The same chair where she had first sat across from Damien and signed the contract that changed everything.A woman in a charcoal suit waited at the head of the table. Silver hair cut sharp.

The same chair where she had first sat across from Damien and signed the contract that changed everything.A man in a dark suit waited at the head of the table. He was in his early sixties, silver at the temples, with calm eyes that had never known fear. He did not stand.“Zara Mensah,” he said. “The human who walked into a room full of wolves and decided she belonged. I have been watching since the day you signed that first contract.

Derek held the syringe near Elias’s arm and smiled at the camera.“Three minutes, Zara. Renounce the alpha on the live feed I am about to start or the serum goes in. Then the second child.
