Chapter 338
room, “Maybe she is not the problem at all, she is the key… she started all of this.”
An evil grin crawled on my lips, “I will make her end it.”
I know that Orion’s army has fallen. I know I have gotten half of his army down.
I sat down and smiled as I thought of how I had snuck into a merchant’s cart right after and passed the pack’s gates with ease.
I had rolled out of the cart and bruised my arm. But I didn’t feel the pain; I knew my mission was successful. Now, I have to deal with whatever problem I have in my pack. I called Rowan and sat him down.
“That symbol Piper found,” I said, leaning forward. “It’s not random. I know it has some sort of attachment to something dangerous. I need you to find out what it is.”
Rowan, still slightly uneasy around me, nodded. “I’ll look through the archives. I’ll find something.”
“Take Piper,” I suggested. “She has an eye for details.”
Rowan hesitated, his jaw tightening. “No offense, but I’d rather work with someone who won’t make me have an argument again.”
I sighed, understanding he was trying to avoid Warrick’s problem. Rubbing my head, I said, “Lila, then?”
“Yes,” Rowan replied without hesitation. “Lila.”
After some hours, Rowan and Lila came to explain to me the result of their findings from delving into the dusty archives late into the night. “After hours of searching, I finally came across a tattered record with the same symbol that was on the dagger.”
I raised a brow as I listened keenly. “Well, here!” he exclaimed, holding it up. I leaned over, reading the faded text. “Calla had a rogue network, and it looks like Orion’s pack used her channels to gather intelligence and destabilize nearby packs.‘
Lila’s voice fell. “They exploited weaknesses, internal conflicts, and strained leadership. This is exactly what’s happening to us.”
Rowan’s fists clenched. “It’s obvious. They’re trying to break us from within, just like Alina did.”
Her name was a bitter memory hanging in the air. “She was working with them all along, wasn’t she?” Lila asked softly.
“It makes sense,” Rowan said. “Alina wanted power. Calla wanted control. And Orion? He’s finishing what they started.”
I just listened, my heart sinking, and I didn’t say a word. The picture was clear: Orion’s pack was systematically dismantling our unity, exploiting every fracture in our foundation. noveldrama
“We need to dig deeper,” I said firmly. “I want every loose thread tied up. Every ally, every enemy, every opportunity find
it.”
Rowan and Lila nodded, determination showing between them.
