    The adrenaline of the confrontation sustained Vivienne through the remaining hour of the gala, but by the time she excused herself, the exhaustion hit her like a physical blow.The strange heat in her chest surged again, tighter this time, making her breath hitch as she entered the secure VIP elevator. She pressed her hand against her sternum, her brow furrowing. It felt less like an ache now and more like a physical tether, pulling her toward the lower levels of the city, demanding a proximity she couldn't comprehend. She shook her head, forcing the sensation down as the elevator descended smoothly into the subterranean levels of the complex.When the doors slid open, the warmth and luxury of the Kennedy Center vanished, replaced by the stark, sterile reality of the VIP underground parking garage. The space was a vast expanse of reinforced concrete, brightly lit by rows of harsh, humming fluorescent lights that cast long, distorted shadows across the painted aspha

    The descent in the elevator was charged with a completely different kind of energy than the ride up. It was the crackling, electric anticipation of an impending detonation. As soon as the steel doors opened into the underground parking garage, Dan was already moving toward the waiting black SUV, pulling his encrypted tablet from the leather briefcase.Lachlan slid into the back seat, the heavy doors of the armored vehicle thudding shut, sealing them inside the soundproof cabin."Talk to me," Lachlan ordered as the driver pulled the SUV out of the garage and into the gray, overcast mid-morning traffic of D.C.Dan’s fingers flew across the glass screen of his tablet, lines of text and secure portal logins reflecting in his dark eyes. "I’m authenticating the wire transfer now. I’m moving $3.5 million from your offshore holding account in the Caymans directly into the branch’s primary operating ledger. It’s categorized as a high-yield director’s loan to bypass the corporate freeze.""How

    "Meaning," Merrick said softly, "that the parent company—and the Vance Elders personally—will suddenly find themselves liable for every single debt, penalty, and federal fine associated with your energy branch." "The moment that file goes live, their personal assets, their offshore holdings, and their primary liquid accounts become vulnerable to federal seizure."Dan let out a low, slow breath. "You’re going to threaten to bankrupt the parent company to save the branch.""I am not going to threaten anything," Merrick corrected coldly. "I am going to file the injunction, freeze their primary operating accounts pending a federal review, and then I am going to offer them a way out."Merrick opened the leather folio, revealing a single, typed sheet of premium legal paper.

They will have three non-negotiable demands placed in front of them."He held up his hand, ticking

    The West Wing of the Livingston estate was a tomb of velvet and mahogany. The air felt stagnant, heavy with the scent of lilies from the funeral and the lingering dampness of Lachlan’s clothes.

    Vance stood up, pulling a heavy, leather-bound ledger from the center of the table. “According to the Blood Laws of the Silver Moon, an Alpha who willfully endangers the pack by refusing a necessary union during a state of siege is deemed unfit. You are acting out of grief, not leadership. You are

    The hallway leading to the council chambers was usually a place of reverence, lined with the portraits of Alphas who had bled for the Silver Moon.
