Chapter 176
Jake raised an eyebrow, and his animal was turned on by what the hottest she-wolf just said to them.
Seeing that there were no booby traps or Oleander arrows ready to be fired, Xandar, Christian, the
alliance, Phelton, Dalloway, Langford and two more Lycan warriors came through. Jake nced over
each of them before his sights returned to Lucianne as he said, “Miss you? Yes. Them? Not so much.”
Because they killed your friends back in our little rendezvous in Forest Gloom? How many people did
you lose that day again? Fifty? Lucianne taunted, and was satisfied to see some of those behind Jake
were exchanging fearful looks.
Jake knew it, too. “Trying to scare my people, Lucy?”
Lucianne dropped her fake smile and said, “Surrender, Jake. You and your people have nowhere to run.
Give yourselves up and thew might be more lenient with this.”
Jake chuckled in dark humor and said, “I don’t surrender, sweetheart.”
Enraged growls were fired from those around Lucianne at what Jake just called her. After it died down,
Lucianne said, “Poor memory you have there. Maybe Orphelia can be of more help.”
Orphelia was one of Jake’s less intelligent cronies. Lucianne turned to her in mock bewilderment as she
asked, “Orphelia, I forgot why Clement let Jake leave Forest Gloom instead of killing him in the challenge
for the Alpha title. Do you remember why?” “It’s because Jake sur— Orphelia’s answer was stopped by
Jake’s homicidal growl.
His eyes burnt into Lucianne’s but before he could speak, Lucianne spoke, “The rest of you behind him,
you have a chance toe forward and surrender. Stand with your Alpha, and we WILL kill you.
Surrender, and you’ll leave this ind unharmed”
Although there were arrogant chuckles after Lucianne announced the offer, there were also
contemtive faces. Many of their eyes zed over, like they were discussing amongst themselves.
They lost many friends in thest battle that they were fortunate enough to not be sent to. Even the
Alpha’s own sister didn’t make it.
Toby yelled, “Sixty seconds, people!”
Out of the hundreds behind Jake, about fifteen Lycans and ten wolves came forward. When Lucianne’s
scent didn’t pick up any traces of silver or Oleander from those who wereing to their side, she gave
Dalloway a nod to cuff them to suppress their abilities while his deputy and the other policemen got them
out of the building.
Jake and his loyal followers growled and red at the traitors, who chose to switch sides at thest
minute. The Alpha then scowled at Lucianne and spat, “That was a mistake, Lucy!”
Lucianne spat back, “The mistake was teaching Clement to spare your life if you surrendered in the
Alpha challenge! The mistake was not insisting that he killed you and Iris.”
“I’VE ALREADY KILLED MY SISTER FOR YOU! WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!” 1
His followers were shocked at this deration, and many of his followers became hesitant to take his
side. They thought Iris died i n battle. They weren’t told that the Alpha was the one behind her death.
Alithia stared at Jake in shock and asked, “What did you just say?”
Toby yelled again, “Last chance!” Two lycans immediately came forward, and muttered Oleander des

Jake’s jaw clenched, and his eyes watered just slightly as he told Lucianne, “If it was a mistake to ask
that weakling brother of mine to keep me alive, why don’t you just kill me now?”
Lucianne scoffed and asked thetorically. “What do you think we’re here for, genius?”
In a low, menacing voice, Xandar announced, “My sole purpose of being here today IS to kill you.”
Jake’s eyes were fixed on Lucianne’s as he uttered, “I can promise you, by the end of today, you won’t
be his anymore, sweetheart.”
Upon Lucianne and Xandar’s growls, everyone charged forward and the battle began Their cavalry
barged in through the entrance and exits upon Toby’smand,
Xandar, Juan and Tate went for Jake without giving it a second thought. The sneaky rogue Alpha
charged towards them at first but right before both sides collided, Jake leaped to the side, running away
when the rest of his followers were forced to fight their opponents Xandar and the two Alphas with him
were blocked by rogue Lycans, and were forced to fight them off first.
Alithia cleverly avoided Lucianne when she went for Toby without knowing his level of skill. They charged
at each other and when Alithia was close enough, Toby extended his ws and impaled her abdomen

next one.
Lucianne’s human part was small enough to dash through opponents as she followed Jake, asking the
unshifted Sylvia and shifted Luna Emilia to follow her. The rogue Lycans seemed to be targeting the King
as they came attacking in fours. When he saw his Queen running towards a hallway, he sent a link for
any avable warriors to follow Lucianne and the two wolves with her while h e tried to get rid of pesky
rogues around him.
Phelton growled before flipping himself over his surprised opponent, pulling the rogue’s ears as soon as
hended behind him, tearing them as the rogue let out a deafening howl. The warrior then used that
time to impale his opponent’s throat and abdomen with his ws before dashing across the room to
catch up to the Queen.
Juan killed the two rogue wolves who were in his way before sprinting in the same direction, praying that
he would get to his sister before anything happened to her. After the King snapped the necks of thest
two rogues attacking him, he leaped over the dead bodies scattered around him before bolting. Christian
was only a little behind.
Lucianne, Sylvia and Emilia came to a hall that was smaller than the one they came from. They couldn’t
see Jake from where they were. Lucianne told them to stay back as she stepped through the doorway.
She sniffed the air, making sure there wasn’t any poison there to harm her friends.
She then gave them the greenlight toe through. As soon as they stepped in, Lucianne smelled silver
coming at lightning speed from above, and two des came into view in Sylvia and Emilia’s way.
Lucianne pushed Emilia’s wolf away before taking the de for Sylvia, groaning as she fell to the
ground. After extracting the de with a mild concentration of silver from her arm, Lucianne shouted,
“Get out of here, now!”
Sylvia stubbornly insisted, “We’re not leaving you, Lucy!”
“EMILIA! DODGE!” Lucianne eximed when she smelled another deing. The de narrowly
missed the Luna, and Lucianne pulled Sylvia and Emilia out of the hall before peering through the
doorway.
The guys joined them. Xandar noticed her injury, and immediately ced his hand over the already-
healing wound to heal it faster as he asked, “What are we looking at, Lucy?”
“Silver des are being thrown from a higher level. But they don’t seem to be targeting me. One went for
Sylvia, and another two went for Emilia.” Lucianne exined.
When Lucianne was healed, Christian and Phelton walked through the doorway. Xandar made his mate
promise to stay behind with the other wolves as he went into the room to join the Duke and warrior. The
wolves watched them from where they were.
Nothing seemed to be happening. The three of them stood right in the middle and looked up. There
wasn’t anything or anyone. It was just a deserted second floor corridor. Tate caught up to the wolves and
shifted back before Juan filled him in.
Just as the three Lycans in the room were walking back to the doorway, everyone heard growls before
more rogue Lycans appeared on the second floor corridor, throwing themselves over the railing and
landing perfectly on the floor where the King, Duke and deputy minister were. Lucianne immediately
linked for back-up, so did the three in the room as they took on the rogues.
Lucianne watched the scene in worry, feeling utterly useless and helpless. She prayed that the three of
them could hold on until the other warriors came to help. Suddenly, a de was thrown in Xandar’s
direction and it made a scratch across the length of his forearm, causing him to groan in pain.
“XANDAR!” Lucianne screamed.
