Casey’s POV
I faced the skilled and strong warriors from the north during a fight. While I was on my way home, my phone rang, and I answered it, it was Sheperd
His first words were, “Casey, I am sorry,” Sheperd said, then continued. “It sounded like a good idea at the time. He didn’t inform me that he was going after Zora. He only mentioned helping me retrieve Kara.”
I found it strange that Sheperd would want Kara back, considering all the suffering he had put her through because of Gabriella Shieldse. I had heard that he used to abuse Kara. Why would he now desperately want her back?
I asked him, “I thought you wanted her out of your lives?”
He sighed and replied, “I want her back. My life has fallen apart in the past month. Gabriella Shieldse is only good for sex, but her attitude is terrible. I’m starting to suspect that the things she claimed Kara did to her were lies. She simply wanted to remove my wife from the picture I regret everything. I should have handed Gabriella Shieldse over to them. Now I’m fulfilling Luna’s duty and doing my job. It’s infuriating that fate has connected me with such a worthless piece of shit You know the messed up part? I can’t hate her. Whenever she’s with me, I feel foolish. My wolf just gives in. I should have risked being weak and rejected her ” He ranted, and I let out a sigh.

I expressed my disapproval, stating that he had no right to pursue her at this moment, especially considering the madness of the Dark Lord Alpha. In response, he let out a growl.
He countered, saying that he didn’t care. In return, I growled back.
“I care. I really care, for heaven’s sake. Lives were lost the last time; how many more are we willing to sacrifice? Let it go. I’m certain she’s alright. The man is treating them well,” I assured him, hoping to bring him peace.
“And how can you be so sure? That man is a twisted individual. Are you aware of what happens to captured Lunas in the north?” he questioned, causing me to sigh.
“He is different, Sheperd. Zora sent me a letter confirming that she’s fine. If anything was amiss, she would have found a way to subtly convey it in the letter without alerting them. I’m confident that Kara has come to terms with her belonging to the North and has moved on. You should do the same,” I reasoned. His response was silence, and I let out another sigh.
“I’ll see you at the meeting tonight, and make sure Hardy comes too,” I told the person on the phone before hanging up. When I returned to the house, I found Lori crying at the table.
Knowing how Lori often used her manipulative tactics, I had become immune to them. So I headed to my bedroom, took a shower, got dressed, and then went back to the living room to wait for the meeting.
“Casey,” Lori called out as she approached me on the couch with swollen
eyes.

“You haven’t shown any affection since I came back. I haven’t done anything to deserve this,” she said, and I looked into her eyes. She was sad, and although I knew it wasn’t her fault, I was still grieving. Part of me wanted to comfort her, but I held myself back.
“Give me some time,” I said gently, kissing her forehead.
Despite my anger, I couldn’t bring myself to hate her. She stayed with me on the couch until it was time for the meeting. I didn’t want her to come along, but she insisted, so I allowed her. As I waited for Lori to get ready. I knew I would arrive at the meeting late.
Upon reaching the meeting hall, I found an intense argument taking place. Shepherd was trying to confront Hardy, accusing him of deceiving him.
“You wanted Kara, and I wanted Zora. How did I deceive you?” Hardy defended himself, recounting what had happened. I approached him and attempted to punch him, but he caught my fist.
“You won’t hit me twice, Alpha Casey. I’ll show you respect because of our alliance, but don’t try to hit me again,” he warned, his yellowish wolf eyes flashing.
“The alliance is over. Go back to your region. You’ve caused enough trouble,” I stated firmly.
There was no need for a long discussion. They had admitted their actions, and everyone present was aware of the possible consequences. The only thing left was to respond to their behavior.
Hardy looked around, hoping to find support, but no one opposed me.

“I may not be as famous or powerful as you are, but this is my territory, these are my people, and I am the leader. Cruz formed that alliance with my permission. I’m breaking it tonight,” I declared, and he nodded, accepting his defeat.
“You’ll regret this, Alpha Casey. The North can’t be trusted. The Dark Lord Alpha is cunning and wicked, and he will come for all of you when you least expect it,” he warned, and I chuckled.
“What does taking Zora from the north have to do with conquering it?” I questioned, highlighting the absurdity of his words.
He gave me a strange look. “It wasn’t wrong to try to rescue Zora from that jerk. She deserves better, Casey. Maybe you don’t have feelings for her. but she deserves better than being a fuck toy for the Dark Lord Alpha and his officers,” he said with pain and anger, and I could swear he was in love with Zora. I had never seen Hardy break character before. What was wrong with him? They had only met once.
