Chapter 0327

Blackthorn Pack Territory – Evelyn’s POV

The scent of pine needles crushed beneath my boots as I sprinted through the forest. Selene, my wolf spirit, growled a warning.

"We’re being followed."

I skidded to a halt, spinning to face the shadows. A low laugh echoed between the trees.

"Did you really think you could outrun me, little Guardian?" Victor Blackwood stepped into the moonlight, his silver eyes gleaming.

My pulse spiked.

He shouldn’t be here. Not after what he’d done.

Victor tilted his head, studying me like prey. "You’ve gotten faster. But not fast enough."

Before I could react, he lunged.

Celestia Restaurant – Adrian’s POV

The steak knife slipped from my grip as a sharp pain lanced through my chest.

Evelyn.

Magnus, my wolf spirit, snarled. "She’s in danger."

I was halfway to the door when Nathaniel blocked my path. "Alpha, the alliance meeting—"

"Move." The command ripped from my throat, laced with alpha power.

The warriors scattered.

I shifted mid-stride, bones cracking, fur erupting across my skin. The last thing I heard was Seraphina’s gasp before I exploded into the night.

Cliffside Overlook – Victor’s POV

Her back hit the cliff edge, loose gravel skittering into the abyss below.

Evelyn’s breath came in ragged bursts, but defiance burned in her gaze. "You won’t win."

I smirked. "Already have."

Then the howl came—long, furious, vibrating with alpha rage.

Adrian had found us.

Game on.
