All Chapters of Billionaire Alpha's Plus-Size Mate : Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Hayes's POV The moment we arrived at Nile Hills, the atmosphere changed.The air felt heavier here, carrying an unfamiliar energy that prickled against my skin. A strange stillness hung over the village, and even the wind seemed reluctant to disturb it. Tall trees surrounded the area, their thick branches spreading over narrow paths that disappeared between old huts and weathered stone buildings. Strange plants grew along the edges of the paths, some bearing flowers I had never seen anywhere else. Farther ahead, smoke curled from chimneys, but there was no sign of the busy activity I would have expected from a village this large.Everything felt watchful, as though the place itself held secrets it had no intention of revealing.The hairs on my skin rose.My eyes turned red with rage as the memories came rushing back, dragging me into a past I had spent years trying to bury.I had tried to fight it, but my mind had already returned to the day a mage I had attempted to help deceived me

Hayes's POV I struck the barrier once more, but it refused to break. The frustration building inside me was becoming unbearable. If someone was trapped in there, every second we wasted could mean another moment of suffering for them. “Only someone with Flowermoon abilities can open this door, Alpha,” Lola said quietly. My hands clenched. “Lillian,” Adrian murmured. I didn't need him to explain. “Yes,” I replied, my voice falling. “But she isn't here.” For a moment, I stared at the sealed hut, hating the fact that the one person who could help us was missing. I had spent so long trying to find Lillian, and now we had stumbled upon something that might be connected to her powers, her bloodline, and the answers we needed. Yet I couldn't do a damn thing about it. “We need to leave,” I said at last. The others looked at me, but no one argued. We gathered together, holding on to one another, and I focused on taking us back to the pack. A moment later, the village disappeared. On

Hayes's POV They rushed back into the interrogation room as though they had never left. Their eyes were downcast, and none of them seemed willing to meet my gaze as I looked at them. "That bitch is bringing herself here," I said coldly. Lola folded her arms. "She isn't as smart as we thought." "She underestimated us," Alex added. "She could come here in another form, or she could be hiding somewhere we don't know about," I said. "Either way, we can't afford to let our guard down." Adam glanced at the raven chained to the wall. "There must be a way we can use that thing to catch her." "That's exactly what we're going to do." I turned to the sorcerer. "Put a binding spell on the raven. Something that will weaken her connection to it the moment it gets close to her." The sorcerer nodded. "I can coat its feathers with enchanted silver ash. Once the raven comes within a certain distance of her, the ash will react to her magic and release an energy that temporarily suppresses her

Hayes's POV I watched without sympathy. "Unless you want me to disfigure that ugly face of yours in the most excruciating way possible, you're going to answer my questions." Her face had turned red, and the skin beneath the powder looked unusually soft. I could see her struggling to keep her expression steady, refusing to give me the satisfaction of seeing her react to the pain. My claws slid out, their tips glowing red. For the first time since I'd entered the room, genuine fear flickered across her face. I brought one claw close to her cheek, stopping just short of touching her skin. "Answer my question." She swallowed, her jaw tightening as she fought to keep herself from wincing. "Vivian," she spat angrily. "My real name is Vivian.” "Vivian." I repeated the name, staring at her face. So that was who she really was. Not Isabella Morris, the woman who had wormed her way into our world and earned everyone's trust, but Vivian, a mage who had spent years hiding behind anoth

Hayes's Pov I tightened my grip. "You're weak without your powers. You can't protect yourself from what I'll do to you, and I don't need to explain the lengths I'll go to until you finally tell me the truth." She winced, her eyes filling with fear. "The Silver Luna was never killed," she finally blurted out. "The woman you thought was her was someone else. My father made sure another woman took her place, using her appearance so everyone would believe the execution had been carried out." Adrian exchanged a stunned glance with Alex. Vivian continued, breathing hard. "We needed the Silver Luna's true Eclipse blood, along with Lillian's and Jake's blood, to create a new species of wolves. Indestructible wolves who would be powerful enough to take over this entire kingdom." My eyes widened as the implications hit me. The Silver Luna was still alive. And if Lillian carried Eclipse blood, while the Silver Luna was the source of that bloodline, then... Was the Silver Luna Lillian's
