When word came that Noah had begun tightening the net, Damon was already pacing restlessly in his study. His phone suddenly lost service, cutting off all contact with his overseas partners.
“What the hell is going on?” He slammed the phone down in frustration, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
At that moment, the butler rushed in, panicked. “Mr. Soren, it’s bad–all our partners have been seized by military forces!”
Damon’s face went pale. Everything clicked into place. He spun around and bolted from the room to find Nira.
But as soon as he burst out of the study, he saw her standing calmly at the top of the staircase. watching him with ice in her eyes.
“It was you!”
Damon’s eyes flashed with rage. With a furious roar, he shifted into his wolf form and lunged toward Nira. “You treacherous-”

Nira’s POV:
Seeing the murderous fury in Damon’s eyes as he charged at me, I didn’t move an inch.
With a subtle gesture of my hand, a squad of fully armed soldiers stormed into the Soren
estate.
The commanding officer barked sharply at Damon, “Stop right there!”

He then produced an arrest warrant. “Damon Soren, you are under arrest for involvement in illegal black–market medical operations.”
Damon shifted back, his human face a mask of stunned disbelief as he stared at me. “You you actually…
I gave a cold, quiet laugh. “Gamma Noah sends his regards.”

Then, with deliberate mockery, I added, “Oh, that’s right–you’re no longer Alpha of the Blazeborn Pack. You don’t even rate a greeting from him.”
“You-!” Damon snarled, baring his fangs, and lunged again.
But before he could reach me, the high–ranking wolf–warriors stationed around him moved with trained precision, pinning him down effortlessly.
Just as the military secured the scene, Janice appeared on the second–floor landing.
In one hand, she held a vial glowing with an eerie blue light; in the other, she had Jenna locked in a chokehold.
“Nobody move!” she screamed. “This contains X–39–a witch–modified virus lethal to werewolves. If I drop it, everyone in this room dies, rank or not!”
“Janice, what are you doing?” Aven’s face went sheet–white as he saw his mother held hostage. He stumbled forward. “Have you lost your mind? That’s our mom!”
Janice didn’t loosen her grip. The vial glinted coldly under the moonlight.
“I didn’t have a choice, Aven. If you want to blame someone, blame Nira. She’s the one who pushed me to this.” She shot a venomous look in my direction.
I met her gaze steadily and laughed without warmth. “What did I do to you? You posed as Dr. Beyond and poisoned seventeen patients. You nearly endangered every wolf in the Pack Alliance. Every bit of that was your own doing.”
Aven stared at Janice in horror, struggling to believe it. “You’re Dr. Beyond?”
Janice shrugged, completely unbothered. “That’s right. I am.”
Aven looked as if he’d been struck. His lips trembled. “Then everything you told me…”
“All lies!” Janice let out a sharp, unstable laugh, the vial shaking in her hand. “Did you really think I’d ever fall for someone like you, Aven? A pathetic excuse for a wolf?”
Aven staggered back as if physically hit. “What… what did you say?”
“Did you honestly believe I’d lower myself to play along with you, just to get back at Nira?” Janice curled her lip in disgust. “Every time you touched me, it made my skin crawl.”
Hearing this, Jenna began trembling violently, murky tears streaking her face. “This is a curse… my punishment for everything…”

“Shut up!” Janice snarled, tightening her arm around Jenna’s throat. “If you hadn’t brought Nira back and taken everything from me, none of this would’ve happened! This is all your fault!”
I narrowed my eyes, watching her coldly while easing half a step closer. “Janice, do you really think you’re walking out of here?”
“Stop right there!” Janice retreated warily. “Take one more step and I’ll release the virus!”
Her face twisted with madness as she let out a broken laugh. “If I can’t get away, we’re all going down together!”
Aven’s legs gave out. He crumpled to the floor, his expression completely shattered.
Trembling, he pointed at Janice. “So those patients… it really was you…”
“Yes!” Janice lifted her chin defiantly. “If that bitch Nira hadn’t interfered, my plan would’ve worked weeks ago!”
Then she let out a low, unnerving chuckle. “But you know what? This is even better now…”
Suddenly, she shoved Jenna forward and pressed a syringe against her neck. “Everyone back off! Now, or I inject her with the virus!”
The soldiers froze, then slowly began to retreat.
The lead officer raised his hands in a calming motion. “Stay easy. What do you want?”
Janice’s grin turned vicious as she dragged Jenna toward the stairs. “I want a car–full tank, no trackers, no tails!”
Her eyes swept over the crowd before landing squarely on me. “Or… Nira, you can take dear old mom’s place.”
Remembering the intel I’d just received, I didn’t hesitate. “Fine. Let her go. I’ll go with you.”
“Just like that?” Janice eyed me with suspicion.
Even Jenna stared at me in shock–clearly not expecting I’d offer myself in exchange.
Of course, I wasn’t saint enough to trade my life for someone like her.
The only reason I agreed was for the next phase of the plan.
Besides, with Lyra watching my back, Janice wouldn’t find it so easy to hurt me.

Pushing the thought aside, I took a firm step forward. “I said I’ll go.”
“Then stop right there. Don’t move.”
Janice kept Jenna close, her eyes locked on me.
She tossed a pill in my direction. “Take this. Then I let her go.”
