Damian’s POVI returned to the party after changing, looking for Amelia right away. The hall was filled with music and laughter, and the crowd grew louder as the night continued. I glanced at faces as I entered, thinking about how I would bring her back to my side for the rest of the celebration.I did not see her.I paused at the edge of the dance floor and checked the tables, the dais, and the paths between groups of guests. I noticed Diane’s scent nearby, along with Morgan’s, but not her signature rose scent.Claire approached me with a tense expression. My wolf bristled and said, 'Something is wrong. I can’t feel our mate here.'“Claire,” I said. “Where is Luna Amelia?”“Alpha Damian, I’ve been looking for you. Luna Amelia wanted me to inform you that she left to meet the rest pack members,” Claire explained.I frowned and said, “What do you mean?”“Kathy said some members from the border district arrived and wanted to pay their respects. Luna Amelia agreed to go meet them,” Clair

Kathy’s POVTwo days.Amelia had been gone for two full days, and every hour she stayed missing it felt like life was returning to normal.I had not contacted Sarah for updates. Well, first, because Sarah told me not to and second, I know Sarah would not let Amelia go. Sarah deserved her revenge.However, there was a small part of me wishing that Amelia would hurry up and die.If Amelia were dead, I would not have to keep looking behind my shoulder. I’d have no fear of her returning and ruining everything again.‘That is your conscience nagging at you because you know this is wrong,’ my wolf growled.‘No, this was the right decision. Look at what she’s doing to Damian,’ I snapped.Damian barely ate or slept. He was obsessed with her. Damian moved through the halls a shell of himself. ‘He is concerned about his mate,’ my wolf argued. ‘There would be something wrong with him if he didn’t respond.’Yes, there was something wrong with him. He was still ignoring me. I was right here and

Amelia’s POVI woke up with a splitting headache. I bit my lip to keep from groaning aloud in pain.My vision swam as I forced my eyes open. The ceiling above me was low and rough, streaked with moisture that caught the dim light. The air smelled of damp stone and old rot. I will never forget that smell.I still sometimes had vivid nightmares of when I had been kidnapped and tortured by the rogues. The memory woke me up fully. When I tried to move, it felt like the hardest thing to do.What is wrong with me?I flexed against the rope, but the rope did not give. The rope wasn’t soaked in silver, so why wasn’t I able to break free?‘Sedatives,’ my wolf said. Her voice was sluggish and dull. ‘A heavy dose. This is why we cannot break free.’I could feel the panic building in me, but I took a few calming breaths. Panic would not help me. I tested the ropes again. My ankles were bound to the chair legs. My arms were secured behind my back. The chair itself was bolted to the stone floor.‘H

Amelia’s POVI panted hard as I stared at the three bodies on the basement floor.Blood slicked the cracked concrete beneath them. The ropes that had been around my wrists lay in frayed coils near my feet. My arms were trembling so badly that I had to press my palms against my thighs to steady them.I had killed them.For a moment, my mind kept trying to push the truth away, as if I could deny it by refusing to look directly at what I had done. The sedative still dulled my senses, but the adrenaline pumping through my veins had cleared the haze.‘You are not a murderer,’ my wolf reassured me. ‘They attacked you. You defended yourself.’My throat tightened. I swallowed, then swallowed again, because my mouth had gone dry.“I can still feel it,” I whispered. My voice sounded small in the basement. “Their hands. Their breath. I can still feel them.”‘They are dead,’ my wolf replied. ‘You did what you had to do, and you lived. No one will fault you for it.’I looked down at my hands cover

Kathy’s POVAfter leaving Damian’s office, I walked around aimlessly. My mind raced with questions. That letter had to have come from Sarah, but how did she get it into the folder. Why did she need to meet Damian? It’s not the plan. I needed to ask her.‘No. You don’t need to ask her anything. You need to tell Damian the truth,’ my wolf said.‘He will kill us if I do that. I just need to ask Sarah what’s going on,’ I responded.‘During the day? You will get caught. Wait until night,’ my wolf suggested.‘I can’t wait that long. I have to make sure she’s not trying to hurt Damian,’ I argued.I left the pack house through the side door near the service entrance. I then used a secret path to get the vacant cabins. It took me a lot longer to get there, but no one would see me.When I reached Sarah’s cabin, I knocked once and the door opened immediately.“What is wrong with you?” Sarah hissed. “Are you trying to get caught?”Sarah yanked me inside by my wrist so fast that I stumbled over th
