Lycan's Prey by Jessica Hall

Chapter 141

The revelation leaves me reeling, struggling to comprehend how she managed to hide her true identity for so long. The woman who saved Max was confident and carefree, exuding a sense of fearlessness that Bree never showed. Bree was always reserved, cautious, as if haunted by shadows of a past she never spoke about. How could they be the same person? The disparity between the two personas is jarring, and I find myself questioning everything I thought I knew.

As the report continues, my mind races. She’s Rhett’s mate, the one who robbed his pack. It all clicks into place. I can’t believe I didn’t see it sooner. All those secrets, all those fears, it all makes sense now.

“Damian, pull up the tracker on her car. We’re going to find her,” I command, my voice cutting through the tension.

“Are you sure that’s a good idea?” His serious expression mirrors the gravity of the situation we find ourselves in.
