I hadn’t fought it when those strange guards came to pull me away from Louis’s mother. What annoyed me far more was that they dragged me off before I could get anything substantial out of her. I was much more curious about his Lycan lineage than whatever Lesley and his guards wanted with me regarding that absurd accusation.Louis’s mother had tried to protest, but I simply shook my head at her. "I’ll be fine, Mom," I had said with a small, reassuring smile. "Louis will be here in no time to sort this out."I knew every single word was true. He might not care for me much, but I knew he would do whatever it took to protect me—if only because keeping me safe was the only way to keep his own position secure. With that thought, I let them lead me outside the pack house.The courtyard was buzzing with chatter, and I could barely make sense of the overlapping voices. But from the fragments I caught, the division within the pack was clear. More than half the pack didn't believe I was capable

Louis’s POV I walked back into that room with absolute zero expectations. Given the desperate state Tracy was in when I left, I didn’t even expect to step foot back in here until the following morning. Yet here I was, standing outside the bedroom door once again. When Mark met me downstairs and claimed I was free to go see her, I had raised an eyebrow at him in silent disbelief. He merely sighed, muttering that she needed me far more than she would ever admit. I had no idea how he arrived at that absurd conclusion, but I personally knew it was complete bullshit. She hated my guts, so what purpose would my presence serve other than making whatever psychological spiral she was suffering through ten times worse? Regardless, I turned the knob and stepped back into the room. Her eyes snapped to mine the second I walked in. I scanned her face for a second and she looked significantly better. The color had returned to her cheeks, and her breathing was even. "You seem to be back to y

I didn’t even know how I was walking—all I knew was that my feet were carrying me as fast as they could just so I could get there on time. Get to them on time. I tried to reach Mark through our link again, but I couldn’t get ahold of him, making my anxiety start to eat away at me even more.I sprinted across the pack field, completely ignoring how the pack members stared at me as I made my way toward the path that led to the medical wing. My breathing was heavy now, fueled by the sheer panic of what that corpse meant. If I was right—and I was almost certain I was—that body… that single body could kill every person in its proximity.I didn’t have to run much farther before I caught sight of the group standing in the middle of the path. The stretcher with the body was placed on the ground, while everyone stood surrounding it at a safe distance.When I finally reached them, Louis was the first person I saw. He stood at the very end, his dark eyes narrowing as he watched me struggle to ca

My eyes didn’t stray from my brother for even a second as I injected the secondary poison into his arm. I knew that any slight distraction, any single mistake, would cost me his life—and I could never live with that guilt. So even with the tense crowd packed into the room in front of me, I tuned out everything except Mark. Even as his agonizing screams filled the space, I kept my hands completely steady, only pulling out the syringe after I was certain the exact dosage had been administered. His sharp gasps filled the room as his body began convulsing violently against the mattress. "We need someone to hold him down!" I called sharply, turning toward the guards who stood hesitating beside Lesley. "You heard your Luna!" Louis barked, his voice laced with absolute command. "She needs someone to hold him down, so get to work." "But Alpha..." one of the guards spoke cautiously. "You previously commanded us not to touch—" "Well, I’m taking the damn command back, so hold down my Beta!

"I don’t think that was the best way to handle it, Louis," I called out as he led me toward the medical wing. "The pack is probably even more suspicious now."He let out a loud, frustrated groan. "Would you rather I had sunk my fangs into your neck and marked you as mine right there on the spot?" he shot back sharply.I let out a low breath, keeping my mouth shut. He really didn't have to be so prickly about it."With how quiet you're being, I guess you have your answer now, Tracy," he added after a beat, finally coming to a halt outside the doors of the medical wing.He turned around to face me, gesturing to our protective gear. "How do we get this stuff off without contaminating ourselves?"I raised a surprised eyebrow at him."I might not be a doctor, and I certainly don't know shit about chemical toxins, but I have common sense," he said, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked at me. "What’s the proper way to take it off? I need it off so I can go find that puny ex-mate of yours
