Chapter 113: Shutting Down the Bridge

*Jared*

I ordered my men to stay just out of Arie’s territory.

They weren’t happy about it, but they didn’t have a choice. I was going to take out Aries and rescue Eliza, even if that meant I had to face him alone.

As I approached the mansion, I noticed there were not nearly as many pack members or guards around as before.

Had Aries been abandoned by his pack, too?

It seemed like our rumors about Aries only being after his own revenge and working with the Royal Guards to kill me had worked.

I didn’t have to fight my way into the mansion, and it was obvious from how quiet it was that the place was almost completely empty.

It didn’t matter if the way was clear or what Aries wanted. I was ready to give my life to free Eliza.

When I’d heard the news of her capture, my wolf had nearly lost control again. He’d been placated when I allowed him to take the lead and run all the way here. But I needed to confront Aries in my human form and stare him down face-to-face.
