Chapter381.
Andrew’s eyes narrowed, his wrist snapping with impossible speed to seize Jared’s. The force was brutal; Jared heard a faint crack in his own bones. With a swift, powerful twist, Andrew executed a devastating throw.
Bang!
Jared slammed hard against the cold stone floor, the impact jarring his spine, blurring his vision.
My wolf felt a surge of empathy for him.
After dispatching Jared, Andrew straightened his fur and stood tall.
He might not be able to defeat Grayson, but none of his younger brothers could best him–not even Jared, despite his relentless training.
ared groaned, gritting his teeth as he pushed himself up, each movement a fresh agony, sweat beading on his orehead. Ignoring the pain, he sprinted to the chamber entrance, spreading his limbs to block the only exit.
Andrew! Emily is at fault! You can’t use such underhanded tactics to force them to falsely accuse Isabella! It’s
injust!”
Andrew’s gaze was glacial as he looked down at Jared.
If she hadn’t created this chaos, the Silvermoon Pack’s honor wouldn’t be tarnished, and Emily wouldn’t be Facing judgment.”
For the first time, Jared found his brother’s obsession with the Pack’s reputation incomprehensible.
If you truly care about the Silvermoon Pack’s standing, Emily should be held accountable for her actions!” Silence!” Andrew snapped, cutting him off.
My decision is final. Emily is too vulnerable to withstand confinement!”
ared stared in disbelief.“Do you truly not know the truth, or do you simply refuse to see it? It was clearly Emily…” Andrew’s eyes were like shards of ice.“The Silvermoon Pack needed to take Emily in, that is all you need to know.” He turned, his icy gaze fixing on the couple by the bedside, his Alpha presence radiating immense pressure. Consider my proposal. You have until the next sunrise to decide. Contact my assistant when you’ve reached a conclusion.”
Without another word, Andrew cast a chilling glance at the pup, a look that made the parents flinch. The he–wolf instinctively shielded her child.
Andrew turned and left.
Once his shadow disappeared, the suffocating silence was broken by choked sobs. The parents collapsed into each other. The she–wolf trembled violently, her sobs wracked with despair.
‘I’m sorry… we truly did not wish to harm Miss Miller, she saved our son’s life, but…” Her words dissolved into

tears.
The he–wolf held his mate close, his voice raw with anguish. He looked at their pup, still weak and reliant on the oxygen, his eyes red–rimmed.
“But our pup, he’s so young, he cannot endure this. We truly had no choice…”
Witnessing their despair, Jared felt a sharp pang in his heart. He saw a haunting reflection of this scene–only the victims weren’t them, but a group of young she–wolves.
They wore the same desperate expressions, but instead of apologizing to him, they apologized to me. They didn’t want to harm me, but they had no choice.
Jared shook his head violently, trying to dispel the disturbing images.
Taking a deep breath, he fought down the rising panic and stepped forward.“Do not worry, give me some time, I will contact Isabella… Her brother, you know him, correct?”
“Alpha Smith?”
Jared’s jaw dropped.
My brother was him! Everyone only remembered Grayson as my brother!
Jared pressed his hand to his chest, his voice hoarse,
“Yes, the Smiths wield more influence than the Millers. He can definitely protect you.”
Without hesitation, he turned and hurried out of the healing den. Jared, having severed ties with the Millers, had left everything behind–including his transport.
He stood by the path, preparing to hail a transport to the Firewood territory.
Even if the guards tried to stop him, he would break in and expose Caleb’s scheme against me.
Suddenly, a black van screeched to a halt beside him.
The door swung open.
Before Jared could react, a rough sack was thrown over his head, plunging him into darkness. A sharp pain shot through his neck, and as his consciousness faded, he felt himself being dragged into the vehicle.
When Jared regained awareness, the dull ache in his neck persisted. His limbs were free, so he removed the sack and assessed his surroundings.
He was in the Millers‘ hidden den, surrounded by familiar furnishings from his former chamber. He knew who had captured him.
Jared searched the den, finding no communicator, no way to contact the outside world. The silence was stifling, broken only by his own frantic heartbeat.
Wrapped in a blanket on the soft bed from his old room, even the familiar surroundings couldn’t dispel the crushing loneliness and fear.

Jared huddled under the covers, replaying memories of how I had endured this same confinement, repeatedly brought here because of Emily. His brother had even brought his bed and blankets to make him more comfortable.
But I had nothing.
The thought of being consumed by endless darkness and silence, perhaps something worse, squeezed his heart like a vise, suffocating him. He couldn’t fathom my past despair.
The silence was maddening.
Suddenly, he sat up and fumbled in the dark, grasping a familiar device and pressing the power button. The screen of the viewing device blazed to life, cutting through the thick darkness and briefly easing his panic and loneliness.
He flipped through channels unconsciously, then paused, the screen settling on a specific image-
“Regarding the recent Howlnet rumors about Miss Carter’s alleged acquisition of falsified medical records, our den has confirmed it was a misunderstanding.”
“The source of the misinformation has been identified as an individual action and is unrelated to Miss Carter.”
“We offer our sincerest apologies for the damage caused to Miss Carter’s reputation.”
Behind the spokesperson, Jared saw a familiar figure. It was their father, the patriarch of the Miller family. Though silent, his commanding presence spoke volumes.
Father had returned from his travels, and he had acted!
