The Lightning Wolf Chronicles (Evelyn and Nadia) novel Chapter 194

Chapter 194: How Did You Get Here?

Evelyn’s POV

Orion’s eyes filled with pain, tears threatening to spill, but he stayed silent.

I looked at Elliot, Milo, and Nadia. Elliot’s face twisted with confusion. Milo frowned hard. Nadia’s eyes held worry.

Mark pushed open the heavy door. Like some cosmic joke, Acacia and her father tood on the stone steps.

‘Well, well. If it isn’t our little traitor and her gang, Acacia’s voice cut through the night. “Getting kicked out? Have fun playing rogue!”

Mark growled. Freya and I barely held him back.

“Bunch of savages, her father sneered. “No wonder Alpha King Nathan only uses you for the dirty work.”

“We’re not rogues. And we’re not savages.” Sophia’s voice was eerily calm as she picked up Mark’s bag. “You’re just pathetic puppets. Your pack got attacked

and we’ve got work to do.”

She turned to Acacia. “Come near any of us again, and we’ll show you the same kindness’ you showed Evelyn. We’re all professionals.”

“How dare you threaten me! Acacia shrieked. “Are you just gonna let her talk to me like that?”

More people came out, including my father. I watched him approach slowly, his face showing struggle. His eyes lingered on me before looking away. For a

second, I saw pain and… guilt?

But he stayed silent. That’s when I noticed the faint shimmer in the air again – scap bubble rainbows. The magical barrier wasn’t just inside the pack house.

It covered out here too.

Time to end this.

‘Wrong enemy to pick.” My voice went deadly calm as I released my power.

Beta bloodline aura flowed out first, then royal power. The forces twisted together, creating crushing pressure.

–

Acacia and her father’s faces went white. Their knees shook, bodies wanting to kneel. Bloodline suppression they couldn’t fight it.

Both hit their knees hard. Acacia’s nose bled. Her father was soaked in sweat, lips trembling as he tried to speak.

‘You’ll never be anyone’s Luna.” I looked down at her emotionlessly. “Both of you are gonna pay for what you did to this pack.

I pulled back my aura and turned to leave.

Elliot stood in front, sadness and confusion on his face. Milo clenched his fists. Nadia’s eyes held tears.

Orion stood further back, watching me with clear eyes. Unlike everyone else’s chas, his gaze was steady. When our eyes met, he nodded slightly, lips moving silently.

“Go quickly.”

At least one person stayed clear-headed.

Chapter 194: How Did You Get Here?

I gave him one last look, then walked into the night.

The next few weeks sucked.

We moved to a cabin on the territory’s edge, kept doing Sentinel duties. Daily patrols meant running into pack members, but we all kept distance.

The magical influence was getting worse. I could feel that power spreading like an invisible spider web around the entire pack.

I’d tried everything to break it. Always failed. Whoever was behind this was way stronger than me.

Orion had tried approaching me a few times. I avoided him every time. Not because I didn’t want to see him any contact might put him in danger before I

could lift the magic.

He was the only one thinking clearly. That made him suspicious enough.

Nights were worst. Freya and I lived together again, nightmares bleeding into each other. We had to hold hands to fall asleep.

I’d sent countless messages to Nadia. Never got responses. I didn’t know if she was forbidden to contact me or if the magic got her too.

Finally, on another sleepless night, I contacted Commander Taric.

“Situation’s worse than I thought,” I said into the communicator. The whole packs under some powerful magic. I can’t break it yet.”

“I’ll notify Alpha King Nathan, Taric’s voice was serious. But we can’t just send people in might tip them off. I’ll have Juniper investigate. Her magical

skills are way beyond yours.”

After hanging up, I sat by our backyard fire pit. I’d been trying to practice magic, but my emotional state made it impossible to gather power.

I reached out, trying to light the wood. Weak light flickered at my fingertips, then died.

“You don’t really want to do this magic can sense that. When you lack will, it won’t help you.”

My body went defensive, but the familiar voice made me spin around. Orion stood nearby, moonlight outlining his frame.

I shot to my feet. “How did you get here?”

He raised his hands. “Just wanna talk. I need to hear your side of why you left. I know what I saw and what we were told don’t match up.”

He sat across from the fire pit. “You’re not a traitor. And you’re way more powerful than you let on. Talk to me, Evie.”

I hesitated, then sat down. Maybe I’d been too long without talking to someone trusted.

Just as I was about to speak, something weird happened – I casually waved my hand, and the fire pit blazed to life. Orange flames danced in the darkness.

“Jeez! Little warning next time?” Orion jumped but recovered quickly.

“Wasn’t me,” I said quietly. ‘I mean, I didn’t try to do that. I haven’t been able to se magic since that night.”

But you’re talking to me now –

that’s something. His voice was gentle. “Tell me what really happened.”

So by the dancing firelight, I told him everything from that night – including the magical barrier I’d found.
