Serena

Saturday had taken everything she had. Three weddings, three deliveries, two of them across town from each other with a forty-minute window between setups, and a mother of the bride who decided at the last possible moment that the centerpieces needed more color. Serena had driven home like a zombie and slept for ten hours without moving.

Sunday belonged to her; she was free to rest. She sat cross-legged on the couch in a faded t-shirt, which had gone soft from almost a decade of washing,

    SerenaSerena drove to the shop with the windows cracked and the heater on; the storm had left the weather grey, but Serena was in a good mood. After speaking with Rosalind yesterday, she had slept feeling a bit better about the situation.She had woken up before her alarm and looked at her schedule for the week with excitement. She had two corporate deliveries during the week, a wholesale order, and some repeat customers wanting their weekly arrangements. Then there was a bench full of propagation she had been neglecting for two weeks and had to get to.She got to her shop by 8, holding the coffee she had gotten from a local store. The street was quiet at this hour, the shutters still down on the cafe next door, and she liked the shop best like this, before the day asked anything of her. She unlocked the door and let herself into the cool and the green smell of it and felt, for a moment, like everything was normal.She walked through the store, checking to make sure all the plants we

    CadenHe walked across the estate at noon.His parents' wing was a ten-minute walk from the main house; it was far enough to feel separate and close enough that it could be reached quickly in an emergency. The rain had stopped, but the path was wet. The pavement that led to his parents' house was surrounded by greenery that hadn’t been well-kept. He arrived at the door, and Clara opened it before he knocked.She had been watching from the sitting room window, and his mother was still as impatient as ever. She insisted they call her Clara, confessing that she missed the sound of her name. He had come up the path most visible from that window, knowing she would be there, and he bent down to give her a peck. She wore a dark green sweater, and her hair was a bit shorter than it had been in the summer. She looked at him in the doorway for a moment before dragging him into the house."You should have driven. I don’t want you getting cold." He chose not to argue, even if he was an alpha a

Serena had driven home like a zombie and slept for ten hours without moving.Sunday belonged to her; she was free to rest. She sat cross-legged on the couch in a faded t-shirt, which had gone soft from almost a decade of washing, sipping the tea she had brewed, though it had gone cold, and watching gray clouds stack up over the rooftops across the street. The forecast promised a storm by evening. She picked up her phone and called her aunt. Rosalind was her mother’s best friend. For as long as Serena had been alive, Rosalind was always there. After the accident, Rosalind became the place where Serena landed. Both of them loved Vivenne with a passion, and they gave each other a safe space to talk about her.Rosalind wa

    CadenMarcus sent the data to him on time. Three hundred and forty confirmed entries between eight and eleven PM. Entrance records, car park feeds, timestamped. There was no internal footage. Onyx ran no cameras inside the club, by policy, and their clientele had always preferred it that way.Caden was on the phone immediately."Walk me through what we have," he said."Entry log, names and timestamps," Marcus said. "We’re lucky it was a special event for your birthday, so there's a guest list. Those who had plus ones sent in their names prior. The car park feed gives us vehicle registrations for anyone who drove. About 60 of the three forty arrived on foot or by car service.""How many women?""Roughly a hundred and eighty. I haven't done a clean count yet.""Do it. And separate out anyone we can confirm is human.""That's the problem. Onyx doesn't ask. No membership form will have a species field. We have to cross-reference pack registries, which is a manual process. I need to call c

    SerenaThe refrigerator was working. Under normal circumstances, it was good news. But the unit had been running since before she arrived, holding temperature all night without interruption, which meant there was no fluctuation to account for the three white roses that had been closed buds when she left yesterday and were now fully open. She stood in front of the door with the cold coming out and looked at them for a moment. The display read thirty-eight degrees. They weren’t meant to open at that temperature. She closed the door and went back to the bench, deciding to worry about the roses after she had arranged a few orders.She was wiring a sympathy arrangement when Lena came. It was still 8 am, and the store was not open yet. Lena had a key for exactly this reason: she believed that the answer to most problems was to show up before you were invited, so you could shock the person with your presence."Coffee," Lena said, setting a cup at her elbow. She climbed onto the stool on the

    CadenHe called his father at seven. If he waited for a good time, there would be no good time. He would have been waiting until he wasn't angry, and he did not plan to stop being angry anytime soon. He needed that anger to motivate him.Elias picked up on the second ring. "Caden, I was about to call you." He had never heard his father sound nervous, but now he could hear how uncomfortable the man was."You got Marcus to keep it from me." He went straight to the point."I did.""Why do you think you can keep details of my life hidden from me for three months?"His father was silent at the other end of the phone. The man had never been one to apologize before. He was an Alpha, and he did things without permission. Caden knew that this situation was new and uncomfortable for his dad, and he found this both infuriating and honest. He stood at the window of his study with the phone against his ear and watched Portland come awake below. He could hear his father’s light breathing. He took
