"Do you think there’s any chance he knows it was me?"

I asked.

John glanced at me, just as unsure. "He didn’t touch you, did he?"

I hesitated.

"Let’s just get out of here," I said quickly, brushing past his question. "I’m alive, that’s what matters. You should be smiling, not scowling."

He didn’t smile.

I rolled my eyes as we continued down the quiet path so the guards won't see us, putting distance between us and the palace. We’d parked far away to avoid suspicion.

Once inside the car, we didn’t say a word. We just drove.

A few minutes later, we were in John’s office. The computer hummed to life as we waited for it to boot up. He sat across from me, eyes flicking up.

His expression turned very serious.

"When I ask if you’re okay," he bellowed. "I expect the truth."

I followed his gaze, his eyes locked on the faint red marks on my neck.

I shifted in my seat. "Relax, it was just Tonya."

He didn’t believe me. But before he could push, I looked at the screen.

    "What if it was the spirit that helped me?" Evelyn said quietly, thinking out loud.John rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Let’s just go. Stop saying things that don’t make sense," he replied.A few minutes later, they were all on the black bus. Solomon was driving, taking them to the nearest hotel. The ride was quiet, with only the soft hum of the engine in the background.Evelyn sat at the back, watching Paulo, who was completely focused on a game on his laptop. She frowned, not sure how to talk to him. Paulo was the kind of guy who only did something if the boss told him to."You’ve been staring at me for a while," Paulo said suddenly, still looking at his screen. A small grin appeared on his face. "What’s up? Starting to fall for me or something?"Evelyn gave him a hard look. "You’re not even close to my type," she said plainly.Paulo smirked and finally looked at her. "You sure about that? I treat you better than the boss does. Just say the word, and I’ll be the best boyfriend

    “No wonder I felt like someone was choking me… and then it just stopped,” She rubbed her hands other neck as she gasped.“A vengeful spirit stopped?” John said sharply, glancing nervously around the shadowed trees.Evelyn swallowed hard. “And this… this is where Bea was last seen. Please don’t tell me it killed her.”Her heart pounded in her chest. She glanced left and right, eyes blurring with tears as a cold fear settled over her, the fear that the spirit had already consumed Bea.“Calm down, Evelyn,” John said, placing his hands gently on her shoulders. “I think we should get out of here.”But she wasn’t listening. John had no choice but to grip her hands firmly.Suddenly, a lightning strike split the sky, followed by a violent gust of wind that knocked everyone to the ground everyone except Evelyn."Help me..." a thin, mournful voice whispered, carried by the restless wind. It wasn’t coming from anywhere nearby, it seemed to come from the air itself, as if the wind had learned ho

    "Be careful out there," Paulo called, his voice crackling through the old monitor on the bus dashboard. His eyes were fixed on them from behind the camera feed.Evelyn rolled her eyes as she scanned the dense forest around them. Vines curled like snakes around the gnarled trees, and the air smelled of wet moss and something... weird. What the hell are we even doing here? she wondered as she then remembered it was because of Bea."I swear, that’s the tenth time that nerd has said it," she muttered, brushing a branch out of her path."I'm not a nerd," Paulo shot back through the Airpod. "I'm just a cool guy whose wolf has an eye problem."Evelyn gave a dry chuckle, shaking her head.John stepped closer, his eyes darting between her and the woods. "I think you should get in the car," he said, his voice edged with concern.She turned sharply, glaring at him. "If you underestimate me again, I will fucking punch you."John blinked, clearly thrown off. He nodded quickly, backing off a step.

    Ben leaned back in his chair, frowning slightly. He didn’t have an answer. But in the back of his mind, something clicked as he remembered what he’d told Evelyn.She was looking for Bea...And suddenly, things didn’t feel so simple anymore. “Maybe Bea?” Ben offered. “Remember I told you she was at the scene the day her dad died.”Diane ran a hand through her hair, her frustration mounting. “Yeah, and you still haven’t told me how the hell you knew that.”Ben chuckled on the other end. “I do my research before choosing my victims. Thorough, right? Impressive?”Diane rolled her eyes. “You’re sick,” she muttered, then ended the call without waiting for his reply.She slipped her phone back into her pocket only to freeze as a voice echoed softly in front of her.“Former Luna of Silvermoon Pack…”Her heart skipped a beat.She turned slowly. The orange-eyed woman stood at the bars, with her eyes narrowed as she watched Diane with an eerie look.“H-Hey,” Diane said, her voice shaking a lit

    She stood slowly, brushing dust off her clothes and scratching her scalp as if bored.“You really think rotting in this cell is some kind of redemption?” she sneered. “That sacrificing yourself will fix everything? Please. You’re delusional. It’ll be so much fun when he finds out the Beta regrets rejecting his first mate.”Andrew’s face crumbled. His knees hit the ground with a soft thud as fear gripped him because he knows who Diane was.“Diane... please,” he whispered, voice cracking.She narrowed her eyes, sensing his weakness.He could still remember the nights they schemed together, back when they were partners in crime. He had told her everything. Every feeling. Every plan. How he wanted to get rid of John. How he thought, maybe, just maybe, he could win Evelyn back. Diane tilted her head, a slow grin spreading across her face.“You even stalked her at some point,” she said, her voice dripping with mockery. “And I bet John still thinks it was Giovanni all along. Meanwhile... it

    Evelyn knelt to kiss her children's cheeks, lingering as if this might be the last time. Her hands trembled slightly as she pulled away, and looked at their innocent faces."Mom will be back tomorrow okay?""Pinky promise," Harry said lifting his fingers as Eveyln smiled as she placed hers on his. "Bea also said the same thing and now she's nowhere to be found,"She looked at her son as he pouted and began walking back with his sister in his little hands. "So safe Eveyln, don't worry I will take care of the kids," She had made the right choice, leave them with Mimi. John had doubled the security around the villa, replacing every Nightshade Pack guard with his own trusted warriors.Inside the car, silence wrapped around them as the engine started, and the road ahead stretched into uncertainty. Evelyn stared out the window, clutching her hands in her lap, lips moving in a silent prayer. She hoped desperately that she’d see Bea again.John glanced over, catching the worry etched acros
