**Chapter 134**

**Aysel’s POV**

As I crossed the threshold of the hall, a peculiar stillness enveloped the Shadowbane ancestral fortress. It was as if the very essence of light had been snuffed out, leaving behind an oppressive darkness that swallowed every flickering lantern and extinguished every torch lining the corridors.

In the suffocating blackness, I felt an unsettling chill creep up my spine. I instinctively reached out, hoping to grasp the presence of a few attendants who might guide me through this labyrinth of shadows. But whoever had orchestrated this nocturnal ambush had done so with meticulous precision.

After the Sanchez wolves had rushed Alpha Bastien to the healers, it seemed every servant had been discreetly reassigned or simply vanished into thin air. I was left standing in the vast emptiness, the sound of my own breath reverberating in the silence, a stark reminder of my solitude.

My emotions surged and receded like tumultuous waves crashing against a rocky shore. Doubt gnawed at me; I couldn’t shake the uncertainty of Magnus’s whereabouts. Was he still within the fortress walls? Did he even draw breath?

Yet, amid the rising tide of anxiety, I felt a flicker of resolve. For once, I decided to trust my instincts—and Mia, my wolf, who was restless and clawing at the chains that bound her within me.

At worst, I thought, I would simply be mistaken. At worst, this reckless endeavor would culminate in chaos and confusion.

I replayed the scant information I had, mentally cataloging every possible location Magnus might occupy. After a moment of deliberation, I resolved to make my way to the Greenbamboo Wing—the only place he had mentioned during the evening’s events.

The storm outside was relentless, a ferocious wind that threatened to wrest my umbrella from my grasp. Twice, I struggled to keep it aloft, but the third time, I surrendered, letting the flimsy object be swept away into the downpour.

With my head bowed against the deluge, I ran.

If my suspicions held any truth, then Lyall Sanchez and his mate’s sudden return to the fortress was nothing more than a theatrical distraction—an elaborate ruse to draw attention away from the real target. A scandal from the past, perhaps, meant to shock the family, to provoke Alpha Bastien into a frenzy, and ultimately, to lead every wolf astray.

It was a flawless misdirection. With inheritance and lineage at stake, every Sanchez heir was ensnared in the web of history. Yet, the true aim of the orchestrator had never been the past; it had always been Magnus Sanchez.

He was the only one privy to the Sanchez family’s concealed transgressions, the only one capable of commanding the fortress staff without question, the only one who could navigate these ancient halls unseen.

And tonight—tonight, nearly every Sanchez wolf was present, save for a few who were abroad or recuperating in distant dens.

So who was behind this?

The rain lashed against my skin like a barrage of tiny stones, sharp and stinging, but I pressed on, relentless.

Find him.

Find him—

Mia’s voice, once a mere whisper, had transformed into a deafening roar within me.

Finally, as I neared the Greenbamboo Wing, I caught sight of it: a faint, stubborn glow piercing through the rain-soaked darkness.

Yet, before I could reach the source of that light, several figures emerged, blocking my path.

Wolves, stationed with strict orders.

They regarded me—soaked to the bone, breathless, and sprinting through the tempest—with a mixture of confusion and alarm.

I clenched my fingers at my sides, suppressing the instinct to let my claws emerge, which ached for release.

Drawing myself up, I met their gazes with an icy resolve.

“I understand you’re merely following orders,” I spoke softly, my voice steady. “But as long as Magnus Sanchez draws breath tonight, should any of you dare to lay a hand on me, he will personally take that hand from you.”

A flicker of fear passed through their silhouettes.

They wanted to restrain me, yet the instinct to survive warred against their orders.

Their hesitation was all I needed.

I surged past them.

A few snapped from their stupor and lunged after me.

Fortunately, the majority were ordinary attendants—only a couple among them were true enforcers.

The ones I could evade, I did. The others? I didn’t hesitate to strike.

Mia surged within me, empowering every blow, every evasive maneuver.

By the time I burst through the doors of the Greenbamboo Wing, a whole pack of wolves was trailing behind me, shouting and scrambling in a chaotic frenzy.

I flung the doors wide open.

Inside, a slender figure with an elegant poise stood with her back turned to me.

She turned slowly at the sound of my entrance, her eyes sweeping over me with an expression that mingled admiration with a hint of disappointment.

With a languid flick of her wrist, she dismissed the wolves trailing behind me.

They hesitated, exchanging furtive glances before retreating into the shadows.

I gripped the doorframe for support, rainwater cascading from my hair onto the polished floor, creating a small puddle at my feet.

My gaze locked onto her, shock coursing through me, though not entirely unexpected.

“Fourth Aunt,” I murmured, the words escaping my lips like a breath of wind.

Anna, Conor Sanchez’s mate.

A serpent cloaked in silk.

She let out a soft, melodic chuckle.

“Ulric and Magnus might be utterly worthless,” she mused, a glint of amusement in her eyes, “but their taste in women is surprisingly refined.”

Her gaze slid over my unblemished form, and a genuine sigh of regret escaped her lips.

“You’re quite clever, Aysel. I had originally intended to use your lifeless body as a gift for Magnus.”

A cold shiver raced through my veins.

“These past few days,” she continued, gliding closer, “I’ve watched him—the way he moves mountains for you.”

For your birthday among the Moonvale wolves.

For you in the auction hall, humiliating young Zark before the elders.

For you, cutting off Giovanna’s opportunities without a trace of hesitation.

For you, striking at both the Blackwood and Moonvale Packs without a moment’s pause.

“So dramatic,” she purred, her voice dripping with mockery. “Even if it isn’t love, there’s certainly some sincerity behind it.”

Her smile widened, revealing a predatory glint.

“To let him witness your mangled body with his own eyes… Magnus’s expression would have been priceless.”

She clicked her tongue, feigning disappointment.

“What a pity.”

My voice emerged, low and strained.

“Where is he?”

I stepped deeper into the room, my boots leaving a trail of wet footprints across the polished floors of Shadowbane, each step echoing my determination.

Conclusion

As I stood before Anna, the tension in the air crackled like the storm raging outside. The weight of her words hung heavily in the room, a sinister reminder of the peril Magnus faced. My heart raced, not just from the adrenaline coursing through my veins, but from the realization of how deeply I cared for him. Each moment spent apart felt like a lifetime, and Anna’s twisted intentions only fueled my resolve. I was no longer just a bystander in this dark game; I was a player, willing to face whatever horrors lay ahead to protect the one I loved. The flicker of hope ignited within me, bolstered by the unwavering support of Mia, whose spirit surged alongside mine, reminding me of the strength that resided within.

In that instant, I understood that this confrontation was not merely about survival; it was about reclaiming agency over my destiny and the lives of those I held dear. The shadows of the fortress, once suffocating, now felt like a battleground where I would fight tooth and claw for Magnus. The flickering glow that had drawn me here was not just a beacon of light; it was a symbol of defiance against the darkness that sought to engulf us. As I prepared to confront Anna and uncover the truth about Magnus’s fate, I felt an unshakeable determination settle within me. No matter the cost, I would not falter. I would find him, and together, we would rise against the forces that conspired to tear us apart.
