Chapter 146 – My Luna–2
–ZANE’S POV–
“How many?” I asked.

“I don’t know. A dozen, maybe more. They—they came through the woods—Alpha, you need to get here. Now.”
I ended the call and turned towards Lia. She was already frowning, staring at me.
“What is it?”
“I have to go.”
“Go where?” Her voice cracked slightly. “What’s wrong?”
I cupped her cheeks, pressing a kiss to her forehead. “Something’s happening at the pack house, love. I need you to stay here. With Warner and Sheila. They’ll keep you safe.”
Her eyes widened. “Wait. Zane–”
“I’ll be back,” I promised, then kissed her quickly before stepping away. “Don’t leave the school.”
“Hounds!” I said, louder. They circled me in an instant. I glanced at Warner. “Don’t let her out of your sight. Not for second.”

Warner nodded, tense. Sheila moved closer to Lia.
“Ajax, Aaron. Let’s go.”
I didn’t wait for anything else.

We ran outside, hurrying behind the building, yanking off our shirts and ties. Without a word, we shifted, setting out for the pack house. We ran as fast as we could, muscles stretching, paws pounding against the ground. The surroundings whooshed past us, only two words playing in my mind over and over: my pack.
The scent of smoke hit first, sharp and acidic. Then we heard the sounds—screaming, crashing, growls.
We burst through the front doors of the pack house together, warning snarls filling the air.
An Order soldier turned just in time to see Ajax slam into him, snapping his neck. Aaron lunged past me, dragging two down in one leap. I hit the nearest one hard, knocking him into the wall and tearing into his shoulder. Blood sprayed from his wounds, and he cried out.
Something moved on the upper floor, and I moved just in time to dodge a bullet. It lodged itself into one of my wolves, who cried out and fell to the ground. The bullet hissed inside his skin.
It was silver. And maybe laced with something.

I let out a growl and leaped onto the upper floor, attacking the sniper and ripping his head off before he could blink.
My eyes searched around for more of them, but a couple were already lying dead in the floor.
I pounced back down, returning to the main fight.
They fought with poisoned weapons and acid.
But they were human, after all.
We were stronger, faster.
More vicious.
And more desperate.
This was our home. Our people.
We didn’t stop. We moved together, ripping through anyone who dared to step in our path. Within a matter of moments, eight of them were already dead.
One of my wolves screamed, and my eyes scanned the house. I found him near the back hallway, a knife in his throat. He attacked the Order soldier who’d hurt him, but before he could make the kill, he collapsed to the ground, unconscious. The Order solider stood up, limping and bleeding, and dragged

himself against the wall. His arm was hanging weird, jaw already busted. Still, he smiled when I approached him.

His mouth was full of blood, teeth stained red. “Alpha,” he spat, like it was an insult.
I walked up to him slowly.
He tried to laugh but coughed instead, spitting blood onto the floor. “You came fast.”
I didn’t say anything. Just stared him down.
“You think you saved them?” he asked, blinking hard. “You didn’t.”
I grabbed him by the front of his jacket and slammed him against the wall.
He fell to the ground, groaning, but kept smiling. “You think we brought only fourteen men to fight against a pack of monsters?”
I didn’t like how calm he sounded. I didn’t like the look in his eyes.
“We came to keep you busy,” he said, shaking with laughter.
I growled, raising my claws.
He didn’t flinch. “You left her, didn’t you? Your mate.”

Everything in me stilled.

“She’s at the school, isn’t she?” His voice dropped, eyes glinting. “Unmarked. Unclaimed. All by herself. Free to take.”
No. No, she wasn’t alone. She was with Warner. And Sheila.
But maybe, Blake was there too…
A chill went through me.
No. He wouldn’t dare.
“You think you’re protecting your people,” he muttered between blood–infused coughs. “But you’re about to lose the only one that matters.” He laughed again, painfully. “An Alpha without his Luna… what even is that? You’re too late.”

went still.
Images of Lia flashed before my eyes.
Her red dress. Her hair curled and soft around her shoulders.
Her smile when I walked into the gym.
Realisation rocked my world.
I left her.

I left her behind.

I turned, breath caught in my chest, and pounced towards the exil.
Aaron and Ajax were still fighting whoever was left. But I couldn’t stay. Not another second.
I had to get back to her.
I had to get back to my Luna.
Because if anyone touched her—if they even tried—I was going to rip them apart. Every single one of them.
No matter who it was.
