Ethan paced his study, the steady tap of his shoes on the hardwood floor the only sound in an otherwise silent room. With a loud smack, he planted his hand onto the desk, his frustration clouding normally well-composed features. "This is getting annoying and frustrating, Luca," Ethan muttered, his eyes on the delta opposite him. "You have been tailing him for more than a week now. Another day of tailing Liam, and still, nothing? No leads, no suspicious movements?"Luca adjusted his stance, his jaw tightening. "I've been shadowing him closely, Ethan. The man is as clean as a polished blade. No late-night meetings, no cryptic conversations—just the usual pack routines and his time with… you know? Ayla."At the mention of Ayla, Ethan's expression hardened. He turned away, his gaze fixed on the window overlooking the darkened pack grounds. "And Ayla?" Luca took a moment to form an answer. "She spends more time with Liam. They seem to be drawing closer. Laughing with him, sharing quiet ti

The trees around the forest swayed, and it would have seemed, had one been standing there, that they whispered secrets to one another. The air was thick with tension but for the crunch of dry leaves beneath Sophie's boots, standing in a small clearing, arms across her chest, wearing her patience thin."Of course, he's late," she growled, for what felt like the hundredth time, consulting her watch. "Typical Liam, always the big entrance."Anger and suspicion swirled in her head. The mind-blowing revelation from Silas that Liam was her cousin, the master behind it all. How could he not share such a huge thing with her? And more importantly, what was his motive?A soft rustle behind her made her spin around, her heart pounding.“Impatient, aren't we?” Liam's smooth voice cut through the night as he stepped out from the shadows.Sophie narrowed her eyes. “You're late.”Liam's lips curled into an amused smirk. “You're early. Or perhaps you're just eager to confront me. So, what's this abou

LOYALTY BAIT."Tell me, Luca, how does it feel to be helpless?" Liam's voice cut through the darkness of that room, cold, almost calculated as if some important chess move would be made in a minute, casual, as he leaned on the frail wooden table, and a bulb above seemed to distort all the shadows beyond proportion.Luca strained against the ropes binding his wrists and ankles, his muscles burning with the effort. His heart pounded in his chest, but he kept his expression defiant, refusing to show any fear."Do you think this changes anything?" Luca spat, his voice steady despite the searing pain in his shoulders. "Ethan will come for me. And when he does, you'll regret this."Liam let out a low, amused chuckle that ran chills down the length of Luca's spine. "Regret now?" That is a luxury I can ill afford, my friend. I make no move without calculating the cost. And let me reassure you-you are worth every penny.”Liam leaned forward and snatched the knife from off the table, flipping i

“How could Luca just disappear like that?" Ethan's voice boomed across the office. His hands landed heavy on the mahogany desk, while his eyes clung to his beta, Grayson, who stood turgidly by the door.Grayson squared his shoulders in defense to mask the unease. "I have sent out patrols to scour the nearby area, but so far there's no trace of him yet, Alpha.”Ethan's jaw clenched, frustration evident in the tense lines of his face. “Three days, Grayson. He's been gone for three damn days. That's not like him. Luca doesn't just vanish without a word.”“I understand, Alpha,” Grayson replied evenly, though his heart raced. “We'll find him. I'll double the search teams.”Ethan paced the length of the room, his movements sharp and restless. "It's not just his absence. Something's off. I can feel it. Someone's hiding something." He stopped dead, fixing Grayson with a steely glare. "I want answers. Now."Grayson swallowed hard; his mind was racing with how much to say without setting Sophie

“Grayson, no more of your excuses," Ethan growled, banging his fist on the desk. He was nowhere near composed. "Five days in, and we have no clue as to where Luca is. How does that even happen?”Grayson shifted, his gaze going to the floor. "Alpha, we followed every lead we had, and as such, he said the trail went cold on the southern border. Whoever did this ain't leaving it out in the open to be found.""Not good enough, we have been going back and forth with the same cycle for days.” Ethan growled, the amber eyes chipping hot with frustration. "Luca is my Delta, my brother in everything but the blood running through our veins. I will not sit around inactivity while he is out there, probably injured or worse.”Grayson hedged, his words laced with consideration. "Alpha, I understand your frustration, but this could get worse by rushing in. We need a solid plan-”"To hell with plans!" Ethan boomed, rising from his seat. "Since you will not act, then I shall."
