The darkness swirled around me like a heavy fog, thick and suffocating. My heart was pounding, each beat echoing in my ears. I tried to move, but my limbs feel heavy, unresponsive, like they were weighed down by the very air around me.

“Rachael...”

Kelvin’s voice. It was distant, but the raw concern in it cut through the haze that clouded my mind. I tried to focus, to open my eyes, but everything felt blurry. The room I was in was cold, the stone beneath me hard and unyielding.

“Kelvin?” My voice was weak, barely more than a whisper. But it didn’t matter. He would hear me. He always did.

Suddenly, I felt something warm press against my hand. I clenched my fingers, instinctively reaching for it, and the warmth grew stronger.

“Stay with me, Rachael,” Kelvin said urgently. His grip tightened around my hand, his voice now right beside me. “You’re safe. Just breathe.”

Safe? How could I be safe when that man—whoever he was—had just threatened to take the Flame? And

    "I'm staying. I need to document this place. Make sure what happened here can't be hidden or covered up."They didn't argue. Just nodded and started for the stairs, supporting each other. I watched them go, hoping they'd make it but not certain.That left the girl. Subject Seventeen. The Ghost Wolf child whose name had been erased along with her future."I'll come back for you," I told her, though I wasn't sure she could hear me. "I promise. I'll find a way to help you, or at least make sure you're comfortable. You won't die alone in a cell."Her eyes flickered toward me for just a moment. Recognition? Understanding? I couldn't tell. But I'd made the promise anyway.I turned back to Mike. "Show me everything. Every room. Every experiment. Every piece of evidence that this facility exists."We moved through the complex, and each room revealed new horrors. Storage units containing biological samples labeled with clinical precision. "Ghost Wolf essence - 94% purity." "Werewolf enhancemen

    The door marked "electrical" looked exactly like every other maintenance access point in the underground tunnel system. Rusted metal. Faded warning signs. A simple padlock that appeared decades old.But when Mike pressed his palm against what looked like a rust stain, I felt the magic pulse. Recognition wards. Biometric locks. Enchantments designed to keep out anyone who wasn't authorized.The door clicked open, revealing stairs that descended into deeper darkness."How far down?" I asked, my senses straining to detect what lay below."Three levels," Mike said, his voice hollow. "Kelly insisted on depth. Said it would muffle the sounds."The sounds. I didn't ask what the sound was. I already knew. Screams. Begging. The desperate noises victims made when hope died and only suffering remained.I pushed him forward down the stairs, my hand on his shoulder both to guide and restrain him. The air grew colder as we descended, taking on a sterile quality that reminded me too much of Kelly's

    And Christopher struck me as someone who didn't take unnecessary risks."Stand down," he ordered his hunters. They hesitated, then lowered their weapons slightly. "You have one minute to explain what you want.""I want to leave. With Mike. Once I'm clear of your forces, I'll release him with instructions on where to find his hidden files.""Unacceptable. Mike stays with us. You can leave if you somehow manage to break through our perimeter."I was already gathering power, preparing for what came next. "Counteroffer. I leave with Mike, but I tell you where one set of files is hidden right now. Proof I'm negotiating in good faith."Christopher studied me for a long moment. "Where?""Mike's basement vault. Behind a false wall in the wine cellar. Contains documentation on five Ghost Wolves in the northern territories. Locations, habits, weaknesses."Mike's face went white. I'd just condemned five Ghost Wolves I'd never met to Christopher's hunters. The guilt would come later. Right now, s

    Christopher Newt didn't give me time to think.The moment his declaration of execution left his lips, his hunters moved. Not in a coordinated rush like Mike's warriors had. These moved like a machine, each piece working in perfect sync with the others. Three flanks left, cutting off escape routes. Three went right, doing the same. Two dropped back to cover Christopher himself.And the remaining four came straight at me.I phased backward, my Ghost Wolf nature allowing me to slip through space. But they anticipated it. The moment I materialized, silver nets were already flying through the air. Not normal nets. These glowed with enchantments, pulsing with magic designed specifically to contain supernatural abilities.I rolled under the first net and came up swinging. My claws caught one hunter across the chest, shredding his combat armor like paper. He went down hard but didn't scream. Just grunted and rolled away, already reaching for backup weapons.Professional. These weren't mercena

    Kelvin POVEven as I said it, doubt crept in. Might have been involved. Not definitely. Not certainly. The investigation was showing me that certainty was harder to find than I'd ever imagined.Thomas nodded, though his expression suggested he wasn't entirely convinced. "What do you need from me?""Information." I gestured to the stacks of documents. "I need you to quietly pull files on everyone who was part of the original investigation. Guards who gave statements. Council members who drew conclusions. Anyone with direct involvement.""You think someone on our side was compromised?""I think someone wanted my parents dead and Ghost Wolves blamed." I met his eyes. "And if that's true, if there's a traitor still operating in our territory, I need to know before they realize I'm looking."Thomas's jaw clenched. "Understood. I'll be discreet."He turned to leave, but I called him back. "One more thing. Pull any records we have on financial transactions from that time period. Anything unu

    Kelvin POVThe mate bond burned.Not the way it had earlier, when Racheal's rage had exploded through our connection with enough force to drive me to my knees. This was different. Steady. Constant. Like standing too close to a forge, feeling the heat without seeing the flames.She was still fighting. Still destroying. Still consumed by whatever vendetta had driven her to attack Crimson Moon Pack.I tried to ignore it, focusing instead on the documents spread across my father's desk. The study was exactly as he'd left it the night he died. His reading glasses on the blotter. A half-finished letter to an allied alpha. Books stacked in the precise order he preferred. My mother had wanted to clean it out, but I'd refused. Kept it as a shrine to his memory.Now, years later, I was finally seeing it with new eyes.The official reports sat in neat stacks on my left. Witness statements. Investigation findings. Conclusions reached by the pack council. Everything pointed to the same answer: Gho
