Chapter 154

• Third Person's POV
• The front hall of the Sanchez estate pulsed with tension. Bastien sat at the high seat, his amber eyes sharp, scanning the gathered pack members and household. Every muscle in his frame was coiled like a wolf ready to spring.
• Beside him, Rudi's mate Dennis' face was dark with anger, his predator's instincts sharpened, sensing the affront to both his mate and his bloodline. Around them, members of the Shadowbane Pack and allied families clustered in uneasy whispers, their scents mingling with the electric tension of wolves on edge.
