After I Torched Alive, My Alpha Went crazy novel Chapter 141

I stood up straighter, trying to keep my voice steady. "I know what you’ve done, Merhold. I know everything."

He raised an eyebrow, looking amused. "Everything? What exactly do you think you know?"

I took a step toward him, my eyes narrowing. "I know you’ve been pulling the strings, manipulating everything, including my family. All those strange things about us. Was it all part of your plan?"

Merhold’s smile didn’t falter. "You finally understand, Grace. Yes, it was all part of the plan. Everything. The bankruptcy, the dissolution of the PACK, Sienna’s fate… All of it, carefully arranged. And you, Grace, were a key player in this game."

I clenched my fists at my sides, the rage boiling inside me. "So it was you. You’ve been controlling us all along, ruining everything we had."

Merhold shrugged, "It was never about you, Grace. It was about power. Control. You were just… a stepping stone. A tool."

I could feel the anger rising in my chest, my heart pounding. He had done this to us. He had twisted everything. But there was no use in playing his game anymore.

"I won’t help you anymore, Merhold," I said through gritted teeth. "Not after everything you’ve done."

His eyes gleamed with dark amusement. "You think you have a choice? You’ve always been part of my plans, Grace. You’re far too valuable to just walk away."

The words stung, but I held my ground. "I’ll never be your puppet again. You’ve gone too far."

Merhold chuckled softly, his voice cold and calculated. "Oh, Grace. You’re so naïve. You’ll come back to me eventually. You always do."

The door slammed shut behind him as he left, but his words remained in the room. I didn’t know how to fight him, not yet. But I knew one thing for sure, I wasn’t going to let him win.

I turned back to Sienna, who had been watching the exchange in silence. Her eyes were full of doubt and hope. "I promise you, Sienna," I said quietly. "I’ll get you out of here. We’ll end this together."

She nodded slowly, but I could see the skepticism in her eyes. She had every right to doubt me. But I wasn’t going to give up on her.

The cold war had just started.

The entire island was suddenly on alert. The usual calm was shattered. People moved quickly, their faces tense, their eyes darting around as they hurried to prepare for something.

I didn’t know what was happening, but the guards were all on edge. Then, one of them grabbed my arm, pulling me toward the underground space, the emergency escape route.

"What’s going on?" I asked, panic creeping into my voice."We need to take you to safety," the guard said, his voice grim. "Stay close."

I followed, my heart pounding, unsure of what was happening. As we moved deeper into the underground chambers, I saw the fear in the eyes of everyone around me. The tension was thick, and the air felt heavy with anticipation. Something big was coming. I could feel it in my bones.

Then, I heard it. The sound of helicopters. Many of them. Coming closer.

I stopped in my tracks. "What is it?" I demanded. "What’s happening?" "It’s him," the guard said, "Carlos."

Carlos. He was here. I could hardly believe it. My heart soared with hope. Carlos had come for me. He was here to rescue me.
