Bella’s POV"Simply wasn't there anymore" isn't a real explanation, and I said so before I could stop myself."I know how it sounds." Thor braced a hand against the doorframe still catching his breath, sweat and dirt streaked across his jaw from the shift and the run. "I am telling you what I found. A clean trail, twenty feet and then nothing. No scent break. No struggle. It is like she stepped off the edge of the world.""Or something erased the trail behind her " my aunt said. "There are ways to mask a scent, methods the kind operatives were trained in before most packs stopped bothering with that kind of subtlety. If someone wants to make a trail disappear cleanly they would know how.""Then that someone has training." Draven had eased Frey into the chair by then. He straightened to look at my aunt directly something hard settling into his expression. "Training that specific does not belong to opportunists.

Bella’s POV"Give me the phone," I said, before my aunt had even fully lowered it from her ear."Bella." Draven's hand closed over my wrist, not stopping me, just steadying me. "Whatever she wants, this is her game. Remember that going in.""I know exactly whose game this is." I took the phone anyway, pressed it to my ear, forced my voice into something calmer than I felt. "This is Bella.""There she is." The voice came through pleasant, unhurried, exactly as I remembered it from the darkened facility corridor. "I confess, I wasn't certain you'd take the call.

A pause, and I could almost hear her considering her next words with the same careful precision she brought to everything else. "I want you to understand the shape of tonight before you commit to it. You're planning to come for your two guests. I know this because I know you
