The Lightning Wolf Chronicles (Evelyn and Nadia) novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64: I Need You to Be Completely Honest With Me

Evelyn’s POV

My new quarters at the Sentinel training center were simple but thoughtful. Gray walls with oak accents created a surprisingly peaceful

space. The single bed had silver-blue bedding that matched my wolf’s fur a detail that touched me more than it probably should have. A

solid desk waited in the corner with training manuals neatly stacked on top.

“You’ll share a bathroom with the other female warriors,” Taric explained. “Omegas clean daily, but keep your own space tidy. They’re not

here to pick up after you.”

“Got it,” I nodded, making mental notes.

Nathan gestured toward the bed. “Have a seat. We need to talk.”

I perched on the edge while Nathan towered over me and Taric leaned against the window. Their positioning wasn’t subtle – I was definitely being interrogated, even if the setting seemed casual.

“I understand why you haven’t told Taric about your attackers,” Nathan began, “but I need you to be completely honest with me now.”

“The attack on you shares too many similarities with the threats against Luna Selena and Isabella to be coincidence,” he continued. “Can you or your wolf remember anything else? Even small details could help.”

He paced slowly, forehead creased with worry. “We’re still investigating the intrusion with little progress. These challengers targeting multiple packs are getting bolder. Usually, such actions come with demands, but so far, we’ve only received threats.”

“I’m sorry,” I sighed, “I can’t remember much. My wolf blacked out right after they broke into the locker room.”

I met his gaze directly. “There were at least three people. The leader rarely got involved except for one slap, but by then my eyes were too swollen to see clearly. I recognized her voice, though.”

–

“The two guys holding me down were incredibly strong like Magnus or Lucian strong. But they never spoke, so I couldn’t identify them. Just like with the intrusion, no scents were left behind. Even the leader’s scent vanished completely. Her voice was the only giveaway.”

‘I think she wanted me to know it was her,” I added bitterly. “Her way of rubbing in how untouchable she is.”

Nathan sat across from me, his expression softening. “Would you tell me who orchestrated the attack? It’s important for justice.”

‘I can’t, Alpha King,” I shook my head. “I have no proof. It would just be my word against hers, and she’s a master at twisting information. She’s built this protective network around herself and dodged consequences for years. Adults who should have noticed never did.”

I looked him straight in the eye. “I don’t want to deal with her anymore or create more trouble by being accused of making false allegations. Karma will get her eventually. I just hope I’m there to see it.”

“What if she targets others after you leave?” Nathan pressed. “Or if she’s involved in the threats against our packs?”

“I don’t think she will,” I considered. “Everyone’s too scared of her. As long as they stay out of her way and don’t interfere with her chasing the triplets, she’ll leave them alone. That’s partly why I trained the cubs so hard so they’d at least know how to defend

themselves.”

I took a deep breath. “She saw me as a threat because of my friendship with the future leaders. She just wants to eliminate anyone who might get between her and what she wants. If someone actually chooses her, that’s their problem. I don’t think the Moon Goddess would

let someone like her become Luna.”

“As for the threats against Queen Selena and Luna Isabella – I doubt she thinks that big. But if you find evidence that kids from Polaris helped those intruders, I’ll tell you everything I know. Until then, I’d rather stay quiet so I don’t mess up your investigation.’

“Following pack law to the letter, aren’t you?” Nathan chuckled. “You’re as good as Taric at withholding information while sounding perfectly reasonable.”

“I won’t push for now,” he conceded. “But if you need to talk, there are plenty of experienced warriors here who might understand what you’ve been through. I hope you’ll trust someone eventually.”

“Thank you,” I said sincerely. “For taking me in when you didn’t have to. It means a lot.”

“Don’t mention it,” Nathan waved dismissively. “If I hadn’t helped, Alistair might have ripped my head off. He’s been anxious these past weeks – even tried pulling rank to visit you, which we refused. Your other friends have been banned from approaching you too, to avoid adding pressure. Hasn’t stopped them from asking about you daily.”
