Chapter One Hundred and Ninety One 

A knock sounded at my door, and I walked over to let Aric in 

I know what you’re about to say. I know you think what I did was dumb and reckless-” 

I think you’re the bravest person I’ve ever known, Kaida. You’re willing to risk your life for a pack that doesn’t even deserve it. The plan might not be ideal, but it was a bold moveone not many would dare to make.” 

The sincerity in his voice told me he wasn’t just saying thishe truly meant every word. I swallowed the lump forming in my throat. Aric had always been my closest friendl; he knew mesometimes even better than I knew myself. But maybe Cynthia was right. Maybe I was the selfish one

I never knew about his sister. I had always been too caught up in my own goals, and through it all, he had stood by my side. I knew how he felt about me, yet I had pushed those feelings aside like they meant nothing

Thank you. That means a lot to me,I said. My eyes drifted to the clock

I had exactly two hours thirty minutes to go

Are you ready?” he asked

As ready as I’ll ever be.A thought crossed my mind. Aric, if things get rough, I don’t want you to intervene.” 

A long silence stretched between us before he finally nodded

I expected him to leave, but he didn’t. Instead, he took a seat on the couch

I hadn’t realized how much I needed someone right now. But a part of me wished it were someone else— Alexander

You know, I didn’t actually think he wouldn’t come.I said, and we both knew who I was referring to. I should let go of this stupid hope, but I can’t. Every time he does the opposite of what I expect, I still hold on. He knew about the war, he knew I was in dangerthe whole pack is in dangeryet he didn’t care.” 

You are strong Kaida, I believe in you and I think it’s time you believe in yourself too.” 

He was right, all my life I always had someone to lean on. My father, Aric, Alexander, but this timeI would have to stand on my own

Only representatives from both packs were presentaround eighty in total. A barricade had been set up to keep the crowd out. Cameras were mounted on the trees, their red lights tracking my every move. To some, it might look like just a show, but for me, it was a fight for survival

Alpha Derek stood shirtless in the middle of the clearing, flexing his muscles. Maybe my leather outfit wasn’t the best choice. I stepped forward to join him

A bald man from the Onyx Pack walked aheadhe was the announcer

“We gather here today to witness a battle between Alpha Derek of the Onyx Pack.The crowd roared. And Alpha Kaida of the Nightshade Pack.

The cheers from my pack weren’t nearly as loud. I didn’t let it get to me. I knew many of them were against this, though I could understand why

Alpha Derek practically towered over me

Scanning the small crowd, I spotted Aric and my advisors at the front lines, cheering

7/2 

Chapter One Hundred and Ninety One 

They will fight until one party yields,the announcer continued before Derek cut him off

I get the pack and the title if I win, while you’re only fighting to keep what’s already yours. What kind of madness made you agree to this?Derek asked, sounding almost curious

You’re not the only one who has something to prove. If I cannot fight for my pack then maybe I am not fit enough to lead them.”
