    After the bonding ceremony concluded, the guests gathered in the banquet hall beside the bsanctuary /bfor dinner. They lingered long after the meal, chatting andughing, before finally beginning to say their goodbyes.

    “Dad, let me take you home to rest,” Reba said, helping Reginald to his feet. She knew he was exhausted after a full day on his feet–his back already too stiff to straighten. “Landon and the others still have things to handle. We’ll go ahead.”

    Reginald nodded and patted the back of Landon’s hand. “You two should rest soon too. Don’t overdo it.”

    Landon personally walked them to the car and opened the door. He leaned toward the driver with a final reminder. “Drive slow. The fog’s thick tonight.”

    “Of course,” the driver replied with a smile, starting the engine.

    Inside the warm car, Reginald leaned back in his seat. As he recalled Tessa and Landon standing side by side in the sanctuary, receiving the blessings of their pack, a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. The Nightshade Pack finally had a Luna worthy of standing beside Landon. Now, even his old heart could rest

    easy.

    But across the street, hidden in the shadows of a ck car, Nathan’s wolf eyes gleamed faintly in the dark. He rolled a custom–made silver bullet between his fingers–its coreced with forbidden wolf–pack poison, enough to paralyze even a high–tier alpha for a time.

    “Alpha… that’s Reginald, the former alpha of Nightshade. He’s not someone to mess with,” Grant said tightly, clutching the steering wheel, tension in his voice.

    Nathan sneered, lips curling to reveal sharp fangs. “Precisely why he needs to feel this.”

    He threw the door open and sprang out like a phantom, his Frost Pack explosiveness unleashing into the night. In a sh, he had climbed a roadside tree.

    Through the scope of his rifle, he tracked the Thorne family’s car as it approached, then aimed at the tire.

    He pulled the trigger.

    The shot cracked through the night.

    Boom!

    With a thunderous st, the rear left tire exploded. The car veered out of control, skidding violently across the road in a wide, erratic S. Reginald, ever the seasoned alpha, tensed instinctively. Just before impact, he threw himself over Reba, shielding her with his body.

    “Dad!” Reba cried out, barely registering the sickening jolt in her back before everything went spinning.

    The car rolled violently,nding on its side with a heavy crash. Airbags deployed. Shards of ss bscattered /bacross Reginald’s suit.

    “Dad! Are you okay?” Reba scrambled upright, a gash bleeding at her temple. She reached to bpry /bbthe /bdoor loose. “Help! Please!”

    him, he rushed to the rear door. “Sir! Missb!/bb” /b

    Inside the car, Reginald gasped for breath. When he saw Reba’s bloody forehead, panic flooded his eyes He pped the interior of the door. “Get out! Don’t worry about me! The car could blow at bany /bsecondb!/bb” /b

    “I’m not leaving you!” Reba shouted, her voice shaking. “We leave together or not at all! Just hold bon- /bI’m calling Landon!”

    In the distance, Nathan watched from the shadows of the trees, unmoved. He lowered his rifle and walked back toward Grant’s car. “This is only the beginning.”

    Grant’s hands trembled as he started the engine. “Alpha… Landon will know it was us. He’ll find out fast.”

    “Let him,” Nathan said, his eyes fixed on the disappearing crash site in the mirror. A wicked smile curled across his lips. “He needs to learn–if he dares steal what’s mine, he’ll pay for it.”

    Back in the flipped car, Reba finally managed to dial Landon. Her voice was shaking so hard she could barely speak.

    “Landon… something happened… We were on the way to the hospital… Dad, he…”

    In the sanctuary, Landon had just ended a security call with Nathaniel when his phone rang again. One look at Reba’s name and his heart dropped.

    He turned pale in an instant.

    Tessa, sensing the shift in him, grabbed his hand. “What’s wrong?”

    “My father and Reba were in an ident,” Landon said, his voice sharp and frozen. He snatched up his coat and bolted out the door. “We’re going to the crash site!”
