ARIA

The house was quiet. Too quiet.

I shut the door slowly, trying not to make a sound. Maybe if I moved soft enough, I could make it to my room without anyone seeing—

“Wow.”

I froze.

Daphne leaned against the kitchen counter, wine glass in hand, eyes sharp and smug. “Well, well. Look who finally crawls home. Where were you last night, little coward?”

I frowned.

She tilted her head. “Let me guess. Hiding under your bed while the real hunters went out?”

“I had work,” I muttered, trying to step around her.

“Oh sure. Work. Always your excuse. You conveniently disappear right when we go on a full moon run.”

I kept walking.

She laughed. “Figures. You always run from anything real. Admit it—you were just scared. Again.”

“Daphne.”

Jordan’s voice cut through the room. He stood at the hall’s edge, arms folded.

“That’s enough.”

Daphne scoffed. “Why do you always defend her? She’s not a kid. If she’s gonna sneak off like a rat, she should at least be ready for questions.”

I walked faster, fists

    ARIAHe didn’t say anything else. Just turned and walked toward the door, motioning for me to follow.I hesitated. Just for a second.But when he looked back, his eyes were already darker, more dangerous. I followed.He led me down the hall—silent, smooth steps, like this was routine. Like he’d walked this exact path before.And when we stopped in front of the door, I knew it.It was the same room. The same one I’d stayed in the first time I came here.I stepped inside and he left without another word. The door clicked shut.I didn’t sleep. Not a single minute. Time bled out into nothing. It wasn’t just fear or confusion—my brain refused to shut off.Even after he left, even after the door locked behind him, I just lay there, wide awake, staring at the ceiling like it had answers I needed at the moment.The room was spotless—like someone had come in right before me and scrubbed it top to bottom. Everything looked like it was waiting. Like I was expected.Too neat. Too quiet.And that

    I didn’t move for a long time.Not even after the door clicked shut. Not even when silence wrapped around me like a shroud. I just sat there—still clutching that silver knife like it could protect me, shaking, breathless, my legs folded awkwardly beneath me on the cold floor.What the hell just happened?The image of him—of Knox—burned behind my eyes. That inhuman shift. Those glowing gold eyes. The chains. His voice. His body. God, his body.I forced a shaky breath out and blinked hard. I needed to get out of my head.I needed to get out.My eyes darted around the room in a blur of panic until they landed on something lying by the edge of the shattered restraints. The wristwatch.I crawled to it, fingertips brushing against the cracked face, and my breath caught.I’d been here over an hour. Just sitting there. In shock. Paralyzed by everything I’d seen.What was I doing?Why was I still here?He was a werewolf. A real one. Dangerous, naked, and clearly unstable. I didn’t belong here.

    ARIA The moment his form solidified, all of the confidence, bravery—whatever that was—died an immediate death. I stumbled backward with a soft yelp, my legs refusing to cooperate as my butt met the cold floor again. “Oh—oh my god—” I blinked rapidly, trying to look anywhere but there, but my eyes kept betraying me. He was naked. Fully, gloriously, terrifyingly naked. And aroused. My throat dried up. My thoughts scattered. The rawness of his form—taut muscles slick with sweat, the rise and fall of his broad chest, that sharp line leading down his abdomen to the thick length between his legs—it burned itself into my brain. I didn't mean to look. I really didn't. But I looked. Again. And again. “Shit,” I whispered, dragging my eyes back to his face—just as his gold eyes flickered, beginning to shift back to their usual stormy grey. His jaw clenched. His body… still trembling from the shift as his fists curled at his sides. And then the chains snapped. The loud, bru

    'I shouldn’t be here'I kept telling myself. Yet here I am, in front of Mr Grey's penthouse. I wrapped my fingers tight around the worn leather strap of my bag with the right file inside. It wouldn't had be a big deal but knowing Knox's schedule to send those files over to the board members tomorrow, I rather fix my wrong. But what in earth was I thinking that made me give Manson the wrong file. Gosh!'Come back early. You will be joining the hunt'Wren’s words from this morning intruded my thoughts but I shoved it at the back of my mind. I will head over the moment I'm done.I took a deep breath as I entered the building. I was about to input the code when I noticed the door was unlocked.'Weird' I thought, stepping fully into the house. The place was quiet as though no one was in. "Mr Grey" I called out hoping I wasn't the only being in this place. Silence.No response.My lips pouted as I took a good view of the place. The last time I was here, Knox's presence didn't let me take

    ARIATasha didn’t move. Even after my words cut through her smug little performance, she just stood there and glared. Her knuckles tightened around the folder while her lips pressed into a thin, furious line.I should have known better.The moment her heels clicked against the floor and she turned back toward me, my spine stiffened. The boldness I felt a minute ago vanished as I saw the storm brewing in her eyes. My breath hitched when she stalked toward my desk and stopped inches away.“You must be out of your damn mind,” she hissed. “Who gave you the guts to talk back to me?”My heart pounded hard and fast like a warning bell.She leaned in, her voice sharp enough to cut. “Just because Mr. Grey cornered you doesn’t mean you’re special. He’ll get bored, and when he does, you’ll be nothing but a forgotten distraction.”The words burned, but this time, something inside me refused to shrink back. I wasn’t the same girl who
