The first week without a crisis felt suspicious. There were no hunters. No council hearings. No formal, heavy-sealed letters arriving at the worst possible moments. No Karla. No board emergencies. No late-night, threatening texts from numbers that didn't exist when I tried to trace them.

Just the villa. The grounds. The ordinary thrum of a life that had stopped being ordinary so long ago, I’d nearly forgotten what the feeling of normalcy was supposed to be.

    CLARA“You weren’t supposed to find that yet.”The words left my mouth before I could think of anything better to say.Mara stood frozen over the open box. Soren hadn’t moved either. The photograph sat beneath the silver chain, its corners soft from years of handling. The letters carved into the underside of the lid were impossible to ignore.S + C.Her eyes moved from the box to me, then to Soren. “Were you together?”Soren looked at me. I knew that look the way I used to know the sound of his footsteps in the dark. Twenty years ago I could finish his sentences before he spoke them. Now I simply waited.“Yes,” he said.Mara’s grip on the box tightened. “How long?”He let out a slow breath. “Almost three years.”She took that in without flinching, and turned to me. “Did you love each other?”I could have looked away, but didn’t. “Yes.”Soren answered at the same mome

    SOREN“Two knocks. Then wait.”Clara’s voice came from the kitchen. Soren paused at the door, listening to the quiet sound inside. A small smile touched his mouth before he walked in.Clara stood by the counter with two mugs, steam rising in thin ribbons. She pushed one toward him without looking up. Soren tapped the rim twice. She tapped twice in return. After a brief pause she tapped once. “You still remember,” he said.“Of course I remember.” She lifted her mug. “To surviving another day.”He touched his against hers. “To surviving another day.”She took a sip. He did the same. It was such a small thing that should have disappeared somewhere in the twenty years between then and now, but it hadn’t.She reached for the cinnamon on his saucer. He caught her wrist before her fingers closed around it. “You still do that.”She looked at his hand around her wrist, then at him. “You still leave it there.”

    NOVAI knew bringing Darius home was a bad idea the moment my mother opened the door and looked at him for three full seconds without saying hello.Then she looked at me. Then back at him. The silence stretched long enough for me to feel every second of it against the back of my neck.“Come in.”Darius gave her a polite nod. “Thank you.”I slipped my hand into his before we crossed the threshold. His fingers closed around mine immediately, which my mother noticed. She stepped aside and we walked into the house. The familiar scent and the faint trace of my father’s tobacco drifted in the air the moment the door closed. I leaned closer to Darius while we were still in the narrow entryway. “Still time to run.”His mouth twitched. “You’re the one who brought me here.”“I know. I’m regretting my choices.”He glanced down at our joined hands. “Too late.”I smiled despite the nerves tighten

    ARIAThe room stayed silent after Noah said Victor’s name.Nobody seemed willing to be the first to move. Victor finally looked away from the closed laptop. “I should explain.”“No,” Damian said.He frowned, already shifting his weight toward the door as if the word itself had given him permission to leave.“Not here.” Damian’s voice left no room. “Noah, secure the archive. Soren, Clara, go with him. Victor, you’re coming too.”Victor’s eyes found mine across the space between us. I held his gaze long enough for him to see that I was not asking for comfort and not offering any either. “Go.”He nodded once and followed the others out. Within minutes the room emptied. I exhaled. “Finally.”Damian looked at me. “You okay?”I smiled faintly. “I’m tired.”His expression softened at once, the sharp line of his shoulders easing slightly. “Come here.”I stepped into his arms. He wrap

    ARIAThe file was still open on the table when Soren said the name.“Project Silver Dawn.”I stared at him. “Say that again.”He didn’t. Instead, he reached across the table and closed the folder. Damian’s chair scraped against the floor. “What exactly is Silver Dawn?”Soren looked at him. “Something that should have died twenty-three years ago.”My fingers tightened around the edge of the table. “Then tell me what it was.”Soren’s jaw tightened, but he said nothing.Victor stood near the window. He hadn’t moved since we opened the folder. “Victor?”His eyes met mine. “Yeah?”“You know what Silver Dawn is.”A long second passed.Damian turned toward him. “Victor.”His expression hardened. “I know the name.”“That isn’t what she asked.”I pushed my chair back. “Stop.”The room fell silent.I stood and lo

    ARIAThe first thing I noticed when I walked into the breakfast room was that everyone stopped talking immediately.Mara’s fork froze halfway to her mouth. Soren looked into his coffee like it had answers. Clara became deeply interested in the fruit bowl. My Dad, mid-sentence about a contractor, simply… stopped.I stood in the doorway as Damian looked at me, then I glanced around at everyone else. “What?”No one answered.I narrowed my eyes. “Why did everyone just go silent?”Dad cleared his throat. “Good morning.”“That is not an answer.”Mara set her fork down. “You’re showing.”I looked down at myself. Loose black trousers. One of Damian’s old shirts, the hem falling over my waist. “I’m not showing.”“You are.”“No.”“Yes.”“I checked.”Soren lifted his coffee. “You checked inc

    The bar was thick with smoke, whiskey, and that sharp werewolf musk that made my skin prickle.I was already on my feet, boots planted unevenly on the sticky floor, swaying just enough to know the liquor had won. The room started to spin a little, as lights shone amber and red across dark booths. M

    I should have known something was wrong when the pavilion lights were still on at 1:17 a.m.By tradition, the place should have been empty—dark, silent, waiting for tomorrow’s vows. Instead, golden light leaked from backstage, and low, breathy sounds drifted out. Laughter. A growl. A voice I knew t

    RHEAI watched Aria from across the small training room in the villa’s lower level, my healer’s instincts picking up the subtle shifts in her energy. The girl was stronger than she realized, the ancient blood in her veins stirring faster than anyone had anticipated. It was unpr

    The door’s click echoed in the high foyer like a lock snapping shut.The space opened wide—polished stone floor reflecting slanted afternoon light, high ceilings that made every sound bounce, glass walls that turned the outside world into a muted painting of green lawns and distant trees. It smelle
