I've been wearing disguises that made me unrecognizable, and I stole jewels from the highest bidders who loved to collect them."

He sat down across from me. “Why didn’t we ever try to make peace with the beasts?” I frowned. “Come, I have something to show you.” He stood up and took my hand, leading me to the back of the library. A shiver ran down my spine because I knew where we were going. Everybody knew that the chamber where the ancient slept was in a locked safe room at the back of the castle library. My father bit into his wrist and a drop of his blood dripped down onto the floor. I heard huge steel bars start to move and realized that it must have been some kind of security measure to protect the ancient. Who would have thought that you needed to drop some blood on the floor to open the chamber! I would have bee

“Can’t we do something about this?” “Actually, it is not as simple as it seems.” Kaelan whispered back. “Those pups are trained thieves. If you buy them off, they will rob your house and return to the seller with all your money by the next day. It is a common trick in the rogue’s world.” Aurora let out a long sigh internally. They spread out and did some field work. They would pretend to be interested in something and started a casual conversation with the vendor, asking them if they knew anything about the Rogue King.

, One dropped and for a minute, I took a pause to listen to her. “Stolen?” “What was that and who stole it?” I asked almost immediately,wondering what could be that previous to disturb one of the billionaire’s of the city. “A treaure owned by his grandfather. It was passed to him but Alexander stole it and kept it in his possession since then. Grey is not a strong man at heart. He easily gets trampled upon and it’s not surprising that he was a victim of Alexander’s bullying”, One explained and immediately, I felt a cold feeling engulf my soul.

They tuck their tails and vanish into the trees, whimpering. The man walks toward me. He doesn't care about the mud ruining his shoes. He stops three feet away, looking down at me through the rain. His eyes are the color of a winter sea—cold, deep, and utterly dangerous. Lucian. The Mafia King of the South. The man they call the Bone-Breaker. He looks at my shaking hands, then at the blood on my lip. "You look like you've had a very long night, little wolf," he says. His voice is a rich, dark velvet.

Controlled. Just like me.

Luckily, most of the ground is covered in a soft moss so although my body feels bruised, I do not think that anything is broken. I let out a groan as I try to push the body off of me.

He turned the figurine over, inspecting it with a meticulousness that spoke of years in the trade. “For you,” he said, his voice low. Elena’s eyebrows arched, surprised by the unexpected gesture. She took the figurine, weighing it in her palm. “You paid a lot of money to have me swipe this, why gift it to me?” she asked, her tone neutral. Shadow’s gaze locked onto hers, his eyes glinting in the dim light. “Sometimes, the greatest treasures lie within the fakes.” Elena’s expression remained impassive. She tucked the figurine into her clutch, while she mentally updated the transaction as the weirdest encounter she ever had with a client.
