Chapter 76: The Beast Unleashed

Dante was losing control.

His wolf was thrashing inside him, desperate, violent, clawing at his insides to be free.

The bond between him and Bella was strained, muted—but not broken.

She was alive.

But she was in pain.

And Dante?

He was going to burn the fucking world to get her back.

Chase, Sage, and the rest of his warriors stood in the pack's war room, a massive map of the region spread out before them.

"We found tracks leading west," Sage said, her expression grim.

"If Gabriel took her there, he's holed up in the old ruins near the canyon."

Dante's breath came sharp, furious.

"Then we go now."

Chase hesitated. "Dante, if we don't plan this right, we could be walking into a trap."

Dante's snarl shook the room.

"I don't care."

Chase's jaw tightened.

"And if Bella dies because you rushed in?"

Dante's entire body went still.

Because that?

That was the only thing that could stop him.

"We need a plan," Chase said firmly. "A real one. Not just rage and bloodlust."

Dante's hands curled into fists.

Because Chase was right.

Dante was Alpha.

And Alpha's didn't just strike blindly.

They conquered.

"Then we bring everyone," Dante said finally. "No holding back."

He turned, his blue eyes dark, unrelenting.

"I want Gabriel's pack erased from the map."

Sage exhaled. "And if Bella is still inside?"

Dante's chest burned.

"Then we kill every last one of them until we get to her."

Silence.

Then—

Chase nodded.

"Then let's end this."
