Dante’s POV

The word blood still sat heavy on my tongue as I stepped fully into the room, and everything inside me went quiet.

I didn’t move at first because my body needed a second to accept what my eyes were seeing.

Violet stayed behind me, and I could feel her grip tightening on my clothes as her breathing turned uneven and shallow, and I knew she was already close to breaking even though she hadn’t made a sound yet.

I walked further in because standing at the door wouldn’t change anything,

    Violet I walked toward him because there was nothing else I could do once he gave an order in that tone. The moment I rounded the desk he pushed his chair back just enough to make space between his body and the wood. His eyes stayed on mine the entire time, dark and steady, and when I stopped in front of him he reached up without hesitation, caught the front of my jacket, and pulled me closer until my thighs pressed against his knees.“What have I told you about calling me Alpha when we’re alone, Violet?” he asked, his voice low and even while his thumb brushed once over the zipper of my jacket as if testing how fast he could undo it.I opened my mouth but no sound came out because the question landed too close to everything I had been trying not to think about since I left his bed this morning, and the way he looked at me made my throat close up tight. He waited, patient as always, then gave a small shake of his head when I stayed silent.He dragged me the rest of the way forward

    VioletThe other side of the bed was empty.I looked at it for a moment, at the flat undisturbed sheet, and then I looked at the ceiling and let out a slow breath and smiled to myself. It wasn't a real smile. It was self deprivating and bitter. I was a fool.I sat up carefully, mindful of my stitches which were almost healed by the way, and swung my legs over the side of the bed. The room was quiet and grey with early morning light. His side of the bed was cold, which meant he hadn't just stepped out. He had been gone for a while.*He probably had work,* Nala said from somewhere in the back of my head. *That's all it is. You're reading into—*I shut her out because I didn't really want to hear it right now. she went quiet but she didn't go away. I found my clothes and got dressed without turning the lamp on. The sex was good. That was the truth of it and I wasn't going to pretend otherwise. But good sex and something real were two entirely different things and I had spent enough of

    DanteThe reports were already on my desk when I sat down at seven.Bret had stacked them in order of urgency — ambush fallout at the top, then the outstanding supplier decisions, then the border patrol rotation that had been waiting on my signature for four days. I pulled the first file and started reading. My coffee went cold before I finished the second page.By eleven I had signed off on the ambush documents. Two were straightforward incident reports. The third was a formal internal inquiry naming seven men who had been present during the attack. Three of them were mine. I underlined their names and set the file aside with a note to schedule individual meetings.Ron appeared at the door around noon."Eastern shipment cleared its second checkpoint," he said."Good."He lingered half a second longer than he needed to. I looked up."Something else?""No, sir." He left.The household had resumed its rhythm with the ease of long practice. My men knew their functions. The structure held

    VioletThe second the door clicked shut behind Bret, my heart slammed against my ribs.Dante didn’t waste a single second.He crossed the room in three powerful strides and crowded me against the wall before I could even speak. His hand fisted in the short hair at the back of my head, yanking my head back just enough to expose my throat. His mouth crashed down on mine — hot, demanding, almost punishing. There was no gentleness, no warm-up. Just raw, starving need.I whimpered into his mouth as his tongue pushed past my lips, claiming me completely. My hands flew up to grip his shoulders, but he was already pressing his entire body against mine, pinning me to the wall with his weight. The hard, thick ridge of his cock strained against his pants and ground into my stomach, letting me feel exactly how badly he wanted me.When he finally tore his mouth away, I was already panting.“Dante…” I breathed.His eyes were dark, pupils blown wide with lust. “You have no idea how long I’ve been t

    VioletThe pack house looked exactly the same.That was the strange part. I had been gone long enough that something about it should have shifted, some visible evidence of time passing, but the gates were the same and the grounds were the same and the guards at the entrance stepped aside for Dante the same way they always did.I climbed out of the car and stood for a moment in the cold air and let the familiarity of it land."Infirmary," Dante said.I looked at him. He was already moving toward the main entrance, not looking back, his coat straightened and his posture back to the version of himself that belonged here."When you're done, come and find me," he added, still not turning. "Your shift already started."I opened my mouth."Yes, Alpha," I said.Bret, standing a few feet to my left, looked at me. Then he looked at Dante. Then he looked back at me with an expression that communicated several things simultaneously without saying any of them out loud.I nodded at him once and wal

    Dante’s POVThe word blood still sat heavy on my tongue as I stepped fully into the room, and everything inside me went quiet. I didn’t move at first because my body needed a second to accept what my eyes were seeing.Violet stayed behind me, and I could feel her grip tightening on my clothes as her breathing turned uneven and shallow, and I knew she was already close to breaking even though she hadn’t made a sound yet.I walked further in because standing at the door wouldn’t change anything, and I forced myself to look properly at Elias and Martha as I took in the details that mattered, and the ones I wished I didn’t notice at all. Elias had been killed cleanly and efficiently, which told me this wasn’t random and it wasn’t messy anger, and Martha had been caught in the aftermath, which made my jaw tighten as I ran through possibilities faster than I could sort them.“Dante…” Violet whispered behind me, and her voice sounded thin like it was coming from somewhere far away.“Stay t

    Violet“No, not at all,” I said, keeping my voice as flat and professional as possible. My heart was thumping against my ribs, but I refused to let a stupid Northshore princess like Isabella see me sweat.“I thought so too.” She didn't even look at me as she shrugged off her designer jacket and thr

    Dante“Grandma…” I started with a tired sigh .“What? He made us wait here a minute longer. If your life was in danger, he’d be arriving now. Is that what we pay him for? Slacking around?” Her voice sharpened. “Kill him already."She repeated the order, calm and certain, but no one moved.Not becau

    DanteFifty men.Fifty families that I would need to face. Fifty apologies I would have to find the right words for, knowing there weren't any. The bombing had been precise and deliberate and it had left nothing to send back to them. There were no remnants of their bodies or anything families could

    Violet The car was quiet now and it make sense given who was in it.The guy who made me get into his car... apparently his name was Ron. Ron had not stopped talking since we pulled out of the gates. He was turned sideways in his seat, arm hooked over the headrest, going on about the bar like he
