The Debt Collector

~THIRD POV~

The medical facility had no name on the door.

Viktor Volkov spent forty years living a life that wasn't on the books, and he didn't want to change that.

Names bring attention, and attention means responsibility. But responsibility is for those who haven't figured out how to rise above it.

He sat up in bed at exactly six AM.

Not because the pain was any better — it wasn't. The pain was always there now, like a roommate who had moved in and refused to leave.

    Don't You Dare 2~THIRD POV~"Draven." Something broke open in her voice that she couldn't stop. "Open your eyes right now."His eyes opened slowly. The gold nearly gone, the brown glassy and distant in a way that made her stomach drop completely."There you are," she said, steadier than she felt. "Stay with me.""'m here."The words sounded fuzzy around the edges. She had never heard him speak without control. It scared her more than the grey spreading to his wrist. "Just — give me a second.""You don't have a second." She leaned closer, her hand still against his face. "I know what this feels like. I know exactly what it feels like because I was young and foolish and I loved someone who didn't deserve it and I took a silver bullet in the chest for him."His eyes focused a bit. Just enough."Left side. Two inches from my heart. I spent eleven days in the Blackwood pack infirmary learning what silver does from the inside while the man I took it for visited twice and his mother told m

    Don't You Dare~THIRD POV~The night air hit them hard when they walked through the warehouse doors.Chilly. Salty.The waterfront was dark, except for the orange light from Draven's SUVs parked at angles in the loading area. Joshua was already walking toward them with three guys behind him.Luna held Kai's hand. Draven was next to her, with his left arm around her shoulders and his right hand pressed against his jacket.She saw the smoke coming from his fingers. She understood what that meant, not because she had seen it before, not from hearing about it. But from the scar on her chest.She had been twenty-three years old and she had loved Damon Blackwood the way only someone very young and very foolish loved someone who didn't deserve it — completely, blindly, with everything she had. And when the silver bullet came across a darkened courtyard she had moved without thinking because that was what love did before it learned better.The bullet had taken her in the chest, left side, t

    Ten Seconds~THIRD POV~ The blue dot stopped moving.Luna was out of the car before it fully stopped.The eastern waterfront warehouse looked just like all the other buildings around it...with metal walls, big doors, and a plain industrial style that people usually overlook.Draven's black SUV was already there, driver's door open, engine still ticking.She didn't slow down.She pushed through the side door with her shoulder, gun up, Eyes piercing the dark room in the two seconds she allowed herself before moving.What she saw: 'twelve men, maybe more in the shadows. Draven already inside, already fighting, two men down and a third grabbing for his arm.'And Kai...her heart seized completely.,,Kai in the far corner, zip-tied to a support line, his face white, his eyes huge.He was alive. "MUM!"She was already moving.The first man reached her and she dropped low, drove her elbow up into his chin with everything she had. His head snapped back. She didn't watch him fall. The second

    Taken 2~THIRD POV~Luna arrived at 10:06.She walked through the main entrance already looking for him. That was just how it was now — she arrived somewhere and the first thing her eyes did was find Kai.Track three, it was empty. She stopped walking.The car was on the starting line. His car, the black and red one, sitting perfectly positioned for a lap it wasn't taking. The controller was gone, his bag was gone, but the car was there.And Kai wasn't.Luna stood completely still for exactly three seconds.In those three seconds, she felt something inside her that she couldn't explain. It wasn't about assessing danger or making plans. It was just a mother's instinct....clear and strong, without needing proof....that something was wrong.She moved to the nearest staff member. "The boy who uses this track every Saturday. Dark hair, about ten. Where is he?"The young man blinked. "He was here twenty minutes ago. I haven't seen him leave."She walked the facility perimeter in under two

    Taken 1~THIRD POV~The racing facility was loud at ten AM on a Saturday.Kids everywhere, parents in the observer area with coffee and phones. The smell of fake track material and the loud noise of remote-controlled cars create a vibe of a place made just for small things racing.Kai Blackwood stood at track three, holding his black and red car. He was carefully checking the bottom, looking serious about it.He was early.He was always early on Saturdays.Track three was his. Not officially — but he had been coming every weekend for eight months and the staff knew his name and the track was always free when he arrived, and that was enough to make it feel like something that belonged to him. Something that was just his.He set the car on the starting line and picked up the controller.It launched clean and fast, pulling through the first corner without drifting. He adjusted the settings like his mom taught him two weeks ago, and right away, the car felt like it was in sync with him.

Volkov looked at the window. Gloomy morning light behind the blind. "Craven.""Sir?""Tell me where he is this morning."Gregor checked his tablet. "Checked out of the Meridian Grand Hotel at eight AM.
