เข้าสู่ระบบThird person POV The underground halls shook with tension as the masked men pushed Valeric toward freedom. His steps were deliberate, his broad shoulders cutting through the torchlight, every movement carrying the authority of a man who had been caged too long. Chains no longer bound him, and the air of confinement seemed to shatter around him as the intruders guided him upward. The mission had gone smoothly so far. Too smoothly. Silent bodies of guards lay sprawled in the corners, their eyes closed in eternal stillness, gas still clinging faintly to the air. The corridors were silent but for the soft scuff of boots and the muted clink of weapons. The leader of the masked men raised a hand, signaling the others to slow. Something wasn’t right. His instincts screamed caution as they neared the exit toward the outer grounds. The air felt heavier, charged, as though danger lurked just beyond the stone walls. They reached the wide corridor that connected the underground passage to t
Third person POV The night settled over the pack house with deceptive calm, cloaking the sprawling estate in silence. Lanterns glowed faintly along the paths, guards patrolled with routine precision, and the vast building itself stood proud, every shadow watched, every corner under supposed control. Yet beneath that veil of order, danger crept closer. The masked men had prepared for weeks, studying the patterns of the guards, learning which routes were most traveled and which cameras left the smallest blind spots. They knew who changed shifts at what hour, which guards lingered too long for a smoke, which doors were rarely locked despite orders. And tonight, with most of the inner circle distracted at the grand company party, their moment had come. From the tree line at the edge of the estate, dark figures emerged. Cloaked, masked, moving with the precision of soldiers who had rehearsed every step. Their boots barely made a sound against the earth, and the wind swallowed what li
Colt's POV The box sat on the table like a silent dare. I had been expecting it since last night, when the messenger whispered through the door that a delivery would arrive before dawn. He didn’t linger—just left the words hanging in the air, along with the certainty that if I opened the door too quickly, I’d find no one there. And now here it was. A plain, square container, brown tape running along the edges, no markings except the small insignia on the corner—a wolf’s head drawn in faint ink, eyes glaring upward. It was subtle enough that no one without knowledge would notice it, but to me it was the signal I had been waiting for. I closed the door to my chambers, twisted the lock until it clicked, and walked to the table. My fingers hovered over the box for a second, savoring the anticipation. Then I tore into the tape, ripping it back, piece by piece, until the lid loosened. Inside lay the suit. Black, sharp, pressed with precision. The material wasn’t just expensive—it wa
Nikolai's POV I never trusted quiet mornings, not in this house, not with everything circling us like vultures waiting for a corpse to hit the ground. Quiet mornings meant someone was out there, sharpening knives while we sipped tea and convinced ourselves the walls were strong enough to keep enemies out. That was why, before the sun even reached its full height in the sky, I was already in the training yard with the guards, barking orders like my life depended on it. In truth, it wasn’t just my life—every soul under this roof, every man and woman working at the company, every wolf wearing our crest depended on us not failing. “Form up!” I shouted, my voice cutting across the courtyard like a whip. The guards snapped into lines, boots stomping against the dirt. Some looked eager, others bleary-eyed, but I didn’t care. Discipline was discipline, and they would learn to wake up with sharpness in their bones or they would leave the post. I paced in front of them, hands behind my ba
Killian's POV I woke up earlier than usual, long before the rest of the house stirred. The silence of dawn wrapped around me like a cloak, pressing heavy and sharp, and I knew today wouldn’t be one of those easy days I could push through without thinking. The company party loomed over us all, but my instincts told me there was more to worry about than wine glasses and polished speeches. My gut rarely failed me, and this morning, it screamed of foul play. I rolled out of bed, stretched, and padded over to the desk in my room. The small lamp on it flickered weakly when I turned it on, casting shadows across the wood. I reached for the notepad hidden in the false bottom of the drawer, pulled it out, and grabbed a pen. Messages couldn’t be sent openly—not when eyes lingered on everything I did—so I wrote in ciphers, the kind only two or three people alive could understand. Short, clipped, disguised as nonsense. *Ravens circle the south. Nets must be stronger. The hound hides bones whe
Rhett's POV The scent of brewed coffee lingered in the kitchen, curling through the air like a soft promise. I set the tray down on the counter, making sure everything was neatly arranged—the eggs, toast, sausages, and a small bowl of fruit. I even added a glass of fresh orange juice. It wasn’t often I took the time to prepare breakfast myself, but for Declan, I found myself doing things I never imagined. I told myself it was to keep him calm, to ease him into the day, but deep down, I knew it was more than that. I wanted him to look at me and not see just the Alpha who locked him in, not the enemy he painted me as. I wanted him to see the man who cared, who would put the world on fire if it meant keeping him breathing. And maybe, just maybe, I wanted him to smile at me without bitterness in his eyes. Balancing the tray with one hand, I picked up the tuxedo draped over my arm. Black, tailored, sharp enough to cut, the kind of suit that screamed command even without words. I had g
