“I watched my parents get ripped apart by the Rogue King’s army. Freya’s voice ook with rage, not weakness. “Then they locked me up in some place with
chains. Had to live in my own filth every damn day.”
Acacia’s face went white. She clawed at Freya’s hands, but couldn’t break free.
“They poisoned my food with wolfsbane – just enough to keep me breathing so they could hold me down whenever they wanted.” Tears ran down Freya’s
cheeks, but her grip never loosened.
“Don’t you dare question other people’s pain when you’ve never suffered a day in your spoiled little life.” Freya pulled Acacia closer until they were nose to nose. “You’re just jealous of Evelyn, so you hired thugs to beat her up. First time you left her for dead – that’s what made her wolf come out early. Second time would’ve killed her if her friends hadn’t found her.”
“I… I don’t know what you’re talking about…” Acacia’s voice cracked.
“Bullshit. Freya’s eyes burned. “What you put her through is nothing compared to real torture. But you’re still gonna pay for every single thing you did.”
She released Acacia, who crumpled to the floor like a broken doll. For the first time ever, I saw genuine fear in Acacia’s eyes.
“Sit down and shut up,” Freya said, her voice deadly calm.
Acacia stayed on the ground, shaking. Luna Isabella and Delta Diana exchanged a look before Diana stepped forward.
“Come on.” Diana’s hand landed on Acacia’s shoulder. “Got a special room picked out for you tonight. Nice and quiet.”
“Where’s she going?” I asked, watching them leave.
“The dungeons, Luna Isabella said matter-of-factly. “There’ll be a proper trial once this mess is over.”
Freya slumped against the wall, looking completely drained. I rushed over to stealy her.
“Can we just not talk about her for a while?’ Freya’s voice was barely a whisper.una Isabella, thanks for everything, but I’m really okay.”
Luna Isabella came over and wrapped Freya in a gentle hug. “You’re both incredibly brave.”
Suddenly I remembered something important. “Luna Isabella, there are still kidsapped at the school library! The tunnel collapsed and they couldn’t get through. I need to go back-
“Absolutely not. Her voice was firm. “It’s still dangerous out there. Someone elsevill handle it.”
‘But
“Evelyn.” She used her Luna voice, “You’ve done enough tonight. Those children Have warriors protecting them. You and Freya need rest.
The adrenaline was wearing off and exhaustion hit me like a truck. My eyelids fe like they weighed a hundred pounds.
Freya had already slid down the wall with her eyes closed. I tried to stay awake, at my vision kept blurring.
The last thing I heard was Luna Isabella’s gentle voice: “Sleep, girls. Everything will be alright.

Someone lifted me up that familiar scent of forest and morning air made me relax instantly. Too tired to figure out which triplet it was, I just curled against the warmth and let myself drift off.
Magnus’s POV
The battle felt like it lasted forever, but we won. That’s all that mattered.
Dead rogues littered the border, blood thick in the night air. My wolf was still res less not from fighting, but from worry about Evelyn.
“Damn it, Lucian growled beside me. “Why can’t we reach them through the mind link?”
‘Relax,” Dad’s voice cut through our panic. “Your mother says they’re both safe.”
We started clearing bodies, dragging rogue corpses to the boundary as a warning to anyone else stupid enough to attack our territory.
On the way back, we met up with Milo and Elliot. Everyone looked beat, but we all had the same worried look.
‘Any word on Evelyn?” Elliot asked immediately.
‘Mom says they’re at the pack house,” I replied.
Boys, I need you to go to the school, Mom’s voice hit our minds. Some children are still trapped there – tunnel collapsed.
What about Evelyn? I asked.
She’s sleeping, Mom’s voice was gentle. But she’s been worried sick about those kids. All the warriors are busy, so it has to be you.
We turned around and headed for the school. Whatever Evelyn worried about, I worried about too.
In the library, we found over a dozen kids huddled in corners with three warriors standing guard. Their faces lit up when they saw us.
‘Alphas!” A little boy ran over and hugged my leg. “Sister Evelyn said someone would come! Are you here to save us?”
Hearing her name made my chest tight. Even in danger, she’d thought to give these kids hope.
‘Yeah, we’re taking you home,’ I crouched down and ruffled his hair. “Everyone ready?”
Lucian carried the two smallest kids while Orion took an injured boy on his back The whole walk home, I couldn’t stop thinking about how natural they
looked with children.
Back at the pack house, Mom led us to the basement. The moment I opened the or, my breath caught.
There she was curled against the wall, golden hair falling across her face. Mooght from the ventilation grate made her glow,
”
She looked so small, so exhausted. My heart hammered against my ribs.
“They’re completely wiped out,’ Mom said softly. “Help me get them upstairs to guest room.”
I moved forward and carefully lifted Evelyn. She was way too light all that training and fighting had worn her down too much.
In my arms, she shifted slightly and pressed closer to my chest. Everything else st stopped existing.
“You’re safe now,” I whispered, even though she probably couldn’t hear me.
