Josephs's words had hurt Cynthia. She did not think she deserved that kind of treatment. She felt he was extreme and wrong. There was no harm in her returning to be with her ex. If it weren't for the fact that they kept hiding Ethan and his wife away from her, she was sure she would have broken through his defences and had him back. The kind of love they had could not just fade away like that. Ethan was hurt for so long. There was no way he was over her. Seeing that he was still in a wheelchair made her realise she had done the right thing. She had answered Joseph's call, intending to size him up and realised he would be a bit more complicated than she expected. She wondered how stupid Ashley was able to get him. Maybe she had lost her touch. Her time with Sabastien might have made her less alluring. Cynthia was still thinking of what had happened with Joseph when a call came through on her phone. She got off the bed and grumbled before answering to see who it was. She wasn't h
Ashely got home feeling jumpy. She was very worried about her conversation with Cynthia. She knew the woman might have bad intentions. Although Cynthia told her she wanted to return to Ethan, she knew there was more to it. Cynthia did not seem to want to be saddled with a cripple. Ashely did not want to overthink it. She knew if something went wrong, Cynthia would rope her into it. She needed to secure herself quickly. She headed to Amber's room and knocked on the door when she got there. To her surprise, it was Levi that answered it. The man opened the door and stood before Ashley with his hands folded. He was taking a protective stance. "What do you want, Ashley?" he asked, sounding bored. "I want to see Luna Amber," she requested gently, and he glanced at his wife sitting on the couch. "It's Ashley," he said to Amber, and Amber told him to let her in. Ashely walked into the bedroom feeling weird. The room was dimly lit, and she saw Amber sitting on the couch. Ashely did
Camila arrived at the Cabin, afraid and sweaty. She looked at the side mirror of the passenger's seat several times, hoping no one was following them. While she worried about a tail, she worried about how she would break the news to Alpha Ethan. Her imagination was running wild.She wondered why she got involved. All Dr Rosenberg asked her to do was help the Luna out. He never instructed her to help Alpha Ethan. She knew he might have been involved because he was part of Alpha Ethan's medical staff and the doctor that signed off on his treatment. She wondered how deep the conspiracy was. There was a possibility that Dr James had overthought the whole thing, and there was no silver embedded in Alpha Ethan's spine. What would happen when they operate and find nothing? What if they operate and some complications worsen the situation? What if the silver was being ingested? Even if they did blood work on Ethan, it wouldn't work because both scenarios would make him test positive fo
Joseph was about to leave his office to deal with Ashley when Ethan's call came in on his phone. He looked at the screen and was surprised that his brother would call him at night. Worried about what Malcolm had told him, he signalled Adam and Brian to remain while he answered the call. He had to be ready in case of an emergency. "Hello," Joseph said on the phone. "Joseph, I need you to send Adam with your trusted warriors to Camila Richardson's house. Her husband is under attack. I need you to hurry there quickly and make sure they do not get him," He urgently said to Joseph. "Hold on," Joseph said and looked at Adam and Brian. "Prep a van; we have a mission," He told Adam, and the three of them headed out. "Text me the address," Joseph said to Ethan on the phone while he moved. "I also want you to get Dr James Pitsberg and bring him to the cabin tonight. Do not take chances," Ethan said. "Keith has texted both addresses to Adam now," Ethan added, and Joseph got into the pass
Joseph, Adam and Brian left the cabin the next day. Joesph promised to send some people over to guard the place. It was a gamble, but they doubted their men were compromised. They decided to select from the few that helped fight at the border. The loyalty of those wolves did not need to be questioned. The drive was silent. Neither of them could believe what had happened. No one could guess the reason behind it all.When they got to the mansion, Joseph went into the building while Adam and Brian went to park the van so they could use their personal cars back to their various houses. Joseph knew the beta and gamma would sleep most of the day because none of them got the rest they needed.When he got to the door of his room, he remembered his issue with Ashley.He took a deep breath and opened the door. Ashley was crying on the couch, worried that Joseph did not come home or call her. She was afraid he had gone to be with Cynthia. The moment she saw him, she was relaxed."Joseph," Sh
Ashley knew better not to push it, so she quietly packed her bags and left Joseph's room. She went to the south wing as Luna Amber had instructed her. The room given to her was beautiful. She was glad that Amber had considered her comfort but felt empty. Why did she think she could get away with it? She wondered what made her think Joseph would not make good of his promise. She had crossed all limits with him, and to think Cynthia messed with her on their last meeting. She had lost everything. She sat on the bed and wept.Luna Amber linked Joseph to join her in her office. She wanted to get to the bottom of the matter and discover what went wrong between him and Ashley. She did not like Ashley but cared because she was carrying Joseph's baby.Joseph wanted to sleep because he had a rough night, but he decided to honour his mother and see her in her office.Joseph knocked, and she asked him to enter.He smiled at her, and she frowned, wondering why he looked tired."What is wrong wit
Meadow followed Ethan to the room quietly. She knew it would be wrong to panic publicly, but she feared his plan. When they entered the bedroom, she sat on the bed with her head bowed.Ethan wheeled his chair to her and held her hands.By the time she lifted her head to look at him, tears were streaming down her face.Ethan did not know what to do about it. It touched his heart deeply."I am doing this for us, Meadow," he said, and she shook her head and wiped away her tears."No, Ethan, you are doing this for you and the pack, but not us," She linked him."I am not complaining, Ethan. I am okay with this," she added, and he shook his head."I am not," He confessed to her and looked at her. He was fighting his emotions too."I am not okay with this, Meadow. I am not okay because you deserve better. You deserve a complete man, not this," he said, and she touched his thighs."You are complete," she linked him and looked at him, and he shook his head."I am not, Meadow. I can't do a lot o
Joseph got off his couch to find out what was going on. He knew there would be an attack but did not expect it to be so soon. He placed a call to Adam, and Adam answered on the first ring. "We are on our way to the mansion; all residents have been asked to remain indoors. Those close to the bunker have been ordered to go there, but it seems the attack is targeted at your estate," Adam said, knowing the urgency of the situation, and they both hung up. Joseph headed outside, and there was a full battle outside the mansion. It was as if they had come for the people in the mansion alone. The residence of Whitewood close to the mansion had a drill, so he knew they would be heading for the bunkers after the alarm had gone off. He hoped they would make it to safety. There were many attackers, but the warriors defending the mansion weren't many. He wondered where all their warriors went. "What is going on here?" He linked his wolves. "Renegades," Someone said, and he knew what happened t
