Chapter 420 - 420: Seeking help....

Clarissa

The private jet touched down on White Moon Pack's airstrip, and my stomach lurched as if we'd hit turbulence.

I'd barely slept during the three-hour flight, my mind racing through worst-case scenarios.

As the engines wound down, I gathered my things with hands that trembled slightly despite my efforts to stay calm. Still no word from Lyla. Still no way to reach Ramsey or anyone else in their group.

Through the small window, I could see a convoy of black SUVs waiting near the hangar. White Moon Pack's security was legendary, and seeing them in action should have been reassuring. Instead, it only reminded me of how vulnerable my sister was, wherever she was being held.

The aircraft door opened, and I stepped onto the metal stairs, immediately hit by the mountain air that was noticeably thinner and cooler than what I was used to back home. White Moon territory stretched out before me – rolling hills covered in dense forest, with snow-capped peaks visible in the distance. Under normal circumstances, I might have appreciated the stark beauty of the landscape. Today, it just felt like another barrier between me and finding Lyla.

"Alpha Clarissa."

I looked down to see Ramsey's Beta approaching the base of the stairs; his expression was serious but welcoming.

"Beta," I said, descending the stairs quickly. "Thank you for seeing me on such short notice."

"Of course," he replied, taking my hand in the traditional Alpha greeting. His grip was firm and steady, grounding me in a way I desperately needed. "Though I have to admit, your message was concerning. You sounded..."

"Panicked?" I suggested wryly.

"Yes," he nodded.

I glanced around the airstrip, noting the temporary structures that had been erected near the hangar – command tents with communication equipment, several workstations with multiple screens, and what looked like a small army of technicians bustling between them.

"Given the urgency in your voice," Lenny continued, following my gaze, "I thought it best we handle this here rather than waste time with formal pack protocols. If your concerns require immediate action, we're better positioned to respond quickly from here."

I felt a rush of gratitude for his foresight. "You were right to prepare. Lenny, I think my sister is in serious trouble, and I don't know who else to turn to."
