Chapter 253
Xena’s POV
My foot never left the
gas pedal, tires screaming as I tore out of our territory. When I crested the hill, the wheels weren’t
in some places. I only hit the brakes as I approached the gates of Logan’s pack.

Every second of delay was driving me more insane. Xena was in their hands, and I was here wasting time. I could feel her fear, her pain, transmitted through our bond. The sensation was nearly driving me mad.
“My men are coming through. Don’t stop them,” I barked harshly, then gunned it forward. Logan and Leonard came running out of the pack house as my warriors pulled in behind the.
“What happened? Where’s Xena?” Logan demanded urgently.
I didn’t answer him. Instead, I got out of my car and walked toward one of the warriors who was climbing out of his vehicle. Grabbing him by the throat, I dragged his ass over and threw him down at Logan’s feet.
This warrior’s incompetence made me want to tear something apart. Their failure had allowed Wiley to infiltrate the pack. But I also knew that rage alone wouldn’t solve this. I needed information. I needed to know exactly what had happened.
“Tell him what the fuck happened!” I roared.
He looked both ashamed and terrified as he bowed his head. My other warriors came over and knelt down as he began to
speak.
“We were relaxing on the porch. Alpha Ryder and Luna Xena had been here all morning, so we didn’t have much to do… Hearing his excuse made me angrier. I punched him in the temple, and he went down, unconscious.
“Your turn, but this time don’t make fucking excuses,” I said with dangerous calm to the next warrior’s face.
“Our sentries were killed first by Alpha Wiley. They attacked us from different directions. Gunfire erupted everywhere, and we couldn’t react in time. They used drones overhead to spray something on us that took away our wolves,” he said quickly, keeping his head down, not daring to look at me.
“Wolfsbane, Alpha,” the warrior beside me said. Penelope heard this and rushed back into the house urgently.
“He tied us up and brought Luna Kestrel before him. He kept asking where everyone in our pack was, why the place was empty. He kept asking where Luna Xena was. Luna Kestrel and everyone present refused to tell him anything. Then Alpha Ryder and Luna Xena returned. They sprayed Alpha Ryder with the stuff and took away his wolf. Luna Xena jumped in front of the gun, demanding to be taken in exchange for our lives. Alpha Wiley killed Mike and Luna Kestrel. Finally, he took Luna Xena.”
My fists clenched tight, nails digging deep into my palms.,
Thadn’t realized we’d drawn a crowd. Several gasps and cries came from the gathered people. “Alpha Wiley took my sister,” Logan said with dangerous calm.
“Yes, we’re going after her immediately,” I snarled, slamming my fist down on the car’s hood. “Where the fuck is William?” I asked, realizing he wasn’t here.
“Alpha Wiley knocked Beta William unconscious and put him in the trunk of another car,” the warrior replied.

Chapter 253.
I couldn’t control my rage. Twas able to take down three men before two others grabbed me and pulled me off my
subordinates.
They were all taken. The most important people to me were in enemy hands. Fury made my vision blur.
“Here!” Penelope came running out with a black bag. She ran straight to me and stopped. I was still being held back, but
she didn’t seem to care.
She pulled a bottle from the bag and held it to my mouth, forcing me to drink. The liquid disappeared the moment it
touched my tongue.
Searing pain exploded along my spine, and I dropped to the ground. On one knee with one hand supporting me, I felt my wolf emerge. He was furious beyond measure, and nothing could stand in his way. I knew my eyes had turned black.
Finally… I felt the power return. And because of inheriting the Alpha position, the strength was now greater than before.
“Warriors, prepare for battle,” Logan roared. 1 looked up at him his expression was cold. He nodded at me and turned to leave, but another car came racing in.
More trouble? My muscles tensed, ready for fight, but when Ama got out of the driver’s seat, I relaxed.
A young boy got out of the passenger side. “Logan!” She ran forward. I could see how much her belly had grown.
Seeing Ama safe lifted a weight from my chest.
“What is it, Ama?” Logan showed incredible restraint.
Ama stopped and looked around at the scene before her. When she looked at me, words caught in her throat. There were tears in her eyes, but she probably only knew that my parents were dead and I was now her Alpha.
“Alpha Logan! I broke through the firewall! I’m in!” This kid must be Galen. This was incredibly helpful for our current situation – it meant the odds of rescuing Xena had just improved significantly.
Logan ruffled Galen’s hair, then surveyed everyone with his eyes.
Logan glanced at me, indicating I should follow, then turned and walked into the house. Ama, Galen, Leonard, and I all followed him into the office.

Leonard, not William. It said that William was taken away in another car when Wiley attacked
