Avalon's POV

The messenger arrives during breakfast. A Lycan official I don't recognize, his expression carefully neutral in that way that means he's delivering bad news.

"Avalon Ravenscrest?" he asks formally.

"Yes." I set down my fork, already knowing this won't be good.

"I regret to inform you that your father, Lord Marcus Ravenscrest, has died in Lycan custody."

The words hit me like a physical blow. I hear them, understand them intellectually, but they don't feel real. My father is dead. The man who dominated my entire life, whose approval I chased desperately, whose disappointment shaped every choice I made - gone.

"How?" My voice sounds distant to my own ears.

"He took his own life during the night. Guards discovered him this morning." The messenger's tone remains professionally sympathetic. "He left a note. Would you like to see it?"

I nod numbly. He hands me a sealed envelope bearing my father's handwriting. Just seeing those familiar letters makes my throat tight.

    During the next round of interrogations, a different conspirator - a research director named Dr. Carver - reveals something that shatters my understanding of my parents' role."The Blackwood couple," she says when I ask about my parents' involvement. "They were unusual collaborators. They insisted on controlling their research independently, wouldn't allow oversight or coordination with other facilities.""Because they wanted exclusive access to me," I say bitterly."No." Dr. Carver looks at me directly. "Because they were documenting everything. Every abuse, every violation, every facility location and participant. They were building a case to expose the entire conspiracy."I freeze. "What?""They conducted controlled research on you to satisfy the conspiracy's demands and maintain their cover. But they were secretly working to bring down the whole operation." She slides a data chip across the table. "This contains their documentation. Years of evidence they compiled while pretending

    Jason's POVThe interrogation room is cold and sterile, designed to be uncomfortable for the prisoners sitting across from me. Lord Blackmoor looks smaller here than he did in the reports, diminished by suppression cuffs and the weight of his crimes. But his eyes still hold calculation, constantly assessing what he can gain from this conversation."An omega," he says when I enter with Commander Hayes. "They're sending an omega to interrogate me?""I'm here to provide perspective on the experiments you funded," I say, keeping my voice level. "To help you understand what you actually did to people like me."Something flickers across his face. Guilt? Discomfort? It's hard to tell. "I never personally conducted experiments. I just provided financial support for research—""You funded torture." I sit down across from him, meeting his eyes directly. "Let's be clear about what your 'research funding' actually paid for. Tell me about the facilities. How many omegas were processed through them

    Ivan's POVThe briefing room is packed with thirty elite Lycan warriors, all handpicked for this operation. We're arresting several high-ranking werewolf officials implicated in the omega experimentation conspiracy - lords, council members, pack alphas with private armies. This is dangerous and politically volatile, the kind of operation that could spark conflicts destabilizing multiple territories. But it has to be done."Target locations confirmed," Commander Hayes announces, marking the map with swift, efficient movements. "Simultaneous raids across six territories. We move at dawn."My father stands at the back of the room, silent and observing. Marcus Volkov insisted on accompanying this mission, testing my command under his direct observation. The weight of his scrutiny presses against my shoulders, but I force myself to focus on the warriors assembled before me, their faces set with professional determination."Questions?" I ask the room.A younger soldier raises his hand tenta

    Kaelen's POVThe group meeting we just had was productive. But it was also just the beginning.Now we have to actually implement what we discussed. Live it. Make it work in practice instead of just theory.I find myself taking notes. Organizing schedules. Creating systems.It's what I do when things feel overwhelming. Impose structure. Create frameworks."You're making a spreadsheet for our pack dynamic?" Avalon asks, looking over my shoulder."We need organization. Clear schedules. Otherwise this dissolves into chaos.""It's very you.""Someone has to do it."Avalon sits beside me. Studies my notes. His thigh brushes mine, a casual touch that sends a familiar warmth through me."This is good. Detailed. But you forgot something.""What?""Time for just you and me. Independent of Jason."He's right. I've scheduled individual time with Jason for each of us. Group time. But not separate time for my relationship with Avalon."We need that too," he says. "If this is going to work, we can't
