Chapter 204

JANICE

"Perfect," I said. "Once you have access, you'll need to dose the wine with this." I slid the vial of wolfsbane across the table. "Three drops in each glass—enough to incapacitate without being immediately fatal. We want them helpless, not dead. Not yet."

Cassandra pocketed the vial smoothly. "And the rogues? When do they strike?"

"Thirty minutes into the ceremony," I said. "That gives enough time for Damon and Isabella to drink the wine, for the wolfsbane to take effect, for security to be focused on the ritual itself rather than potential external threats. The rogues will come in from four different directions simultaneously—north, south, east, west. Maximum chaos, minimal time for organized response."

"And you?" Cassandra asked. "Where will you be during all this?"

"In the forest," I said. "Close enough to watch, to make sure everything goes according to plan. To step in personally if needed. And once Isabella and Lucas are dead, once the rogues have been driven

"Three drops in each glass—enough to incapacitate without being immediately fatal. We want them helpless, not dead. Not yet."Cassandra pocketed the vial smoothly. "And the rogues?

    Chapter 203JANICE "You're talking about killing a child," Cassandra said, but there was no judgment in her voice. Just flat statement of fact. "A five-year-old boy who happens to be the son of a Prime Alpha. That's not going to be easy.""Nothing worth doing is easy," I said. "But yes, Lucas has to die. It's unfortunate, but necessary. And honestly, he's so attached to Isabella that leaving him alive would just complicate everything. He'd never accept me as a maternal figure, would probably spend years trying to sabotage any relationship I built with Damon.""Fair point," Cassandra conceded. "What about Tommy and Sean? My sons—well, Max's sons technically, though I raised them. Are they targets too?""They can live," I said. "In fact, killing them would be counterproductive. Once Isabella is dead, once Lucas is eliminated, you and Max can reclaim the twins. Use Damon's devastation and distraction to push through the custody challenge. He won't have the emotional energy to fight you

    Chapter 202JANICE I sat in the dimly lit café on the edge of neutral territory, my fingers drumming impatiently against the scarred wooden table. The location was deliberately chosen—far enough from any major pack's territory that we wouldn't be immediately detected, rundown enough that supernatural beings conducting questionable business wouldn't stand out among the other patrons who clearly had their own secrets to hide.I'd been waiting for twenty minutes, nursing a coffee that had gone cold, when she finally walked in.Cassandra Henderson moved through the café like she owned it, her designer outfit somehow managing to look elegant even in this dump of an establishment. She was beautiful in that sharp, calculated way that came from years of using her appearance as a weapon. Cool blonde hair, ice-blue eyes, a figure maintained through rigid discipline rather than natural genetics.She was also, from everything I'd learned about her, a complete bitch.Perfect. We'd get along wonde

    Chapter 201KYLE"You won't," I assured her. "Trust me, Isabella. You're stronger than you think. And Damon clearly adores you—that's obvious to anyone with functioning eyes. The pack will accept you because he accepts you, and because you've already proven yourself by taking in those three boys and loving them like they're your own."She smiled at that, some of the tension leaving her shoulders. "Thank you. I needed to hear that." She paused, then added carefully, "And Kyle? I'm happy for you. About Darius. I know your situation is complicated with your family and Evelyn, but you deserve to be happy. You deserve to have someone who treats you well.""Thank you," I said quietly, feeling emotion clog my throat. "That means a lot."Before the moment could get too heavy, we heard raised voices from somewhere else in the house. Damon's voice, raised in what sounded like argument. Another voice I didn't recognize responding with equal heat.

    Chapter 200KYLE"Why not?" Sean asked, genuine curiosity in his voice. "Mama says we should ask questions when we want to learn things. And I want to learn about mating because we're going to have to do it someday and nobody explains it properly.""Because it's private," Isabella said firmly, though I could see her struggling not to laugh at my mortification. "And Kyle doesn't have to answer personal questions about his relationship just because you're curious.""But he's a Beta mated to a Prime Enigma," Tommy said, like this was a fascinating scientific phenomenon. "That's really rare. I read about it in one of the pack history books. Betas usually mate with other Betas or sometimes Alphas, but Prime Enigmas almost always choose Alphas or Omegas. So Kyle must be really special for Darius to pick him.""I didn't—we didn't—" I stammered, completely at a loss for how to handle this conversation. "It's not about one person picking the oth

    Chapter 199KYLE"Damon is one," she explained. "And apparently so is Darius. But nobody will give me straight answers about what that actually means beyond 'very powerful' and 'intense instincts.' I've been doing research, but most of what I find is either clinical and unhelpful or completely pornographic and probably exaggerated."Despite my embarrassment, I felt a laugh bubble up. "Yeah, the online information about Prime Enigmas is either really dry academic papers or really explicit erotica. There's not much middle ground.""So help me understand," Isabella said earnestly. "What does it actually mean? What should I expect when Damon and I complete the Luna ceremony?"I took a deep breath, trying to organize my thoughts. This was actually something I could help with—I'd done extensive research on Prime Enigmas after meeting Darius, trying to understand what I was dealing with."Okay, so Prime Enigmas are rare," I started. "Like, really rare. Most packs only produce one every few g
