The Witch and Her Four Dangerous Alphas

Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Did you catch the witch?

Vaelen’s POV ~

The night I received the news, my heart almost stopped beating.

The messenger from Midnight Pack came rushing in with an excited face, his voice trembling as he spoke. "They’ve caught her. The witch. The one who’s been killing Alphas."

For a moment, I forgot how to breathe. His words struck me like a blade.

Caught her?

Impossible.

How could they have actually caught her?

I sat frozen, my fingers curling into fists, my thoughts scattering like broken glass. The witch who had made the entire werewolf community restless, the witch who dared to demand freedom for her kind, the witch who punished the arrogant Alphas by killing their heirs when they refused her words... they said they had caught her.

Around me, the world did not slow. My court, my guards, the voices of people talking about my brother and the throne—none of it stopped. But inside me, everything went silent.

I had been busy, yes. Busy fighting for the throne, busy watching my younger brother’s every move, busy making sure I did not lose ground in this endless struggle for power. But that did not mean I was blind.

I knew everything that was happening outside the palace. I knew about the witches. I knew about the games the Alphas liked to play with them, breaking them, using them. And I knew about the witch who fought back.

She had made them furious. Furious to the point they could choke on their own blood. Because never before had anyone stood against them like this. Never before had someone turned the game around, hunted them, and demanded their fear in return.

The Alphas wanted her gone. They wanted her crushed, erased, forgotten.

But me?
