Chapter 155

• Emily's POV
• The tension in the air was palpable. I could feel it crawling beneath my skin as I stood frozen in the foyer, staring at the stormy faces of Alpha Ronan and Caden. The sound of their footsteps echoed down the hallway, heavy with anger, and my pulse quickened in response.
• Lila stood at the center of it all, her eyes burning red, a reflection of the fury that seemed to pulse from her like an electric charge. I had seen her angry before, but this? This was different. The wolf within her was practically vibrating, her aura fierce and untamable, and I felt the pressure of it suffocating me.
