Cole's POV I walked slowly towards Marek with both of my hands raised so they could see that I was not holding anything anymore, because I had already dropped my weapon, the truth was that they had already trapped me from every angle. My heart was beating so hard that I could hear the sound inside my ears, and my wolf was restless, angry, and ready to tear everyone in this room apart, but I forced it down because if I lost control now, Lior would die and Esme would also die, and that was something I could never allow. “Cole, no!” Esme screamed, her voice breaking in a way that made my chest tighten. “Don’t do this, please don’t do this, they are lying, they won’t keep their word.” I did not even look at her at first because if I looked at her, I knew I would lose my resolve and attack them without thinking, and that would be the end of everything. Instead, I kept my eyes on Marek, who was watching me like this was some kind of entertainment, like he had already won. “Keep walking

Cole's POV The moment they started dragging Esme away, something inside me snapped, but I forced myself to stay calm because panic would only make things worse, and right now I needed to control myself more than anything else. I looked at Raid and gave him a small signal, something only he would understand because we had fought together for years and we did not need many words to communicate. His eyes flickered for a second, and I knew he got it.I had already mindlinked Esme before they dragged her out, and I could still feel the weak connection between us. “I will save you and our son,” I told her, my voice firm in her head even though everything inside me was shaking. “Trust me. Just trust me.”I felt her fear, her pain, but also her trust, and that alone gave me strength.The first thing I needed to do was simple but dangerous. I needed that watch on Marek’s wrist. That was the control for the bomb connected to Lior, and if I could get it, then everything would be easy.When Mar

Raid’s POVThe next morning started strange, and I could not explain why, but something in my chest felt tight like something big was about to happen, and it made me restless as I walked through the hallway searching for Shawn.Shawn.I had been looking everywhere for him, checking the training ground, the kitchen, the control room, even the security wing, but he was nowhere to be found, and that was unlike him because Shawn was always glued to his systems or buried in his machines, so when I did not see him there, I knew something was off.I grabbed one of the men passing by.“Have you seen Shawn?” I asked.“Yes,” he answered quickly. “He went into the private room.”The private room.My heart skipped.That was the room where Esme’s body was kept.I did not wait.I turned and walked fast, almost running, my boots hitting the floor hard as I moved down the hallway and toward that section of the house that felt colder than the rest.The guards outside the room looked surprised to see m

Raid’s POVBy the time Shawn and I were done setting everything in place, I felt lighter than I had in two weeks, and that alone scared me because hope had never been something I trusted, not in this kind of life, not in this kind of world, but today was different because for the first time since that terrible day, there was a real chance that Esme was not gone forever.Shawn had confirmed it again and again, and even though he was careful with his words, I could see the excitement in his eyes and the tension in his shoulders.“She is not dead,” he had said. “Her brain activity is active but suppressed, and her wolf is protecting her core. What she needs now is Neural Alpha Reawakening, a controlled stimulation that can pull her consciousness back slowly.”It sounded complicated and dangerous and insane, but if anyone could do it, it was Shawn.I was packing the last few tools when my phone vibrated in my hand.I looked down.One message./Come to the cell room now./The sender.Cole.

Raid’s POVThe ride back was quiet but the silence inside the vehicle felt stiff and uncomfortable, and every time I glanced at the rear seat where Marek was tied down, I could see the fear slowly growing in his eyes as the reality of his situation settled inside his head.Marek had been arrogant and loud and confident, but now he looked different because his legs were bleeding badly from the gunshots and every bump on the road made him groan in pain while he tried to hold himself together.He kept looking at Cole again and again like he was hoping to see some kind of mercy in his face, but there was nothing there.Absolutely nothing.Cole drove the entire time without speaking, his hands steady on the wheel and his eyes cold and distant like he was already thinking about the things he planned to do once we arrived.I had known Cole for many years and I had seen him angry before. I had seen him kill without hesitation and destroy enemies without blinking, but what I was seeing now was
