Valen, private collectors from Dubai. Around them, the world watched with masked curiosity. But Camilla wasn’t watching the items. She was watching the watchers. “Target at three o’clock,” Riccardo murmured. Camilla’s eyes found him instantly—tall, Eastern European, sharp suit, earpiece discreet. Not Matteo, but a lieutenant. They took their seats as the auction began. First: rare jewels. Second: a stolen military prototype. Third: a leather-bound ledger marked with a single seal—the Falcone crest.

Molly, Det. Brighton and Rodrick were out in the desert waiting on for the chasen to show up; with her tapping into more of the fear she had for it so that it could sniff her out and show up. "This is going to work right?" Det. Brighton asked. "Yeah," Rodrick answered. "It has to." "And she's going to come back right?" "Absolutely. The plan is going to work and everything is going to be o.k." "O.k."

He left. Disconcerted by his quiet words, she sat down in a chair. Great. Now she felt bad. Well, how was she supposed to know it hadn’t been the bad guys chasing her? Those poor sods probably had families. Disgruntled, knowing she’d sleep poorly anyway, she sat around and tried to think of something to make amends. *** Fallon paused in drinking his coffee, one brow raised. Malian had just delivered a piece of paper with a complex schematic. He had to smile as he read the messy handwriting across the top. Rain had designed a night vision goggle to protect his Haunt’s eyes from sudden flashes.

he replied, his stomach growling in response. "Not that," Malakai retorted. "The other scent, the sweet one." Driven by pure instinct, Malakai set off to pursue the captivating fragrance. In his wolf form, his senses were heightened to an extraordinary degree, irresistibly drawing him closer to the scent that called to him like no other. Archer attempted to follow, but Malakai swiftly commanded him to stay put. Archer reluctantly obliged, watching as his alpha disappeared into the night.

The tower tilted, its purple light flickering wildly as the generator base sparked with blue fire. But from the thickest part of the fog behind the machine, Malakai Wolfe stepped forward, his long white coat perfectly clean despite the blood and snow that covered the mountain. He held a long, silver staff topped with the split-tongued wolf crest, the metal pulsing with the same high-frequency wave that was currently trying to hollow out Kaden’s brain.

But the thing that alarmed Ash the most was his conclusion from this entire riddle. There is a mole in the White Wolf's Clan. His hands were shaking as he minimised the image of the tomb and maximised his program. His Spider Crawl was a system he programmed years ago that would gather him some sensitive information that couldn't be gathered anywhere. Even bridging the CIA's information database.

The program blinked a notification showing that his crawling was complete. He clicked OK and then the report displayed.

Because I knew that my journey to finding answers started with him. * * * Malachi stood watch as Flora ducked behind a tree to avoid a guard. The guard looked up at him in question but he shook his head, a small smile on his lips as he watched the guard halt and only start patrolling when he could no longer scent Flora.

"Officer, thank God you're here! They took my dog and won't admit it!" "Dog?" Jasper's gaze moved across the group and settled on Cola beside Nicole. A flicker of surprise crossed his face. A Belgian Malinois, and not an ordinary one. The coat was dense and well-kept, the build solid, the proportions excellent. Jasper had worked with plenty of police dogs before, especially Malinois.
