Hunted Hybrid Aegis War Saga 1 novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131

Lucien Virell POV

The message came through encrypted blood tech, tinged with moon magic and arrogance.

t didn’t open it immediately, I could feel the desperation behind it, bright, teenage, and boiling with entitlement. Wolves were always so predictable when they didn’t get what they wanted.

But still… curiosity got the better of me.

We’re ready to deal. Break us out, and we’ll help you destroy them from the inside. We have power. Influence. And motive. Don’t waste it.

Stormclaw.

Of course it was them.

I leaned back in my chair, my lips curving into a slow, amused smile as the light from the screen bathed my office in crimson. My glass of bloodwine sat untouched beside me, the scent of ash and steel heavy in the air. The girls had been locked in that pathetic excuse for a school since their betrayal. The Luna Queen’s attempt at redemption and “healing.”

Idiotic. I didn’t believe in redemption. I believed in leverage. And these two? Oh… they reeked of it.

I flipped through the file Serenta had compiled on them weeks ago, beauty, bloodline, and bitterness all wrapped in a neat little disaster package. Vaela Stormclaw, the eldest, was all venom and strategy. Soria, the youngest, was fire and instability. Both born alphas. Both bred for power. Both absolutely feral with resentment.

Delicious.

I hated wolves, I reminded myself, tracing a finger down the glass. But rabid dogs can still bite the right throat if you aim them well enough.

They wanted out? Fine. Let them see what true monsters looked like. I activated my comms with a sharp flick of magic and spoke directly into the link.

“Send in the Nightborn Five. Gear them for a full assault, moonlight weapons, shadow armor, and open feeding protocol.”

There was a pause.

“They’re just girls, my Lord,

”

“They’re Stormclaws,” I snapped. “And they’re surrounded by wolf blooded brats in a magically warded cage. Let my hunters off their leash. I want every last mutt in that building dead by sunrise.”

“Yes,

my Lord.”

I leaned forward and began typing, lips parting in a smirk as I composed the reply.

Chapter 131

Your desperation is charming

You’ll be free by midnight.

Prepare your things. Leave the door unlocked.

I’m sending five of my best. Try not to scream when they come through the shadows.

Oh, and tell your little classmates to run.

The wolves are on the menu tonight.

-L

I hit send. Outside my window, the sky began to bleed into twilight. Perfect timing. My soldiers would be thirsty.

And when the girls walked through the blood–soaked gates of that pretty little prison? They’d owe me. And I never let debts go unpaid.

Let the games begin.

Vaela Stormclaw POV

I had just reapplied my lip gloss when the first scream split the air. Not a little scream either. A wet, gargling, someone just lost their throat kind of scream.

I didn’t flinch.

Instead, I smiled into the mirror and dragged a silver blade across my forearm, just a shallow scratch. Just enough to feed the door’s ward with wolf blood and make it snap open.

“It’s time, sister,” I murmured, watching the blood shimmer faintly with moonlight as it ran down my skin. “Let’s go home.”

Soria burst in like a hurricane in lip gloss, her blonde hair wild, blue eyes glowing with feral joy. Her entire body pulsed with silver light, pure Moonborn magic, raw and buzzing beneath her skin like a live wire.

“They’re here,” she grinned. “Lucien didn’t hold back. I just watched one of them rip out Miss Ravira’s spine and laugh.”

I hummed, amused. “Poetic. She always did say I needed discipline.”

Another scream ripped through the hallway. Somewhere close.
