Nicole's POV

My desk phone buzzed, cutting through the silence of the room. I glanced at the display and saw Marlon's extension flashing.

I picked up the receiver and pressed it to my ear. "Nicole speaking."

"Tracy went above your office," Marlon said, his voice coming through the line without any greeting.

"I know," I said. "I expected it."

"Reyes is reviewing the contract now. She'll want your documentation."

"I've already forwarded it to her assistant," I said. "The original signed agreement

    Nicole pov He smiled at that, a small, genuine smile, and pushed himself up from the wheeled stool. "I will let you finish your work. The afternoon report from Parkville's team finally came in — I left the physical folder right on your desk.""Thank you," I murmured, reaching for the folder.He walked toward the exit, but he was almost out of the lab doorway when I spoke again."Marlon," I said.He stopped, turning around to look back at me. "Yeah?""Add today's entire timeline to the master file," I said. "The original request from her, my formal denial, her escalation to the directorship, and Reyes' final ruling. Make sure everything is precisely timestamped.""Already done," he said, giving me a quick nod. "I put it in the digital vault twenty minutes ago.""And add the broken glass incident report too," I called out before he could leave. "I want the board to see her behavioral patterns if she tries to claim the environment is causing her stress."Marlon chuckled, leaning against

    Nicole's POVMy desk phone buzzed, cutting through the silence of the room. I glanced at the display and saw Marlon's extension flashing.I picked up the receiver and pressed it to my ear. "Nicole speaking.""Tracy went above your office," Marlon said, his voice coming through the line without any greeting."I know," I said. "I expected it.""Reyes is reviewing the contract now. She'll want your documentation.""I've already forwarded it to her assistant," I said. "The original signed agreement, the role specifications, and the clinical justification for maintaining Dr. Carter as the primary contact throughout the trial duration."There was a brief pause. "Nicole," Marlon said, in the voice he used when he was genuinely impressed but was trying to frame it as mild approval. "You had the documentation ready before she filed the escalation.""I had the documentation ready the day I saw her accept my apology too easily," I said.He laughed — a short, warm sound. "The directorship is goin

    Nicole's POVThe red light on my desk terminal blinked three times. It was the specific slow flash that meant an official, logged petition had entered my queue. I clicked the mouse, opened the internal mail app, and a document with the official institute crest filled the screen.The text on the screen read:FORMAL PETITION FOR ROLE MODIFICATIONDate: June 24, 2026To: The Office of the Lead Researcher, Federal Research Institute From: Patient Tracy CaesarRequest: The patient requests an immediate change to her current care team assignment. Citing personal preference and daily comfort, the patient requests that her daily care be provided in an attendant capacity rather than a medical capacity.Proposed Assignment Change: The patient requests that Dr. Nicole Carter be removed from the medical file. The patient further requests that the former attendant known as Lea return to her previous role of personal attendant for the duration of the clinical trial.What Tracy was asking, transla

    Sophia pov "If he ever discovers that I am the leak, Sophia... he will take away my beta rank," Jonathan said, his eyes wild with fear in the dark. "He might execute me for treason. He is unstable right now. His wolf is completely ruling his choices.""Then we will make sure he never discovers it," I murmured with sweet certainty. "You are doing perfectly, Jonathan. You are his most trusted advisor. As long as you keep bringing me his security updates and telling him the stories I make up for him, he will never suspect a thing. He thinks you are his loyal shadow. Now, look at the time. You really should go. Lily will wonder where you are, and we cannot have her asking questions."Something moved across his face—not exactly guilt, but something close to it. I always found that interesting about him. He was completely loyal to Tate and to his pack role, yet for years, he had found reasons to spend his late evenings with me. He didn't seem to think he was being a hypocrite. He just saw

    Sophia pov "And did his mind start to spin?" I asked, a cold smile on my lips."Immediately," Jonathan said, looking up to meet my eyes. "I could see the exact moment his alpha foresight started giving him trouble. He thinks there is a massive plot happening right under his nose. He looked right at me and ordered me to track their license plates, check the outside cameras, and find out exactly where those two men go the second they drive away from this building."I laughed, a sharp, clear sound. "He is so delightfully easy to manipulate when he thinks his precious little family is in danger. He has no idea those two men are just independent text managers I hired from the city to organize my old pack files. They don't know anything about Nicole, they don't know anything about the twins, and they don't care. They are just two regular humans doing a data job for cash.""He is going to waste forty-eight hours of valuable time tracking innocent data workers," Jonathan muttered, shaking hi

    Sophia's POVJonathan held me with warm, steady hands. I lay against his shoulder in the dim bedroom, but my mind was somewhere else entirely. The sheets were tangled around us, and the air was still warm from what we had just done. The silence felt comfortable to me, but it felt heavy for him. I could hear his heart beating steadily against my cheek. It reminded me how easy he was to read."I love you," he said.He said it the same way every time—quietly and seriously, as if repeating the words often enough would finally convince me.I made a soft sound and reached for the glass of water on the nightstand. The cold glass felt good against my skin, washing away the warmth he had left behind."Sophia." His voice shook slightly, losing its usual calm composure. He pulled the heavy blanket up over his bare chest and looked down at me with desperate hope. "You always do this. You drift away the very moment we are finished. You look at the walls, you look at the window, but you never look

    Nicole's POVI call Marlon at six in the morning. He picks up on the second ring. He’s awake, which means he’s been stuck on the same thought that has kept me wide awake since midnight."The meeting," I say."I know," he says."I can't go in as myself," I say. "Not yet. The trial has a few weeks le

    Nicole pov He holds my gaze. "When I visited at five, she called the attendant competent," he says. "From my mother, that’s the highest possible praise."I look at the wall, staying silent."She’s not an easy person," he adds. "I know exactly what she was like, before all this."There is a weight

    Nicole's POVI am at my desk when Marlon comes in. One look at his face and I close my laptop."What happened?"He sits down on his stool but doesn't speak immediately. He looks at his hands for a moment, which Marlon almost never does."Before anything else," he says. "Last night. I'm sorry."I bl
