Bella’s POV

“Split up. Cover the exits.”

Draven’s voice carried the particular authority that made circuit guards actually listen despite the chaos still rippling through the crowd, and within minutes we had people moving through every gate, every corridor beneath the stands, searching for a man who’d apparently decided winning his own tournament mattered less than disappearing the moment it ended.

I stayed close to Draven my legs still wobbly from the shift my body carrying the specific tired

    Bella’s POVNot alone turned out to mean three shapes emerging from the treeline, low and wrong, moving with a gait that belonged to nothing I'd ever seen a wolf do."Unfinished shifts," my aunt breathed, already backing us toward better cover. "She warned us. This is what Frey meant."They were wolf-shaped in the way a nightmare is person-shaped, close enough to recognize and wrong enough to make my stomach turn, patches of fur giving way to something smoother and paler in places nature never intended skin to show through like that. Their eyes caught what little moonlight filtered through the canopy, flat and empty in a way that made my skin crawl worse than any snarl could have."How many more of them could be in there," I asked, keeping my voice low."No way to know until we're inside," Draven said. "Which is exactly why we don't waste time out here fighting the ones meant to slow us down instead of stop us.""Positions," he added, sharper now. "Now."We scattered into the formatio

    Bella’s POV"Give me the phone," I said, before my aunt had even fully lowered it from her ear."Bella." Draven's hand closed over my wrist, not stopping me, just steadying me. "Whatever she wants, this is her game. Remember that going in.""I know exactly whose game this is." I took the phone anyway, pressed it to my ear, forced my voice into something calmer than I felt. "This is Bella.""There she is." The voice came through pleasant, unhurried, exactly as I remembered it from the darkened facility corridor. "I confess, I wasn't certain you'd take the call. Most people in your position would let someone else absorb the conversation for them.""What do you want.""Direct. I appreciate that about you, genuinely." A pause, and I could almost hear her considering her next words with the same careful precision she brought to everything else. "I want you to understand the shape of tonight before you commit to it. You're planning to come for your two guests. I know this because I know you

    Draven’s POVThree words shouldn't have been able to fracture a room the way those three did."She's still breathing." Bella's hand shook as she held the phone out, the light from the screen washing pale across her face. "For now.""They're taunting us," I said, though the words felt thinner than I wanted them to be. "They want us panicked, rushing in before we're ready.""It's working," Bella said. "I hate that it's working, but it's working."I pulled her against my chest, felt the tremor running through her that she'd been holding back all night through sheer will alone, and let her stay there a moment before either of us had to be strong for the rest of the house again."Four hours," I said quietly, into her hair. "We hold to four hours. Whatever they're hoping to provoke, we don't give it to them."Headlights swept across the kitchen window before she could answer, and every head in the room turned toward the sound of tires on gravel outside."That's Ronan," Gordon said, already

    Bella’s POVThe face on the screen wasn't Jennifer's, and for one disorienting second I couldn't place why that felt worse instead of better.It was the elder.She sat in a chair, hands bound in front of her, her face bruised in places it hadn't been when Frey walked her to the guest room hours ago. Behind her, tile stretched pale and industrial under harsh fluorescent light, the same pattern my aunt had spent the last hour tracing back to a single facility."They're together," Draven said, voice flat with the effort of keeping it that way. "Wherever Jennifer is, the elder's there too."The video had no sound this time, just twelve silent seconds of the elder staring directly into the camera, something deliberate and steady in her expression despite the bruising, like she was trying to communicate something the video itself couldn't carry."Why send this at all," Thor asked. "If they wanted to scare us, showing Jennifer again would've been more effective. Why the elder instead.""Mayb

    Draven‘s POVThe word cut off, and the silence that followed was worse than the sound itself. "Play it again," I said."Draven." Bellas hand found my wrist, gentle urgent. "Maybe we should not not away not until we have had a second to think about what we are looking for.""I know exactly what I am looking for." I forced my voice to be level because I did not want to break in front of everyone standing in this kitchen least of all Jennifer. "I am looking for anything, behind Jennifer. A sound, a light, a reflection, anything that tells us where Jennifer is of just that Jennifer is scared."I played it again. Jennifers face filled the screen, pale a bruise already blooming along one cheekbone Jennifers eyes darting somewhere off camera before the video ended exactly where it had before Jennifers voice snapping off mid-syllable like someone had reached out and simply switched Jennifers volume to nothing.There. Gordon leaned in his finger stopping the video. "Pause it. That background—o

    Bella’s POV"Simply wasn't there anymore" isn't a real explanation, and I said so before I could stop myself."I know how it sounds." Thor braced a hand against the doorframe still catching his breath, sweat and dirt streaked across his jaw from the shift and the run. "I am telling you what I found. A clean trail, twenty feet and then nothing. No scent break. No struggle. It is like she stepped off the edge of the world.""Or something erased the trail behind her " my aunt said. "There are ways to mask a scent, methods the kind operatives were trained in before most packs stopped bothering with that kind of subtlety. If someone wants to make a trail disappear cleanly they would know how.""Then that someone has training." Draven had eased Frey into the chair by then. He straightened to look at my aunt directly something hard settling into his expression. "Training that specific does not belong to opportunists. It belongs to the organization that is hunting bloodlines for generations d
