2026-10-13 00:00:00Arthur’s POV
The conversation with the trade partners from the Northern district had dragged on longer than I wanted.
Every instinct in my gut had been screaming at me to cut them short, to turn around and check the perimeter of the ballroom where Elvina was standing near the marble pillars.
When I finally excused myself, my eyes scanned the crowded room instantly.
I spotted the deep,

Elvina’s POVThe sleek black SUV tore through the midnight gates of the Thornridge Estate at speeds that pressed me deep into the leather seating. The high-beam headlights cut wild, slashing paths across the dark treeline as three armored vanguard vehicles escorted us down the winding drive.My heart felt trapped in my throat, hammering a frantic, deafening rhythm against my ribs.Iris.The name echoed in my head like a desperate prayer. The moment Arthur had received Zach’s message on the comm-link, the elegant charity gala had evaporated into a nightmare.He hadn't bothered to explain the situation to the staring crowd; he had simply grabbed my hand, dragged me through the kitchens, and shoved me into the back of a tactical vehicle while barking orders that made the drivers jump.Arthur sat beside me in the dim interior of the SUV, his jaw clamped so tight the muscle along his cheek twitched. His dark eyes burned with a cold, terrifying fury, his hands resting on his knees in tig

Arthur’s POVThe conversation with the trade partners from the Northern district had dragged on longer than I wanted.Every instinct in my gut had been screaming at me to cut them short, to turn around and check the perimeter of the ballroom where Elvina was standing near the marble pillars.When I finally excused myself, my eyes scanned the crowded room instantly.I spotted the deep, liquid-blue shimmer of her sapphire gown across the hall. But the moment my gaze locked onto her, the fine hairs on the back of my neck stood straight up.Elvina looked pale. Her shoulders were rigid, her hands gripped tightly against her small evening clutch, and standing just inches away from her, invading her personal space with a slick, poisonous smile, was Felix Voss.The civilized veneer of the Thornridge Medical Foundation Gala vanished from my m

Elvina’s POVThe grand ballroom of the Ashbourne Cultural Center gleamed under the light of three massive crystal chandeliers.Muted classical strings drifted through the air, blending smoothly with the polite hum of conversation and the soft clinking of crystal champagne flutes.Tonight was the annual Thornridge Medical Foundation Gala, a major charity event bringing together the pack’s top surgeons, wealthy donors, and high-ranking council members.Standing in front of the tall vanity mirror in my dressing room earlier that evening, I had almost lost my breath when I unpacked the garment bag Arthur had sent up.It was a stunning, floor-length sapphire gown. The fabric was a deep, liquid blue that shimmered under the light, featuring a high, modest neckline and long sleeves that gracefully concealed the faint, lingering tingle in my palms.&n

Arthur’s POVThe heavy oak door of my private study was closed tight, shutting out the rest of the sprawling estate. The room smelled faintly of aged leather, pipe tobacco, and old paper. Outside, the afternoon shadows were stretching long across the lawns, but inside, the only illumination came from a single green-shaded banker’s lamp on my desk.I sat in my high-backed leather chair, staring across the room at the young man standing near the fireplace.Jill had his hands shoved deep into the pockets of his dark jacket, his shoulders slightly hunched. For months, our conversations had been reduced to sharp words, clipped arguments over his rebellious streak at the academy, and the icy wall he had built around himself ever since his mother packed her bags and left the Thornridge estate for good. The bitter, protracted divorce had fractured our household, turning my eighteen-year-old son into a guarded stranger who viewed every decision I made through a lens of suspicion."You wante

Elvina’s POVThe morning air in the estate courtyard was crisp and biting, carrying the sharp scent of damp soil and crushed pine. I wrapped my cardigan tightly around my shoulders, taking a slow, deep breath to settle the constant, quiet nausea lingering in the back of my throat.My pregnancy had officially passed the four-month mark, and with it came changes I could no longer ignore or easily hide.It wasn't just the subtle rounding of my waist beneath my loose knit sweater, or the way my body felt perpetually warm even in the autumn chill. It was the energy. Over the past two weeks, my dormant wolf felt less like a quiet ghost and more like a restless flame stirring right beneath my ribs.Every time my emotions spiked—whether from a frustrating phone call with my mother or the sheer, overwhelming stress of Felix’s lurking shadow—the lights around me reacted. A wall sconce in the dining hall had shattered two nights ago when I dropped a glass, and the overhead fluorescent panels

Arthur’s POVThe subterranean office beneath my suite at the Thornridge Estate was lit only by the cool blue glow of three monitors mounted side-by-side across the obsidian desk.It was nearly two in the morning. Outside, a light drizzle tapped steadily against the reinforced glass windows, but inside, the air was dead silent save for the quiet hum of high-speed servers running background decryption scripts.I sat back in my heavy leather chair, a glass of amber whiskey sitting untouched beside a dark leather folder.Across the desk, Zach was typing rapidly, his fingers moving across the mechanical keyboard with practiced precision. His face was pale, illuminated by lines of code scrolling down the central screen."Run the trace again, Zach," I commanded softly, my voice dropping into a low, quiet thread that carried the heavy weight of an Alpha's absolute authority."I've run it three times, Arthur," Zach replied, taking a slow breath and leaning back from the console. He rubbed his
