More students poured in the party, drawn by laughter, alcohol. Red cups clinked. Bottles were passed. Someone climbed onto a table and howled like a wolf high on freedom.Scarlet danced barefoot on cold marble, her hair loose, her eyes glowing with a dangerous kind of relief. She felt alive without fear choking her throat.Grey stayed close. Mira did too.Mira leaned into Grey’s side, smiling softly, fingers curling possessively into his sleeve. Grey let her. He always did. His arm stayed around her waist.Scarlet noticed the way Mira kept glancing around...checking who was watching, who was listening. As if this happiness needed witnesses to be real. Students laughed, drank, flirted, shouted Scarlet’s name like she was some kind of victory symbol.Grey stood.He climbed onto a chair, then the table, his height instantly commanding attention. His growl rolled through the room...not aggressive, but powerful enough to shut everyone the fuck up.“Cheers,” he said, raising his cup.The r

“Why are we getting arrested?! Zeta...ZETA!” Thane’s scream tore through the hall like shattered glass. His voice cracked, raw and desperate, echoing off the ancient stone walls as silver cuffs bit into his wrists.Zeta didn’t answer him. She stood perfectly still as the werewolf police closed in, her jaw clenched so tight her teeth audibly ground against each other. Even cuffed, even cornered, she radiated menace. Her wolf snarled beneath her skin, vibrating with restrained violence.One officer reached out to grip her arm.Zeta’s eyes flashed. A low growl rumbled from her chest.The officer froze, they all did.They knew better. Zeta hated unnecessary touch. Everyone in the Lycan world knew that. Touching her without consent was a quick way to end up dead...or worse.“Back,” one of the officers muttered to his team. “Give her space.”They loosened their circle, keeping distance while maintaining control.Thane struggled harder. “Zeta, say something! Tell them they’re wrong! Tell the

Mira walked out without a word. Scarlet watched her go, fingers curling slowly at her sides. Grey stood frozen near the doorway, his jaw tight, his eyes dark with things he wasn’t saying. No one chased Mira. No one dared.Because when a witch like Mira chose silence, it was never peace.Scarlet woke the next morning with a scream lodged in her throat.A mind-link exploded inside her skull, sharp and violent, like a time bomb detonating behind her eyes."ALL LYCAN BLOODLINES ARE SUMMONED.""THE FAMILY OF THE LYCAN KING, ZETAS, ALPHAS, AND HEIRS.""MANDATORY ATTENDANCE."Scarlet clutched her head, gasping. Her wolf snarled. "This isn’t a meeting. It’s a fucking execution ground."Her heart hammered as she forced herself upright...and that was when she noticed it.Mira’s bed was untouched. Scarlet inhaled slowly, scenting the air. No trace of her presence lingering in the room.She swallowed hard. “She didn’t come back,” Scarlet whispered.Her wolf hummed darkly. "She spent the night at

“Is he hurting you?” Grey’s voice cut through the noise like a blade through silk,soft, careful, devastating.Scarlet froze. Those words weren’t loud or dramatic but they carried weight, concern, protectiveness, something frighteningly real. And the most fucked-up part? Grey wasn’t even supposed to feel this.Mira’s hypnosis should’ve dulled everything. Flattened emotions. Turned Scarlet into background noise.Yet here he was, eyes locked on Scarlet’s face, pupils blown wide, thumb brushing her knuckles like he’d done it a hundred times before.Scarlet’s breath stuttered. “No,” she lied quickly, voice tight. “I’m fine.”Grey didn’t believe her. He never had been good at believing her lies. His fingers tightened around hers warm, grounding, dangerous.Mira snapped. She folded her arms hard against her chest, nails biting into her own skin as jealousy twisted her face ugly. “Grey,” she said sharply, forcing a smile that didn’t reach her eyes, “this is our date. You’re supposed to be foc

Blade’s comforting smile lingered a second too long. That was when Scarlet knew ...really knew ...that something about it was wrong.It wasn’t warm anymore. It felt rehearsed. Plastic. Like a mask glued too tight to his face.She shifted subtly, creating space between them, her shoulders angling away as if her body had decided fuck this before her mind could fully catch up. She forced a smile anyway, the kind women learned early ...polite, harmless, non-threatening.“When do I return to the Lycan’s mansion?” she asked lightly, wiping the last of her tears with the back of her hand. “There’s a lot to be done. Finding the killer shouldn’t be dragged out here. It should happen there.”Blade’s response was immediate. Too immediate.“No.”The word hit sharp.Her wolf snarled softly inside her skull.Blade straightened, his tone firm, clipped. “It’s risky. You shouldn’t go back there yet. Leave everything to me.”Scarlet smirked ...just for a second ...before forcing her face smooth again.

“This was a favour,” Mira said coldly.Then she paused, just long enough to twist the knife deeper. “A final one.”Scarlet felt it hit...harder than any slap.“Whatever you’re fighting,” Mira added, voice low and distant, “fight it without me.” The words sank into Scarlet’s chest like poisoned hooks. She stood there, frozen, mouth slightly open, like a fucking idiot who hadn’t seen the punch coming.Mira didn’t even look back. She just walked away, boots crunching against gravel...like Scarlet had never mattered enough to hesitate for and that… that hurt more than Scarlet wanted to admit.Her throat tightened. Her wolf whimpered, curling inward like a wounded thing. "Why does it hurt this fucking much?" she asked herself bitterly. "Aren’t I supposed to be the angry one?"Wasn’t she supposed to be furious at Mira for fucking Grey? For choosing him? For moving on while Scarlet’s life was collapsing into blood and betrayal and madness?Instead, she felt hollow and abandoned. Left behind
