Memory returned as a smell before it became a picture.
Smoke. Wet stone. My mother's blood.
I sat on the floor of Luca's bedroom with Aiko's hidden ledger open in front of me and the photograph of Sofia propped against a lamp. Kenji had objected to using scent memory without a doctor. Luca had objected to waiting while Aiko remained captive. I had resolved the dispute by reminding both men that the memory belonged to me.

HANAMemory returned as a smell before it became a picture.Smoke. Wet stone. My mother's blood.I sat on the floor of Luca's bedroom with Aiko's hidden ledger open in front of me and the photograph of Sofia propped against a lamp. Kenji had objected to using scent memory without a doctor. Luca had objected to waiting while Aiko remained captive. I had resolved the dispute by reminding both men that the memory belonged to me.Yuna recognized the procedure. Ward's clinic used it to force frightened omegas to recall routes, faces, and commands. With a safe scent anchor, she said, the memory could be entered without becoming trapped inside it.Nothing about the night qualified as safe.Emi had cleared the bedroom and stationed guards at both entrances. Marco remained with Yuna downstairs, under watch and out of Luca's reach. The safehouse smelled faintly of gas despite the open windows. Dawn had begun whitening the skyline. The
The Omega Claimed by Two Rival Crime Lords The Woman in the Photo
HANALuca touched the screen as if glass could become skin under enough pressure.Sofia had his eyes. The resemblance survived fourteen years, hollow cheeks, and a scar running from her temple into her hairline. Aiko looked worse. Bruising darkened one side of her face, but the hand holding the card was steady.HE KNOWS NOW.The message could mean Luca knew Sofia was alive. It could mean Julian Ward knew we had traced the clinic. It could mean whoever sent the photograph had stopped caring whether we understood anything at all.I enlarged the image.The photograph had been cropped tight, but not perfectly. A strip of stainless steel appeared beside Aiko's shoulder. A medical light reflected in Sofia's eyes. The pupils were equal. Neither woman appeared sedated.They wanted us to read the card.They also wanted us to see that both women were still capable of resisting.“The newspaper is real,”

KENJIThe first attacker died on the bakery stairs.We reached the safehouse in nine minutes. The trip should have taken fourteen. Luca drove. No traffic law survived.Hana checked her weapon in the back seat while I opened the live security feed. Half the cameras showed static. The others showed men in Council-gray tactical gear moving through the bakery below the townhouse. Their faces were hidden. Their formation was military. One paused to turn the bakery sign from CLOSED to OPEN.Anyone passing outside would assume the noise came from renovation.They had planned to kill quietly in the middle of a waking neighborhood.The second reached the townhouse kitchen before Luca broke his neck against the refrigerator. I put two bullets into the third and kept moving. Yuna's scent came from the second floor, sharp with terror but alive.Hana ran behind me despite three separate orders not to.The fourth order would

HANAThe Council expected my mates to fight over me.That was their first mistake.Their second was assuming I would wait quietly while they did it.Kenji and Luca had bowed their heads to me in front of the Council. The gesture lasted less than a breath, but every elder understood it. I felt the echo beneath my skin, an instinctive recognition more intimate than a kiss.It also gave me an argument.“No,” I said.Elder Vale looked almost bored. “The choice belongs to the recognized alphas.”“Article Nine, paragraph four.” I pulled the text onto the chamber wall. “Joint protectors may not transfer, surrender, or divide the endangered party's personhood without her witnessed consent.”Raffaele's attorney began turning pages.Luca leaned toward him. “Take your time. Some of the words are long.”Vale read the clause twice. “That

KENJIThe Moon Council chamber had been built beneath a bank because even immortal traditions preferred good real estate.We arrived through an armored elevator that required Hana's blood on a silver plate. The Council called it identity confirmation. I called it collecting a sample from an unregistered omega and wiped the plate clean with my handkerchief before the guard could object.Luca burned the handkerchief in an ashtray beneath the security camera.For once, we required no discussion.Stone wolves guarded the entrance. Silver had been worked into the doors in patterns designed to weaken anyone who entered shifted. Hana paused beneath the first arch and drew a careful breath.Her borrowed dress was black, severe, and cut close enough that every alpha in the corridor noticed when she moved. Luca noticed them noticing. I noticed Luca.The arrangement remained inefficient.Yuna had been taken to a treatment
The Omega Claimed by Two Rival Crime Lords The Omega They Left Behind
HANAThe men outside the warehouse weren't trying to get in.They were setting it on fire.Smoke poured beneath the loading-bay door as Luca carried the rescued omega toward the rear exit. Kenji moved ahead of them, shooting out the overhead lights before the attackers could use the windows. Darkness swallowed the warehouse. My wolf saw movement in silver edges and heat.For nine years, suppressants had kept her quiet enough that I could pretend she didn't exist. Now she guided me between crates with the certainty of an animal who had spent her entire life waiting for me to stop poisoning her.The irony was offensive.“Hana.” Kenji's voice came through the smoke. “Now.”I pulled the drive from the refrigeration console. A red warning flashed across the screen.PURGE ACTIVE.The system began deleting shipping records.I shoved the drive into my jacket and ran. Heat clawed beneath my ribs with every
