Doris stared straight ahead, her gaze fixed on the concrete pillar beyond the windshield, but she wasn’t seeing it. All she saw was Leonidas and Kylie. She saw a future where she remained forever in the shadows, serving the omega who had stolen her rightful place at his side.The silence stretched for a long time as the treason building up in her mind took shape. Finally, she spoke. “What do you want to know?”Gunner’s smirk widened into a wolfish grin. “Everything. Start with Leonidas and Kylie. How did it happen? What’s the real bond between them? What are his routines with her, his weaknesses where she’s concerned? I need to know how to pull her out from under him.”Doris hesitated.She inhaled slowly, then turned to face him fully.. “Before I say a single word, you will swear it on your pack. You will keep your end of this deal. You will not betray me, and you will not double-cross me once you have her. I want your word, Alpha Gunner.”Gunner arched a brow. “You don’t get to mak

KYLIE’S POV:Leonidas was quiet for a long time.So quiet that I wondered if I had pushed too far—if I had crossed a line he had spent his entire life guarding. His gaze dropped to the floor, his hands clasped loosely together, knuckles pale with restraint.“When you ask me to tell you everything,” he said finally, his voice roughened by memory, “you’re asking for a truth even I don’t fully understand.”I didn’t interrupt him.“Long ago,” he continued, “the Blood-Rose Pack was one of the strongest packs in the Republic. We were feared and respected. Our lands were fertile. Our warriors were many. More than three hundred members carried our mark.”His jaw tightened. “But generation after generation, we began to shrink. Wolves left. Others died in ways no one could explain. Accidents. Sudden illness. Madness.” He shook his head slightly. “At the time, no one connected it to anything specific. They thought it was fate. Or weakness.”He looked up at me then, his eyes dark with something

I took a breath, gathering the fragments of the vision still burning behind my eyes."I had an idea," I said slowly, "that touching you, intentionally, might trigger these trances. Not just random nightmares, but actual visions. Clues." Edgar’s eyes sharpened immediately.Leonidas went rigid. “Kylie, that's just—”"Listen to me,” I insisted gently. “Every time I’ve gone into one of those visions, it’s been after physical contact. The first time was when you marked me. Just now, it happened the moment our foreheads touched.”I looked at my hands, then back at him. "The dungeon. The town. They're not random. They're connected to your curse. And I think the bond is showing me what you can't see."Edgar leaned forward slightly. “You’re suggesting the curse reacts to intimacy.”“I’m suggesting,” I said carefully, “that it reveals something through it.”That made them both go quiet.Edgar spoke first, his voice thoughtful. “What did it reveal?”I turned to face him. "An abandoned town," I

Dawn came too quickly.I barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw that seepage beneath the statue, bleeding with black tendrils reached toward me.Whatever was down there, haunted my thoughts so much that I stayed awake. But even while awake, my mind still wasn't at rest. It kept returning to Doris. Something about the way she had volunteered the night before sat strangely in my chest. It was as if my instincts were yelling at me not to go with her. It was like a huge red flag I should've taken into consideration.Still, when she knocked on my door just after sunrise, I totally ignored the red flag. “Ready?” she asked.I grabbed my bag and opened the door. She stood there in traveling clothes, her hair pulled back, her grey eyes scanning me with what looked like concern."You didn't sleep," she observed."Neither did you," I countered.She smiled faintly. "Someone has to make sure we don't drive off a cliff."I appreciated the attempt at humor, even if it didn't quite reac

THIRD POV:Doris ran.Her boots pounded against the cracked earth, branches whipping at her arms and face as she tore through the undergrowth. She didn't look back. She couldn't. If she looks back, she semight seee those cold, pale eyes watching her flee."What was that?!" Her mind raced as fast as her feet. "Who were those guys? This wasn't supposed to end like this!"She ducked under a low branch, vaulted over a fallen log, her lungs still burning."Gunner said he'd be here," she gasped for air. "He promised he'd be waiting. So where was he?"The tree line finally broke. The SUV sat where they'd left it, dark and silent in the grey afternoon light. Doris stumbled toward it, gasping, her side screaming with a stitch.She yanked open the driver's door and reached for the center console. Her phone sat on the passenger seat.She had left it deliberately so Leonidas couldn't track her, couldn't call, couldn't interfere with her plan.The screen was lit, buzzing violently against the lea
