All Chapters of His Human Mate, His Greatest Threat: Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

AVAThe passage was narrow, filthy and dark enough to make an ordinary person turn around, but I wasn't ordinary anymore, and whoever had taken my daughter had made a serious mistake by leaving a trace of her behind.I held the little piece of blanket against my nose, drawing in the faint scent until my wolf caught it beneath the smell of rust, damp stone and old chemicals. Aurora's scent was delicate, mixed with the familiar smell of her baby lotion, and although it was fading, I could still follow it.My heart was beating so hard that I could feel it in my throat.I moved deeper into the passage, keeping one hand against the wall while my claws scraped across the stone. Every little sound seemed louder than it should have been, from water dripping somewhere beneath the floor to the distant movement of people above me. I could hear my own breathing, the faint shifting of my clothes, and something else that made my wolf lift her head.A vehicle.It was far away, beyond the building, b

DAMIENI heard Ava before I reached the room.Her voice carried through the corridor, furious and shaking, and beneath it I could hear the growling of injured wolves and the unmistakable sound of Cassian laughing. My wolf surged so violently that my hands began changing before I reached the doorway, claws extending as I pushed past the last guard.Then I saw her.Ava stood between Cassian and our daughter, her clothes stained with blood, one arm hanging awkwardly at her side and her face marked by a fresh injury. Several wolves lay scattered across the floor, some struggling to move, while others appeared unconscious. She had fought her way through them, and the sight of her standing there, injured but refusing to move away from Aurora, filled me with a rage I could barely contain.Our daughter was on the table behind her.Aurora was crying.I had imagined finding her in a hundred different ways during the journey to the estate, but nothing had prepared me for seeing her frightened li

DAMIEN Cassian had escaped through a hidden tunnel beneath the abandoned estate, and every instinct inside me demanded that I tear the place apart until I found where the bastard had gone. My claws were still extended when Garrick reached the entrance to the passage, his shirt soaked with blood from a wound across his ribs. Two guards followed him, already shifting, their bodies changing beneath torn clothing as they prepared to pursue whoever might still be hiding underground. “Seal every exit around this estate, and send the tracking teams through the surrounding woods,” I ordered, staring into the darkness beneath the floor. “I want every vehicle stopped, every road watched, and every wolf who crosses our borders questioned before he gets another step closer to escaping.” Garrick moved immediately, but Ava's voice cut through the noise before he could disappear into the corridor. “Damien, we need to get Aurora out of here before you start another hunt.” I turned towards her, a

DAMIENIsolde's words settled over the study, and I watched Ava's fingers tighten around the edge of the desk while the woman who had once known nearly every weakness I possessed stood opposite us, looking considerably less pleased with herself than she had when she walked through the door.“Elias Vane,” Isolde said. “The man who chairs your precious Elder Council has been supporting Cassian, financing his operations, and feeding information to the packs he wanted weakened.”Garrick moved closer to the desk, his expression changing as he studied her face. “You are accusing the head of the Council of funding attacks against several packs, including the kidnapping of the Alpha's daughter, and you expect us to accept that without evidence?”Isolde opened the leather bag hanging from her shoulder and removed a small collection of documents, placing them carefully beside the payment records we had already recovered. She had account references, copies of private correspondence, and records

DAMIENThe red markers continued spreading across the territorial map, and every new report brought another problem that needed attention before the situation became impossible to contain. Armed groups were gathering along the western roads, two neighbouring packs had withdrawn their border patrols, and the northern settlements were reporting strangers moving through the forests in numbers too large to dismiss as ordinary territorial disputes.I stood in the war room with Garrick, Elena, and the commanders responsible for Blackridge's external territories, listening while they argued over which borders could be defended and which settlements needed evacuation. Nobody was suggesting surrender, but several commanders were already calculating how many people they could afford to lose if Elias decided to turn his declaration into an actual war.“Move the families away from the northern settlements, reinforce the western road, and make certain our medical teams have access to every evacuat
