CHRISTINE POVFor the first time in what felt like forever, I woke up without dread sitting on my chest.The realization was so strange that I remained lying in bed for several seconds, staring at the ceiling while morning sunlight filtered through the curtains.There was no panic, anxiety or overwhelming urge to check my phone for another disaster waiting for me except for peaceful silence.These days have been so peaceful and I've felt more relaxed than ever. I couldn't even remember the last time that happened.The past few weeks had been one nightmare after another—rumors, humiliation, attacks, fear and endless investigations.Every day had felt like waking up inside a storm but now, things were different. A slow breath escaped me, maybe it was really over, maybe the Moon Goddess had finally decided I had suffered enough.The thought almost made me laugh.I dragged myself out of bed and got ready for work, expecting another normal day at the office.Instead, Nathan took one look

STEPHANIE The first sign that something was wrong arrived before noon.I was seated at the head of a conference table inside Valecroft Holdings, reviewing quarterly projections while department heads presented reports one after another.Everything looked and sounded normal and yet, something felt off."...the compliance division received an audit request this morning."My attention lifted immediately and the senior manager cleared his throat."It appears routine."I almost laughed, nothing felt routine anymore."What kind of audit?" I asked."Financial verification."I stared at him. "From whom?"He named the department, it was not unusual or alarming but just enough to justify concern.Yet, an unpleasant feeling settled in my stomach anyway.The meeting continued and another manager spoke."There have also been increased security reviews throughout the Upper District."My fingers tightened around my pen."Reviews?""Business security evaluations."One of my assistants shifted nervou

KAELThe security report sitting on my desk contained absolutely nothing that required my personal attention.There were no threats, suspicious activity,breaches or any emergencies.It was just a routine update confirming that Christine's office remained secure and that additional checkpoints around her building had reported nothing unusual.Darius could have reviewed it and half the security department could have reviewed it.Yet, ten minutes later I found myself leaving headquarters driving down to Christine's office. Naturally, I blamed the bracelet found in the package Christine found and the possibility of Harlan returning soon and the fact that somebody had managed to slip something personal through security without leaving a trace.That was the reason, it had to be.Unfortunately, my wolf wasn't buying it and neither was I.The drive across the city felt shorter than usual and by the time I arrived at Christine's office building, I was already irritated with myself.The irrita

CHRISTINE I woke up exhausted, it was not normal exhaustion or the kind that disappeared after coffee or a shower.It was that kind of exhaustion that settled deep inside my bones and refused to leave.For several seconds, I remained staring at the ceiling while fragments of the dream lingered stubbornly in my mind.Harlan, his voice, his hand in mine, the feeling of safety, the feeling of belonging and a version of him that had never truly existed outside my own hopes.I groaned and dragged a pillow over my face."It was a dream."The words sounded ridiculous even to me.If it was just a dream, why did it still feel so real?Feeling annoyed, I sat up and immediately regretted it when a dull headache pulsed behind my eyes.Is this how I wanted to start my morning? My goodness! My gaze drifted toward the dresser, the drawer and the bracelet laying inside it. I stared at it for several seconds and then stood.I walked over, opened the drawer and picked it up.The silver glinted softl

 CHRISTINE POV   I woke up feeling so tired.   It was not the kind of tiredness that disappeared after coffee or the kind that came from working too late, this one felt deeper like something had spent the entire night draining me while I slept.   For several seconds, I remained staring at the ceiling, trying to gather enough energy to sit up and the effort alone annoyed me.   I hated feeling weak or fragile and most o
