Chapter 99 A Spy Among Us

• At Nightshade pack,
• The early morning sun filtered through the dense canopy of the forest, casting dappled shadows across the Nightshade pack's territory. Bexley moved with practiced stealth through the quiet mansion, careful to avoid the gaze of any wandering pack members. The previous night's events had heightened Cade's paranoia, and she knew the pack was on high alert. Still, she had a job to do, and slipping through the shadows had become second nature.
• Bexley navigated the mansion with ease, her knowledge of the pack's routines and patrols serving her well. She had learned to listen for the subtle signs of movement, the faint creak of a floorboard or the murmur of distant voices, and adjust her path accordingly. Her heart pounded in her chest, but she remained outwardly calm, every step calculated.
