Chapter 322
~Zade’s POV~
I flexed my grip on Kyllian’s throat, making him choke. My eyes never left Kane’s. "Listen carefully, Kane. If there’s even one blemish on that boy—one mark, one scratch—I’ll start by killing your Beta here."
I squeezed harder, making Kyllian gasp, his face turning red but I didn’t flinch. I could end his life in a nanosecond and nothing would change.
"Then, I’ll move on to your cousin, to your best warriors. One by one." I tilted my head, my tone turning lethal. "And when you’re finally alone, watching your entire bloodline burn, I’ll kill you too."
Kane scoffed, crossing his arms. "You’re bluffing."
CRACK.
Kyllian’s scream pierced the air as I snapped his wrist back at an unnatural angle.
He howled, his body jerking in agony, and Kane’s smirk dropped.
"The next time, it’ll be his head," I said coldly, my fingers moving up to cup Kyllian’s skull, applying just enough pressure to make Kane see what I was about to do.
I let my wolf’s aura out; it was murderous, different, and oppressive. I didn’t bother holding back, not for Aira, Kyllian, or Kane.
They needed to know I meant business, as anger coursed through my veins.
Kane’s nostrils flared, his hands clenching into fists. His rage was intense, but so was his fear.
"Storm," he called out through gritted teeth. "Get me the little bastard here."
I tsked. "Nah, he has a name. Use it."
"Bring Storm here," Kane corrected, and I smiled.
"Now, tick-tock..."
Seconds later, two men appeared from a darkened hallway, dragging a small figure between them. My heart clenched as I saw him—Storm.
His clothes were dirty, his cheek smudged, but he was awake. His blue eyes, so much like his mother’s, locked onto mine instantly.
Aira exhaled sharply beside me, her body tensing with barely contained fury. "Storm!"
The second his captors loosened their grip, Storm broke free and ran straight into Aira’s waiting arms. She knelt, clutching him tightly, running her hands over him as if making sure he was real. "Are you hurt?" she whispered, her voice breaking.
Storm shook his head fiercely. "I’m okay, Mom. I—" ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Kane’s chuckle cut through the air like a blade.
I turned back just in time to see him yank down on a lion-shaped carving on the arm of his throne.
Shit.
The floor beneath Aira and Storm groaned before it collapsed inwards.
I lunged forward, but it was too late.
They fell.
Aira let out a sharp cry as she clutched Storm close, twisting mid-air to shield him before they disappeared into the dark pit below.
A hollow, echoing thud followed.
Kane smirked. "Oops."
My vision blurred with rage.
I threw Kyllian at Kane with such force that they both crashed into the throne’s side.
Then, I charged.

~Aira’s POV~
Come back to me, Zade.
I held Storm closer, inhaling his scent, grounding myself to this moment. I need to get us out of here. Now that my son was with me, I needed to keep him safe.
