Vivienne POV"You're safe," I said, crossing the room to embrace Priya before either of us could say anything else. "You kept your promise. You came back.""I told you I would."She returned the embrace briefly, fiercely, before pulling back. The tiredness in her eyes suggested she'd slept no better than I had. Her expression was more serious than I'd seen from her since the night of the poisoning."I need to talk to you. About the locket. I should have told you everything the first time you showed it to me, but I let fear keep me quiet instead."I gestured toward the small seating area by the window. My pulse quickened at the thought of finally getting an answer to the questions I'd been circling for weeks."I'm listening."She sat, twisting her hands together in her lap. After a moment, she took a breath and finally spoke."My mother sent you that locket," she said. "Before she died. She'd been planning to send it for years, waiting for the right moment, though I don't think even she

KillianI sat alone in my study long after Vivienne had gone to rest. The fire had burned down to embers, and the reports Owen had left for me hours ago were still untouched on the desk.I kept thinking about the one thought I had not said aloud to Vivienne. It had come to me the moment she finished telling me the truth, and I had pushed it away because I was ashamed of how quickly it had appeared.Her claim could stand above every Alpha's authority.

I could have used her exactly as she had feared I might when she finally told me the truth.I let myself think through that path instead of pushing it away. It would solve almost every threat around us. Voss's ambitions could collapse und

Killian POV“One of our informants inside Voss territory confirmed something this morning.”Owen placed a single folded page on my desk and closed my study door carefully. He had delivered the report himself instead of sending it through the usual channels, which told me before he said anything else that whatever he carried was not meant for anyone else’s eyes.“Draven’s been seen repeatedly over the last several days, meeting privately with senior Voss representatives. These aren’t casual encounters. They’re scheduled meetings, held in places chosen for privacy.”I opened the report and read it slowly. The dates were spread across several days, and each meeting had taken place in a different location. The physical description matched Draven, and the pattern was too deliberate to dismiss. He wasn’t meeting them by chance. He was making sure he was seen by the right people while keeping the meetings away from anyone who might question them.I read the report a second time, paying clos
