to exhale. The other dancers have already moved on, stretching at the barre, rolling their shoulders, hydrating. But I'm frozen here in the center of the studio, muscles screaming, under the merciless gaze of the woman who controls whether I get Swan Lake or whether I get relegated to the corps de ballet for another miserable year."Your landing, Ms. Gregory," Madame Loretto's voice cuts through the afternoon heat like a blade. She's not yelling. That's what makes it worse. She never yells. "That fouetté was technically adequate. Your extension was acceptable. But your your landing was sloppy and Imprecise. It was the landing of someone who doesn't understand that the role of Odette is not a role for the imprecise."I want to defend myself. I want to say that I nailed forty seven other fouettés today with perfect precision, that my landing was just fractionally off balance, that the audition process for Swan Lake shouldn't hinge on a single moment of imperfection when I've spent the

The financial trail is thin but unmistakable once you know what you’re looking for.My security team—specifically Marcus, who has been doing this longer than most people have been alive—comes to me with a folder containing payment records from three separate accounts. Small amounts, never more than five thousand dollars at a time, but consistent. Regular. The kind of payments that speak to an arrangement rather than a transaction. The kind of payments someone makes when they’re paying for silence or compliance or the careful coordination of a crime.The payments lead to a temporary contractor hired through a standard agency, someone listed on payroll under a name that doesn’t match the badge on file at the studio. Someone who should not have been on set that day, but clearly was.Someone who was there when Brynn was shot.I sit in my office and read through the documentation three times, cross-referencing everything with what Seth’s investigation has already uncovered. And with each r

CHAPTER 62(Darius's POV)He brings everything to Brynn instead of acting on his own the financial trail, the contractor records, the assistant's name. He tells her plainly that he wants to do this together this time, not as separate parties with separate agendas the way they handled Cassia years ago. She studies him for a long moment, the offer clearly unfamiliar to her. Then she nods once and pulls out her own folder, the one with Priya's information, and slides it across the table. Two investigations becoming one. He looks at the combined pile between them and feels something settle into place that has nothing to do with Vivienne at all.CHAPTER 63(Brynn's POV)Brynn meets with Priya again, this time with her production company's legal team present. She tells Priya plainly that going on record will be hard but that she will not lose her career over it — Brynn's company will absorb her, protect her contract, make sure no other production blacklists her for telling the truth.

Like I didn’t matter.Like the mate bond between us was already severed.“Actually,” Solene continued, her voice carrying through the silent room so every wolf could hear, “since you’re here, maybe you could help?”“Help?” I echoed.“Yes.” She gestured toward the tables laden with food and drinks. “The servers are overwhelmed. And you know this house so well. It would mean so much if you could serve the guests.”The room went quiet. So quiet I could hear my own heartbeat, could hear the collective intake of breath from the assembled wolves.Serve the guests.She wanted me to serve them.At a party thrown in my house.On my birthday.In my own territory.I looked at Thorne, my mate, my Alpha. Waited for him to say something. To tell Solene this was inappropriate. That I was his mate, not a servant. That an Alpha’s mate held rank in the pack.“Well?” His voice was sharp, impatient, filled with Alpha authority. “You heard her. What are you waiting for?”The world tilted.“Thorne—” My voi

2:47 am, again. I groaned as I rubbed my tired eyes, noticing the brightness from my laptop screen casting harsh shadows across the studio. I should have gone home hours ago, but this client’s deadline was tomorrow, and the dining room rendering still wasn’t quite right. The chandelier needed to be repositioned, the wall color adjusted just a shade warmer. Mrs. Patterson had been very specific about wanting “welcoming but sophisticated,” and after seven years of clawing my way up in this industry, I’d learned that details mattered.My head felt heavy. Just a few minutes, I told myself, folding my arms on the desk, just to let my eyes rest.Within what felt like a second, I was back in my old bedroom at the Steele estate, moonlight streaming through the French windows. The silk sheets felt cool against my flushed skin as I lay there, heart racing. I knew I shouldn’t be thinking about him like this, but in dreams, the rules didn’t apply.The door opened softly. Dominic stood in the door

The cigarette smoke hit Sasha before she even opened the apartment door. Marlboro Reds, her father’s brand. He only smoked those when he was celebrating something, which meant someone else was about to have a very bad day.She fumbled with her keys, the metal slick with sweat from her seven hour sh

"Where the hell is that wench!" At the sound of her step mother's voice booming through the hall, Lana's eyes cracked open and she threw back her bed covers with great swiftness before flying out of the bed. She was a light sleeper but after working late into the night in the kitchen last nig

Isla’s POVMaria immediately bowed deeper, recognizing the direct order from her Luna. “Yes, Luna Thornwood.”She led several other omegas past my father, who stood there fuming but ultimately powerless against my mother’s direct command.“You’re completely unreasonable!” he shouted at my mother’s

I paused at the sound of it, fingers still closed around the strap of my bag, and listened.I could picture her without looking, her head tilted at exactly the right angle, her expression arranged into something gentle and sympathetic, her whole body positioned to suggest she was nothing but kind a
