Declan's POV I stormed into my chambers, slamming the door behind me. The rage took over. I swept my arm across the desk, sending papers and trinkets flying. The sound of shattering glass as a picture frame hit the floor only fueled my anger. I grabbed a chair, hurling it against the wall with a roar. "Alpha!" Jason's voice called from outside. He burst in, eyes wide with concern. I whirled on him, chest heaving. "What?" He approached cautiously, hands raised. "We'll find them, Alpha. We'll bring them home." His words cut through my rage, leaving behind a hollow ache. I slumped against the wall, running a hand over my face. "How, Jason? How did this happen?" "I don't know," he admitted. "But we're not giving up. The pack is ready to move on your command." I nodded, straightening up.
