Luna woke up at 4:30 AM. Not because of an alarm, not because of a nightmare but because something felt wrong.Her eyes opened instantly. Years of training had taught her to trust instincts long before trusting evidence.The city outside her penthouse windows was still dark. New York slept beneath a blanket of scattered lights and distant sirens. Everything appeared normal. But her wolf stirred uneasily. Danger.The feeling crawled beneath her skin. Subtle and persistent. Luna sat up slowly. Listening, but nothing. No footsteps, no unusual sounds, and no movement.Yet the sensation remained. Her gaze drifted toward the digital clock. 4:31 AM. She reached for her phone. Three unread messages. One from Jenna, one from HexaTech Security, and one from Alexander.The message from Alexander simply read: Call me when you wake up. No explanation and no context. That alone was enough to make her uneasy.Alexander never wasted words. She opened Jenna’s message first. The text was brief.Marcus
