"Why Are You Locking the Door?"

Author: Katherine
(Amber's POV)

I stepped into Dominic's office, my second time visiting this space. The first time had been months ago when, provoked by Ethan's taunts, I'd impulsively asked Dominic if he needed a Luna.

Now, I took my time absorbing the details I'd previously overlooked. The office was massive, easily three times the size of my photography studio.

Plush leather chairs faced a desk of polished dark wood. A handmade carpet with moonstone inlays covered the floor, its black and gold pattern subtly incorporating the Blackwood Pack colors.

Floor-to-ceiling windows offered a panoramic view of Silvercrest City that would make any photographer drool. The morning sunlight streamed through, highlighting the elegant furnishings that screamed power and wealth.

Dominic closed the door behind me with a soft click. When our eyes met, his blue irises flashed with subtle Alpha authority that made my heart race.

"Did you bring me lunch?" he asked, his deep voice sending a shiver down my spine.

    (Ethan's POV)I paced back and forth in my office, unable to shake the burning resentment that had been growing inside me. Lucas Blackwood, that spineless cousin of mine, had been rehired by Dominic. Not just rehired—given the Blackwood pack's position at Shadow Peak in the human world.My position. The one I'd been dreaming of."Damn it!" I slammed my fist against the wall, ignoring the pain that shot through my knuckles.My wolf Noah stirred restlessly beneath my skin, sharing my agitation. This was all Amber's fault. Ever since she'd mated with Dominic, everything had gone to hell.I'd been so close to gaining real power within the pack. Control of Strategic Investments was the key to the Blackwood Group's business empire—just as Dominic had used it to gain control of the Pack. And now Lucas, of all people, was being handed the opportunity I deserved.My phone buzzed. A message from Felix: "Alpha Dominic requests your presence immediately."My heart rate spiked. What now?

    (Amber's POV)For an entire week, I maintained my new routine of visiting Dominic's office with lunch. The rhythm of our days had fallen into a comfortable pattern that felt both exciting and domestic."No sign of Vivian Quinn today either?" I asked Lucas as he met me in the lobby of Shadowpeak Tower.Lucas shook his head, taking the bag of food from my hands. "She secured that investment deal with Uncle Dominic and left the Northern Territory yesterday. Business in Europe, I think."I couldn't help the relief that flooded through me. My wolf, Cora, had been intimidated by Vivian's presence—the woman exuded confidence and commanded respect in a way that triggered Cora's instinctive response to powerful she-wolves."Good," I said, stepping into the elevator. "I'm not in the mood for another territorial standoff."Lucas chuckled. "You're the Luna now, Amber. No need to feel threatened."I shot him a look. "I'm not threatened. I'm just... selective about my battles."The truth was

    (Amber's POV)"It's just a scratch," I insisted, holding my phone at arm's length as Dominic's concerned face filled the screen. "The car got the worst of it."His eyes narrowed, searching my face for signs I wasn't being truthful. "Show me the damage."I flipped the camera, revealing the dented bumper and scratched paint of my limited edition sports car. The midnight blue finish was marred with an ugly gash where Ethan's sedan had connected."That can be fixed," Dominic said dismissively. "Are you sure you're not hurt? Your neck looks stiff."I rotated my shoulders, wincing slightly at the twinge of pain. "Just a little whiplash. Nothing serious.""I'm coming back immediately," he declared, his voice brooking no argument. "Stay put and meet me there.""But your business trip—""Is over. Felix can handle the rest." He was already moving, the background behind him blurring. "Don't move. I'll be there in two hours."The call ended before I could protest further. I sighed, leanin

She had been a top model in the supernatural world before vanishing from the spotlight.Dominic stirred, his blue eyes finding mine. "You should be sleeping. Your neck needs rest.""I need to ask you something," I whispered. "Did you know Shannon Miles is making a comeback?"His expression remained neutral, but I caught the slight tightening around his eyes. "Yes.""And you didn't think to mention it?" I tried to keep the accusation from my voice.Dominic sat up, fully awake now. "I didn't realize it would affect you directly.""She's going to be the cover model for Moon magazine's anniversary issue.

It made my mother's life miserable."I thought about the implications, about the decades of resentment this must have created.
