Billionaire Alpha's 99 Deadly Games

Chapter 10

A crowd had gradually formed around them.

Tyler, Blake, Derek, and Josh stood nearby, faces etched with horror and genuine remorse. Leila

hovered at the edge, her eyes flickering with jealousy and bitter resentment.

Countless others watched with sorrowful gazes.

Lucas acknowledged none of them.

A single devastating fire had transformed the whole territory overnight.

Within forty-eight hours, every pack connected to the "prank" found themselves under brutal attack from the Thornwood pack. Their pack area has sharply declined, their reputations destroyed, their

futures obliterated.

Those Lucas's friends-now locked in the soundproofed basement of his pack's estate, subjected to his unrelenting rage.

Lucas had become something feral, something bloodlust, delivering blow after merciless blow to the men cowering on the concrete floor.

"WHY THE FUCK WERE THERE GAS CANS IN THAT CABIN?" he roared, his knuckles split and bleeding, voice barely recognizable. "ANSWER ME!"

"Why did your pussy-ass guards run without her?" Another devastating punch landed on Tyler's already disfigured face.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU GET HER OUT? WHY IS SHE DEAD WHILE YOU WORTHLESS PIECES OF SHIT ARE STILL BREATHING?"

Each question punctuated with violence, as if hurting them might somehow lessen his own guilt-as if avenging Aria could absolve him of being the one who ultimately led her to her death.

According to their original "hilarious prank," Aria was never supposed to be in actual danger.

As a precaution, they had stationed pack guards inside to protect her. If the fire got out of control, those guards were supposed to rescue her immediately.

But somehow, the abandoned cabin had been rigged with gasoline containers they hadn't put there.
