NORMAN’S POV Damon hadn’t returned to his house later last night like I had expected him to. The hours dragged on into morning, and the mansion grew too quiet without his presence. A faint unease prickled at the back of my mind. Where the hell had he gone?I tried convincing myself it was nothing. Damon was unpredictable, he often vanished when he wanted space. But even when he disappeared, he left threads for me to pull, places I could check. So, I did.The first stop was the Cross Estate. If anywhere, he might have been there, maybe caught up with his old father or wallowing in his own restless thoughts. But the moment I called in, I got my answer: Damon hadn’t shown up there either.That left me with one option, a place I had stupidly skipped over before – the house. The one he sometimes retreated to when he didn’t want anyone around, the place with too many memories tied to it.I rode my motorcycle through winding roads until the structure appeared, nestled against the edge of t

Lana’s POV His gaze lingered on me, hesitant, the kind of look that made my stomach twist with dread. I burned to know his answer, but the longer he delayed, the heavier my chest grew.Finally, he cleared his throat and said, almost carefully, “Precautions?”My eyes narrowed at once. “Don’t play dumb with me, Damon. We had sex. You know exactly what I’m talking about.”For a second, he didn’t blink. His storm-gray eyes were steady, yet unreadable. Then he dropped the blow casually, like he wasn’t detonating a grenade in my chest. “I didn’t.”The world spun. My lips parted, then trembled. “You… you didn’t?” My voice shot higher, almost shrill. “Damon, are you insane? What were you thinking?!”He raised a hand, his tone even. “Lana, calm down, I—”“No! Don’t you dare tell me to calm down!” I cut him off, words tumbling out fast, breathless. “Do you even realize what this means? Do you realize what you’ve just done?!”I tried to step back, but his fingers brushed my wrist. I flinched an

Lana’s POV The following day, I walked into the company with my bag slung over my shoulder, bracing for the usual storm. Strangely enough, no thunder came. Mr. Gerald, who always patrolled the foyer like a hawk, spotted me the second I stepped through the glass doors. Instead of barking his trademark reprimand, his lips pressed into a thin line, and he looked away.My steps faltered. That’s odd.If I had been just five minutes late, he would have been mounted at the entrance, arms crossed, ready to scold me until my ears burned. Yesterday, I hadn’t even shown up. Yet here I was, gliding through untouched. The realization clicked – Damon. Since he has called the office, he must have given some ironclad reason that even Gerald couldn’t argue with. The thought both warmed me and made me nervous. Damon’s influence still reached everywhere.I sighed, trying to steady myself as I approached the reception desk to sign in. Pen in hand, I scribbled down my details just as Bella’s familiar sce

Damon’s POV The last couple of days had slipped past in a blur of numbers, calls, and endless frustration. I sat in the living room of my villa, the floor-to-ceiling windows pouring late-afternoon light across the mahogany table. My laptop glowed, stacked beside several hard files, the recent transaction records of Obsidian Group.I flipped another page, my jaw tightening. Those fucking morons. Employees, managers, executives, all of them earning fat paychecks while producing half the work I expect. Do I feed parasites or run an empire? My pen scratched across a note in the margin before I shoved the file aside.That was when my sharp hearing caught it: the distant rumble of a car engine approaching. I stilled, ears honing on the sound as it drew closer, then stopped at my driveway.Company.The car door slammed. Footsteps, casual but far too familiar. Even without seeing, I knew who it was. Dave. And in true Dave fashion, the idiot thought he could sneak up on me.A rush of movement

Lana’s POV The next morning the entire company buzzed like a disturbed beehive. I hadn’t even made it to my desk before snippets of whispers floated toward me. The news had already spread like wildfire: Adelle had been fired.At first, I thought it was another rumor born out of yesterday’s drama, but when I caught a glimpse of her desk being cleared out by an intern under HR’s watchful eyes, reality hit. Her glossy magazines, lipsticks, and a pair of extra heels were shoved into a box. Just like that, she was gone.The reason came fast enough. Apparently, she had bungled a client contract, missed a crucial clause, costing the company a hefty sum. Under normal circumstances, that mistake alone would have warranted disciplinary action, but not outright dismissal, especially since her father was an Alpha. Yet Damon had made a move with finality, as if he had been waiting for the chance.Later, in the restroom, I found myself washing my hands when two female coworkers entered. Their voic
