My Cheating Mate (Emma and Jeremy) novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110

The reinforced door cracked open. Emma’s face appeared, Grace chitched to her chest, Marcus standing behind them both with his claws extended.

“We’re okay,” she said. “We heard the fighting. Dad killed one of them before they reached urs.”

“There were three. Lord Castellan got the third.” pulled her into a fierce bug, careful of Grace between us. “You’re safe. You’re both safe.”

“For now,” Lord Castellan said grimly, examining the dead hunter. “But Jeremy, look at this.”

He pulled a device from the hunter’s tactical vest. A radio, currently transmitting.

A voice crackled through: “Alpha team, report. Have you secured the newborn?”

My blood turned to ice. “They knew. They knew about Grace.”

“How?” Emma’s voice was barely a whisper. “She was born an hour ago. How could hunters possibly know?”

“Information leak,” Lord Castellan said. “Someone told them. Someone close enough to know about the birth in real time.”

“Another spy,” Marcus growled. “Like Drake. Someone in the pack feeding information to enemies.”

The implications were staggering. We had a traitor. Again. Someone who’d told hunters about my daughter’s birth within an hour of it happening.

The radio crackled again: “Alpha team not responding. Bravo and Charlie teams, converge on hospital. Eliminate all targets.”

“They’re sending more,” I said. “We need to evacuate Emma and Grace. Now.”

“Where?” Emma demanded. “Jeremy, if we have a spy in the pack, nowhere is safe. They’ll know wherever we go.”

She was right. And we didn’t have time to root out the traitor before more hunters arrived.

*“All warriors, this is Jeremy. We have confirmed intel leak. Hunters knew about Grace’s birth. Assume all defensive positions are compromised. Fall back to secondary positions and prepare for coordinated assault.“*

Acknowledgments flooded back through the mind–link, along with reports of fighting across all sectors. The hunters had committed significant forces easily fifty or more, hitting us from multiple directions.

This wasn’t a raid. This was an invasion.

“Lord Castellan,” I said. “Your offer of alliance. Does it still stand?”

“Of course. Why?”

“Because we’re invoking it. Right now. Full alliance between Crescent Moon Pack and Nightshade Coven, effective immediately. Your people and mine, fighting together, sharing intelligence, coordinating defense.”

“Jeremy-“my father’s voice through the mind–link. “That’s not a decision you can make unilaterally. The council needs to

“Dad, we’re under attack by professional hunters who knew about Grace within an hour of her birth. We have a traitor in the pack. We’re outnumbered and outgunned. I’m making the call.” I looked at Lord Castellan. “Do we have an agreement?”

“We do.” He extended his hand. “Nightshade Coven and Crescent Moon Pack, allied against common threats. My warriors are yours to command.”

I shook his hand, sealing the alliance. Emma watched, still holding Grace, her expression a mix of fear and determination.

“What do you need from me?” she asked.

“Stay in the safe room. Protect Grace. Let me and Dad handle the fighting ”

“Like hell.” She handed Graceto Marcus. “Dad keep her safe. I’m going out there.”

“Emma, you gave birth an hour ago

“And I’m a wolf. We heal fast. Jeremy, our pack is under attack. Our daughter is threatened. I’m not hiding while everyone else fights.” She was already shifting, her wolf emerging with maternal fury I’d never seen before.

There was no arguing with her. Not when her eyes held that particular fire.

“Fine. But you stay with me. No heroics. No unnecessary risks.”

*“Agreed. Now let’s go kill some hunters.“*

The three of us–two wolves and a vampire lord–headed out to join the battle. Emma moved slower than normal, still recovering, but her determination was absolute.

The hospital grounds were chaos. Hunters with silver weapons facing off against wolves and vampires fighting side by side. Fire and blood and violence everywhere.

I spotted a hunter aiming at one of our younger wolves and intercepted, taking the silver bullet meant for her. Pain exploded in my shoulder but I pushed through it, dragging the hunter down.

Emma fought beside me, her wolf smaller and weaker than usual but no less fierce. She protected my injured side, covering my blind spots.
