Hiding My Twin Pups From their Alpha Dad novel Chapter 118

The Crescent Pack had been on high alert ever since the first whispers of danger had spread. Eva sat in her chamber, her eyes staring out the window, watching the moon rise, but her thoughts were elsewhere. She felt the weight of every decision she had ever made bearing down on her, like the world was closing in. The twins, Caelum and Silas, were asleep in their nursery, but Eva couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong. Something was coming, something worse than anything she had faced before.

Then came the knock. A soft, urgent sound that barely registered in her mind until the door opened.

Max entered, his face strained with worry. He looked at her, but Eva could see the battle behind his eyes. His jaw was clenched tightly, his hands fisted at his sides. There was something he wasn’t telling her.

“What’s wrong?” Eva asked, though she already knew the answer.

Max’s voice was tight, controlled. “Georgina has been freed.”

The words hit Eva like a physical blow. She felt the air rush out of her lungs, her chest tightening with anger, fear, and a sense of betrayal that she couldn’t place. “What do you mean, freed? By who?”

Max took a deep breath, his eyes dark with frustration. “One of the Silverstone elders. Someone from within our own pack.” His voice dropped to a whisper as he continued, “They opened her cell. They let her go.”

Eva’s blood ran cold. The weight of his words settled into her bones, cold and unforgiving. Georgina—her mother—had already betrayed her once. But now, there was someone else, someone in her own home, someone who had been a part of her life for years, turning against them. The betrayal stung more deeply than she could have imagined.

“Where is she now?” Eva demanded, rising to her feet. Her voice was steady, but the fury in her eyes spoke volumes. Max shook his head slowly, his lips tight with frustration.

“She took Silas. She’s gone.”
