Julian’s POV: Secrets in Stainless SteelI look at my Beta and scoff, shaking my head. "You can't be serious, Bob.""I am serious, Alpha," he replies, his eyes insistent. "Why all this ridiculous secrecy? The wide-brimmed hats, the thick lace veils, hiding her face like a ghost. Doesn't this whole routine look exactly like what Nicki Barnes pulled? Is the Alpha really not interested in finding out the connection between them? For all we know, pressing her on this could lead us to finding the Ghost Architect.""Bob, the DA let the whole Murphy incident pass on a thread," I say. "He won't let it go if it comes out that I held my ex-wife in New York against her will.""What if it isn't against her will?" Bob counters. "What if you simply asked her to stay?""I did ask her," I growl. "Trinity doesn't want to stay, and I am not going to force her. I can't."Bob’s jaw tightens. He isn't satisfied with my answer. Frustration is coming out of his eyes. I think he's overdoing this. But his my

Trinity’s POV: Between Two FiresCassius’s arms feel impossibly warm around my waist, his broad chest pressed firmly against my back as his whisper lingers in the quiet sanctuary of my kitchen.I'm in love with you, Trinity.I stand there with him, unable to move. This moving on, right. But I'm not in love with him. And my heart is jumping, afraid of what this might lead to. My grip tighten on the coffee mug and I'm shaking. "Alpha Cassius . . ." I whisper. "I mean it, Trinity," he murmurs, his breath brushing the curve of my neck.“I know you do.”I want him to let go. But I also want him to stay. He doesn't press himself against me too hard. He simply holds me on the waist, offering a warmth that I haven't felt in six long years. "I've watched you fight for months. I've watched you rebuild yourself from nothing. And with every passing day, I find myself captivated by you."Slowly, gently, he turns me around to face him. The mug in my hand, I look up into his eyes. They are fille

Trinity’s POV: Masks Off, Shadows BaredTick. Tick. Tick.Cassius stares at my arm, his brow furrowed. "Trinity, what is that? Watches don't tick that loud. Is it broken?""No," I whisper.I patter into the living room where my bag is sitting. I rummage inside and find the small device shaped like a phone. The red AMOLED light is blinking on and off. “What's that?” Cassius asks. “This what set off the watch.” “Set off—I don't get it,” Cassius says, “what do you mean set off? Like a bomb?” I tap the encrypted screen on the device to activate its diagnostic scanner. A brighter red warning symbol immediately flashes on the display. It is accompanied by a frequency wave readout.The device on my screen isn't just detecting a mechanical defect. It has intercepted an active RF signal pulsing from the casing of the gold watch.“Trinity, what is this thing?” Cassius asks. And from his tone, I can tell we won't leave this house if I don't provide answers. "There's a GPS tracker in the

Trinity’s POV: Midnight GoodbyesIt's midnight on earth but New York City never sleeps. It's a little chilly for autumn too. This chill sweeps off the Hudson River, rustling the leaves of the trees lining the promenade.I stand near the wooden railing overlooking the dark, churning water below. I unclamp Lupe's gift, the gold watch, from my wrist. I hold the gleaming piece of metal over the dark abyss."Trinity, don't," Cassius says beside me, stepping beside me. "That timepiece is an irreplaceable historic artifact. We've already disabled the tracker with your jammer. You don't need to destroy it.""It's a chain, as alpha Cassius. A golden chain tied to a past that almost made me a murderer today. I certainly can't keep it for long. It will always remind me of what I almost did today.”I open my fingers. The watch drops through the air, cuts through the darkness before hitting the river with a distant splash. It vanishes into the murky depths below. Somewhere in those depths, it's t

Julian’s POV: A Little Fracture I slam my foot on the gas, the engine roaring through the dark. I tear toward Bob’s house. It isn't far off from anyway, barely a five-minute drive. But at times like this, every second on the road feels like an eternity of burning gasoline. When I yank the steering wheel and screech into his driveway, I notice the front door of the house is open. Good, I won't need to rip Bob's door out of its hinges. I kill the ignition, throw the door open, and march around the car, my eyes blazing at the house. I slow down. Standing on the top step, her hands folded under her perky breasts, dressed as if for a ball, is Vivian."Where is he? Where is Bob?!" "He's not here.” She jumps in front of me. “What did you plan to do, Julian? Fight your own Beta because you're so insecure about your wife?""Get out of my way!" I roar, shouldering past her into the foyer. I blunder deeper into the house, hollering. "Bob! Where the are you? Bob!"Vivian clatters after me o
