KATARINA

I awoke slowly, with warmth wrapping around me, making me want to stay exactly where I was, and for a brief moment, I did not move. I just lay there, tucked up against something solid and safe.

My senses returned in pieces, the softness of the sheets, the quiet stillness of the room, and the slow rise and fall beneath my cheek—Greyson.

My eyes flickered open to find his gaze already on my face, and when my eyes met his, something in his expression softened even further. My lips formed

    ALEXANDER“Fuck,” I cursed under my breath the second the door slammed behind her, the image of her tear-streaked face burning itself into my mind. I hadn’t meant to explode like that. The words had flown out of me before I could stop them—all the frustration, jealousy, and self-loathing I’d been carrying for weeks pouring out onto the one person who least deserved it. She had come to me scared and vulnerable, and I had shoved her away like the asshole she said I was. I reached out through the mind-link to my brother, pissed at him. Where the hell are you? Katarina is losing her mind. But there was silence. I wasn't getting through to him. He knew Katarina wasn’t built for this life the way Cyra was. She worried with her whole heart. And she cared so deeply it made her fragile in ways most Alpha wolves had long since hardened against. And I had also made her cry.“Dammit,” I muttered, yanking a shirt over my head. I didn’t even bother with shoes. I stormed out of my suite and down

    GREYSON I didn't go home as Cyra said. I drove past the turnoff to the stronghold and kept going. My mind felt like it was being torn apart from the inside, and there was no rest left in me.Every answer I thought I had ever possessed was gone, and every certainty had crumbled. There was only one place left I could think of going—the seer.I had no idea what time it was when I arrived, and I didn't remember most of the drive. I only remembered stopping the car and climbing out. I was still bloodied, as I had not showered and wiped myself down instead. I also had no shirt on, and I was barefoot. The elevator felt like it took too long before I finally arrived and knocked—or more accurately, pounded against the door. The door opened almost immediately as if she had been waiting. She didn't flinch at the sight of me and instead stepped aside. I entered, the familiar scent of herbs and smoke filling the room as I stumbled toward one of the chairs and sank into it.The seer disappeared

    THIRD PARTY POVCyra watched from the shadows in shock as Greyson stood over Marcus's body, staring down at him as if he couldn't understand what had just happened. But a furious growl shattered the silence before she could comprehend what she'd just witnessed. The sound seemed to shake the entire villa, and Greyson's head snapped up just as the door behind Marcus's body burst open.Two men came charging out, took one look at the scene before them, and immediately shifted. Their bodies changed mid-stride, bones cracking and reforming as massive wolves launched themselves through the air.Greyson barely had time to react before they slammed into him with enough force to knock him off his feet. They all crashed into the ground in a tangled mass of teeth and claws. And Cyra moved on instinct.She had been on her way to Greyson when she saw his car race past her toward Blue Sands Resort. And she'd followed.Earlier, when she called Katarina, she had already planned to check Greyson's old

    KATARINAThere was a brief pause on the other end before Cyra spoke, and rather than responding, she asked if I was all right.I frowned. “Yes. Why?"She claimed I sounded off. “Like… worried. Or something." I closed my eyes briefly, realizing that my anxiety had spilled into my voice without my realizing.“I'm fine. I'm just... worried about Greyson."Cyra's voice immediately softened, and she asked why. “Is Greyson OK?"“I don't know. He left for a last-minute meeting with a client about five hours ago and is still not home." I glanced back at the front door as I spoke, as if opening up to Cyra would cause him to appear in the doorway. “I know I probably shouldn't be concerned," I said quietly. “He's probably fine. But I can't help but feel bad in the back of my mind."“I understand. Have you tried to call him?" She asked, and I told her I had and how it went. I heard her inhale softly, as if she were going to say something, but I spoke first.“Do you need anything?" I asked since s

    CYRAI stayed pressed against the side of the building, barely breathing as I watched Greyson and Marcus in the lot, and I still didn’t understand what was happening.One second, Greyson had Marcus by the collar. The next moment, he shoved him hard enough to send him stumbling. My heart raced faster with every second. And just then Marcus said something I couldn’t hear, but it made Greyson snarl.The sound froze me in place, but his next words sent a gasp ripping through me so sharp I stumbled.“Stop calling me that. I’m not your son!”Everything inside me went cold, and my eyes widened as the words landed. Marcus was Greyson’s father? Oh Goddess. Greyson yanked open his car door and got in, and a second later the engine roared, and he tore out of the lot.I stayed frozen for one heartbeat longer, staring after the disappearing taillights before looking back at Marcus, who had dropped into a crouch where Greyson’s car had been a moment ago, one hand braced against the gravel like his

    CYRAI followed Greyson through the dark roads until the familiar streets thinned out, giving way to rougher, quieter edges of the city. It was then that it became clear where he was going—Human’s Ville.I frowned as I kept driving. What was he doing here? Greyson never came here unless he had no other choice. He didn’t like it, didn’t trust it, and he especially didn’t mix business in places like this.I slowed as he turned off the main road and watched him pull into a narrow street lined with dim lights and closed shops, then finally stopped in front of an old establishment that looked half-alive at best.I stayed back as he parked and then got out. Looking around, I quickly pulled into a shadowed space a short distance away and watched him walk toward the entrance.I waited until he disappeared inside before I moved. Then I got out too. Keeping to the dark edges of the street, I moved closer, careful with every step. The building had a dull glow inside that barely spilled onto the
