"What do you mean you’re leaving the pack, Louis?" I called out softly, trailing behind him as we left my brother's room behind. "Why would an Alpha leave his pack at a time like this?" A small scoff escaped his lips. "My parents are here, and so are you. What, can the Luna not run a pack without a man by her side?" He stopped dead in his tracks, turning around to face me with a raised eyebrow. "I’m not leaving to go fool around, Tracy. Leaving is a part of the plan your brother and I came up with." "A plan you refused to fill me in on," I mumbled under my breath. He exhaled heavily. "Telling you would ruin the execution, so just... handle things here while I’m gone. Officially, I’ll be heading to an Alpha summit to discuss the recent attacks. That’s the schedule I’ll announce to the pack." He turned on his heel and resumed down the field . "The entire pack will be under your control for a day or two, Tracy. I suggest you adopt that same sharp attitude you use with your brother w

I took a seat on the wooden bench directly facing the center of the field, setting Lena on my lap as we watched her mother get into position. More pack women had joined the crowd now, and the murmurs rippling through the spectators were off the charts. Every single eye was fixed on the field, waiting to see how this turned out. I knew staking this much on the word of a little girl and a woman I had only just met was a risk, but as long as I proved my point, nothing else mattered. "You may begin!" the trainer called out, his voice booming as he stepped between Denise and the male warrior chosen to fight her. He quickly explained standard sparring rules, and the moment he finished, his reluctant gaze flicked toward me. He offered a tight bow before jogging off to the side. "Let’s see just how strong your mother really is, Lena," I murmured softly, patting her hair. She grinned up at me, nodding sharply. The moment the two fighters approached each other, the entire training field fe

LOUIS'S POV Watching those fake rogues storm the pack exactly as I predicted brought a dark smile to my face. I had been camped out just a few hundred yards outside our borders ever since I officially announced my departure for the fake summit Mark and I concocted. I hadn't left the pack house in the best mood after my encounter with Tracy, but seeing our trap spring so flawlessly was enough to put me in a remarkably good mood. We hadn't even been in our hidden post long before Mark started complaining. I had explicitly ordered him to stay put in his recovery room until this entire operation was over, but trust him to come staggering through our door not even ten minutes after we set up camp. His plan was straightforward, yet proving to be terrifyingly effective: since we knew nothing about these recurring attackers or who was pulling their strings, we decided to bait them straight into the heart of the pack. It was a move designed to kill two birds with one stone. We knew beyond

"His mate won’t live for long," Lora’s voice rang out with chilling clarity inside my head as I remained slumped on the floor. "If that patient really is his true mate, then you still have a chance with him, Tracy. She’s sickly—she'll probably die sooner or later, so just—" ‘Is that what you think is fucking important right now, Lora?!’ I snapped back internally, my hands dropping from my chest as a wave of pure rage surged through me. ‘And what the hell do you mean, "a chance"? I never said I wanted Louis! Now I am even more certain that I want absolutely nothing to do with a monster like him!’ I drew a sharp, furious breath. ‘Sick or not, he asked me to play this entire Luna ruse with his true mate lying unconscious right there in the medical wing! He kissed me knowing full well that she is still breathing! How little respect does he have for the sacred mate bond?! If she does survive, how am I supposed to look her in the eye when she recovers?’ "You’re this hurt because you fee

I had no idea what Louis was thinking, but whatever game he was playing, I wanted no part in it. He had literally just told me hours ago that he had true mate and now he was kissing me as if I actually meant something to him. I shoved against his chest with everything I had, but he didn't budge an inch, acting like he had some point to prove. I hated him even more when he smirked against my mouth—he knew I hated him, yet he still thought it was acceptable to play with me like this. I went completely rigid throughout the rest of the kiss. It wasn't hard to stop responding this time, because the cold disdain burning in my chest wasn't just mindless rage—it was clarity. My nightmare had opened my eyes to what truly mattered: finding those bastards from the Craken cult and eliminating them before they could do the same to me. After another long, suffocating moment, I braced my palms against his ribs to shove him off again, when the door suddenly burst open. "Alpha!" my brother’s vo
