The moment the five mechanical werewolves launched their attack, ice spiked from Nathan's palm, forming a shield in an instant..

The lead werewolf's claws screeched across the surface, the sound piercing, metallic. Nathan caught the scent of leaking oil from its joints-no trace of sorcery. These were pure mechanical creations, forged by the Nightshade Pack.

"Just scrap metal," Nathan sneered.

With a surge of force, his ice shield expanded outward, smashing two of the wolves into the roadside rock face.

Grant leapt in at the same time, his claws tearing into the third, slicing through its shoulder plating. Gears shattered with a metallic pop, revealing a glowing core pulsing in its chest-Nightshade's signature energy

stone.

The fourth mechanical wolf suddenly took flight. Its titanium-alloy tail drove down like a drill.

Nathan dodged to the side, but landed in a puddle-each assault was calculated to drive him back toward the roadside edge.

Then the fifth came at him from behind, its razor claws slicing through the air, ruffling his hair.

"You're looking to die."

Nathan's wolf power exploded. A wall of ice a hundred meters wide rose from the earth.

The werewolves crashed into it with full force. Their bodies shattered into flying debris, but one jagged claw, riding the force of the impact, spun straight toward Nathan.

It grazed his forearm.

He glanced down. A thin line of blood emerged-slow, persistent.

Unusual.

Even his accelerated werewolf healing couldn't close it.

He frowned. Upon closer inspection, the blade had tiny barbed hooks-pulling his blood out by design.

"Alpha! They're extracting your blood!" Grant yelled, hurling an icicle that shattered the last werewolf's head.

But just then, every piece of mechanical wreckage began to glow.

Nathan's eyes widened. He grabbed/Grant and leapt toward the trees.

A second later, the five mechanical wolves exploded in unison.

Fragments wrapped in electrical surges tore through the rain and sliced open Nathan's back, burning through half his coat.

"Alpha, are you alright?!" Grant caught him, quickly examining the wound. The gash from earlier still hadn't healed. "Those claws were laced with wolfsbane extract. We have to get to a hospital-now!"

But while Grant panicked, Nathan simply let out a low laugh.

"Fast. That bastard found us faster than I expected." He touched the torn edge of his coat. "And what a petty man. We sent five stitched-together puppets. He sends five mechanical werewolves. Not letting a single debt slide, huh?"

In the distance, the Frost Pack's guard wolves howled in response to the explosion.

Nathan let out a loud howl, ordering them to stand down.

This wasn't an assassination attempt. No one followed up the attack. The mechanical wolves were a message, not a death sentence.noveldrama

Just retribution.

"Alpha, seriously-you have to get this treated!" Grant pressed urgently. "Alright, alright."

In the end, Nathan allowed himself to be taken to the best werewolf hospital in Yalvaria.

But the incident didn't go unnoticed. Word of it reached Jeremy-the former Alpha of Frost Pack and Nathan's father.

When Jeremy stormed into the ward and saw his son lying in bed, fury burned in his golden eyes.

"In Yalvaria—your territory-who the hell could possibly hurt you? Was it that girl again? Tessa?"

Jeremy knew his son too well. It didn't take much to guess.

"I've told you over and over-Tessa is nothing but trouble! She looks like Joanna, and that's it. Joanna was gentle, kind, always put you first. Tessa is rebellious, arrogant, always fighting you! If you stay involved with her, you'll only get hurt."

Just hearing her name made Jeremy's temper boil.

Nathan didn't even look at him. "Old man, this is my business. Stay out of it. And if you dare lay a finger on Tessa, we're done."

The moment he said it, Jeremy's fury ignited. Wolf energy surged around him like a storm.

"You're unbelievable! You'd threaten your own father over some irrelevant woman? You're the Alpha of "Frost Pack! If you keep putting yourself at risk for her, if she endangers you again-then I'll kill her myself!"

He wouldn't let anyone cloud his son's judgment. And he definitely wouldn't allow anyone to destroy his

future.
