. “He doesn’t smell like a shifter. What the fuck, Leo?”“You knew him before I did,” I replied. “But yeah, you’re right. He never had the scent. As far as I could tell, he was human.”The news segment had already ended, but Ma

Chapter 230 / Lyanna

The news coverage that followed was chaotic, to put it mildly. We all stayed up late in the night, watching everything unfold. The same media outlets that had been ready to condemn all shifters were now backtracking so quickly that I couldn’t help but laugh. Online forums were apparently exploding with people openly supporting us, and the few voices still insisting we should be locked away were quickly drowned out.One major question kept appearing everywhere, on blogs, news broadcasts, and articles alike: where was Viola Monroe? The next day, Atlas checked the stock market and saw that shares for The Monroe Group and all its known subsidiaries were plummeting. No one wanted any connection to the foundation anymore. There were even reports that countries like South Korea and Australia were canceling massive, multi-billion-dollar national medical contracts they had signed with Viola’s company. This was far beyond anything we could’ve achieved on our own. She was losing money at an incr
