Matthias’ POV

Fucking hell, this was a disaster.

Dominic’s home was currently filled with overheard discussions, the sounds of sobbing and it gave me a damn headache.

A growl left my lips and I longed for a run through the forest.

But I also felt the exhaustion of the day, from the activities all morning to the uproariously exciting engagement banquet tonight.

Kael walked a step behind me as I left the house.

He was truly foolish, I thought, pressing two fingers to my temple and massaging it wh

    “That is already being handled,” I stated, signalling for silence while also recalling that this very same person speaking up, had, upon seeing the number of guards I took with me, muttered under his breath that we were small in number.I didn't need to explain, I only needed to win.I split them up into three groups: one with me through the forest.I took the lead, and cut through the forest like a knife, each step accompanied by speed and stealth.It was the shortest path to the group of rogues that surrounded the Greyhound pack.I caught the first one. Without even giving him a chance to raise an alarm, I silenced him with a swipe of my hands, which had half-shifted into claws that would easily slice through flesh.The more we took down and the closer we got to the center of the pack, the louder the sounds of whimpering and low, threatening growls got.By the time we had taken down the fifth rogue on our end, the second and third groups emerged. Each had been sent to fight their

    Matthias’ POVFucking hell, this was a disaster.Dominic’s home was currently filled with overheard discussions, the sounds of sobbing and it gave me a damn headache.A growl left my lips and I longed for a run through the forest.But I also felt the exhaustion of the day, from the activities all morning to the uproariously exciting engagement banquet tonight.Kael walked a step behind me as I left the house.He was truly foolish, I thought, pressing two fingers to my temple and massaging it while we walked.“What’s the status of the party crasher?” I asked.Kael began to give a report, succinct and collected, “He is currently still in custody. I have ordered a full-scale investigation to verify his identity.” He paused then added, “I do however think it will not yield any further information we don’t already know.”I understood, and I also agreed.For that man to come to the party was one thing, but if he didn’t have enough evidence or didn't stand on the moral high ground, he would

    Dominic tried to speak, “Father, this concerns the reputation of our family. If we do not-” “You mean, it concerns YOUR reputation, Dominic.” Matthias cut his son short. “You made your decision, and I have not pushed back on it. You and Vivienne Ashford will get married. There is no turning back. But asking Keira to take the blame and try to brush things aside is not an option. You will not dare bring her into this.” Dominic’s lips curled, and I could see it, the bitterness.Vivienne let out a broken, harsh sound, and was about to press the knife to her throat again when suddenly, someone moved past in a flash.The knife clattered to the ground, and two guards held onto Vivienne who began to wail louder. Cordelia panicked. She turned to me and knelt, KNELT, clasping her hands together. It was a trembling show of piety, of penance and of pleading. Something I had never expected, but was wholly unsurprised at. Cordelia knew how to put

    Keira’s POV The fun was over. I leaned closer to his side, my hand curling over his large bicep. “So, what did you think?” I asked, my tone a little teasing. But he didn't respond. In fact he seemed to not hear me at all, as if I had been just air. The silence stretched for five more seconds before I felt a lump in my throat. So he WAS angry. From my vantage point I could see the guests slowly exiting the hall, a few only left, discussing the events of tonight Ike they were entertainment and not the wreckages of someone's life. I felt a stirring of guilt, just a little. Had I really gone too far, after all? Just when I thought nothing else would happen, I heard frantic, fast footsteps bounding towards us. “Alpha,” a man in a suit rushed to us. He bowed, stopping just short of Matthias. The man looked familiar; was he not one of Dominic's aides? “Alpha, something’s happening. Please Master Dominic demands your presence.” The man gasped, keeping his head bowed. Thank the G

    Keira’s POV“No,” Vivienne’s croaky voice made my ears prick. She had two visible streaks of tears on her face, and her previously elegant makeup and glamorous look appeared to be more like a mask the longer time passed. “I… I didn't…”She tried to push past the guards again but it was useless.Dominic turned and stared at her. I wasn't sure the lock he gave her, but seeing her expression crumble like that, gave me a bit of undeniable satisfaction.“That’s all lies,” Cordelia spoke in defense of her daughter.I smirked bitterly; I had expected her to defend her beloved daughter no matter what she did, so this was not surprising.“You were paid,” Cordelia pointed at Caleb, her eyes flashing with malice. “To come here and spout lies, were you not? Tell me, was it Keira who paid you, or someone else?”I heard a low growl by my side. Matthis’ reaction was open but it didn't stop the dread that pooled in my gut.Of course, she would never give up an attempt for her to“Who the hell is Keir

    LYDIA'S POV I was working when Lucas appeared in my office doorway on a Tuesday afternoon. He had his jacket on already with a sharp look that meant he had an idea. "Good afternoon," I greeted him before my eyes went back to my fingers typing away at lightning speed on the keyboard below. "Good afternoon to you too," he returned the greeting with anal amused tone. I said nary a word. Neither did he for a minute or two. The sound of my typing filled the room in the unexpected silence for a while. "There is a bookstore downtown," he finally said. "It is a vintage place." A small grunt of acknowledgement slipped past my mouth to tell him I was listening. He carried on. "It has been open for about fifty years and it is closing this weekend with a final sale." That was the moment I finally looked up from my computer screen. "Okay?" My hands still remained on the keyboard set as if to continue at any moment. "You mentioned to me one time that you always did take a liking t
