Cheating on a Frenzied Alpha, Pregnant with his Child 136
SERENA POVThe door shook again, and I stumbled backwards, clutching Amara so tightly my arms ached.She screamed against my collarbone, her tiny body shuddering."Please," I whispered, not sure whether I was begging the men outside or God. "Not my daughter."Another blow. The lock groaned like something alive.My eyes darted around the secure room and landed on the emergency panel beside the storage cabinet. Daniel had shown me how to use it on our first day, and I had nodded politely, never believing I would need it. I slammed my palm against the button. A red light blinked."Security breach," a recorded voice murmured, unbearably calm."Mrs. Blackwood," a man called through the door, "we're authorised to move you. Stop making this difficult.""Then say the verification phrase!"Silence."That's what I thought," I muttered.The light turned green, and a voice crackled from the speaker. "Mrs. Blackwood, this is Officer Grant. Confirm your location.""Secure room! Two men outside the

SERENA POVThree days after Lucien Voss was arrested, I let myself believe we might finally breathe.The recovery authority had seized the territorial accounts. The council was reviewing the claims of the thirty-two affected households, and investigators were drafting charges against Leonard Pike and everyone tied to Northgate Security Services. Kael's suspension still stood. My father was still under investigation. Adrian only spoke to me through his lawyers now.Nothing was settled, but the worst felt behind us.I was wrong.The call came just after midnight. Daniel answered first, and I watched the colour drain from his face as he listened."Where?" he asked. A pause. "How many?" Another. "Don't engage. Get the families out."He was reaching for his jacket before the call ended."Daniel, what happened?""The recovery authority's records facility. Armed men broke the outer barrier. They're trying to burn the original compensation records.""Voss is in custody.""His network isn't. S

SERENA POV"Where is my father?"Kael's silence lasted several seconds. "At the old Vantage property. The investigators believe Leonard went there to retrieve something.""Then we need to find him.""Serena, the investigators are already moving.""I don't care. He's my father.""And he's a witness in an active criminal investigation. If you go there, you could compromise the operation."I shut my eyes. 'I hate that he's right.'"Have they found Leonard?""His vehicle was abandoned near the property. Nobody's confirmed whether he's still inside.""And Voss?""Emergency council session this afternoon. He wants to present his guardianship proposal before the investigators finish their report."I looked down at Amara, asleep against my arm. "They can't let him.""They may not have grounds to stop the hearing.""Then I'll attend.""Serena...""I'm her mother. If they're discussing her future, I have every right to be in that room."He exhaled, long and tired. "Daniel will arrange remote ac

SERENA POVThe message about Edmund Cross followed me into the new safe house.'Ask your father what happened the night Edmund Cross died.'I couldn't stop thinking about it. My father had admitted knowing Cross. He had admitted he was running from Lucien Voss. But he had never explained why a dead man's signature sat on a document that could destroy the Blackwood family.Daniel stood at the dining table, reading through his investigators' notes. He didn't look up. "There's something you need to see.""Is it good news? I'm allergic to bad news before breakfast.""You haven't had breakfast.""Exactly. I'm vulnerable."He turned his laptop toward me. An old report glowed on the screen: Edmund Cross's accident, with the date, the location, and the official conclusion."His car left the road," Daniel said. "Single-vehicle incident. No criminal investigation, because there was no sign of interference.""Then why would anyone whisper that he was killed?""Because the report says nothing abo

SERENA POVKael's message sat on my screen until the words stopped looking like words.My signature is there. So is the signature of someone who died three years ago.I called him before I could talk myself out of it."Explain.""I'm looking at the original authorisation. The second signature belongs to Edmund Cross."The name meant nothing to me. "Who was he?""Former director of the territorial records office. He died three years ago in a road accident."I sat up too fast, and my ribs punished me for it. "Then how is his signature on something approved recently?""That's what I'm trying to establish. There's a worse problem. The document carries a registration date from three years ago.""Before the transfer.""Long before. Someone prepared this authorisation years before I was ever asked to sign."Daniel slipped into the room and stood quietly by the door."Come here," I said to Kael."I can't. The council has restricted my movements. If I leave, they'll say I'm tampering with evid

SERENA POVThe news reached me before sunrise, and it reached me on a cracked phone screen at the worst possible hour.FORMER BLACKWOOD ADMINISTRATOR RELEASED TO ASSIST IN TERRITORIAL INVESTIGATION.I read the headline twice. Then a third time, in case my eyes were lying to me.'Leonard Pike. Free. The man whose records exposed the diverted funds is walking around in an expensive suit.'"Daniel!"He appeared in my doorway so fast I suspected he had been standing in the corridor with his ear against the wall."You've seen it," he said."Why is Leonard free?""The council claims his testimony is necessary to resolve the transfer scandal. Cooperation agreement.""Cooperation with whom? The people he stole from?""With whoever signs his release papers, apparently."I pushed myself upright, wincing as my ribs complained. "Didn't they already have the financial records?""They did. But the missing annex has created a problem. Leonard claims the document Kael signed contained provisions that
