Henry’s wolf snarled, but he did not continue with his attack. Jonathan breathed easy, knowing his words had gotten to him. It was not over yet, not as long as he had a bargaining chip.But his relief was soon obliterated when the wolf roared again and aimed for his shoulder. Jonathan screamed as sharp fangs dug into his flesh and crushed through bone. Henry’s wolf thrashed him in the mud like he was nothing more than a ragdoll.Finally, he withdrew his fangs, but not without tearing a huge chunk of flesh off with his fangs. Jonathan screamed in terror as he used his other hand to cover his torn arm as blood flowed from it and onto the mud.“You crazy bastard!” he cursed at Henry as pain coursed through his body. He screamed when he attempted to move. His shoulder was broken and shattered and Henry had torn off flesh from his upper arm. “Fuck you!”Henry shifted back to his human form and sat astride Jonathan. “What about Eleanor’s pack?” he demanded. “And you better talk fast or you’

Thomas’s warriors rushed towards him where he lay on the ground unable to move. Eleanor looked up from his body and to Mia, who had shot the arrow.Mia’s eyes were filled with rage as she faced Eleanor. There were about a dozen werewolf warriors baying for her blood, but she did not even seem to be bothered.After being sprung from the interrogation room, it had taken her a while to find her way to the east gate without discovery. Before she could make it there, the building she had taken cover in had blown up. She was lucky to get out alive!She was running on fumes from the anger she felt towards Jonathan. How dare he set off the bombs without first ensuring she was out of harm’s way? She was the one who had introduced the idea to him.She had delivered Henry to him on a silver platter, but he had botched that up to. How could everything go so wrong after everything she had done?She could not believe that he had allowed Eleanor to escape. Was this the she-wolf he regarded far above

Elroy cracked his neck as he smiled arrogantly. “Once you lose, your territory will become mine.”Good luck, Eleanor thought, wishing he would shut up already. Her wolf growled and hit her paw on the ground, letting him know that he was wasting time blabbering. He seemed to get the message because he shifted back to his wolf form and faced her.Henry got out of the way and the two rushed at each other, growling. They met mid-air and crashed into one another before falling to the ground. Elroy’s wolf lunged for her throat but Harper was quick on her feet and got away.She went straight for his hind leg and snapped it between her fangs. Elroy’s wolf howled and violently pulled himself away, the scent of his blood filling the air.Eleanor wished she could taunt him then, ask him whether he was sure he wanted to go ahead with this. Taunting him like that would make him see red and attack out of spite without caution. It would be a quick way to end this battle.She settled for regarding hi

It was then that it occurred to Eleanor that she had not heard from Miller since she came back. She had been communicating with Sophia all along. If something bad had happened to him, Sophia would have told her, right?“Hey, have you seen Miller?” she decided to ask Henry. He had been at the pack before the attacks so she thought he might have an idea about her Gamma’s whereabouts. “I haven’t heard from him or seen him anywhere.”Henry sighed, his chest shifting beneath her. “Did you ever find it funny how he agreed to become your Gamma?”Eleanor frowned and shook her head. “What? Why? No, I…he had promised to support me no matter what, and he wanted the best for the pack. He knew Sophia would be my Beta all along and was okay with the position he got.”“So you think he was just being selfless, giving up his position as the Beta of Blackstorm to be your Gamma?” Henry asked her.Well, there was that, but there was also the fact that Miller had confessed to having feelings for her.Even

was the culmination of Henry’s efforts in the past few months, which had seen him rise to the position of the Alpha King of the South.While Blackstorm started rebuilding and putting things back in order, Henry had gotten busy strengthening Darkfall’s territory.The alliance with Jonathan had left most of the rogue packs around Darkfall weak. They had sacrificed most of their warriors and funds in plotting against Darkfall and Blackstorm and helping Jonathan wage his war.They had been promised territories and titles, but with the hybrid’s defeat, all they had gotten were losses. This made it easier for Henry to conquer and absorb them without extending a lot of effort. He also took over Alpha Elroy’s pack, making it part of Darkfall.In the months that followed, he had not faced any serious threat, and Darkfall thrived and became the most powerful pack in the southern region. Soon, all the packs in the region selected him as the Alpha King of the South, asserting his dominance and Da
