Killa wanted to run, but three sides were fire. Even if he shifted into wolf form, he couldn’t break through.
He thought of throwing himself forward, fighting his way past Barry and into the water to escape. But behind Barry, a wall of beta werewolves appeared–exactly as they had promised. They had spent the whole night for this one moment, trapping him like a turtle in a jar.
Killa clenched his teeth and shouted, “Where’s alpha Henry? Tell him to come out and face me!”
His words made Barry laugh.
“You? You’re not worthy of an alpha’s time.”
Killa’s face went pale. “He’s not here?!”
He was Tempest Pack’s current alpha. He’d played cat and mouse with Henry all night. And now, at the final step, Henry wasn’t even here? Was he still not worth Henry’s personal attention?
“So alpha Henry’s a coward? He’s afraid of me! Afraid I’ll kill him!”
Listening to Killa’s furious defiance, Barry’s eyes filled with pity.
“Sorry. To an alpha, you’re not even worth one of Ms. Mary’s fingers…” His
gaze
hardened.
“And besides, what’s the point of meeting a man who’s already as good as dead?”
At his command–and at Killa’s enraged roar–the two packs who had hunted each other all night finally clashed in the burning forest.
But from the first strike, the outcome was already decided.
When Henry heard the rising wolf howls, his steps faltered for a heartbeat. He knew the prey. was in the cage now. He felt no urge to look back. All of his thoughts were on Aubrey. She was hurt. She needed him.
His guards had already prepared a private plane. As soon as Henry boarded, his subordinate began a rapid report.
“Alpha, the Miguel family compound is being surrounded by werewolves from the pack. The phones at home haven’t stopped ringing. Everyone’s demanding to know your orders.

are panicking.”
He spoke quickly. “Cam also called. He’s been trying to suppress the news, but the fallout is too severe. He can’t control the fear. He says you should distance yourself from Ms. Mary right now. After you deal with Killa, you must return to the pack immediately to discuss strategy with him.”
“The elders have already convened a council because Ms. Mary is involved. They’re waiting for you to preside…”
After the rush of words, he asked at last, “Alpha, should we return to Shadowmoon Pack now?”
“No.”
Henry didn’t hesitate. “Go to the isolation zone near King City.”
The guard seemed to choke on the order. Two seconds later he said, “…Alpha, Mr. Xavier has already gone there with a team of wolf–doctor specialists. They’ll guarantee Ms. Mary’s safety. There’s still so much for you to handle, and everyone’s waiting for your answer…”
“I said go to the isolation zone.”
“But so many people need you right now…”
Henry opened his eyes and looked out the window. The fires were receding into the distance.. The rising and falling wolf howls faded completely.
Softly, he said, “Many people need me? But I–need her.”
Yes, outside was chaos. No–outside had already turned upside down. But none of it mattered more than Aubrey.
With Aubrey taken and locked in a strange isolation zone, he wanted only one thing: to reach her side immediately.
He needed her.
He needed to feel her warmth in the next heartbeat, to know he hadn’t lost her by accident.
He needed her.
