Chapter 237 SONIAS POV The room felt suffocating , the air heavy with tension as Ivy and I stood over the map sprawled across the table .
The candlelight flickered , casting shadows over the carefully marked territories and notes .
My fingers hovered over the northern border , where Cades armbush had taken place .
Were missing something .
I said , my voice barely above a whisper .
Lorenas always been cunning , but theres no way she could move this efficiently without help .
ou think its someone inside Bloodmoon ! Ivy nodded .
her green eyes sharp and focused .
You I dont want to think it , I admitted , my chest tightening .
But how else would she know exactly where to strike ? Someones feeding her information , and we need to find out who , Ivy frowned , her hands resting on the edge of the table .
If its true , then this isnt just betrayal , its treason , Whoever it is , theyre risking all of our lives for what ? Revenge ? Gold ? I closed my eyes , a wave of exhaustion crashing over me .
My mind had been running in circles for days , and every thought led me back to the same conclusion , there was a traitor among us .
We set a trap , I said finally , opening my eyes to meet Ivys gaze .
Something small enough to lure them out but big enough to see where their loyalty lies .
Ivy hesitated , then nodded .
Whats the plan I can say for now , but lets go .
I ordered .
Hours later , we were standing near the northern border under the cover of darkness .
The forest was eerily quiet , the usual sounds of nocturnal creatures absent .
The cold bit at my skin , but I ignored it , my focus entirely on the task at hand .
Ivy stood beside me , her hand resting on the hilt of her dagger .
Do you think this will work ? she whispered .
It has to , I replied , though the doubt gnawed at the edges of my resolve , Wed spread false information earlier that day , word of a vulnerable supply line traveling through the woods .
If someone within the pack was freding Lorena information , theyd take the bait .
Remember , I said , said , my voice low but firm .
We dont move until until we see proof Ivy nodded , and we fell into silence , our eyes scanning the shadows for any sign of movement .
My heart thudded in my chest , each beat a reminder of what was at stake .
with every passing moment .
Just when I began to think wed miscalculated , a figure emerged Minutes turned into hours , the tension coiling tighter wi from the shadows I sucked in a breath , my body going rigid as the figure crept toward the decoy supply line .
My hand tightened around the hilt of my dagger , but I forced myself to stay will .
Wait , I im murmured to Jvy The figure paused , glancing around as if checking for witnesses .
Then , they crouched near the supplies , their movements quick and deliberate .
My heart satik as recognition washed over nr .
Daniel , I whispered , my voice barely audible .
Ivys eyes widened , but she didnt say anything .
We watched as Daniel pulled a small device from his pocket , a signaling stone used to send messages over long distances .
My stomach churned .
He was the spy ? Or was he just running an errand for Ramon .
Bore I could react , a deafening how tore through the night .
My blood turned to lce as rogues emerged from the trees , their eyes gleaming with malice .
Its a trap ! I shouted , drawing my dagger .
1/8 11:03 AM c c Chapter 237 The forest erupted upted into chaos , Rogues surged toward us , their movements swift and coordinated .
Ivy and I fought back , but we were outnumbered .
From the comer of my eye , I saw Cade burst through the treeline , his massive wolf form a blur of motion as he tore into the rogues .
Relief flooded ime , but it was short lived .
Cade , behind you ! I screamed as a rogue hunged at him from the shadows , Cade spurt , his claws raking through the air , but the rogue was fast .
Too fast .
The blade caught Cade in the side , and he stumbled , blood blooming across his shirt .
No ! The word ripped from my throat as I fought my way toward him .
Ivy was beside me .
her movements precise and deadly as we carved a path through the rogues .
By the time we reached Cade , he was on his knees , his face pale and drenched in sweat 1 Cade , I said , dropping to his side .
Stay with me .
He gritted his teeth , his hand pressed against the wound .
Im fine he rasped , though the trembling in his voice betrayed him Youre not fine , 1 snapped , my voice shaking .
Youre bleeding out .
Youre not healing , why ? Its silver … by murmurs in fear .
The rogues were retreating now , their ambush thwarted , but the damage had been done .
I pressed my hands against Cades wound , trying to stem the flow of blood.
Youre not dying on me , I whispered , my vision blurring with tears .
Do you hear me Youre not allowed to die .
He gave me a weak smile , his hand reaching up to touch my cheek .
Stubborn as ever , he murmured .
I learned from the best , I said , choking back a sob .
The By the time we got Cade back to the chamber , his condition had worsened .
The healers worked tirelessly , their faces grim as they tried to stabilize him .
I stood outside his room , my hands stained with his blood .
Ivy was beside me , her expression a mix of exhaustion and What do we do now ? she asked , her voice raw .
I stared at the floor , my y mind racing .
We find Daniel , I said , my voice cold .
And we make him talk .
anger Ivy hesitated .
What if hes just a pawn ? What if Lorena forced him into this ? Or what if hes not guilty and was just present there at the wrong time , unknowingly to know ? I dont care , I snapped , the anger spilling over .
He betrayed us .
He betrayed Cade .
Ivy placed a hand on my shoulder , her touch grounding me .
Sonia , she said softly .

I shook my head , the tears spilling over .
I cant lose him , Ivy .
I cant lose anyone else .
You wont, she said firmly .
Well get through this .
Together ? That night , I sat by Cades bedside , watching the rise and fall of his chest .
His face was pale , his breathing shallow , but he was alive .
