“Do you really think we can work with these bloodsuckers?” Gael, a member of my pack asked, his tone laced with skepticism. His muscles were tense, ready to shift into his wolf form at any moment.

Aidan’s eyes darkened slightly, but his voice remained steady.

“We don’t have a choice. Right now, we’re all that stands between those women and whatever Orson has planned for them. We fight together, or we fail them.”

Gael didn’t reply immediately, but I could tell the words had hit home. My pack wasn’t known for backing down, and right now, there was no room for doubt.

“I’ll handle it,” I said, stepping in before the tension could escalate further. “Aidan and his team are with us now. The faster we get this done, the better. We save Amelia and Sienna, and we’ll talk later about all of this.”

The pack exchanged reluctant glances but nodded, accepting my decision, if not fully comfortable with it.

Aidan’s underlings, clearly well-trained, stood silent but alert, their eyes scanning the area. They might have been vampires, but they were here for the same reason as us.

“We’ll follow your lead, Finn,” Gael said, his voice steady now, though I could still hear the underlying tension.

“Good,” I said, turning toward Aidan. “We’ll need a full strategy.”

Aidan gave me a sharp nod.

“My people know how to move without being detected. We’ll have an advantage if we time it right.”

“Damon,” I said, turning to him, “take some pack members and flank the building. I need you to clear out any vampires hiding around the perimeter. We don’t know how many we’re dealing with, so don’t take chances.”

Damon gave me a tight nod before disappearing into the shadows with them.

“Aidan, we’ll need you and your people to handle the vampires inside. I want you to move in as silently as possible, no fights unless we absolutely must.”

Aidan’s lips curved into a brief smile, but it didn’t reach his eyes.

“That’s a solid plan, let’s just prioritize getting Amelia and Sienna out of the building.”

I turned back to the pack.

“You’re with me. Stay close, stay quiet, and don’t do anything unless I give the order. We’re not just going in to fight. We’re going in to get them out alive.”

The tension was palpable, but the resolve in my pack’s eyes told me they were ready.

We had a plan, and now all we had to do was execute it.

"Let’s move," I said, my voice sharp.

We moved into position, the sound of our footsteps drowned by the tense silence. The next few minutes felt like hours. The weight of the mission, the lives on the line, pressed down on me with every step.

“Ready Alpha, we have killed all the vampires surrounding the area, but there are some at the back,” Damon said, his voice low.

“Good. Keep the perimeter clear. We move in fast once we’re inside,” I ordered.

I silently took out the two vampires at the back, slashing one’s throat and driving a blow into the other’s chest before they even had a chance to react.

Sienna is here but where is Amelia?I thought as I approached a small dimly lit room.

The vampires guarding Sienna were down, but I didn’t waste time.

I leaned close, keeping my voice steady, though my heart hammered in my chest.

“Sienna,” I said gently, shaking her shoulder. “Sienna, wake up.”

Her eyelids fluttered open, and she gasped for breath, her eyes wide with fear.
