Aria's POV"Skip ahead." I instructed Elaine. My voice came out low, almost a growl. Elaine hesitated, clearly confused, but still dragged the progress bar forward.The moment Tyler's figure appeared on the screen, Amelia lifted her hand. "Stop."Both of us leaned closer without realizing it, our breaths held, eyes locked onto the flickering image. My wolf stirred, my senses sharpening as if the past itself were prey we were cornering.Tyler rushed into the frame, sweat dampening his collar. Even through grainy footage, I could see panic barely contained beneath his forced composure."Honey, I'll go pay the fees right now!" he said, patting his pocket as if reassuring himself more than Talia, before hurrying toward the payment area.Something felt wrong."Pause," I said sharply. "For this same time period, pull up the surveillance from the billing window."Elaine obeyed.Tyler appeared again, but this time he didn't go straight to the counter. Instead, he stopped in a secluded corner

Nathan's POVAs soon as I heard Aria's door click shut, I opened mine. It was adjacent from hers.The sharp scent of the man from yesterday, cut through the air. My scent was however masked. I didn't want Aria sniffing me in the air.For a split second, I caught the flash of joy in his eyes when thought it was Aria's door that opened. Then his expression shifted the moment his gaze landed on me. The warmth drained away, replaced by an aloof, untouchable mask.My claws itched beneath my skin."Why are you pestering her?" I demanded, my voice low, edged with a growl I barely managed to suppress. "What exactly are you after?"I didn't bother hiding the cold in my eyes. I wanted him to recognize the Alpha's warning in them.The man chuckled softly. The sound was like water over stones, deceptively clear nad deceptively calm. His blue eyes shimmered as they met mine."Pestering?" he echoed lightly. "You are the one doing that, not me. From my research, you are a piece of secondhand goods s

Aria's POVAmelia and I were still bent over the table, slowly turning the memories trapped beneath the glass. When Logan voiced his request, we both paused.The urn was simple and uneven. Almost clumsy, like something made by hand rather than crafted for display.But the way Logan held it, in a careful, nad reverent manner, made my wolf lower her head in respect."Go ahead," Amelia said, waving him off. "We'll wait here."I nodded as well.Logan dipped his head in thanks, but before stepping out, his gaze lingered on the photographs as though they would disappear if he left. He eventually stepped outside.Soon I went outside and watched him from a distance.Stroke by stroke, he dug into the soil. The earth here wasn't too wet, nor too dry, it was good soil.He tested the urn against the hole, careful, precise, making sure it would fit just right. He deliberately chose a spot far from the remaining flowers, as if afraid even ashes might disturb their fragile lives.As he began coverin

Nathan's POVThe sky answered me. Thunder cracked violently overhead.I looked up just in time to see lightning tear across the clouds. The sky that had been merely overcast moments ago darkened completely, thick clouds swallowing what little light remained.Rain was coming.My wolf growled within me, uneasy.I turned abruptly and headed back to the car.I got in, slamming the door and pressing the accelerator harder than necessary.By the time I reached the hotel, I spotted them…Aria, Amelia, and Logan, already heading upstairs.Relief loosened the tight coil in my chest. She was safe. But the moment I stepped out of the car, the rain came down in sheets.It was heavy and violent. The drops struck the ground like nails, relentless and loud.I barely made it inside before the storm became even worse. I reached my floor and suddenly, Aria was there. She was supposed to already be inside her room.She looked panicked, her breath uneven, her eyes wide as she rushed around the corner and

Aria's POVThe night pressed down heavily as we finally crossed into Asterfell, city lights bleeding into the darkness like scattered embers. My wolf had been restless the entire drive, pacing beneath my skin, feeling very uneasy.Amelia frowned at the GPS in her hand."Looks like they've stopped."She lifted her phone, the glowing screen reflecting in my eyes. The pulsing dot had gone still.Logan scratched his head. "You don't think they realized we were tracking them, do you?"My expression cooled instantly. My wolf's ears flattened. "They shouldn't have. If we got the location this fast, it's almost certainly his personal car. Which means…" I pinched the screen and zoomed in. "He should be somewhere nearby."The dot sat brazenly in the heart of downtown.My brows knit together.How could this person kidnap a child and then linger in the city center?I lifted my head and met Amelia's eyes. We all got out of the car and continued on foot, heading towards the spot on the GPS.A few s
