LENAThe new lead took Aaron and me back into the records surrounding Raina’s death, and this time we stopped looking only at the people who had direct connections to Gary. We traced every person who had handled information after the investigation began, comparing names from police notes, building records, legal correspondence, and the private contacts connected to Zain’s family.One name kept appearing where it should not have been. He was not part of Zain’s immediate family, but he had worked closely with them for years and had access to information that should have remained with the investigators handling Raina’s case.“What did he do with it?” I asked.Aaron slid another document toward me. “We do not know yet, but several details disappeared after he received them.”I read the page twice, feeling my fingers tighten around the edge. “So someone close to Zain’s family helped hide what happened to Raina.”“It looks that way.”“Looks?” I asked, looking at him.“We still need proof b

LENAThe files we had spread across the dining table no longer looked like separate pieces of a murder investigation, a family attack, and a business conspiracy because the same names kept appearing in places where they had no business being together. I ran my finger down one of the old records while Aaron stood beside me, and the more connections we found between the people who destroyed his family and the people circling my sister’s death, the harder it became to believe that our marriage had brought us into this mess by accident.“We stop working around each other and start working together,” Aaron said, pulling a chair toward the table. “If Gary is involved, we need to watch what moves through his businesses, his private meetings, and the people he trusts without letting him know we are looking.”I looked at him for a moment before closing the file in front of me. “Then we do it properly, because I am not sitting in this house while you take every risk and bring me the answers af

The Marriage We Didn't PlanLENAI kept Raina's final warning beside me while Aaron and I went through everything we had collected, reading the sentence again whenever my thoughts started moving too fast. If someone had been watching Raina because of what she discovered about the Blackwood family, then her murder had never been only about silencing her, because whoever did it had also been protecting whatever secret they feared she would reveal about me.Aaron sat across from me with several old files open in front of him, his attention moving between the documents and the note. “We need to find out why your bloodline matters to them,” he said, and the seriousness in his voice told me he had already decided this was no longer something we could leave for later.“I need to know what Raina knew first.”“We can do both.”I looked at him over the top of the file. “You said that last time.”“And I was right.”“You were also very annoying.”A small smile appeared on his face. “You still ma

LENAI read the three words again, hoping I had misunderstood Raina's handwriting, but the words remained exactly where I had seen them: ''The Blackwood bloodline.'' My stomach tightened because Raina had spent months investigating people connected to Zain's family and Gary, yet she had also been digging into something about our own family that she had never once mentioned to me.Aaron stood across the table, watching my face rather than the document. “Let me help you trace it.”“I will,” I said, closing the folder.His eyebrows rose. “That sounded like a no.”“It means I'll trace it myself.”“Lena.”“I need to know what Raina found before anyone else tells me what it means.”He looked like he wanted to argue, but after everything that happened in the records room, he seemed to think better of it. “Fine, but you're not doing it alone.”I looked at him for a moment before nodding. “You can help me find the records, but I want to read them myself.”We started with the oldest Alpha arch

AARONI stood outside the records room and looked at the papers scattered across the floor, already knowing this had nothing to do with money because the intruder had ignored every valuable thing in the room. The files they had touched all concerned my family's downfall, the attack that nearly destroyed the Kranes, and the information Lena and I had collected about Raina's death.I crouched beside one of the open drawers and checked the folders inside, finding them disturbed but complete. Whoever had entered had been looking for information, and the fact that nothing was missing bothered me more than if they had taken something.Lena stood a few feet behind me, still in the robe she had thrown on after waking, and I immediately wanted her away from the room. My wolf pushed forward with a sharp warning, reacting to the possibility that whoever had searched my records might already know where she slept.“Go back upstairs,” I said.Her eyebrows pulled together. “Excuse me?”“I need secu

LENAI stared at the photograph on my phone until Aaron pulled a chair beside mine, and neither of us spoke for several seconds because Raina’s face was clear enough to leave no room for doubt. The timestamp in the corner showed 8:17 p.m., only a few hours before the official time of her death, and I kept thinking about how different that night might have been if I had known she was being watched.Aaron took the phone from me and enlarged the image, moving through the background one section at a time. “There,” he said, pointing toward a dark vehicle parked across the street, and when I leaned closer, I saw a small silver marking near the rear light.He recognized it before I did, and the change in his expression made me sit up. The vehicle had been connected to men who were present around the time his family’s estate was attacked years ago, and Aaron said the same vehicle had appeared in an old security report he had kept because he never understood why it had been there.I looked b
