Author's povMeanwhile, at the Locke mansion, the grand ballroom buzzed with Colorado Springs' elite.Half the old money families in Colorado Springs had shown up, along with tech entrepreneurs, socialites, and even a few celebrities who served merely as glittering accessories to the truly powerful.Getting an invite from the Lockes was a symbol of status, proof that your family remained relevant and influential.Families on the decline had long been struck from the guest list, not even allowed to drop by with gifts on holidays, let alone attend such a prestigious celebration.But something was off. The gala had been underway for half an hour and all guests had arrived, but the evening's guest of honor, Martha, still hadn't shown up.Zane, the head of the Locke family, kept greeting the guests with the rest of the family.Maggie acted like the perfect hostess and took charge of the guest list. She invited her own family, the Shadow Pack, and even the Blood Moon Pack, who had never been

Author's povAlpha Sebastian was furious, his voice tight with barely contained anger. "Where exactly are you walking right now ? "He asked again, each word clipped and sharp. "The hotel garden, maybe ? "Tang froze, his face twisting in panic. His fingers tightened around the steering wheel, knuckles white, as if gripping it could somehow keep him safe.He turned to Cecilia, eyes wide and pleading for rescue.Her stomach dropped. A cold wave of dread spread through her chest.She'd deliberately kept her family's trip to Colorado Springs a secret from Alpha Sebastian, but now her careful plan was unraveling right in front of her.She could almost feel his anger humming through the phone—a low, electric threat just waiting to explode.Cecilia rubbed her forehead, trying to steady her breathing as a sharp dizziness crept in.[ This can't be happening, ] she thought. [ I turned off location sharing last time. Did he switch it back on without telling me ? ]"Answer me. "Alpha Sebastian's

Author's povZaria nudged Luna Regina with her elbow, drawing her attention toward Luna Dora approaching them.Both women tensed visibly, the awkwardness hanging thick in the air between them.Since Luna Dora had initiated this encounter, she broke the silence first, her voice carefully controlled."We at Blood Moon Pack did wrong by Cecilia,"she admitted, swirling the wine in her glass. "That's all in the past now. It's... good that Luna Regina doesn't hold her human background against her and has accepted her into Silver Peak."Luna Regina's smile didn't quite reach her eyes."She helped me when she didn't have to. We didn't even know each other. If I still judged her after that, I'd be a terrible person. ""I admit I valued pack lineage,"Luna Regina continued, her cheeks flushing slightly. "But upon reflection, she excels in every other way. She more than compensates for what she lacks in bloodline. Besides, none of that was ever her fault.""Now that I've accepted her,"Luna Regina

Cecilia's povI froze for a second.Cassian was supposed to be at the gala.Then I realized they had Grandma and Martha.Maybe Cassian got one of those messages as well.If that was true… wouldn't Sebastian already know ?While those thoughts spun in my head, Tang had already texted back : [ What the hell is going on over there ? ]A few seconds later, a video came through.The video was blurry and dark. It showed four or five people walking up a sloped path. The camera was shaking a little, like someone had filmed it while running.Cassian stood out in his dark suit, and next to him was a woman in a red dress. It was Poppy.Tang squinted. "This woman looks familiar. ""That's Poppy, Zane's sister, "I said right away."They don't look like hostages, "I said, my voice dropping as I studied the clip again. "I think they're using Martha to control them. "Tang frowned, replaying the footage. "But why send you to the sanatorium rooftop while Cassian heads for the restaurant ? If they wante

Cecilia's povStaring out the bus window, my stomach dropped.The mansion that came into view looked like something straight out of a movie. It was huge, spotless, and intimidating.Tang followed my gaze, his brows knitting. "Wait… where are we ? "Cassian just smiled, calm as ever, his tone almost teasing. "My Home, of course. "Tang's voice shot up an octave. "What ? ! "I could practically see him doing the math in his head, figuring out how many ways Sebastian was going to kill him for this.Cassian clapped him on the shoulder, completely unfazed. "Relax. Sebastian doesn't actually eat people. I'll just say I was passing the Lawson estate and decided to bring you all along. "I groaned, burying my face in my hands. "We're dead. We're so dead. "The bus rolled to a stop in the circular driveway of what could only be described as a modernday castle.Through the tall windows, I caught the glow of chandeliers and the blur of people in evening gowns.Valets hurried toward us but froze
