Even shifted, Cameron was too weak to take on Reginald’s human form in his current state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, Dad. Don’t make this harder than it has to be. I’ll make it quick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The truth hit Cameron like a punch to the gut. He’d been such a fool, placing Reginald on a pedestal, forcing himself to see a son where none existed. No blood connection, no real bond—just his desperate need for an heir blinding him to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a massive mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why the hell would he want a son who craved his death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He should’ve listened to Phoebe. Should’ve believed her when she spoke the truth about Reginald’s darkness. Now he’d pay the price for his blindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here, Dad.\" Reginald stalked closer like a wolf circling wounded prey. \"Why make this difficult?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cameron’s eyes darted around the room. No advantage, even in wolf form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he spotted his only shot. He dragged himself toward the door—closer than Reginald—and shifted back to human form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bastard!\" Cameron’s voice cracked with rage. \"Phoebe was right! You tried to touch her!\" He struggled to his feet, fury giving him strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reginald assumed the old man couldn’t hold his wolf form anymore. That’s why he’d shifted back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A confident smirk spread across Reginald’s face as he approached. His grin stretched wide, claws extending. Time to gut the old fool and bury the secret about Kevin’s planned death forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, Dad. But I’m done playing family.\" Reginald’s head tilted with mock sympathy. \"Alpha Sterling will make a much better stepfather. Losing his precious son should break him nicely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the real game. Kill Kevin, and without Cameron in the picture, getting close to Alpha Sterling would be child’s play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go to hell, Reginald. You’ll die screaming.\" Cameron gripped the door handle, using it to steady himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pathetic. That’s all Reginald saw—a weak, broken old man clinging to life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s finish this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a palace to help destroy. No time to waste on the has-been beta.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reginald lunged forward, claws aimed straight for Cameron’s heart. But the former beta surprised him—shifting mid-attack and raking his claws across Reginald’s face with everything he had left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep gashes opened across Reginald’s chest, sending him crashing to the floor with a howl of agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Cameron had nothing left. The killing blow was beyond him now, his energy spent. He shifted back, human claws useless against Reginald’s thick hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cameron hauled himself up and kicked Reginald away from the door before stumbling out and slamming it shut behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to reach his daughter. Phoebe needed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit.\" His breath came in ragged gasps. The wound on his back healed at a crawl, consciousness threatening to slip away as Reginald’s screams echoed through the empty hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cameron forced his battered body forward, black spots dancing in his vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His daughter. He had to get to Phoebe. Had to apologize for failing her so completely. He couldn’t die. Not yet...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>**Timothy’s POV**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I struggled to hold back the rebels who’d breached the palace gates. Flynn fought beside me while the king led another group of warriors to defend the far wing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d been caught completely off guard. No one expected an attack this coordinated, this deep inside their defenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d known about a spy, but hadn’t imagined so many traitors lived among them. The enemy had planted their people everywhere without detection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Damn it! I can’t tell friend from enemy!* Flynn’s frustration bled through the mindlink as he battled the endless stream of attackers. *There’s no end to them! We might kill our own people by mistake! How do we tell them apart?*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I grunted my agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combat wasn’t Flynn’s strength. He was solid in a fight, but his real talent lay in strategy and politics. Battlefield work was my domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*If they’re trying to kill you, they’re the enemy.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Are you serious right now?*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Do I look like I’m joking?* I dropped two warriors with one brutal combo before pushing my team forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*They’re a distraction.* Flynn’s eye for detail kicked in—something felt wrong about this whole assault. *They’re trying to draw us away from Perry.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence stretched between us as I processed the observation. Flynn was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*I can’t reach Perry through mindlink,* Flynn reported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*He always cuts the connection during battle. Lets his wolf take complete control.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flynn knew this quirk of Perry’s all too well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*That’s dangerous. Perry will go on a killing rampage.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Honestly, at this point, I’m not complaining.*\u003C\u002Fp>",782,"2026-06-06T16:11:22.572Z",1,"novelbin.me","d77368393c544462bb2a3de443c83bc64bdaaa3310888f92ee94cda5600a2d52","marked-by-the-mad-king-alpha-chapter-234","marked-by-the-mad-king-alpha-chapter-233",302,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarked-by-the-mad-king-alpha-cover.jpg"]
