176 Chapter 176

Damien’s POV 1

“Three fucking years,” I snarled at the Beta standing in front of my desk. “Three years we’ve been hunting these bastards, and now you’re telling me they just… vanished?”

Marcus flinched but held his ground. Good. At least he had some spine.

“Alpha, we’ve searched everywhere. Every safe house, every known associate, every goddamn hole they could crawl into. Voss and

Valerie are gone. It’s like they knew we were closing in.”

My fist slammed onto the desk hard enough to crack the wood. Papers scattered. My coffee mug tipped over, dark liquid spreading

across reports I didn’t give a shit about anymore.

“They didn’t just know. Someone tipped them off.” I stood, my wolf surging so close to the surface that my eyes probably flashed gold.

“Find out who. And when you do, bring them to me. Alive.”

The emphasis on that last word made Marcus pale. He knew what I did to traitors. Everyone in the pack knew.

“Yes, Alpha.” He bowed his head, showing his throat in submission. “We’ll find them. I swear it.”

“You’d better.” My voice was deadly quiet now. Worse than shouting. “Because if Voss and Valerie are still out there, everything we’ve

worked for these past three years means nothing. All those rogue packs we eliminated. All those lives lost. All of it–wasted.”

“They can’t hide forever—”
