Chapter 574 Bloodlines and Betrayals
Just then, Louis emerged from the bedroom, temples streaked with gray. Clearly, he hadn't slept in days
“Louis!” Yardley rushed over like a drowning man grabbing a lifeline. “Please, talk to them. We just want to sce
Dad. That's all!”
Louis looked at Yardley, disappointment written deep in his eyes. “Sir, Mr. Walter is unconscious. Even if you go
in, there's nothing you can say. And besides-
His gaze slid to the lawyer standing nearby. “Bringing a lawyer to visit a dying man? That's not going to look
good, is it?”
Lila’s face stiffened.
“What's that supposed to mean?” Winona snapped. “We brought a lawyer just in case-"
“In case the old man passes and you get nothing from the will?” Louis cut straight through the pretense. “Relax.
He already finalized it while he was still lucid. The notary has been here. Every detail’s clearly written out.”
He paused, then spoke more heavily. “Mr. Walter loved his family more than anything. Can't you let him have
speace at the end?”
Yardley froze, throat dry. Louis had hit the mark-and hard. He had no reply.
The lawyer, sensing the tension, wisely stepped back. This water was far too deep.
Louis didn’t say anything else. He turned and gently closed the bedroom door behind him.
Inside, the monitor beeped steadily. Outside, Yardley and his group stood frozen, faces burning with shand
silence.
At that smoment, deep in the emergency tunnel beneath the Nightshade Pack vault, a shadow moved
quickly along the stone wall-Grant.

His presence here had been made possible by a mole planted by Nathan three years ago in the Nightshade Pack
logistics team.
Three days ago, the mole sent word: S had been transferred to the underground vault. Inside his collar was a
magnetic card designed to bypass three layers of the security system.
It was the only shot they'd ever had. The vault had been locked down tight for years. No cracks, no windows -
until S arrived.
Beep- Grant swiped a temporary clearance card provided by the mole, opening the access door-and walked
straight into two patrolling/guards.
He sidestepped with inhuman speed, pulling a tranquilizer needle from his coat and striking before eithe
could react.
With the hallway cleared, he rushed toward the prison cell where Nathan was held.
The timing was perfect-S had just been moved. During the brief switch, the mole approached under the
Chapter 574 Bloodlines and Betrayals
pretense of equipment inspection, recovered the magnetic key from S’s collar, and passed it to Grants
ventilation system.
Grant placed the key on the lock. The door clicked open.
Nathan sat against the wall, head jerking up at the sound. His eyes gleamed with the fury of someone cared for
far too long.
When he saw Grant, he sneered. “Took you long enough. Another day down here and I'd have rotted into dust.”
Weeks of confinement had stripped him of patience. His voice was sharp and brittle.
Grant lowered his eyes, voice deferential. “Alpha, we couldn't move until S was caught. The key only works for
ten minutes. We have to go-now.”
Nathan stood, cold wind swirling in his wake. The iron shackles had left deep, bloodied grooves on his ankles, but
he pushed through the pain like it didn’t exist.
He glanced at Grant, voice like frost, “Lead the way.”
Grant obeyed, navigating the route with confidence. The mole had already provided a full map of the vault and
patrol schedule.

“Back to Yalvaria,” he ordered.
Every word carried a chill that could freeze bone.

He had barely rested half a day on the furs when Grant returned, bowing low.
“Alpha, Landon’s plane just landed at the Yalvaria capital.”
He hesitated, then added, “Shall we make our move-?"
Nathan's eyes opened slowly, twin glaciers churning with fury.
“He took Tessa. He letrot in that dungeon.”
His fingers clenched tight, knuckles ghost-white.
“This time... he doesn’t leave alive.
