The Lightning Wolf Chronicles Novel

Chapter 162: Bringing Down the Rogue Wolf King Evelyn's POV 74% I held up my hand before my friends could explode. I already knew about the mission setup. Don't get worked up - let Alpha King Nathan finish." Alpha King Nathan nodded. 'Now we can confirm the Rogue Wolf King knows Evelyn's bloodline. She's in greater danger." Mark and Cyrus looked ready to argue, but Nathan raised his hand. "I'm not hiding her away like some fragile ornament. She's royal blood, just like Alistair. That makes her a target people will try to capture her to get to us." He took a sip of water.

"I'll handle her psychological training while you work on physical conditioning. Over the next few weeks, you'll get intensive training in your specialties and learn to coordinate with other Sentinels. As we gather inte on the Rogue Wolf King and missing girls, I'll send you out with our best warriors." "What we know - all kidnapped girls are high-ranking. They're suffering the same abuse you two went through. His eyes flicked to Freya and me. "We've found several bodies recently. Their operation's falling apart - they're getting desperate." "Why be so damn cruel?" Rowan muttered.

Alpha King Nathan's expression hardened. "Our family history is soaked in blood and hatred. The women in our family are born with special abilities. You ve noticed Evelyn's combat skills are way beyond normal warriors. Her abilities are... unusual." 'What do you mean unusual?" My stomach twisted. "Usually each woman has one talent. Your mother could manipulate emotions - you have that too. But you're a Beta's daughter, so Alpha auras should affect you. They don't. You're completely immune." He gave me a knowing look. "Then there are your scars.

Considering everything you've been through, you heal abnormally fast. Silver powder and massive amounts of wolfsbane couldn't kill you." I stared at my hands, feeling everyone's eyes on me. I took a deep breath. "They chained me up by my wrists. Whipped my back until each strike tore through flesh. Then they hung me upside down, poured silver powder on the bleeding wounds, and dumped me in the forest to die. That when my wolf came early." Dead silence. Luna Queen Selena was quietly wiping tears. 'But that s over now. So 'unusual' means I have multiple abilities?" He nodded.

'No family records show any woman with multiple abilities at once. hink Brandon's been capturing females to steal their powers, but he doesn't have detailed family trees. They've been hunting for your grandmother and mother." "If you knew she was the main target, Alpha King Nathan, why the hell did you sl let her take that risk? Mark's voice was pure anger. Alpha King Nathan's aura slammed down on us. "We only got solid proof last nigh. Without Evelyn's mission intel, we'd never have uncovered the truth. Some sacrifices are necessary to end this completely.

Watch your tone." "Yes, Alpha King Nathan. Mark dropped his head. "Now you understand - my cousin, the Rogue Wolf King, will pay for his crimes. ll face formal trial before the Council of Elders and all Alpha Kings." 'Decide his fate?' I shot to my feet. 'Scumbags like him deserve to die! How many innocent people are dead because of his sick ambition? He'd kill you 1/3 10:00 Mon, Jan 12 Chapter 162: Bringing Down the Rogue Wolf King without blinking! Why waste time on some trial? "I rarely see you hate someone this much." He raised an eyebrow.

"With respect, Alpha King Nathan - you haven't personally felt Brandon's torture. His crimes are worth the death penalty, and even that's too easy. I clenched my fists. "If the Rogue Wolf King is as sick as Brandon, or worse, they all deserve to die." I closed my eyes, forcing my breathing to slow. Losing control would get me kicked off missions. ཊཱི74% Would you personally carry out that death sentence? Could you watch someone get tortured, or do it yourself? I know that's not who you are. And what about their kids should we kill them for their bloodline?

Kill him, and if his children escape with hatred, what then? Another revenge cycle? "That's why we need trials. Listen to emotions, but solve problems with logic. The Moon Goddess is the final judge. If you want them to pay, you need to survive long enough to bring them back." I hated that his logic was rock solid. I really couldn't do to Brandon what he did to me. But thinking criminals like the Rogue Wolf King might escape punishment was hard to swallow. "However, you separated Brandon from the Rogue Wolf King, but all reports say they're the same person.

Why do you think they're not?" "Brandon's only obsession was making babies, almost completely fixated. If his real goal was stealing the throne, he wouldn't put all his energy into that. He hasn't even gotten the throne yet. Plus he admitted he's not calling the shots, just a front man." "If the real Rogue Wolf King is hiding as a high-ranking lieutenant, he'd be way more dangerous. We don't know how many puppet leaders hes planted. If I were him, I'd set up multiple protective layers to wear down my enemies." "Very smart." He smiled with pride.

"I know you want justice, but don't sacrifice the world for revenge. You all have tasks - the faster you organize intel, the faster we can break through his protective barriers. You can move around the castle freely until lunch. There's one final task today, then we officially start operations." When the meeting ended, everyone was unusually quiet. Too much information. I walked ahead, not wanting to explain my past with Brandon. I refused to wallow in an unchangeable past. The old Evelyn was gone. The current me had seen too much darkness to fear stupid bullying.

The priority now was bringing down the Rogue Wolf King. When I snapped back to reality, I was standing at a door. The morning's conversion left me drained 1 desperately needed somewhere quiet to process everything. Just as I pushed the door open, someone suddenly wrapped me in a hug from behind. That familiar scent surrounded me, warm as a blanket from the dryer. 'I want to understand what happened, but I won't force you to talk. When you re ready, just remember you don't have to carry this alone, okay?" Alistair's voice came from above my head. I nodded, and he let go.

The others followed us into the room 'So you two are cousins? Should I be calling you Princess Evelyn now? Mark joke, trying to lighten the mood. His words actually made me laugh. 2/3 10:00 Mon, Jan 12 Chapter 162: Bringing Down the Rogue Wolf King 74% 'Seriously though. Our jobs might be different, but we're all after the same thing know you don't want to go into detail about your captivity, but... are there any details that could help us find these bastards faster? Like their weak spots or behavior patterns?" Mark got serious. "Evelyn herself is their biggest weakness, Freya said quietly.
