Aside from the electricity cutting out across the North pack again, there had been eight separate electrocution incidents inside the packhouse alone.
Two innocent workers had been struck by stray lightning outside.
Five others were shocked senseless just by reaching for a doorknob.
And the last unfortunate soul had been standing near a power source at the wrong time and learned the hard way what "high voltage" really meant.
Thankfully, no one had died—yet. But it was safe to say everyone in the North pack was praying for the mating fever to be over soon. At this rate, it wasn't just their nerves on the line. Their lives were at stake.
But that was the least of their problems that night. Alpha Caspian's arrival alone, paired with the crushing tension in the air, confirmed the situation was not just serious, it was dire.
