The Messenger( Iva) novel Chapter 326

“Then we make sure we’re ready first.”

Attia pulled out his phone and dialed.

The call connected quickly. Caleb’s voice came through, warm but cautious.

“Attia? What’s going on? All ok? It’s late.”

Attia took a breath.

“We have a situation,” he said. “A serious one.”

He told them everything-about Meriem’s arrival, her wounds, her story. About the Bloodfang Pack’s pursuit. About Calin’s abuse, the hidden assets, the desperate hunt.

Iva’s voice cut through, sharp and horrified.

“She’s been tortured? For years? And no one knew?”

Caleb’s voice was colder, more controlled.

“Alpha Calin always had an exemplary record. Stellar reputation. No complaints, no red flags.” His voice dropped. “I can’t believe what I’m hearing. Are you sure that she is telling you the

truth?”

Attia’s voice was steady.

“I understand your skepticism. But you didn’t see her condition, Caleb. You didn’t see her back -the scars, the wounds. And my wolf can sense her Alpha blood. We are sure that she’s telling the truth.”
