One by one, everything made sense. Our Gamma had given Jason false information in the pack house. He was the only official who contacted me, provoking me to join the battle by mentioning my father. He knew…

“Where is he? I will kill him!” My rage turned my eyes blue as I shouted those words.

“We didn’t see him. We thought he was injured. The war was long, and many pack fighters died, so we didn't notice.”

I clenched my fists. “How could someone so close betray us?”

Eric seemed thoughtful. He took a deep breath. “Jason fell ill after the celebration. I fear our Gamma was behind it.”

My eyes widened. Frustration surged. If an Alpha couldn't trust his own officials, who could he trust?

“He was with Alpha Leo. How could he betray us? My brother was powerful before his illness. If he hadn't been ill…”

The taste of betrayal was bitter. Those who betrayed others so readily didn't deserve to live. Because Alpha… [The sentence abruptly ends. Context is needed to complete it.]

I looked at our Theta and said, “Find that traitor. I will give him a death that will shake everyone.”

He nodded slightly and turned to leave.

A few guards entered, their eyes on me.

“Alpha Adrian is calling for you.”

I was taken aback. I didn't want to face him after misunderstanding him in the war. He knew the truth about my… [The sentence abruptly ends. Context is needed to complete it.]

My father went to the door, turning to me.

“Don’t worry, I’ll go with you.”

The guards stopped him. “Only her.”

“Dad, I’ll be fine,” I said, glancing at my children. I left with the guards.

“Where is he?” I asked as we went upstairs.

Jason was in a nearby guest room downstairs. I was curious about Adrian's location.

“Where he should be. In the head Alpha’s bedroom,” a guard replied.

I stopped.

“What’s wrong? Let’s go! We don’t want to anger the Alpha,” a guard urged.

Another shook his head. “You don’t know our head Alpha. He’s ruthless when punishing others. We can’t offend him.”

Seeing their fear, I continued. They didn't know I was the head Alpha's ex-wife. That’s why they warned me.

With a heavy heart, I proceeded toward the head Alpha's bedroom. Someone else occupied the room that had been mine. I couldn't accept it.

The guards stopped at the bedroom door and knocked. They opened it as if Adrian had given permission telepathically, gesturing for me to enter.

After a deep breath, I entered. They closed the door behind me.

The room was large, reminding me of my brother. It was emotional.

“Done scanning the room?”

I turned at the deep voice. Adrian stood there, holding a glass of wine, his shirtless chest showing my wounds.

I averted my gaze. I was weak before him because of… [The sentence abruptly ends. Context is needed to complete it.]

“What was your family telling me? They threatened me. What now? Their warnings were all in vain.”

His mocking tone made me shrink. I was speechless.

He stopped before me. Even with my head lowered, my eyes went to his abs, then his chest, seeing the marks…

He grabbed my jaw, forcing me to look at him.

“What happened to your arrogance, Natalia Hansley? Why are you avoiding my gaze?” he muttered angrily.

In his eyes, I saw only disgust and disdain. He scoffed.

“Look where I am. Didn’t your brother refuse to let me stay here? See how fate played with your family. Now, this is my pack house, and I will…” [The passage ends abruptly.]

The passage needs significant context to be fully coherent and grammatically complete. Many sentences are unfinished or require additional information to make sense. The frequent use of ellipses () highlights this issue.
