Have you totally lost it?!

ALEXANDER'S POV I walked into the hospital, sleep deprived and high on adrenaline. I made my way to the receptionist, slightly breathless. “Where is she?” I breathed.The nurse behind the desk looked up from her computer, her eyes going over me. And then a wave of recognition flashed across her eyes. “You must be Alexander.” She said, a small smile on her face. They faded as I frowned harder. “Zara.” I mumbled, eyes hard and trained on her.She swallowed, bending with a nod. I glanced around impatiently, noticing the three people on the metal chairs in the waiting room. One of which was already unconscious, with another bleeding from his leg. “There it is.” She said, straightening up. I swiveled my head to face her, an eyebrow arched. “Come with me.”She walked out from behind the chair, waving me over. I followed her quietly, cursing beneath my breath as my boot slid over a puddle of crimson. It was a small puddle of blood, creeping for the leg of one of the three on the chairs.

So what happens now?

“This is getting dangerous.” He said with a grunt. “ And who the hell do you think you are to tell me that? A mere butler!” She snapped at him.His lips twitched as he looked at her then he replaced his stale expression with a fawning smile as he moved over to the curtains and pulled them open.The sun gleamed into the room as Selene just yawned lazily and said, “ Wonderful day, isn't it?”The butler’s forehead creased with unease as he said. “ This..” He pointed at themselves, he continued, “ It's not working. Your slip up yesterday nearly cost us everything.” He said. His eyes fixed coldly on her. Her expression hardened for a moment, but she quickly looked away. They had been doing this long enough to understand one another without needing to say much. “Is she still being watched?” Selene asked.“Yes. Alexander hasn't stopped questioning her.”A satisfied smile touched Selene's lips. “Good. Let him keep looking in the wrong direction.”“ And if he suspects?” He asked, his finge

A fire attack.

ALEXANDER’S POVThe butler's voice was still in my ear when I lowered the phone. “Alpha, it’s Selene. Something happened. You need to come home.”I looked through the glass at Zara. She was still in the room, surrounded by the guards I had left with her after catching the woman who tried to inject wolfsbane into her. The entire situation had already gone too far, and now Selene was involved.“What happened?” I asked.“I found her in her room. I already called for help.”My jaw tightened. “Is she alive?”“Yes, Alpha.”“Then keep her there. I’m coming.”I ended the call and turned toward the guards outside Zara’s room. “Stay with her. Nobody gets near her without being cleared.”“Yes, Alpha.”Jae immediately looked at me. “You’re leaving?”“I have to.”“She’s still here.”“I know.”“You just caught someone trying to kill her, and now you’re walking away?”I gave him a cold look. “I’m not walking away from her. I’m handling another emergency.”Jae stepped closer. “And that emergency is S

Take them to the interrogation room

ALEXANDERThe moment I pulled Zara into my arms, the heat from the room became almost unbearable.Smoke had already spread across the ceiling, thick enough to blur the lights above us. Zara coughed against my chest, her body weak in my hold, and I tightened my grip before carrying her toward the doorway. The fire was spreading quickly, crawling up the curtains and licking at anything it could reach.“Move!” I shouted.One of the guards appeared through the smoke and rushed toward me. I handed Zara to him, then grabbed the nearest fire extinguisher and turned toward the flames.“Get her out of here. Now.”The guard didn't argue. He carried Zara into the corridor while another guard followed him, clearing the way through the growing chaos.I sprayed the extinguisher toward the nearest flames, but it barely made a difference. The fire was already too large.“Alpha!”I turned and saw the medical staff gathering around Zara.She was still coughing, her eyes barely open as they tried to get

Why is Selene here?

ALEXANDERWhen I returned to the treatment wing, Jae was standing outside Zara’s room with his arms crossed. His eyes immediately went to me.“Why is Selene in there with her?”I looked through the glass panel. Zara was still unconscious, an oxygen mask covering her face, while Selene lay on the other bed. Both are cold. Both are stable. Neither waking up.“After the fire, most of the private rooms in the secure wing were evacuated. There was only one secure room available under the lockdown.”Jae’s expression hardened. “You could have found another one.”“I couldn’t.”He stared at me for a moment before looking through the glass again.“This is Zara we’re talking about. You know what Selene has been doing.”“I know.”“And you're still comfortable leaving them in the same room?”“No.”His brows pulled together.“I said I had no choice.”Jae looked like he wanted to argue again, but a security officer approached before he could.“Alpha, the suspect you caught wants to speak with you.”

I'm not trying to control you

ZARAThe first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the ceiling. It took me a few seconds to realize I was lying in a hospital bed. My throat was painfully dry, my body felt heavy, and there was an IV attached to my hand. I stared at it for a moment, trying to remember how I had ended up there, but nothing came. I searched through my memory again, but there was only a blank space where the last few hours should have been.Then I turned my head and saw Selene lying on the other bed.“What is she doing here?”Jae, who had been sitting beside the door, lifted his head. He looked exhausted, like he hadn't slept properly in days. The relief on his face when he realized I was awake disappeared when he followed my gaze toward Selene.“You're awake.”“I can see that. Why is she here?”Jae stood and walked over. “There was a fire in the hospital. They had to evacuate part of the building, and after everything was moved around, this was the only secure room available.”I frowned. “A fire?”

Been through enough for one day!

ZARABy the time Jae pulled out of the hospital parking lot, I had barely said three words. None of them had been necessary.I sat in the passenger seat with my head against the window, watching the city pass by in broken pieces of light. Shops were closing for the night, streetlights stretched across the roads, and the occasional car passed us in the opposite direction. Everything looked normal.I didn't feel normal.My body was still weak from being unconscious for so long, but that wasn't what was bothering me. My mind kept going back to the hospital room, to Selene leaning against Alexander like she belonged there, to the way he had tried to stop me from leaving as though he still had some right to decide what happened to me. I folded my arms and looked away from the road.Jae glanced at me. “You're thinking too loudly.”I didn't look at him. “I'm not saying anything.”“Exactly.”That earned him a brief look.He grinned. “See? I know you.”“Unfortunately.”“After everything you've

you're still awake?

ZARA“Jae told me what happened.”I stopped just inside the dining room.Dad was sitting at the table waiting for me, his sleeves rolled up and his reading glasses resting low on his nose. There were several covered dishes spread across the table, and judging by the smell filling the room, he'd been waiting for me for a while.I looked toward the clock.It was later than I expected.“You're still awake?”Dad removed his glasses and folded them carefully. “I was waiting for you.”“You didn't have to.”“I know.”He stood and pulled out the chair beside him. “Come and sit down before you start arguing with me.”I smiled despite myself and sat.Dad immediately lifted one of the covers, revealing the food underneath.I stared at it.“You made all this?”“I did.”“For me?”“No, for the entire neighborhood. Of course for you.”I laughed softly.Everything on the table was something I liked. He'd even made the particular dish I always asked for when I was having a bad day, the one he'd someho

Wiped?

ZARAI took my bag upstairs and dropped it on the bed.I had already decided I wasn't going to school.The argument with Jae had made me realize that going back to my normal routine wasn't as simple as I wanted it to be. If there was even a chance that the accident hadn't been random, I wanted answers before I started worrying about anything else.I changed out of my school clothes, pulled on a pair of jeans and a loose shirt, then tied my hair back before heading downstairs again.Jae was still there.He looked up when I entered the kitchen and immediately noticed the change in my clothes.“So you're not going?”“No.”He nodded, but there was no smugness in his expression this time. He looked more relieved than anything.I sat down across from him. “You said something about the accident.”“I did.”“What exactly are you trying to find out?”Jae put his phone on the table. “Everything.”“That sounds vague.”“Because I don't know what we're looking for yet.”I watched him for a moment b

She knew my name

ZARAFor several minutes, neither Jae nor I said anything. I kept staring at the blank section of the CCTV footage, waiting for something to change even though I knew it wouldn't. The recordings before the accident were there, and the ones after it were there too. Only the part we actually needed was missing.“So that's it?” I finally asked.Jae glanced at me. “Not necessarily. We still have the paperwork.”“And what exactly are we supposed to do with that?”“Find the officer who authorized the transfer.”I looked at him, folding my arms across my chest. “We don't even know if she's involved.”“I know. I'm not saying she is. I'm saying she's one of the few people connected to the accident whose name we actually have.”“And the man who handled the cameras is dead.”“I know that too.”I looked back at the screen, feeling the pressure building in my chest again. We had found enough things to make the accident look suspicious, but not enough to actually explain what had happened. A person
