Chapter 162

Ivy's POV"Shut up." Noah's voice cracked across the courtyard like a whip. "All of you, shut the hell up right now."Nobody shut up."You want us to follow a man who doesn't even know what leading looks like?" The older man at the front didn't flinch, didn't step back, just looked at Noah with the particular exhaustion of someone who had been patient for too long. "Since she left, the pack has been in chaos. Complete chaos. No structure, no direction, nothing.""I said shut—""You made alliances with packs that should never have been touched," another man said from the middle of the group, his voice harder. "Demonic territory, Noah. You dragged us into agreements with people that would have gotten every single one of us killed. For what? For what?""You don't understand the full picture—""We understand enough," a woman near the back said. Her voice was quiet but it carried. "We understand that our pack has been falling apart from the inside and you were too busy chasing your own age

Chapter 163

Dorian's POVStorm Hillcrest sat on the west end of the region like a scar on good land. The mansion was old, wide, deliberately intimidating, built by someone who wanted people to feel small the moment they stepped inside. I had lived here for eleven years and it still worked on me some mornings.But nothing about this room had ever made me feel small the way the man sitting across from me did.The torture room was not called that because of what happened to other people in it. It was called that because of what it felt like to stand in it. Cold stone, no windows, one door, a single light overhead that was never quite bright enough, and him. Always him. Sitting in that chair like a throne he had grown into over several centuries, completely relaxed, completely unhurried, looking at me with the particular patience of something that had never once been afraid of anything.I hated him.I had hated him since I was fifteen years old and he put a pack in my hands and told me I was Alpha no

Chapter 164

Dorian's POVThe wound on my side was deeper than I had let Erden see. That was deliberate. Showing weakness in front of that man was the same as handing him a weapon and asking him to hold it close to your ribs for the rest of your life.Yara worked at the gash with steady hands, threading the needle without flinching, while Nana pressed a clean cloth to the secondary cut above my shoulder and I sat in the armchair in the Storm Hillcrest living room and breathed through my teeth and said nothing.These two women had cost Liam a headache when I pulled them out of his holding pits four months ago. They had been mine since. Grateful, useful, and more importantly, they knew Blue Elite from the inside. Every corridor, every rotation, every gap in the schedule that the guards thought nobody had noticed.

Chapter 165

Liam's POVI couldn't sit down.I had tried twice. Both times I was back on my feet in under thirty seconds, moving, because standing still while a doctor was in that room with her and I was on the outside of the door was not something my body was willing to accept as an option.Maxine was leaning against the wall opposite me watching me pace with her arms crossed and her head tilted like I was mildly entertaining. "You're going to wear a hole in the floor.""Go inside and sit with her.""She told me to leave.""Then stand there quietly.""I don't do quiet." She watched me turn at the end of the corridor and come back. "Liam

Chapter 165

Liam's POVRixon was sitting up in the medical bed looking better than he had any right to look twelve hours after taking a blade for me, which meant he was either actually recovering or performing recovery so I wouldn't sideline him. Knowing him, both."Talk," I said.He shifted, winced, ignored the wince. "This is not pack politics anymore. Whatever is moving against you right now, the vampire attack, what happened to me, the Ring of Fire challenge dropping out of nowhere, none of that is the work of a bitter pack member or a jealous elder with a grudge." He looked at me steadily. "This is coordinated. Someone with real power, real resources, and a long game. They've been patient and they've been building and we've been reacting instead of moving first.""Caius," I said."Caius couldn't coordinate a dinner, let alone three separate attacks across different territories." He shook his head. "Caius wants the treasure house, that's all he's ever wanted. He's greedy and he's loud but he's

Chapter 166

Tulip's POVI found him at the back of the mansion, coat already on, moving like a man who had already decided this place had nothing left to offer him tonight."Erden." My voice came out wrong. Too high, too wet, too much of everything I had spent years learning to control. He didn't stop walking. "Erden, please."He stopped.He turned slowly and looked at me the way he always looked at things he considered beneath his attention but tolerated anyway, patient and cold and already somewhere else in his head. I crossed the courtyard to him and I didn't care that my face was a mess or that my hands were shaking or that I looked like someone who had been crying for an hour because I had been crying for an hour and there was no point pretending otherwise."I failed," I said. "Again. He looked at me like I was nothing. Like I was furniture that someone had put in his room without asking and he was deciding how quickly he could remove it." I pressed the back of my hand to my mouth for a seco

Chapter 167

Ivy's POVI had been asleep for maybe an hour when I felt it.Not a sound. Not movement. Just the particular shift in the air that happens when someone enters a room and tries very hard not to be noticed, and my wolf, even exhausted, even running on nothing, caught it immediately and pulled me halfway out of sleep before I had fully decided to wake up.I opened my eyes.The lamp was still on, low. Liam's side of the bed was empty, which meant he had left at some point after I fell asleep, which meant the phone he had looked at with that expression I wasn't supposed to see had pulled him somewhere. I filed that away and turned my head toward the figure near the door.Sena.I exhaled. "Yo

Chapter 168

Liam's POV The reports would not stop coming. Three children missing from the outer territories before sundown. No trail, no witnesses, no bodies, just gone, like something had moved through the borders in the dark and taken exactly what it needed without making a sound. The outer packs had already started pulling their kids in before dusk. Fathers doubling their patrols without being asked. Mothers not sleeping. I knew what that specific kind of fear looked like when it settled into a pack, knew how fast it went from manageable to something that cracked the foundation of an entire community from the inside out. I set the last report down on the desk and looked at it for a moment. This was not random.

Chapter 169

Liam's POVThe bed was empty and I remembered she wasn’t in her room but a guest room where she was receiving treatment. By the time I walked towards where Ivy was sleeping in her main room, everyone was asleep. My thoughts and vision were foggy.The guard at the east corridor, slumped against the wall with his chin to his chest. The maid who never left her post near the medical wing, folded into her chair like someone had switched her off mid-sentence. The two men I personally stationed at the bottom of the main staircase, both of them breathing slow and deep with their backs against the wall like they had been asleep for hours.Something flickered at the back of my mind. A small wrong note that my wolf tried to grab and couldn't quite reach. I looked at them and the thought that surfaced was, it's late, the shift must have changed, and I kept walking because whatever those candles had put in my lungs had apparently decided it was running my reasoning tonight and my reasoning wasn't

Chapter 170

Liam's POVI looked at my wrist and watched her begin to unbuckle my belt.The curtain tie was looped around it, cinched against the headboard post, and the fog from whatever those candles had put in my lungs was still sitting heavy in my chest like wet concrete, slowing everything down, making my Lycan feel like he was pushing against a wall that kept rebuilding itself every time he got close to breaking through.But I was not unconscious.And I was not hers."Tulip." My voice came out low and final. "Get off me."She didn't, instead she climbed onto the bed and straddled me, grabbed my free wrist before I could pull it back and I felt the second tie close around it. She was crying and shaking and looking down at me with something in her face that was past desperation, past strategy, past every version of herself I had ever seen. This was the stripped-down centre of it. A woman who had decided tonight was the night she stopped caring about consequences."I need you," she said, and h
