Chapter 166. The Power Within

Aurora’s POV

The moment I saw Caleb pushing through the chaos, his face twisted in desperation, my heart clenched. He was running toward me, his eyes locked onto mine, but I knew—this wasn’t about me. Not now. Not when there were others who needed him more. My throat burned as I screamed at him, my voice raw and desperate.

“Save the others! Caleb, don’t—just go!”

For a second, he faltered, torn between me and the others still bound by the cold stone wall, still terrified. But then the room swelled with movement. More people poured in, familiar faces I never thought I’d see again. Relief washed over me so suddenly that my knees nearly buckled. They were here. Alpha Camden, Caroline, several of the guards from the pack. We weren’t alone.

The guards moved towards the women, their hands moving quickly, untying the women, pulling them to their feet, whispering reassurances as they stumbled forward, their eyes wide with disbelief.

Then it happened.
