Tabitha’s POV“Ladies and gentlemen,” Alpha Eliott announces, lifting his glass once more. “Allow me to introduce our special guests tonight. Augustus Kingsley and his son, Andrew Kingsley.”The room responds with polite murmurs and raised glasses, but I barely hear any of it. I am too busy staring at Andrew standing beside his father. My brain lags behind the sight in front of me, as if it needs a moment to process that my friend is standing at the center of this gathering of Alphas and power players. What’s crazy is that they’re humans! And the kind who are probably not aware of the existence of werewolves—much more the fact that they are surrounded by them right now!Andrew scans the crowd until his eyes land on me. He smiles and winks. I manage to return a shaky smile. He has no idea that this place is brimming with predators. During the Tropical Thunder Circuit, there were plenty of humans around, but tonight is different! This is an all out werewolf gathering with only a handful

Tabitha’s POVRhett takes the lead the moment we step away from the table, and everyone falls in line behind him like a migrating pack that already knows the route. No one questions it. They just follow him.I keep my mouth shut although a part of me is already itching to ask a lot of questions.I trail after them as we leave the ballroom and spill out into the Sharpe estate grounds. Evening air settles on my skin as more than two dozen of us move across the stretch of land.Andrew slows until he is beside me. He looks equally confused.“Do you have any idea where we’re going or what this cave thing is?” he asks, glancing ahead.“Honestly, I don’t,” I say, shrugging. “I’m just going with the flow.”We keep walking until a massive structure comes into view. It looks like a cabin at first glance, but that word feels wrong the longer I stare. The front is tinted glass framed by dark wood and steel lines that curve into a cave-like shape. It feels like contemporary design swallowed a moun

Tabitha’s POVI end up going to the restroom after all. It takes a while because my hands are shaking and my thoughts keep spiraling. I stare at my reflection and breathe until my chest finally settles.Wilson’s reaction keeps replaying in my head. My hunch is right. He and Mom are tangled in something they should not be. The way he panicked earlier says everything. If that is not guilt then I do not know what is.After at least ten minutes, I wash my hands and leave the restroom. I head back to the arcade.There are more people inside the arcade room now. At least seven others crowd the room while the brothers are already deep into their games. Reed and Luca are still racing in the simulators while Jace is shooting hoops at a basketball arcade game. I also spot Evren hammering buttons on a fighting game that looks like Mortal Kombat. Or maybe Street Fighter? I’m honestly not sure.Just as I scan the room for another game to play, a light gun shooter catches my eye. Perfect! After my

Tabitha’s POVI wake up with a bad case of hangover. It’s my fault. When I chugged down my first few shots of tequila last night, I thought that I could take over the world and now I am paying the price.I drag myself downstairs for water while my head is pounding with every step. I spot Greta and Rose setting a bowl of soup on the counter like they already expect me to go here at this exact moment. The steam alone makes me feel marginally human again.I mutter a sheepish thank you as I sit on the counter and inhale the delicious scent of soup.“Where’s my mom?” I ask.Rose hands me a spoon while Greta pours me a glass of water which I immediately take a swig.“She’s with Alpha Emery,” Rose answers. “They’re talking in his study.”I frown. Mom is talking with Alpha Emery?I glance down the hallway that leads to the study, its door closed and quiet, and for a second I consider walking over. But of course I don’t. If they’re in there, then they must be talking about something serious. I

Tabitha’s POVI can’t stop myself from pacing around as the clock strikes at midnight. I’m supposed to be at Hakai Pier by this time, but here I am still in my room! I’m getting too used to getting late.I glance through the window and notice the silhouettes of guards posted and roaming around the mansion. I’m not sure if I’m only noticing this now or there have always been guards stationed outside the mansion. Either way, I won’t be able to sneak out of the estate at this rate.I need to find a way to get out of here and meet with Wilson. I don’t fully believe his words, but there is a nagging feeling at the back of my head that keeps screaming for the truth, and for now, Wilson feels like the only key that can unlock it.“Ah, damn it,” I mutter under my breath as another minute passes by.I’m not gonna accomplish anything by staying here.So I do the smartest thing I can think of and sneak out of the window.My room sits high enough that the ground looks farther than I would like. I
