Vivienne’s PovBy the time I returned to the mansion, I had decided I deserved some kind of recognition.Well, I'm not talking about a medal exactly, because that felt dramatic, but at least a small celebration. Maybe food, applause or one person standing at the entrance and saying, 'Vivienne, congratulations on attending a diplomatic meeting without throwing anyone through a window.'Considering how badly one of the Red Hollow representatives had tested my patience, I thought that was reasonable.“I behaved very well,” I told Ivy as I stepped through the entrance hall and pulled the veil away from my face.She gave a dry little hum inside my head. “You threatened a diplomat.”“I negotiated with him.”“You stood up because you wanted to hit him.”“But I did not hit him.” I handed the veil to a passing servant and straightened my clothes, satisfied with that distinction. “That is growth.”Ivy laughed. “You were imagining exactly where your palm would land.”“That is not illegal.”“It s

Vivienne POVI stepped away from Kane once my breathing was steady enough, although he stayed close behind me. None of the men tried to stop me when I faced Zach again. They knew I needed this, and after everything we had already discovered, I wasn't leaving the room with another collection of half-answers.Looking at Zach still hurt in ways I hated, but the tears had cleared enough for anger to return. This time, instead of seeing the friend I had mourned, I forced myself to remember that night exactly as it happened. I had woken up missing the four men so badly that I could barely think straight. My body had still been weak, yet I had dragged myself out of bed because I needed to see them. Zach had found me in the hallway. He had touched my arm, asked what was wrong and offered to call the Alphas after I told him where I was going.Then he disappeared.Minutes later, I walked into Asher's room and found Zach lying in a pool of blood while Asher stood there holding a bloody dagger.T

Vivienne Maya was beside him almost immediately, her hand moving toward his chest as his breathing changed. “Careful, Big sis.”I froze. The faint dark veins that had nearly disappeared beneath Zach's skin were beginning to show again along his neck, and Mara moved to his other side before he could attempt an answer.“Don't speak,” she warned him. “Whatever that question touched, leave it alone.”But Zach was already staring at me.Something about his expression made my stomach twist. There was pain there, but it wasn't only pain. I saw pity in his eyes, followed by the same fear that had appeared before the binding nearly killed him. He wasn't afraid of what I might do once I learned the truth.He was afraid of the truth itself.My mouth went dry. “It's someone I know.”Zach didn't nod this time, he didn't need to cause his expression had already answered me, and that frightened me more than any confirmation could have.“Someone close to me?”The veins darkened.“Vivienne.” Dante's

Author's pov Dante knew within five minutes that the attacks were not meant to destroy Shadowcrest.If they had been, whoever planned them had done a terrible job.Three eastern border posts had been attacked almost simultaneously, but none of the enemy groups had enough fighters to hold the territory after taking it. They struck quickly, caused damage, forced Shadowcrest warriors to respond and retreated the moment reinforcements arrived. The same thing was happening to Vivienne's empire. Two transport routes had been hit, a warehouse set on fire and another property attacked, yet none of the goods appeared to be the real target.It was pressure.Someone wanted them running in different directions.Dante stood over the large map spread across the council table while Lance continued receiving reports through the communication stones. Kane had already changed into combat clothes and was waiting beside the door, visibly impatient to leave.“They're testing the borders,” Kane said.“And

Author's POVVivienne went alone.At least, that was what her father was supposed to believe.The black vehicle stopped outside a massive iron gate nearly two hours from Shadowcrest, deep inside territory that officially belonged to no major pack. There were mountains on both sides, thick forest behind her and enough armed men positioned along the walls to make the place look less like a home and more like a private fortress.Vivienne stepped out slowly, she wore no veil and there was no point anymore.A man approached immediately and held out his hand. “Your weapons.”Vivienne looked at him, then at the other men surrounding the vehicle. “All of them?”His expression didn't change.She sighed and pulled the handgun from beneath her coat, then another from behind her waist. A knife came next. Then another.The man's eyes narrowed then Vivienne removed the small blade strapped to her thigh.“Finished?”She considered lying but Ivy snorted inside her."Behave."I am behaving.Vivienne h
