Chapter 191 "Right now, yes, I can't shift in the car," I tell him and he looks atdoubtful because I could quite easily but in here I know I would seriously hurt her if I did, my lycan side is aware of that and I don't want that instinct taking over, in here that side ofis forced to remain dormant as furious as that side ofis it doesn't want to hurt her, in an open space right now that instinct would be hard not to give into and God only knows what will happen if I give myself over to instinct while furious and feeling betrayed. Damian nods, climbing out of the car when I speak before he can shut the door. He leans down peering in at me.
"Lock the place down, and shut down all phone lines in and out, clear out unnecessary staff and if anyone asks why just tell them I am grieving the loss of my fiancee." I tell him and his eyes dart to Aubrey in the back.
"You wantto clear out all the staff?" "Soren..." "Just do it, I don't want anyone to know she is here or that we have Bianca., enough rumors are going around." Damian nods and moves to shut the garage doors.

Aubrey watches Damian before nervously glancing back at Chapter 191 me.
"Where is he taking Bianca?" "Dungeons for questioning, I need to know what Rhett is planning." I tell her, keeping my eyes ahead.

"What do you mean?" I ask.
Aubrey's eyes dart to mine. "I don't want to upset you, maybe I should just tell Damian?" "No, you are done lying to me, tell me." I growl at her.
"I have no intentions of lying to you, Soren, I'm afraid of hurting you further." I tilt my head considering her words wondering what she means but at this point I don't think much will surprisebecause everything has gone to shit already. Aubrey sighs and fiddles with her fingers nervously. "Bianca... she said your wife's death wasn't a random rogue attack,” she hesitantly begins. "That the Vampire king was involved, Rhett killed his own father after he went to your wife to report him for human trafficking. He was working for the vampire king." My heart clenches painfully at her words. I've long suspected someone was behind the rogue attack that isn't new to me, but hearing it confirmed sends a wave of anger through me. "Go on," I urge, keeping my voice steady.
As Aubrey recounts Bianca's revelations, my mind races. The pieces of a long-hidden puzzle begin to fall into place, and I 35.97% Chapter 191 find myself staring vacantly out the window.

"We'll get more answers out of Bianca, but for now..."
"For now what?' she questions and I hear the subtle uptick to her heart rate, she is scared, scared I will kill her, or perhaps hand her over to authorities. "For now we go inside, Max has missed you." I tell her, climbing out of the car.
Aubrey doesn't climb out like she is waiting for direct permission and I move to open her door know the е place has been cleared of all staff except those Damian has hand picked to remain so I lead Aubrey inside.
Upon entering the foyer, I'm greeted by an overwhelming silence. The vast splendor of our mansion now feels eerily hollow, punctuated only by distant sounds: footsteps echoing from somewhere above us. Aubrey hesitates for a moment at my elbow; but I nudge her forward to keep her moving. We are halfway down the hallway leading to the staircase when movement catches from the corner of my eye.
