Chapter 128 A Mother's Reunion

• As the massive gates of the Red Blood Pack compound opened, Maris stared out the window, his mind whirling. Everything Zeus had told him replayed in his head—the name *Ares,* the accusations against Hades and Hera, the word *home.* But nothing felt right. All he knew was that he had to escape, get back to his family, and warn them.

• “Stay in the car, Ares. I’ll be back in a moment,” Zeus ordered, his voice firm but without the menace from earlier.
