*** Kirk’s POV
I watched as the little Honda zipped away, weaving through the sea of sleek luxury vehicles parked up and down the block for Elirisha Ravenshade’s party. That tiny car seemed so out of place, like a kid sneaking into a private club where they didn’t belong. The stark contrast caught my attention, but only briefly. My mind had more pressing matters to focus on.
“She’s kinda cute for her age,” Grimnir, my wolf, observed, his voice echoing in the back of my mind.
“Whatever,” I muttered, keeping my attention on the rest of the gathering. Grimnir wasn’t wrong, Liliana had a certain look to her, but there was no time for distractions. Eamon had already chimed in about his observations, she wasn’t of interest to us. I had a job to do, and a possible new lead was about to unfold right

*** Red’s POVI could feel him the moment I stepped away from the party. His presence was unmistakable, like a shadow lingering just at the edge of my awareness. They were watching, of course. It wasn’t a surprise—Elirisha Ravenshade wasn’t the kind of woman to hold a casual BBQ without attracting attention. The authorities had been keeping tabs on her businesses for a while now, and it was only a matter of time before they started looking closer at her inner circle.Still, the wolf tailing me was persistent. His energy clung to the air behind me like a bad cologne, following me through the streets as I made my way to the brewery. I could have lost him easily, but there was no time for games. My task was urgent, and if push came to shove, I was confident I could dispose of him without breaking a sweat.

*** Red’s POV“He’s not as dumb as he looked,” my wolf, Nyx, noted dryly, her voice dripping with reluctant acknowledgement. The wolf tailing us hadn’t been thrown off by our diversion tactics, even if he lumbered along like an ogre.“He is kinda hot though”, Nyx added.“Thank you, Captain Obvious,” I muttered, trying to stay focused. It sounded like a beast was on our trail, clumsy and very un-wolf-like. If he were trying to stay hidden, he wasn’t doing a great job of it.“I’ll be sure to let Dawn know how much you love her gift of ShadowSense,” I teased.Nyx huffed in response, sulking in the back of my mind.I rolled my eyes.Nyx loved to take credit for all the rune-granted abilities like they were her own natural talents. It was exhausting sometimes. I wasn’t in the mood to coddle her ego today, especially when we were being followed.These woods weren’t dense enough to lose a seasoned tracker, and they didn’t stretch on for very long. Still, they emptied out into a busy and, more

*** Lisa’s POV ***“Smells good in here, Lisa.” Riona's voice cut through the lively hum of conversation as she strolled up to where I stood. “Some good people watching, too.”“As subtle as ever,” I teased, glancing around at the mix of guests mingling in the garden, fully aware that Riona was keeping an ear on the uninvited guests lurking just beyond my property.She had always had a way of zeroing in on what really mattered while making it seem like she wasn’t paying attention at all. But today, her usual easygoing nature was tempered by a tension I hadn’t seen in a long while.“Her awakening was unexpected,” Riona said quietly, her voice lowering as she glanced away from the crowd. “I’m worried for her.”

*** Riona's POV ***Nyx purred in the back of my mind, thoroughly enjoying the late-night spectacle at Jack-in-the-Box. Human women, with their intoxicating mix of innocence and willingness, danced for the pleasure of us Others. Their movements were fluid and sensual, a deliberate invitation, but they rarely understood the depth of what they were truly offering. Our kind had a tendency to take more than intended—we were greedy by nature.The club itself was a study in decadent excess. A sleek, high-end erotic playground, where the liquor was as expensive as the clientele was rich. The air was thick with the smell of cigars, aged whiskey, and expensive perfume, blending with the raw scent of desire. The lighting was l

*** Kirk’s POV I’d been watching Red all night, my eyes tracking her every move like a predator circling its prey. Eamon had checked in a few times, going over leads the team had gathered from the party, but they were weak compared to tailing Red. Eamon agreed—Red was the real play. And I wasn’t just interested in watching her for the job; I wanted to get on her. It had been

*** Kirk’s POV“In my game, I ask the questions, and if I like your answers, I’ll reward you,” I whispered, my breath grazing Red’s ear and trailing down her neck. Her skin was smooth, and I noted, just as I suspected, no mate mark. The thrill of control coursed through me, heightened by the lack of any visible bond on her.“Let me guess,” she quipped, tilting her head slightly in response to my closeness, “If you don’t like my answers, you’ll punish me? So original.”“I’m all about originality, baby. If I don’t like your answers, I’ll just slit your throat instead,” I said smoothly, letting my words hang in the air like a knife. Grimnir stirred in my mind, pleased at the threat.She snorted a laugh, the sound light but unimpressed. “Well, that would be original for a cop... unless, of course, you’re crooked,” she mused, her voice dripping with amusement as she trailed off.“I’m straight as an arrow, baby,” I growled, grinding my hips forward into her backside, feeling the tension betw

*** Kirk’s POV"We’ve noticed that Miss Ravenshade has had some bad luck recently." Kirk’s voice was low, his words measured as his eyes tracked every subtle movement in Red's body.Red turned to him, a coy smile playing at the edges of her lips. "Has she? I hadn’t noticed." Her expression glinted with a hint of surprise, as if Kirk's line of questioning caught her off guard. This wasn’t where she thought the conversation was headed—it wasn’t why she thought they were following her. Maybe they weren’t dirty cops after all."We don’t like disturbances Others cause," Kirk continued, his tone carrying a quiet authority. "Especially when they turn up on the Humans' radar."Her gaze softened slightly, thoughtful. "Well, Miss Ravenshade doesn’t want to be on any radar, thus the increase in ‘disturbances.'"A less perceptive wolf would have missed the subtly in her response , but I understood. The attacks on Ravenshade had been relatiory. She was refusing to play ball with someone. There was

*** Riona’s POVThe club was exactly what I’d needed tonight—an escape, a promise. The kind of place where desires were laid bare, and the shadows offered protection. This wasn’t a dive bar filled with humans and their cheap thrills. No, this was for our kind, for those who could afford the exclusivity. The lights were low, casting a seductive glow over the polished wood and velvet, and the faint scent of the finest perfumes and expensive cigars lingered in the air. Dancers moved on the stage like art, their bodies shimmering beneath the chandeliers that dripped with crystal.I didn’t come here for business, and I definitely didn’t come here to be bothered by him—who I had been sure I’d lost hours ago.Skoll had been restless for weeks, and I’d promised her some action tonight. A little reward for her patience. After all, it wasn’t every night I found time to indulge in what this place offered—namely, anonymous satisfaction. I deserved it. She deserved it. But this? This wasn’t what I
