Killian’s POV

“Don’t touch her.”

My voice came out harder than I intended but nobody in that hall moved to argue with it. The sentinels at the door stepped back. The two women in white exchanged a look but kept their distance.

I stepped in front of Rae.

“She came in with me,” I said. “That means she’s under my protection. Anyone who puts a hand on her answers to me directly.”

The hall was old stone and high ceilings and the kind of silence that had been accumulating for decades. A long table ra

    Rae’s POVI watched them run after Ethan but I couldn’t move because my shoulder throbbed where I had hit the floor and my palm was stinging from where the disk had been knocked clean out of my grip, but neither of those things were what kept me still. Chasing Ethan into the dark with no plan and no containment strategy was exactly what he wanted, and I was done doing what my enemies wanted.I turned back to the garage.Zeus was still on his knees, hands bound, head slightly bowed, the whip still coiled on the floor beside him where Kael had left it when everything broke loose. He looked up when he heard my boots on the concrete.I crouched in front of him and started to loosen the ties.“You don’t have to do that,” he said.“I know you don’t deserve it,” I said, and kept going.The knots were tight but I must take them off. I had them loose in under a minute and his hands came free and he sat back on his heels and pressed them flat against his thighs. The circulation coming back made

    Killian’s POVI had the garage cleared before Zeus arrived. What was going to happen next didn’t need much people involved beyond the people that knew what was about to happen. That was something I had learned from my father before everything else… that punishment carried out in front of crowds became theater, and theater served pride rather than justice.Kael brought Zeus in with his hands bound and his head down, his wolf so suppressed I could barely feel it in here. He dropped to his knees on the garage floor without being told and Ethan was behind them.I watched Ethan’s face as he stepped back toward the wall. He looked so satisfied, but I ignored him and continued with what I was doing.Asher stood at the far edge of the group with his arms at his sides and his jaw set and his eyes fixed on a point above Zeus’s head. He didn’t look happy or anything close to it.He shifted his weight and began to walk toward the door.“Asher,” I called and he stopped.“Yes, do you need me for an

    Rae’s POV“Are you sure about this?” he asked.“Yes, I’m completely sure about it.”The music was still playing through the hall and I kept my voice low and my face in a way that anyone watching from a distance would think we were having a normal conversation. “The night Ethan was found in the pool,” I said, “he called Zeus’s name the moment he woke up. Everyone took that as him saying that Zeus is the one who did it to him. But think about it… Ethan is a trained sentinel. If he was attacked from behind and blacked out, the last thing he would have seen before losing consciousness would be whoever was with him… Zeus wasn’t near that corridor that night. We can account for where Zeus was. But Ethan being in that pool means someone put him there. And the most logical person to have done it without triggering alarm is someone the sentinels already trusted.”Killian looked like he was already reasoning what I was saying.“The CCTV… From that night. We need to pull the footage from the co

    Rae’s POVMy hands was shaking and I pressed them flat against my thighs and told myself it was the oil the maids were applying, the slickness of it making everything feel slightly uncomfortable. It was not nerves, I did not get nervous. I had faced down armed men in the dark and walked into rooms full of people who wanted me dead and not once had my hands done this particular trembling thing.The maid working on my collarbone gave me a knowing look that I chose not to acknowledge.The knock came and the door opened before I’d even permitted them.I looked up in the mirror and it was Selene. And behind her, Liah.Both of them standing in the doorway in the particular way of people who have rehearsed what they were going to say and are no longer sure it was the right speech.Selene spoke first.“I’m here to make sure you look beautiful,” she said. “For our Alpha.” She said it like someone reading from a card they’d written carefully and were committing to regardless of how it felt comi

    Rae’s POVWe reached the packs gate and Killian slowed the bike immediately, it was as if his mind wasn’t there… Body present, absentminded.I noticed it immediately in the way he eased off the throttle a fraction earlier than he needed to, the particular quality of his silence on the ride back that had nothing to do with focus and everything to do with something sitting heavy in him.He cut the engine in the garage and didn’t move right away.I climbed off and turned to look at him.“What’s wrong?” I asked.He looked at the handlebars for a moment. “That road,” he said. “Every time we go near it something in me says we shouldn’t go further… I don’t ignore that feeling often.”I had never heard him say anything like that before… Not Killian, who walked into every room like he had already decided how it was going to go. Not the man who had crouched in an enemy cell and offered me a way out without flinching once.Something about the road was getting to him at a level his control couldn

    Killian’s POVI watched Selene walk away and felt no regret about it. There had been a time when asking Selene to leave a room would make me feel guilty because she had been part of the people who helped me out in this pack for long enough that dismissing or disagreeing with her would cost me. Right now it was just a decision I had made and moved past.I went back inside and called Kael who arrived shortly.“You’re in charge until we return,” I said. “Keep the pack safe. I want guards posted outside Ethan’s room, Asher’s room and Zeus’ room. Nobody goes in or out without your permission.” I paused. “And Kael… if anything moves that shouldn’t, you call me immediately.”“Understood,” he said. “How long will you be gone?”“As long as it takes,” I said.Maya found me in the corridor on my way out.She was frowning, which with Maya meant something was wrong. Maya’s face moved through emotions deliberately, which made each one worth paying attention to.“You’re leaving,” she said.“We’re l

    Rae’s POVThe raven didn’t move for a long moment.It sat on the windowsill with the stillness of something that had been placed there rather than landed on its own. Its eyes catching the low light in a way that felt deliberate. Then it opened its wings slowly, and lifted into the dark without a so

    Rae’s POVI stood at the window for a long moment after the cold breeze moved through the room.Then I walked towards the wardrobe.I changed quickly into dark clothes, something I could move in without restriction, and I thought about what Zeus wanted me to do and my suspicions. Zeus had sent Ashe

    Rae’s POVI didn’t realize I’d fallen asleep until the darkness woke me.One moment I was lying on the bed staring at the ceiling, turning Killian’s raised voice over in my mind like a stone I kept finding new edges on, and the next the room was dim and the compound outside had gone quiet in the pa

    Killian’s POVShe hadn’t said more words since we left the hospital, she was completely silent.I watched her from the corner of my eye as we rode back, the way her body was present on the bike but her mind was somewhere else entirely, running through something she hadn’t invited me into. I knew th
