Alpha Kael's POVThe bloodstained letter remained in my hand, its edges stained crimson from the unfortunate messenger who had nearly been beaten to death simply to deliver Amarok's words.My commander stepped closer."My Alpha...""He wants us afraid" I muttered. The commander nodded."What are your orders?" He asked.Before I could answer, a piercing scream shattered the silence and my entire body reacted before my mind did.The scream belonged to Liora.My head snapped towards the courtyard as every instinct inside me roared to life.The thought of Amarok hit me with frightening speed.Had he actually come? Had his message merely been a distraction while he slipped inside my estate?Without thinking, I dropped the paper into one of my commander's hands."Protect the gates!"I was already moving. My boots struck the stone courtyard with rapid, thunderous steps and guards hurried after me."Liora!"The name left my mouth before I even realised I had spoken it then my pulse hammered

Amarok's POVThere were only two kinds of people who walked into the Black Fang Tavern.The desperate and the dangerous. Tonight, I belonged to the second category.The tavern smelled of stale ale, burnt wood and old blood. Laughter echoed from drunken patrons while serving girls weaved effortlessly between tables carrying overflowing mugs. A musician lazily plucked at an old lute in the corner, but the melody did little to drown out the endless chatter.It was noisy and chaotic. The perfect place for secrets to hide.Cassian walked beside me, his injured arm secured beneath a leather brace. Although the wound had begun to heal, every now and then I noticed the slight twitch on his face whenever he moved too quickly."You should still be resting," I said without looking at him.He scoffed."And let you do all the fun work?"I smirked."I wasn't aware threatening strangers was considered fun" I said."It depends on the stranger" he replied. I chuckled. Despite his injury, Cassian hadn

Rio's POVThe walls were beginning to feel smaller. I had paced the length of my room so many times that I could probably walk it blindfolded.I growled under my breath and slammed my fist against the stone wall."Damn it!"The sharp sting that shot through my knuckles did little to ease the fire burning inside me.I was sick of this.Years ago, I had dreamed of power, respect, authority, but now I couldn't even leave my room without someone else's permission.I dropped onto the edge of the bed, dragging both hands down my face."This wasn't how it was supposed to go" I muttered and silence answered me.For the first time in what felt like forever, I allowed myself to think about the past, about where everything had gone wrong."Amarok."Just saying his name made my jaw tighten then I leaned back against the wall and closed my eyes."I should never have gotten involved with you" I said.The words tasted bitter but they were true. Back then, I hadn't seen another option. Kael had strip

Elena's POV The marble corridors of the estate echoed with the soft rhythm of our footsteps. The afternoon sun spilled through the towering windows, casting long strips of golden light across the polished floor. Servants immediately lowered their heads as we passed, stepping out of our way without needing to be told. As they should. Behind me, my four personal maids followed in perfect silence, their hands neatly folded in front of them. To my right walked Ruby, elegant as always, her crimson gown flowing behind her. To my left was Vesha, quieter than usual, her pale lavender dress brushing against the floor with every hesitant step she took. Their own maids trailed a respectful distance behind us and no one dared interrupt us. Ruby glanced around before lowering her voice. She smiled ever so slightly. "So, were you serious when you said those words in the courtyard?" She asked. I didn't bother looking at her. "When you said you wanted Liora out of this estate" she

Alpha Kael's POVI stood before the tall windows of my study, my hands clasped behind my back as I watched the courtyard below.Everything looked exactly as it should but I wondered what had caused that noise earlier. A knock sounded once before the study door opened then Logan entered."You sent for me?"I didn't turn around immediately. Instead, I continued watching the courtyard."What happened down there?" I asked."It seems one of the cars had an electrical issue and it caused a small fire but it was quickly taken care of" he explained. I nodded but I was wasn't quite sure why I had this eerie feeling. Finally, I turned to face him."I've survived this long because I've learned to trust my instincts."His relaxed posture immediately disappeared."What are they telling you?""That we're missing something" I replied. Logan folded his muscular arms across his chest."We searched every section of the estate twice after the messenger incident, we doubled the guards, the walls are
