Scarlett's POV

"Someone is using the impersonation to buy time," Reed said, still standing in the corridor behind Dagger. "Whoever is at that gate is not here to negotiate. They are here to hold our attention at the front of the property while something happens somewhere else."

I had been coming down the stairs when I heard the radio exchange. I stopped on the last step.

"The records room," I said.

Both of them looked at me.

"If someone is at the front gate claiming to be Reed," I said, "someth

    Dominic's POV"Two weeks," I said quietly to the dark ceiling.I was not even speaking to wake her. I actually had to say it, as I wanted to clarify a few things to myself before dawn, when the saying clarified something that thinking alone had left blurred.Scarlett breathed evenly beside me, her wolf settled against mine through the bond, warm, present, completely without urgency. I lay still and let the morning gather itself slowly outside the window, the dark not yet ready to give way, the room holding its quiet.I counted things.And I didn't do that anxiously, but with the intentional focus of a man calculating what was worth calculating, each item given its full weight before moving on to the next, just the way I held things when I finally understood their value.The warmth of her against my side.The mate bond, settled now into something as natural as breathing, no longer a thing I noticed separately from breathing itself, simply part of the architecture of being alive.The pa

    Scarlett's POV"The land dispute," Callum said over the phone, his voice carrying the measured quality of a man delivering information he had been waiting to confirm. "Morrow's lawyers filed the withdrawal this morning. Citing the surveyor's testimony, the two independently verified pre-interference surveys, and the registered digital copies." A pause. "The filing is clean. They reserve the right to refile. They withdrew."I stood at the study window, the phone pressed against my ear."Which lawyers?" I asked."The primary firm. Morrow's lead counsel." Callum's voice remained level. "This was not a subsidiary filing that could be walked back. This was the principal firm on the principal action. They withdrew."I processed this."When does it become official?" I asked."It already is," he replied. "Stamped, logged, court record. The land dispute is closed."I put the phone down.Stood at the window for a moment.Day one.Over the following three days, the withdrawals arrived in sequenc

    Luca's POV "The inspector will look at this section first," Lilith told me, setting the folder in front of me. "Not because it is the most important. Because it is the most visible. First impression determines the frame through which they read everything that follows." I looked at the section she had marked. Community governance structure. The visible layer of how the pack organised itself in terms that human institutional language recognised. Meeting records, decision trails and financial accountability. "The tone is wrong," I said. She looked up from her own work. "It reads as defensive," I continued. "Every sentence is explaining why things are structured the way they are. Explanation implies prior accusation. An inspector reads explanation as confirmation that something needed explaining." I picked up a pen. "It should read as matter-of-fact. This is how we operate because it is the most efficient structure. Not because we are defending a choice." Lilith looked at the

    Dominic's POV "She is in the study," Scarlett told me at the pack house entrance. "Cain is already there." I looked at her. She looked back at me with the expression she wore when she had already assessed something, had already made a decision about it, and was now giving me both without requiring me to arrive at them myself. "Her eyes," she said. "Grey…almost black. Old pack blood, Dagger confirmed it. The bloodline reading is not from Dark Eclipse territory." She paused. "She has been searching for three years. Her mother died eighteen months ago. She had a letter from Corin." The corridor was quiet around us. I held the information for exactly the time it required. "You are certain," I said. "I am not certain of anything," she replied. "But I am certain enough to have brought her inside." She held my gaze. "Cain asked to be present. I told him yes." I walked past her toward the study. She fell in beside me, slightly behind my right shoulder, the position she had

    Scarlett's POV "Someone at the gate," Dagger's voice came through my radio. "And this individual has been asking for Dominic by name. Not the Alpha…His name." I set down what I was doing. "Send them through?" the guard asked on the same channel. "Hold them," Dagger replied. Then, off the open channel, directly to me: "I need you at the gate. Not Dominic….You." That last part told me something. Dagger did not make distinctions without reasons. If she was calling me instead of Dominic, it was because the situation required assessment before it required authority. I was at the gate in four minutes. The forecourt was quiet. The gate guard stood at the entrance, hands at his sides, watching the woman standing just inside the threshold with the attention of someone who had been told not to move on anything until the right person arrived. The woman was travel-worn. Not dramatically, not in a way that suggested crisis or flight. In the way of someone who had been moving consist

    Dagger's POV "You brought two folders," I said when he came through the kitchen door. Reed looked at his hands. Two folders, one under each arm, plus the coffee he had somehow balanced through the doorway without spilling. "The second one does not work," he told me. He set both on the table, then he set the coffee down and sat across from me. I looked at the folders. The first one I recognised. The welfare investigation documentation, the section we had been reviewing daily, the progress tracking Reed maintained with the thoroughness of someone who understood that incomplete records were how things failed. He had been updating it every morning, sliding the relevant pages across the table, talking me through the changes while we drank coffee before anyone else in the pack house was properly awake. The second folder was different. Thinner. Handwritten, which Reed's materials never were, every page he produced was typed, organised, and cross-referenced. This folder looked like it

    Scarlett's POV.“I pray I don't regret this” Dominic carefully searched his right pocket, taking out a pocket knife and handing it over to me casually.“Was this for?” I stared at it with a frown.“Protection, Scarlett. I'm not leaving you out there unguarded.”“Why would I need a pocket knife whe
