I didn’t know what I expected to find, but it wasn’t him leaning against the counter, bare-chested and half in shadow, nursing a glass of water like it might drown his demons. For a moment, I just watched him. Dominic Blackwood wasn’t beautiful in a traditional sense. He was all sharp edges and hard lines. A man built like a weapon, forged in fire and sharpened by circumstance.

Aiyana roared with approval inside me, guiding my movements with ancient precision. Another lunged for me from behind, but I spun and drove my fist into his jaw. He crashed backward with a pained howl.

The hall vibrated with the sound of claws scraping stone, bodies colliding, growls echoing like thunder. Marcus was an unstoppable force, his Lycan form cutting through rebels with brutal, precise efficiency. Every movement radiated power, dominance, and deadly beauty.

This man who had spent a century managing and controlling and keeping people at precise distances, sitting at a kitchen table telling me to tell him what I needed with a directness that cost him nothing anymore because he had stopped spending effort on the architecture. "You," I said. "And Sera and Luca. Nothing that looks like a deployment." He nodded once. "And tell me about Marcus," I said. "How did the meeting go?" Something shifted in his expression.

Damon went on, his red gaze scanning the crowd and finally settling heavily on Liam's father who was watching from the sidelines, "insults the House of Blackwood." Liam was about to say something but his father, Alpha Marcus, showed up out of nowhere. He grabbed Liam's shoulder, his fingers dug in hard. "Enough, " Marcus growled. He looked at Damon with icy, calculating eyes. He saw that it was a losing battle. "My apologies, Alpha Blackwood. My son is... emotional. Have a good night, " Marcus pulled Liam along.

“Yes. It is.” Adrian nodded slowly, processing. “She’s been through hell. More than any of us truly understand. I’m grateful for what you did—bringing her home, staying with her when she had no one.
