Chapter 99

-Maya's POV-

The world erupted into a cacophony of snarls, growls, and the sickening thud of flesh on flesh. Alex's command echoed in my ears, a death knell shattering the fragile peace we'd all clung to for the past hour.

Before I could even blink, his wolves were a blur of fur and fangs, launching themselves towards the center platform where my father stood, his own wolves scrambling to meet the attack. A primal scream tore from my throat as I watched Alex himself shift. The human form I knew, the one that had haunted my dreams and stolen my heart, dissolved before my eyes. In his place stood a magnificent beast, a black wolf, its fur rippling with raw power.

A guttural roar ripped from Alex's wolf, a sound that sent shivers down my spine and echoed the primal fear rising within me. My father's pack didn't hesitate. With snarls of their own, they too shifted, a wave of brown and gray fur surging forward to meet the oncoming black

tide.

The clash was instantaneous, a whirlwind of snapping teeth and thrashing claws. The air grew thick with the stench of fur and blood, the polished floor of the hall slick with crimson. I stood rooted in place, paralyzed by the sudden, brutal violence that unfolded before me.

Then, a cold realization washed over me, sharp and undeniable. This wasn't a show of force, a fight for dominance. This was a massacre. Alex

hadn't come here to negotiate peace; he'd come here to destroy.

A frantic voice broke through the haze of terror clouding my mind. "Amaya!" I whipped my head around, searching for the source of the shout. Relief flooded me as I saw Ivan pushing his way through the throng of fighting wolves, his face etched with concern.

Instinct took over. I needed to find Natalia and Sarah, get them out of this madness. "Ivan," I shouted, my voice barely audible over the growing chaos, "Natalia and Sarah! I need to find them!"

He reached me, his grip firm as he pulled me towards a side door leading out of the hall. "We need to get you out of here first," he yelled, his voice strained. "I'll find them once I get you safe.”

Panic gnawed at me. I understood his logic, the need to get me out of harm's way. But I couldn't just abandon them. "No! I can't leave them!"
