BLAIR’S POV My family was happy. I just became the owner of one of the high-ranking companies in Vegas. My boy just turned one, how could I not be ready. Now I could categorically say that my life had never been happier. All I had been fighting for, for as long as I could remember and now had, and the very last thing on my list, was getting married to the one man that had been able to love me, through thick, thin, storm, hails, the rain of fire, brimstone and Sulphur. Through fairly good times and the bad times, through moments where I struggled to love myself. I couldn’t be more delighted. Contrary to Brian’s request, we were having a quiet wedding with the people that mattered the most to us. The very ones who watched our love story began in the craziest of ways, the ones who loved us through the toughest times and encouraged us to love each other through what felt like the possible. Tears flowed down my cheeks, with no apologies whatsoever to my makeup, as II walked down the

BLAIR’S POV I stood in front of the court, with a racing heart. For the last three months, we had been going back and forth with the company’s case in court and this was the day for the court’s final verdict. With Jennifer’s help, we were able to pull down some of the board members, who were then in the picture and they had given their testimonies to the best of their knowledge at the time.Some of them had also patched their relationship with my father, understanding that at the time, he was being manipulated and couldn’t have been able to help himself. The others thought it was wise to maintain their distance, saying that they were only offering the help they could for mine and Jennifer’s sake and didn’t think it was necessary to have a continuing relationship with my father. In it and through it all, we were grateful that they even showed up, some of which were outside the country already, but all returned for a justifiable cause.“Common, let’s go. I know we have this.” Brian

BLAIR’S POV “Blair!” she ran to me with a hug,This was not one of Jennice’s tricks at all. It really was Jennifer. I was filled with awe. “What?” Jennice asked. “You really didn’t think I was going to let that evil sister of mine kill my only child, did you?” Jennice asked.“What?” I was still stunned. All of me was vibrating. “Oh, sit down.” Jennice said. “I had Jennifer when I was quite young and since my stupid lover would not take me and the child and I was still trying to find my foot in the world I was left to live in, I couldn’t keep her.” Jennice began to explain. “I figured it would be better for her to be in an orphanage, than out here with me and so I took her there.” “It ached my heart that I began to travel a lot and lost track of keeping an eye on her, so she began to go through so much stress.”“When I returned to fix it, I realized my twin sister was after her life.”“Jennifer really was involved in that accident that day, but I stole her from the vehicle and

BLAIR’S POV “I could not believe my ears. “Please, show up alone first.’ She pleaded. Before could be asked twice, I fled out of the house, swiping the keys to the car from the table.It wasn’t long after I left the house that I got a text with a location. I diligently followed, not thinking about whether or not I was going to get myself in trouble, or probably kidnapped. I still had my suspicions on who had called and all I could call it was suspicion, since I wasn’t sure yet and it would have been the most unbelievable thing. I followed the location and arrived almost in the middle of nowhere. There was nothing but trees all round I was beginning to think this was some prank call or an attempt at being kidnapped. If it was, I couldn’t even be mad and all I could now do was pray to be successfully out of here. ‘Maybe I had reacted a little too quickly.’‘What was I even thinking?’ I was lamenting and asking questions.I kept trying to reach the number over and over again, bu

BLAIR’S POV Sebastine did not wait to see his father before we left.Luckily, I could leave, although, with a bandaged arm. The bullet had been taken out and the wound was going to slowly heal and I was definitely going to keep seeing Dr. Bruce to make sure that I was fine. Sebastine signed every single thing in his name back to his father and he was leaving the Maldives to literally start a new life in Vegas. He chose us. My only excitement was that we arrived just in time to save him, because I wasn’t sure how I was going to react to losing another member of my family, especially to suicide. When we arrived Vegas, we dropped over at Brian’s house first. Sebastine was going to be living with Brian, before he is able to do anything else.He was done with college and could easily get a job, even though Brian had already promised to include him in the company. Sebastine, had declined both Brian’s, as well as my offer, to work in the company, saying he was tired of family ‘hand-m

BLAIR’S POV We walked into Sebastine with a gun in his hand, just about to fire a bullet into his head. Brian flew for him and I could only stand there in tears, since I had Regal in my hands and couldn't quite get involved in any rigorous fights. Sebastine was hell bent on ending his life, as he began a struggle with Brian for the weapon. “Let it go, Brian!” He yelled, “you both, get out of here!” “Let me be!” He and Brian continued the war for the weapon. “Sebastine, no, please, I beg you.” Ever single word I uttered was choking in tears. “It doesn't have to end this way, please,” I continued. “What other ways does it need to end, Blair?” He probed, “huh?” Luckily, Brian was stronger than Sebastine, sho had spent quite a number of days, without food, but this did not in any way deter the struggle. I took a few steps closer, towards them, trying to beg Sebastine to let go already. “Argh!” I groaned in pain, as a bullet flew out of the gun and right for m the region between

JAXRhys reached the corridor first.Jax followed closely behind, his attention fixed on the empty passageway.The floorboard had creaked only once, but the sound had been clear enough. Someone had been standing outside the security room.“Search the corridor,” Jax ordered.Two guards stationed near the stairwell immediately moved in opposite directions.Rhys crouched beside the floorboard and examined the dusty wood.“There,” he said.A faint mark ran across the surface. Not a footprint exactly, but a narrow scrape, as though someone had dragged the edge of a shoe while turning.Jax looked toward the west wing.“Whoever it was knew how to move quietly.”“Or knew the house well,” Rhys replied.That distinction stayed with Jax.He returned to the security room and picked up the old access record.The scratched-out name was still there.The first letter looked like J.Rhys stood behind him.“Your father used several archive codes,” the Councilor said. “But this one was assigned to his p

SELENESelene stayed awake long after everyone else had gone to bed.She sat beside the window in her room, staring into the garden.The trees were still now.Too still.Jax’s words kept replaying in her mind.Someone else is.Someone else was digging into the night she disappeared.Why?And what did they expect to find?Selene pressed her fingers against her temple.For five years, she had convinced herself that the past was something she could leave behind. She had built a life around that decision.Then one invitation had brought her back.Now the past seemed determined to follow her home.A soft knock came at the door.“Come in.”Anna stepped inside.“You’re still awake.”“I can’t sleep.”Anna closed the door behind her.“Because of Jax?”Selene shook her head.“Because of that night.”Anna’s expression softened.She knew better than most what Selene had carried all these years.“You don’t have to talk about it.”“I know.”Selene looked back through the window.“But what if someon

JAXThe old security room smelled of dust, metal, and the faint oil used to keep the archive equipment running.Jax stood behind the guard’s chair while the recovered footage loaded onto the monitor.Five years.That was how long the file had been sitting untouched.Or at least, that was what everyone had believed.“Play it again,” Jax said.The guard obeyed.The footage showed the main corridor outside the eastern wing of the estate. It was late. Most of the lights were off, leaving only the pale glow from the wall lamps.Selene appeared on screen.She was younger.Smaller.Her hair was loose around her shoulders, and even through the poor quality of the recording, Jax recognized the way she walked when she was upset.She disappeared around the corner.A few seconds passed.Then a figure appeared.Jax leaned closer.The person wore a dark cloak and a mask.His face couldn’t be seen.“Pause.”The guard froze the frame.Jax stared at the screen.Something about the figure bothered him.

SELENEI left the children sleeping.That was the hardest part.Every instinct in me wanted to stay beside them, especially after what had happened the night before. But Anna had promised she would sit with them until I returned, and I knew I couldn’t keep hiding from every difficult conversation.Still, as I followed her down the corridor, I kept looking back.“Don’t worry,” Anna whispered. “I’ll stay right outside their room.”I nodded.The Councilor’s office was at the opposite end of the Alpha wing.The guards opened the doors without a word.Rhys was standing beside the window when I entered.There were no files scattered across the desk this time.Only one old folder.Brown.Worn.The kind of folder that had been opened and closed too many times.He gestured toward the chair opposite him.“Sit.”I remained standing.His eyes flickered with amusement.“You don’t like being told what to do.”“Not by strangers.”“Fair enough.”He closed the folder.“Do you know why I asked you here

The morning after the incident felt strangely ordinary.That was what unsettled Selene most.Sunlight poured through the windows of the guest quarters. Somewhere outside, pack members were beginning their day. The smell of fresh bread drifted from the kitchens.And yet everyone knew something had changed.Selene stood at the sink, staring out the window as she rinsed a cup.“Mama?”She turned.Luca stood in the doorway clutching her stuffed rabbit.Her daughter’s hair was tangled from sleep.“Mmm?”“Are you sick?”The question caught her off guard.Selene set the cup down.“No.”Luca frowned.“You fell down yesterday.”Children noticed everything.Selene crouched in front of her.“I’m okay now.”Luca studied her suspiciously before climbing into her lap.The little girl wrapped her arms around Selene’s neck.“Told you,” Luca mumbled.“Told me what?”“I told the boys you’d be okay.”Selene laughed softly despite herself.From the dining table, Theo looked up.“I said you’d be okay too.

SELENEThe first sign was the silence.Not the peaceful kind. Not the quiet of sleeping children or a calm night.This silence was wrong.Heavy.Pressing.I woke with a sharp inhale, my heart racing before my mind could catch up. The room was dark, but the moonlight spilling through the curtains felt… distant.Muted.Beside me, the children slept.Too still.My stomach dropped.I sat up slowly, every instinct on edge. The air felt thick, like it was resisting me.Something’s here.My wolf stirred, not in fear.In warning.I slipped out of bed, careful not to wake them, and moved toward the door.The moment my hand touched the handle.Pain shot through my chest.I gasped, staggering back as something unseen tightened around me, like invisible chains locking into place.My breath came shallow.My pulse stuttered.A suppression field.But not like yesterday.This one was targeted.Focused.On me.⸻JAXI felt it from across the wing.A sharp drop in energy.Like something had clamped dow
