A sigh escaped me from morning weariness before I got into my flip flops and followed behind him.I made certain to keep enough distance between us. This part of the fortress was one I hadn't been to before.Kai and I had slept together last night, following the promise we'd made—to say nothing—and though it was awkward at first, it gave us both a measure of comfort.Focusing back on my target, I followed him up the staircase that led to a less ventilated corridor, eventually reaching a room where he stopped and walked inside.Hesitation stopped me for a moment.

Chapter 102Kai's POV"How much did you hear?" I muttered as I stepped out.Mrs. Locke tilted her head, watching me with weary but warm eyes.My heart was heavy, but I concealed it behind a deadpan expression as we drew closer. Comfort, however, waltzed into my bones upon seeing her. I hadn't seen Mrs. Locke in ages, and it was strangely reassuring to know she had grown older... still here, still standing."Not enough to fully grasp what was happening," she replied with her usual gripping warmth that melted the heart. "But..." Her fingers snapped up between us. "I know your wife loves you greatly. Alex is a blessing any Alpha could ask for.""How would you know?" My voice came out thick and guttural, almost bouncing off the confined walls.I was a little over six when I last stepped between these walls, and I didn't remember them being this cramped.A few scenes drifted through my mind. That had been a traumatic time for me, but I had been saved by the Lockes."I've had the grace to s
Chapter 101My journey back home was laced with a labyrinth of harsh thoughts. They spiralled through my mind, bombarding me so relentlessly that they became more of a headache.Leo was changing, and this new personality scared me.It was certain he had nothing more to lose, so whatever could he do now?I thrust forward as the car engine chortled to a stop. My lashes battled, casting the view of the fortress before me."Thank you," I said to the taxi driver before climbing out.Shutting the door behind me, I caught his gracious smile. The good man hadn't collected a fee, and I was grateful because I hadn't had one to give to begin with."It's not every day I carry a Luna. The gods must have blessed me today," he had mentioned earlier.To use teleportation was to drain myself, and to channel a portal yielded no less of the same result, so it was better to opt for a drive. The only con was the sluggishness that came with it.Inside the towering walls of the fortress, I headed towards my
Chapter 100Leo stood before the cabin, hands buried in his pockets, and it made me think he was more audacious than I had imagined. The lamp hung beneath the roof glinted off his hair, casting shadows across his face in a way that seemed to harden his resolve.He waited for me to approach.“You found your way here.”“I can teleport,” I responded curtly.He rolled his eyes and snapped his fingers. “Oh, right. I forgot.”I wrapped my hand over my chest. “How do you know so much about my powers?”The question had lingered in my mind all the way here.He tsked and turned toward the entrance. “You forget I spent time with your ex,” he said, then glanced at me when I scowled. “Oh, believe me, I certainly didn’t sleep with him. He’s such bad taste, and I'm not some cheap Omega. I didn’t even look at him that way at all.”I swallowed a lump that left me feeling strangled. The intent behind his words was obvious, and it stung more because I had still come to his abode.“Let’s get this finishe
Chapter 99KAI’S POVThe young night bore witness to a chitchat between my wolf and I, more like a confrontation rooted in our differences.“Frederick is a nuisance. You made us trust him. He’s a narcissist. He cares nothing for our achievements, even if it is for the good of all,” I snapped at the aura of my wolf before me.My body remained in contact with the earth. The wetness of the grass from the earlier downpour and the subtle scent that followed the rain lingered in my senses.“This is no time to hesitate. Information to Nathan must be with one of his men. This is the best approach,” my wolf snarled.“Or we could have simply involved Alex in our plans and had him help us. We both saw his ability. He is ten thousand soldiers in one body.”“Surely, turning our mate into a weapon would be befitting,” my wolf mocked.It came out nonsensical. The beast lacked humor. He was created for war, blood, undying loyalty, but definitely not humor.“That’s not what I meant,” I shrugged, steer
Chapter 77Four days later.This morning, I fainted.The morning had started well. Kai and I were revisiting our plans for the night, and then the darkness came, Kai's voice growing distant even as he called my name repeatedly.Now, I woke up to a bright light that made me shut my eyes the moment t
Chapter 76It was quite nice to have some silence after all, and even more welcoming to have Kai start the conversation. It was obvious everyone wished to forget the matter."My investigation into the stolen armories led me to another neighboring Pack, apparently. I'll send the reports to you, Claw
Chapter 74My arrival in MoonBlade was met with restraint. Guards were stationed at every crook and crevice of the Pack's outposts, watching and obstructing whatever entered or left their territory. Four vehicles followed behind Clawface and me, while I occupied the passenger seat.The moment my bo
Chapter 70"Bring them out." My voice rose above the wind. Though the sun blazed overhead, the weather itself felt strangely unsettling.Clawface blinked at me, his steps hesitant until he was certain I meant the order. Then he and a few of the men departed to carry it out.The uproar had become su
