“How many of them?” I asked Beta Lorenzo, who had ordered everyone to collect all the bombs that had been scattered around the mansion, each ticking with different timings.

The guards and soldiers had gathered everything they could find but the timing was too short to ignore. One wrong move, one delayed reaction, and countless lives would end within seconds.

“Twenty-three. The entire area has been checked!” Beta Lorenza shouted over the clash of metal and snarls. “Gamma Harvey! Send our fastest soldiers. Throw them into the lake. We can use them to collect fish for winter preservation!”

Gamma Harvey, one of the strongest warriors of the Southern Region, leapt toward Lorenzo. Even his wolf radiated danger, his claws tearing through stone as he landed.

“Won’t it be poisonous?” I asked, twisting my body just in time to dodge a rogue’s blade. The fight had been endless. Rogues kept pouring out from secret passages-passages that had been exposed to them by Carolyn for years without anyone knowing. Not even Lorenzo.

“It won’t!” Lorenzo shouted back, ripping his claws through a rogue’s chest. Blood splattered across his fur. “They’re built with plant-based explosive ingredients. They’ll dissolve in water. But it will be poisonous for wolves, so be careful!”

“Okay, Sir!” Harvey roared.

Almost ten of the fastest warriors followed Gamma Harvey, along with three more Gammas from different packs of the region. Their wolves blurred into motion, powerful legs crushing the ground as they sprinted toward the lake.

Within a second, they vanished from sight.

I had grown up hearing stories about their soldiers, about their strength, about how terrifying they were in battle.

Now, fighting alongside them, I realized they weren’t just stories old in classrooms. They were legends carved from flesh and blood.

No wonder Cassian had single-handedly managed such a massive region. From advanced technology to ruthless military discipline, he had built something no one else could have achieved in decades.

And those people? They stood up for Roana without hesitation. Just because Cassian announced his loyalty to her, they made sure she was respected as much as he was.

No pack in history had accepted a contractual Luna, let alone allowed her to rule. Yet because Cassian chose her, they were ready to bleed for her.

Roana was right when she said she was proud of Cassian for choosing a pregnant woman. A leader who sacrificed himself and his most important things for his pack was the only kind worth following.

“Sir Draken! Please find Her Highness right now!” Lorenzo shouted from a distance as he slammed a rogue against the wall, the impact cracking stone. The wolf crumpled, unconscious. “We can’t let her stay alone! We can’t let her go berserk!”

“She will be fine!” I snarled, my wolf lunging forward and clamping its jaws around a rogue’s neck. The crunch of bone vibrated through my skull. “We Mortias don’t go berserk. We play with blood, but we don’t lose our minds!TM

“But she is-!”

“Beta Lorenzo, don’t underestimate my sister.” I spun, grabbed another rogue by the collar, and smashed him into two others charging at me. Their bodies collided hard, ribs snapping “You don’t know what she carries. Even my parents would be scared of her. A Lycan’s mate isn’t that easy to deal with.”

Lorenzo chuckled breathlessly, dodging a blade that grazed his shoulder. “You know her very well.”

“I don’t know her at all,” I replied, my laughter sharp and bitter as I drove my claws into an attacker’s throat. “But her power? It’s terrifying. The fact that my parents abandoned her makes me laugh. They’ll regret it.

“Then why did you leave your family and choose her?” Lorenzo asked, snapping a rogue’s wrist before finishing him. “I thought Moritas lived by loyalty to their family.”

“Loyalty?” I laughed again, harsher this time. “No. They’re caged Trapped by their egos. They can’t escape their obsession with protecting their so-called pure bloodline. It’s pathetic, but is real.”

Lorenzo let out a short laugh. “The fact that I used to hate Her Highness makes me feel guilty. I even tried my best to keep her away from His Majesty.” He wiped blood from his claws onto his fur. “I didn’t want him involved with outsiders.”

“She was his mate,” I said, my eyes darkening as another rogue charged and fell beneath my claws.

“I know. I thought a Lycan’s mate would be another Lycan. It seemed impossible since she was a gray wolf.”

“Gray wolf?”

“Yes. Milestones are gray. Until I saw her fighting in that small village.” His jaw clenched. “Even then, I thought Carolyn was the best option since she knew him better. Seems like I was wrong from the beginning.”

He looked defeated, shoulders sagging despite the blood coating him. “Carolyn and Elle were cherished by His Majesty. Even though he knew he wasn’t in love with them, the kind of love that could start a war, he still treated them like family. He gave them power-too much power. They knew internal affairs, personal matters. We forgot something important.”

I finished off the last rogue with a swift strike and turned toward him.

“Betrayal comes from family,” he continued quietly, “from the people we care about. Not from outsiders.”

“How did you not realize something was fundamentally wrong?” asked, breathing hard.

“We didn’t think Elle would trick us.” His voice hardened again as another rogue rushed him and fell. “Seven years ago, we launched the most advanced technology this world has ever seen. It earned billions. Tyran wanted partnerships. Demanded sponsorship. But the technology was invented by our people. His Majesty refused to dishonor them. That decision angered every king.”

“I heard about that,” I said, wiping blood from my jaw. “Never investigated. They’re jealous that this region is richer than

theirs.”

“Exactly.” Lorenzo’s wolf lunged and crushed another enemy’s throat. “After that, Tyran wanted the entire region. We believed Elle was a victim of their jealousy.” He threw the body aside. “Then our spies disappeared. Claimed they found better jobs.”

“Southern spies? Loyal ones?”

“Carolyn was playing dirty all along.” He exhaled sharply as the last rogue fell. “They’re returning now.”

He shifted back, blood dripping from his arms and face.

“Everyone!” he shouted. “Gather all the bodies and seal them. Were sending them back to those bastards. They started this. We’ll finish it our way.”

The afternoon sun spread orange light across the blood-soaked ground. The Soldiers started taking actions immediately, sealing the secret passage to gathering the lifeless body of those wolves.

“It’s time to find Her Highness, Sir Draken,” he said quietly. “No matter how strong she is, losing her mate is destroying her inside. She’s still a being with emotions.”

I shifted back, staring at my trembling hands. “Indeed. I’ll bring her home.”

“No need.”

Roana’s voice cut through the air like a blade.

We, all, turned to find her standing there with a beautiful woman beside her. I felt a sudden shock through my chest.

“Mate!” My wolf snarled again, just the same way I met her earlier when I arrived with Roana.

“Your Highness,” Lorenzo said immediately. “Have you handled Kyros?”

“He’s in the dungeon,” she replied coldly, her voice sharpening each second. “I’ll give him a slow, painful death for betraying my husband.”

Her eyes were hollow as she walked toward the mansion. Everyone watched her. No one could look away.

They stared at the very woman with respect and amusement they once mocked.

“Until then,” she said, her voice steady, head held high, “send an official message to every leader in the werewolf world. If they dare harm my mate’s region, they will deal with me first.”

She announced while walking like a queen who already knew how to rule her kingdom.
