Serena’s POVI could feel it, two pair of hands on me, trying to shake me out of this horrible nightmare, but for some reason, it seemed to drag me below even more. Very intensely, I could feel something in the darkness, beckoning at me, trying to pull me into the depth, but I was also struggling. “Wake up, Serena.” I told myself, effective from the years of therapy I and my twin had taken about this, none of which had really worked anyway. The pull tightened like invisible fingers curling around my ankles, dragging me deeper into the dark the more I tried to surface. I fought harder, my breath coming out in short, panicked bursts. “Wake up, Serena,” I said again, louder this time, forcing the words through clenched teeth like they were the only rope I had left to hold onto.The hands on me shook harder.“Serena!” That voice was closer and clearer now. The darkness suddenly flickered, and for a split second, I felt it loosen its grip on me, like it was slipping… like I was

Galatia’s POVThe realization didn’t just settle over me like I was drenched in cold water, it struck me hard. My spine went rigid as the thought settled into place in my head, every instinct I had sharpening all at once. “If that’s true…” I trailed off, dragging a hand down my face as my mind raced ahead, connecting pieces I hadn’t even realized were scattered.I could feel Grey passing within, also wondering, asking questions. Audrey watched me carefully. “Then it simply means they're trying to hide them.”Silence settled around the two of us, and I gritted my teeth. This was a really big and dangerous deal, but I wasn't sure what approach it needed. Concealment of any kind wasn’t something just anyone could do. And to this extent, one where they were able to fool an Alpha, it sure required power, precision and a lot of it.Which meant this wasn’t something whoever had done it did recently. It was something they had done when Serena, and Sidney… if she was really truthful abo

Serena’s POVI couldn’t ask Audrey for her phone yet because she was still on that call. I had gone to Galatia’s office after leaving his room, but as soon as I got to the door, I could hear Audrey’s voice, muffled through the door, telling someone to breath in and out, before telling her what setback they think they were having. She was obviously attending to one of her clients. So I had walked back to the kitchen, and Dahlia had asked if she could serve my breakfast. Now, I was seated here with a book in hand, just minutes after I was done eating. “Ms. Harp, would you like some tea? Or maybe a platter of fruit?” Dahlia’s voice asked and I looked up. She was now standing by the sink with a knife in hand. I smiled, shook my head. “It's fine, Dahlia.”“What about freshly squeezed juice?” she asked. Before I could answer, Audrey walked into the kitchen and I sighed. Well, saved by Audrey, because Dahlia was ready to feed me to stupor if that was possible. “Hey, Audrey.” I gre

Serena’s POVThere was nothing to describe how glad I felt right now, but only because I was real focused on talking to Sidney without her suspecting anything strange. “So tell me, how’s the vacationing going?” Sidney asked. I swallowed hard, putting up a smile on my face even though it didn’t reach my eyes. But, I knew it would have an impact on my voice. I cleared my throat. “Huh, it’s been really good.” I glanced at Galatia who was watching me. I wasn’t sure what was going through his head, but I knew he was trying to make sure I didn’t say something about my situation. I forced myself to look away from him, like his stare didn’t have me on edge.“Yeah,” I added quickly, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. “It’s been… quiet. Different from what I’m used to.”I imagined Sidney tilted her head slightly. “Different how?” she asked. I hesitated for just a second, then smiled again. “Less… freedom to move around,” I said lightly, hoping it sounded like a joke.From the

Serena’s POV These two were moving mad, they were being batshit right now, really, because I still wasn’t clear about what was going on. Or maybe I did, I just didn’t want to believe it. There was no way this was the Ronnie guy, the one that Sidney was dating. Wait… he said something about getting married. Was this an attempt to keep Sidney from knowing or finding out? By sending his cousin to intercept? That didn’t make sense one bit though. Because even though I shared Sidney’s face, I was sure Sidney had mentioned him cancelling their vacation because he wasn’t going to be around. So how could she call him to tell him she was coming anyway? “You both better tell me what the hell is going on before I start screaming.” I said, looking from Galatia to the man I realized was Ronnie. Galatia pushed up to his feet and walked to where I was standing, and or some reason, his imposing structure didn’t even scare me. “Calm down, Serena.” He said and Ronnie gave him a surprised lo
