All Chapters of Divorced and mated to the Lycan Twins: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

NORASunlight finally broke through the gray clouds, reflecting harshly off the fresh snow.Staring out the shattered nursery window, the morning offered absolutely no comfort. The blizzard had finally died. The wind stopped howling, leaving a suffocating, dead silence over the Blackcrest courtyard.Rubbing my freezing arms, I didn't turn around when the heavy door opened."Any word?" I asked quietly, my voice raspy from crying hours ago."Nothing yet," Kai answered.His boots scuffed softly against the rug. Stepping up behind me, he wrapped a thick wool blanket over my shoulders. He didn't sleep. His golden eyes were completely bloodshot, and his jaw was covered in dark stubble."Gideon is pulling the search teams back to the staging area," Kai continued, keeping his voice low so he wouldn't wake Hayes. "They need to rotate. The men are getting frostbite.""They can't stop looking, Kai.""They aren't stopping," turning me around gently to face him. "We are sending fresh patrols out.

THIRD PERSON’s POV He went out on a mission that night.Gripping the steering wheel, Halil navigated the treacherous, washed-out dirt road leading directly into Rust Valley.This pack was completely neutral. It sat right on the edge of the southern border, functioning as a filthy haven for smugglers, rogues, and black-market dealers. Nobody asked questions here. Nobody cared about royal titles.Parking the heavy vehicle behind a dilapidated tavern, Halil killed the engine.Stepping out into the freezing mud, he pulled the collar of his dark coat up to shield his face. Water dripped steadily from the rusted gutters. Walking past two massive, heavily scarred bouncers guarding the tavern's back door, he didn't even slow down. His lethal, predatory aura forced the men to step completely out of his path.Heading straight for a narrow alleyway behind the bar, Halil found a heavily reinforced steel door. It had absolutely no handle. A small camera with a red blinking light sat mounted high

THIRD PERSON’s POV Vibrations rattled the burner phone against the smooth oak table.Everyone in the war room completely froze. Kai stared at the black plastic device. Halil gripped the edge of the communications console. Standing near the blazing fireplace, Nora stopped breathing entirely.Kai snatched the phone and hit the speaker button. "I want to hear him.""You don't get to make demands, Alpha," the distorted, mechanical voice crackled through the speaker. "Listen very closely. We have a new proposition.""A proposition?" Kai sneered. "Name your price.""We don't want your treasury," the voice replied smoothly. "We want the Queen. We are offering a straight trade. Nora for the boy."Total silence filled the massive room.Kai’s jaw locked. "What did you just say?""Bring her to the designated drop point. She walks to us, the boy walks to you. If she refuses, we execute him. If you try to ambush the exchange, we execute him.""You are dead," Halil said softly. He stepped closer t

THIRD PERSON’s POV "This is a catastrophic mistake." General Gideon slammed his thick hand flat against the tactical map."We already made the decision." Kai did not look up from the blueprints of the lumber mill."Alpha, please listen to reason." Gideon pointed a finger at the red circle on the paper. "You are trading the Queen for the heir. We do not negotiate with rogue mercenaries. It sets a dangerous precedent. It makes the crown look weak.""I do not care about the crown." Nora stood at the opposite end of the table. "I care about my son.""You will not survive this exchange, Queen Nora." Gideon turned his attention directly to her. "These men took a child from a fortified castle. They are professionals. They will not just hand the boy over and let you walk inside to chat. They will put a bullet in your head the second they have you secure.""Then you breach the building before they pull the trigger," Nora replied."It is not that simple." Gideon sighed heavily. "This old mill

Inside the central war room, the atmosphere was completely suffocating. Tactical monitors were glowing in the dim light. General Gideon stood near the main oak table. He pushed a thick stack of printed surveillance reports across the wood.Halil was reviewing the documents. His dark eyes darted rapidly across the pages. Kai sat in the corner of the room. He was sharpening a heavy combat knife with brutal, rhythmic scrapes against a whetstone."The Blackwood Asylum lead was a complete dead end," Gideon stated. His voice sounded exhausted. "While our strike team was breaching the lower levels of the asylum, capital guards ambushed them. It was a massive setup. Liam played us perfectly.""Liam is lying in a hospital bed with a broken neck," Halil said. He dropped the papers onto the table. "He did not orchestrate the ground extraction by himself. He does not have the manpower in the northern territories anymore. He needed a partner."Kai stopped sharpening his knife. He looked up. "Who h
