FOUR ALPHAS ONE REVENGE

chapter 7

LILA’S POV

The forest was quiet now, almost deceptively . The rogues who had attacked the pack were either fleeing, unconscious, or dead. But I could feel it like a pulse in the air the red-eyed witch hadn’t left for good. She was out there, watching, waiting for her next move.

I sank to the ground, golden energy flickering across my skin, leaving small scorch marks on the earth. My body trembled from the surge, my heart still pounding with adrenaline, fury, and the lingering pain of the suffocating grip she’d placed on me.i was so angry ,angry she e

Was able to bend me .

Marcus crouched beside me first, his hand on my shoulder steadying me. “Lila… are you okay?” His voice was soft, almost afraid. Afraid of the power he’d just witnessed.

I wanted to snap at him. I wanted to tell him I didn’t need his concern, that I was fine, I wanted to tell him I hate him, that I could destroy the world if I wanted to. But the bond broken, stretched, pulsing made my chest ache. Made me realize I wasn’t alone. Not entirely.

“I’m fine,” I said, though my voice betrayed the tremor in my body. “But she’s not done. She’s out there, and she’s planning her next move.”

Ethan appeared beside Marcus, gold eyes glowing faintly, wolf instincts alert. “She’s smart. She wouldn’t risk a full fight yet. She’s testing us… testing you.”

I clenched my fists, anger rising hot and sharp. “Testing me? She tried to kill me. Tried to make me her pawn. She doesn’t get to test me. I’ll make her regret ever touching me.”

Callum and Davian flanked me, their expressions tense but proud. “She’s dangerous,” Davian said. “We need to consider that this attack… it wasn’t random. It was coordinated. Someone inside the pack or an ally of hers tipped her off.”

I slammed my fist into the ground, the tremor of energy shooting outwards. “I know who it is,” I hissed. “Someone knew I was coming back tonight. Someone betrayed us.”

Marcus’s jaw tightened. “Then we’ll find them. We’ll burn this traitor out of our pack if we have to.”

I shook my head, my anger boiling hotter. “This isn’t just about traitors. This isn’t just about rogues. This is about her. She’s been shaping me since that night in the woods, and now she wants control again. She wants me to serve her. And I won’t.”

Ethan’s gaze softened, but the tension in his shoulders didn’t ease. “Then we’ll make sure you never have to. We fight with you, Lila. You’re not alone.”

The bond throbbed, pulling us together. Despite the anger, the rage, the years of rejection, I felt it the pull toward them. The shared heartbeat of four men who had once destroyed me, and yet now… were willing to fight by my side.

I rose to my feet, golden eyes blazing. “Then let’s finish this,” I said. “We don’t wait. We don’t hide. We hunt her down before she thinks she can strike again.”

Callum swallowed hard. “Are you sure? You just… unleashed something we’ve never seen. You could destroy her and everything else around you if you lose control.”

I let out a bitter laugh. “Control? She never wanted me to control anything. She wanted me to be a weapon. Well… I’m a weapon now. And I aim it where I choose.” I said bitterly.

Marcus stepped closer, placing a hand against my cheek. “We’ll stand with you, no matter what you do.”

I leaned slightly into the touch not because I wanted to forgive, not because I trusted them yet, not because all the pain I felt no longer bother me but because the bond… it pulsed in response, steadying the storm inside me.

Suddenly, Thea appeared, rushing through the underbrush, her healer’s bag swinging at her side. “Lila! Your wolves are safe for now. But they’re shaken. They’ve never faced something like this before.”

“They won’t forget it,” I said coldly. “Neither will I.”

Ethan’s expression hardened. “We need to regroup. We need strategy. That woman… she’s planning something bigger. She doesn’t attack like this without a plan. If she knows about the bond, if she knows about you… then she’s not just targeting us. She’s targeting the entire pack.”

The anger in me boiled hotter, sharper. “Then she picked the wrong omega. The wrong night. The wrong family. She’s about to learn the hard way that I don’t kneel. I don’t submit. And I don’t forgive.”

Marcus’s hand remained on my cheek, and for a fraction of a second, I let myself breathe, let myself feel. Let myself remember that we had survived this together this night, this attack, the bond that had tied us to each other despite three years of pain and rejection.

“Then we strike,” I said. “Tonight. We hunt her down. We make her regret ever trying to claim me.”

Ethan’s eyes met mine, calm, calculating, and yet there was fire there too. “We do this carefully. We can’t let her know our full strength yet. But yes… she will regret it.”

Callum and Davian moved closer, flanking me like guardians. My heart ached not with longing, not with forgiveness but with the raw, jagged edge of anger that had driven me for three years.

“You’re right,” Callum said, voice steady but intense. “We fight. We protect you. And we make sure she pays for every second of fear she put you through.”

I took a deep breath, feeling the energy of the bond, the power of my wolves, and the dark fire that had been unleashed in me for the first time since she touched me.

Then I smiled, cold, sharp, and terrifying. “Good. Because I’m not just going to fight her. I’m going to make her wish she’d never been born.”

The moonlight caught my golden eyes, glowing brighter than ever, as the quadruplets and my wolves surrounded me. Rage and power surged through every vein, intertwining with the bond that connected us.

I was alive. I was stronger than they had ever imagined. And I was no longer the rejected omega trembling in the shadows.

I was a storm. I was fire. I was darkness.

And anyone who dared touch what was mine would burn.

The forest seemed to shiver at my proclamation. Somewhere, deep in the shadows, the witch’s eyes gleamed red. She had survived tonight, but she knew that the omega she had tried to bend was no longer a child. No longer weak.

She had underestimated me.

And that mistake… would be her last.
