Reed Draven stood near the ballroom entrance with the gun still lowered at his side.The change in the room was almost immediate. The guests who had been loudly judging Anabella seconds ago suddenly discovered the value of silence, while Mooncrest security remained tense but noticeably uncertain about whether drawing their weapons would improve the situation or shorten their lives. Some of the younger guests looked confused, whispering among themselves as they tried to figure out who had fired the shot, but the older Alphas, business heads and people with enough influence to know what moved beneath polite society had already recognized him.Some knew Reed personally while others only knew the name attached to Shadowfang but either way, nobody seemed eager to be the first person to demand that he surrender his weapon.The injured man was still clutching his bleeding hand, his face white from pain as blood dripped between his fingers. “You fucking shot me!”Reed glanced at the hand almo

For several seconds after the director finished speaking, nobody said anything.Then the whispers started.They moved through the ballroom so quickly that it was almost impressive. The same people who had been certain Anabella pushed Vivienne barely ten minutes ago were suddenly looking at Vivienne differently. Heads leaned together and eyes moved toward her swollen ankle, then toward the tears still gathered along her lashes. Someone near the back whispered that perhaps the fall had not been an accident after all, while another reminded her companion that Vivienne had been strangely unwilling to let Reed check the cameras.Anabella remained seated, watching the entire room change its mind with almost embarrassing ease. The older Luna who had lectured her about respecting society no longer looked quite so comfortable. She avoided Anabella’s eyes completely, lips pressed together while two women beside her whispered. One of them glanced toward Vivienne before murmuring something about

By the time Mooncrest began clearing the ballroom, the banquet was beyond saving.Nobody called it an evacuation. The organizers were far too polished for that. Guests were simply informed that the remaining program had been postponed and that Mooncrest would contact anyone whose statement was still required. Security quietly blocked the eastern corridors while staff collected names, and the important people who had arrived expecting champagne, charity speeches and useful connections were escorted out carrying enough gossip to keep pack society entertained for weeks.Anabella couldn't care less about any of that.She stood beside the Mooncrest director with the recovered photograph still open on his tablet. “Send it to me.”The director hesitated. “Miss Benjamin...”“Don't start.”His mouth tightened. “The photograph was recovered from evidence connected to an assault inside our building. Our security team has already forwarded everything to the investigators handling the incident. I

The first thing Anabella felt was a mouth, it wasn't rushed or sloppy, it felt warm and certain, dragging across her lower lip like it already knew the shape of her. A tongue followed slowly, tasting the seam of her mouth before she was even fully awake. Her breath caught and heat slid down her throat and settled low in her belly feeling heavy and unwanted.Realizing what was happening, her eyes snapped open and instinct hit first so she threw a punch but a hand caught her wrist in the air firmly like he had expected it. Fingers closed around her pulse, then he pressed her hand back into the pillow and kissed her deeper, swallowing the curse that tried to leave her mouth.“Easy,” he murmured against her lips.Nyx moaned instantly.“Reed.”Anabella’s vision sharpened immediately wondering what was going on... they agreed not to do anything like this but Reed was over her, his dark hair falling forward, eyes already black and his body boxed her in without crushing her, one knee between

“Say it again.”Reed's voice was quiet, which somehow made it worse. His hand was still wrapped around Anabella's throat, not squeezing just holding her there with his thumb resting over the pulse that refused to calm down. She was completely awake now, unfortunately, but the dream hadn't disappeared with sleep. She could still remember far too much of it, and her body was doing an excellent job of reminding her while Reed hovered over her with black eyes and a face that said he'd heard enough to ruin the rest of her night.Anabella swallowed, feeling his thumb move with it. “Get your hand off my throat first.”“No.”Oh yeah.. it's Reed being Reed She wrapped her fingers around his wrist and stared at him. She could force the issue and they both knew it, but before she decided whether throwing him across the room would improve her mood, Nyx whispered excitedly inside her head, “Say Zyran. Please. I want to see what happens.”“I hope you choke.” “I live inside you.”“Then suffer with
