The Velmora Palace was already shrouded in silence by the time Fabrizio returned. He got out of the car, passed the guards on duty and went inside. His footsteps echoed along the long, black-marble-lined corridor lit by dim wall lamps. The faint metallic scent of blood from the earlier fight still clung to his senses.

Fabrizio removed his long coat as he reached the main hall. His shoulders tensed slightly. His thoughts lingered on the bodies lying on the asphalt and those dark eyes staring emptily in the face of death.

“Beta, Fabrizio. You’ve returned?”

Fabrizio’s steps halted at once. He turned and saw Ruth approaching. “Watcher Ruth,” he greeted her, slightly surprised. “Yes, I’ve just come back.” He cleared his throat softly. His brow furrowed faintly as he asked, “You haven’t gone to sleep yet?”

“That's how it is. The older you get, the more there is to think about,”

    A thin mist still hung low when Fabrizio stepped out of the west wing of the palace. The cold air brushed against his skin, yet he walked on steadily, without hesitating for a moment. The night before had been far too long, and that morning allowed no room for complacency. There were many important matters he had to settle as quickly as possible.The black car was already there. Fabrizio got in and started the engine immediately. He drove off.The palace gates opened wide to clear the way for him. The car moved forward, descending the stone road that stretched alongside the palace and leaving the main building behind. It entered a more secluded area.The buildings there were more functional, devoid of excessive ornamentation or luxury. Everything was designed with a clear purpose: control and defence.The Velmora Guard Headquarters stood not far from the palace and was connected to it by a special route used only by internal personnel. The solid, dark gre

    The atmosphere shifted instantly. The doorbell rang again, echoing through the small living room and abruptly ending the soft, casual conversation that had been flowing just moments before.Eirene froze. Her body went rigid as Sabrina and Chloe looked at her. For a moment, she was unsure of what to do, her mind going blank.Sabrina stepped a few paces away from the door. She looked at Eirene with a conflicted expression. “What should we do?” she asked softly, as if afraid that Bradley might hear her from outside. “Do you want to see him?”Eirene did not answer right away. Instead, she remained still, her hands clasped together in her lap. Her chest rose and fell slowly while, inside her head, countless voices from the past crowded in, followed by a flood of unpleasant memories.Everything was still painfully clear in Eirene’s mind. She saw Bradley’s face—his smile, his tone of voice, and the words she had once bel

    Eirene remained standing in place. She remained motionless for a moment.The silence of the ninth-floor corridor was broken only by the sound of Yoren's repetitive motion. The white ceiling lights cast pale reflections on the floor, making the atmosphere feel cold and slightly unfamiliar.Eirene lowered her head. Her gaze fell and remained fixed on the business card that she had held for the past few minutes. The card stock was thin, yet it felt heavy in her hand.Fabrizio Dalton’s name kept circling in Eirene’s mind. She flipped the card over once, then twice, hoping there would be another answer printed on the back. But there wasn't. The business card contained only Fabrizio’s name and contact number.Eirene let out a long breath. For reasons she could not explain, her chest felt tight. Even breathing did not bring her any relief, despite her having felt free when she left the palace. Perhaps it was all related to the attack she had ju

    The black wolf moved without warning. Its movements were efficient. Its body shot forward like a shadow released from the darkness and slammed into one of the enemy wolves with brutal force.There was a loud crash as the enemy wolf’s body was hurled into a large tree. The tree split and shattered, and the sound of the enemy wolf’s bones cracking made Eirene’s stomach churn.Eirene watched the one-against-six fight, holding her breath. From this brief observation alone, she could tell that the black wolf’s movements were extremely fast and precise. The longer it went on, the less it resembled a fight and the more it resembled an execution.The second wolf had not even managed to rise when the black wolf’s jaws closed around its throat. Its fangs clamped down and tore violently through skin and flesh. Blood splattered onto the asphalt—warm and thick. Then the body went limp and lifeless, no longer moving.Eirene froze. Th

    “You.”The word still hung in the air as Eirene swallowed hard. The world around her seemed to shrink, as if the motorcycle headlights shining on her face were all that remained. The engines growled low behind the men, sending vibrations through the ground and into her soles, stiffening her calves.Eirene looked at the big man who had just pointed at his own chest and said that they wanted her, not anyone else. His eyes were those of someone who had done this many times before. He didn’t look nervous or hesitant, signalling to her that they had indeed prepared for this.“You’re insane,” Eirene snapped, quicker than she had planned. A slight tremor crept into her voice, but she didn’t dwell on it. She glanced briefly at the other men and her instincts flared at once. She knew they were not ordinary humans. They were not just a biker gang. They were the same as her. “Go and keep sleeping!” It didn't take her lo
