The minute I was back within the safe confines of the pack, I knew I needed a plan. The reality of my situation hit me harder than ever. This time, I couldn’t rely solely on my strength or intuition. I had to outmaneuver Paige, protect my sister Emery, and ultimately, secure my future. The stakes were higher than they had ever been, and the only way to tip the scales in my favor was to find powerful allies.

One name immediately came to mind: Alpha King Shiloh Callahan. He was the most formidable ruler in the realm, commanding respect and fear in equal measure. His influence was unmatched, and if I could earn his support, my path to reclaiming my pack and breaking free from Rennon would be significantly smoother.

I remembered a key moment from the past—an event that I had nearly forgotten. During a banquet, I saved the life of Beta Valentin’s mate. Beta Valentin served Alpha King Shiloh. If I played my cards right, I could leverage that moment to my advantage.
