“Yes,” Adrian answered flatly. “They took the weapons meant for us. They used my father’s trust against us. That is betrayal.”
Mira hummed softly. “So that’s why you’re attacking them?”
“Yes.” His voice was colder now. “They crossed a line. This week, we strike. Ironvale Pack will fall.”
My heart dropped so hard it felt like it hit the floor.
No… that’s not possible.
Ironvale would never steal weapons. Never.
My father was an honorable Alpha. My brother protected their name with everything he had. We were not thieves.
Something must be wrong. A misunderstanding. A setup. Anything but this.
My hands trembled uncontrollably.
They were planning war. This week.
“How convenient,” Mira chuckled. “She’s too clueless to even realize what’s happening. Even if she did, she wouldn’t be able to do anything anyway.”
Adrian let out a low laugh. “She believes everything she’s told. She always has.”
My lip trembled so hard I bit down until I tasted blood.
Everything was collapsing at once.
My son was sick behind that door.
And my entire pack was about to be destroyed.
I had to warn them.
