Knox's POV

I heard her voice through two walls of concrete and didn't think, just moved, cutting through the first man who stepped into my path with a strike that dropped him before he'd fully registered that I was there.

"Calla!" I shouted it again, tearing down the hallway, another shape rising up fast from a side door, this one swinging something metal straight toward my head.

I twisted, caught most of the blow on my forearm instead of my skull, and felt it connect with a force that shouldn'

    Daven's POVElder Whitfield requested an unscheduled audience the same morning I'd planned to spend making sure Calla was actually eating something, and I knew before I sat down across from him that whatever he wanted to say wasn't going to be small."Alpha." He inclined his head, formal in a way he rarely bothered with anymore, not since the first year I'd taken the title. "Thank you for making time.""You said it couldn't wait." I sat across from him in my study, forcing my posture into something steady despite the exhaustion still dragging at every part of me. "So say what you came to say.""Last night's events have reached the full council." He folded his hands on the table between us, careful, deliberate. "A kidnapping. A fire. Five men, including yourself, storming a location that appears on no pack map, human or otherwise. That's a difficult thing to keep quiet, Daven, even if you wanted to.""I wasn't trying to keep it quiet. I was trying to get my mate back alive." My voice c

    Calix's POVWarren caught me in the hallway outside the boardroom, expression already apologetic before he'd said a single word, and I knew before he opened his mouth that whatever he was about to tell me was going to ruin the morning I hadn't even started yet."Calix. Got a minute before we head in?"He led me into the empty conference room next to us rather than wait for a response, shutting the door behind us with a gentle slam that spoke to me of the desire to not do this in front of others more than whatever urgency he might be feeling."Warren, we have five minutes before we are expected in. Whatever this is, can it wait until after?""It really can't." He set a folder down on the table, sliding it toward me without opening it himself. "You need to see this before you walk into that room, not after."I opened it, and felt my stomach drop somewhere around the second page. Screenshots. Financial reporting websites and industry message boards, a trail of leaked documents following

    Knox's POVThe phone rang at seven in the morning, polite and official in a way that put me on edge before I'd even said hello, and by the time the call ended, ten years of building something with my own two hands had started coming apart in real time."Mr. Blackthorn, this is First Meridian regarding your commercial line of credit." The woman's voice stayed friendly, professional, entirely unbothered by what she was actually saying. "We're writing to inform you that your financing has been withdrawn, effective immediately.""Withdrawn." I sat up straighter at the kitchen table, coffee suddenly forgotten in the mug in front of me, muscles contracting all over simultaneously. "I've had that account for six years. Never fallen behind on a bill, never been in danger of doing so.""I empathize with you, sir, but I am unable to comment about the individual rationale of the bank's decision." Her tone remained maddeningly even. "You will be receiving paperwork in the mail within five busines

    Calla's POVI still hadn't slept when I pulled up outside Jade's building the next morning, exhaustion sitting heavy behind my eyes.The first thing I saw climbing out of my car stopped me cold on the sidewalk.Yellow notices, taped to nearly every door along the block, fluttering in the early wind like some kind of warning nobody had bothered to explain yet."Cal!" Jade came down the front steps fast, arms crossed tight against the morning chill, one of the notices clutched in her hand. "There's one on my door too. Code enforcement. I have no idea what any of this is about; my apartment's fine.""How many units got one?" I glanced down the block, counting the yellow paper fluttering off nearly every door I could see."Almost all of them, near as I can tell. Everyone's out here comparing notes." Jade gestured toward a cluster of neighbors further down the sidewalk, phones out, voices raised in confused irritation. "Except mine's apparently the only one that's actually specific. Everyo

    Calla's POVI walked into my apartment still smelling like smoke, the adrenaline only just starting to drain out of my legs, and the first thing that greeted me wasn't relief.It was my laptop screen, still open on the counter from that morning, one new email glowing at the top of my inbox.Ashgrove Consulting: Administrative Notice.I set my bag down slowly, some instinct already bracing for whatever waited inside it, and opened it standing up, still in the same clothes I'd been kidnapped in twelve hours earlier.'Dear Ms Rhys, Due to a security breach relating to your safety, Ashgrove Consulting is suspending you from your role on administrative grounds until further internal analysis. This is not a dismissal. Please do not sign on to any organisation systems or touch any client information until further notice.'"Oh, for God's sake." I read the message again, and a third time, wishing the words would somehow make themselves into less stupid phrases. They didn't.Twelve hours ago, I

    Calla's POVI drove the second man back with a burst of light that left my whole arm shaking, and turned in time to see Calix and Knox stumbling across the clearing toward me, smoke pouring out of the building behind them, and for one full second nothing else in the world existed except the fact that both of them were still standing."Knox!" I ran the last few steps, catching his other side as his knees threatened to buckle, sharing his weight between me and Calix. "What happened to him?""Long story. He's okay." Calix's voice was tight, controlled in a way that meant he was holding something back for later. "Are you hurt? Tell me the truth.""I'm fine. I got myself out." Something in my own voice surprised me. It was steadier than I expected given everything. "I need to find the others. Where's Daven? where's Soren?""Here." Daven's voice cut across the clearing before I finished the question, and then he was there, hands on my face, checking me over with a desperation he wasn't both
