310 Homecoming...

Lyla POV

I paced back and forth across the lounge area of the pack house, my frustration growing with each step. Across the room, Caius lounged in an armchair, watching me with that infuriating smile on his face.

"You can wear a hole in the floor, but it won't change anything," he said, his tone light and unbothered.

"You lied to me," I snapped, spinning to face him. "You were supposed to take me to White Lake."

Caius shrugged. "I was supposed to keep you safe. Those were Ramsey's orders."

"So this whole time, you were never planning to help me reach White Lake?"

"Not even for a second," he admitted without a trace of remorse. "The moment we were out of sight, my job was to bring you straight back here."

I resumed pacing, my hands clenched at my sides. For the past twenty-four hours, I'd been effectively under house arrest. Caius refused to let me leave the pack house, and the former Ferals, whom I thought were my allies, turned out to be my jailers.

Nanny entered the reception area, her face bright with excitement. "They're coming! The scouts have just reported that Ramsey's convoy is crossing our borders. They've won!"

My anger temporarily subsided, replaced by a sense of relief. "Everyone's okay?"

"There were casualties," Nanny said, her expression sobering. "But they defeated Nathan's forces. He escaped with only a handful of followers."

That news should have thrilled me, but I couldn't fully celebrate. Not when I'd been tricked and confined while others fought and died.

"How long until they arrive?" I asked.

"Any minute now," Nanny replied, moving to organise the healers waiting to tend the wounded.

Caius rose from his chair, stretching lazily. "See? Everything worked out. Ramsey handled Nathan without you needing to risk your life seeking the help of the warriors from White Lake Pack."

I shot him a withering glare. "This isn't over. You don't know the full prophecy, Caius. We still have to face Xander and his goons. This is nothing compared to the Great War, and Nathan is still out there."

"One battle at a time, Moonsinger," he replied, unfazed by my anger.
