"You’re not going alone, Lila," Lucas stated firmly, his voice brooking no argument.

"I never said I was," Lila shot back, crossing her arms.

Jake scoffed. "You were thinking it, and that’s enough of a problem."

Lila exhaled sharply, frustration bubbling beneath the surface. "We don’t have time to waste! Every second we sit here arguing, we risk losing those servers for good. I can move faster on my own—"

"No," Lucas cut in, his tone final.

Jake leaned forward, resting his forearms on his knees. His teasing demeanor was gone, replaced by something sharper. "Let me make this real simple for you. You’re not setting foot in Bell Town without us. Period."

Lila clenched her jaw, her cybernetic fingers twitching involuntarily. She had spent so much time fighting against them, against their control, and now, when she needed to act quickly, they were slowing her down. "I don’t need babysitters," she muttered.

Jake smirked, but there was no humor in it. "And we don’t need you thr

    LUCAS POV After spending hours on the phone with everyone I knew who could help me with this trial, I finally managed to push it back by one day. It wasn’t as much time as I would’ve liked, but I couldn’t afford to complain. Having just one extra day meant we needed to travel nonstop, which made me anxious, especially for Lila’s health. I kept a close eye on her, making sure she was doing well. She looked different, stronger, more confident. There was a glow to her, her cheeks fuller, her dimples showing again, and her hair looking shinier and healthier. Most noticeably, the clothes I had bought for her seemed to fit better. She had regained some weight, and it suited her. The way she carried herself now was different—more assured, more at ease. Seeing her like this made me feel relieved. She deserved to feel safe, to feel whole again. As we traveled, I handled important pack business over the phone, keeping everything in order while we were away. Even then, I couldn’t help but n

    Lila let out a slow breath, eyes fluttering open to the dim glow of dawn seeping through the curtains. Her body ached—not from pain, but from the lingering sensations of the night before. She stretched slightly, her muscles sore yet satisfied, a warmth curling in her chest at the thought of Lucas. The way he had held her, the way he had whispered assurances against her skin. A rare moment of vulnerability between them. But as she turned, reaching out across the bed, her fingers met nothing but cool sheets.She sat up, a frown creasing her brow. Gone. Again.Swinging her legs over the edge, she rubbed at her temples, frustration bubbling beneath the surface. She should have known better than to believe Lucas would still be there when she woke up. It wasn’t in his nature to linger, not when there were things to be handled. Yet, disappointment sat heavy in her chest.Pulling on a loose shirt, she padded out of the room, her senses sharp despite the remnants of sleep clinging to her. Voic

    The Road Trip & Jake’s Comfort :The plane touched down smoothly, and within minutes, they were off the runway and on the road. Lucas took the wheel, his focus unwavering, while Jake lounged in the passenger seat. Lila sat in the back, exhaustion creeping up on her.Jake turned, catching the way her eyelids drooped. "Get some rest, Lila." She huffed. "I can’t. My mind won’t stop." He reached over, fingers brushing hers. "You worry too much." Lila wanted to argue, but warmth spread from his touch, and her body betrayed her. She curled up slightly, her head resting against Jake’s shoulder."We’ll handle this," he murmured. "Close your eyes." Lila hesitated—then, for the first time in what felt like days, let herself rest.Arriving at the Server Location When Lila opened her eyes, the car had stopped."We’re here," Lucas said.She straightened up, her heart hammering. The old building loomed ahead, its worn brick exterior unchanged since the last time she was here.Jake whistled. "Charm

    Lucas’s Ruthless Promise "There’s a chance they tampered with them," Lila admitted. "If they had time to plant a message, they could have planted something worse." Lucas’s hands tightened on the wheel. "If they did, we’ll handle it." His voice was cold. Too cold. Lila turned to him, something sharp curling in her stomach. "Lucas—" "No one does this without consequences," he said, his tone dangerously low. "They want to play games? Fine. But they’ll regret it." The raw promise in his voice sent a shiver down her spine. For the first time, Lila saw it—not just the controlled, strategic leader but something darker beneath it. Jake shifted in his seat, watching his brother with an unreadable expression. “Lucas, you’re scaring me,” Lila said, her voice barely a whisper. “This isn’t just about the servers anymore, is it?”“It hasn’t been for a long time,” Lucas replied, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. “They crossed a line. They’ll pay for it.”“But what if they’re just trying to scare us

    "Tell me everything." Lila's voice cut through the morning stillness like a blade. She stood in the doorway, arms crossed, her eyes locked onto Lucas and Jake. Lucas hesitated, but she didn’t give him the chance to stall. "No sugarcoating, no half-truths. Just tell me what happened." Jake exhaled heavily, running a hand through his hair. "Your impersonator screwed up. Big time." Lila’s stomach twisted. "What did they do?" Lucas met her gaze, his expression unreadable. "They tried to hack into Rikkard’s systems." The words sent a chill down her spine. Rikkard wasn’t just a threat—he was the kind of monster who didn’t forgive. If someone had attempted to breach his security, there would be consequences. Deadly ones. "And?" she pressed, her voice tighter now. Jake grimaced. "They failed." Lila inhaled sharply. Of course, they had failed. Rikkard wasn’t someone who let his systems be easily accessed, let alone infiltrated. Lucas’s jaw clenched. "Now he’s hunting fo

    The drive back was tense. Lucas remained absorbed in legal documents, barely speaking. Jake tapped his fingers against the car door, occasionally glancing at her. Lila, however, couldn’t stop staring at the screen in front of her. The message from the impersonator—the one hidden in the server—mocked her. She had memorized every letter, every space, every possible pattern. Yet, it refused to make sense. She frowned. “Lawrence,” she murmured. Jake shifted. "What?" Lila exhaled, shaking her head. "I don’t know. It just keeps standing out to me." Lucas finally looked up. "You think he’s real?" Lila bit her lip. "I think if he is, he’s in just as much danger as we are." The car slowed as they approached their destination. Jake stretched. "We should probably focus on surviving this trial first." Lila smirked. "What, you’re not confident?" Jake grinned. "Oh, I am. I just like having backup plans." Lucas shut his laptop with a click. "Then let’s make sure we don’

    Lila barely noticed the sound of the front door opening. Her fingers moved feverishly across the keyboard, her mind racing as she pieced everything together. The moment she cracked the final sequence, her breath caught in her throat.“Lila?” Lucas’s voice snapped her out of her trance. She turned sharply, heart still hammering. He stood in the doorway with Jake beside him, both looking exhausted but alert.“You’re back.” Her voice was hoarse from lack of use.Jake raised an eyebrow. “You sound surprised. What, you think we were gonna let the lawyers handle the trial while we ran off on some mission?” Lila blinked. “You mean… you didn’t?” Lucas sighed, rubbing his temple. “It was a formality. The trial was never going to be a real issue. We were more concerned about what you’d find while we were gone.” His gaze sharpened as he took in the state of the room—papers scattered, multiple monitors running different analyses, lines of code flashing on the screens. “And judging by the look o

    LILA POV I told them about Arika—what little I could remember. Honestly, there wasn’t much, and what I did recall wasn’t great. Arika had always been trouble.She was three years older than me and never missed a chance to make my life miserable. I still remember the relief I felt when she disappeared and never came back. But now, staring at her face on the screen, I felt uneasy. The same way she always made me feel."Is she a hacker too?" Jake asked."I don't know… but she was good at taking things that weren’t hers," I admitted. I remembered how she used to steal from everyone in the orphanage, always shifting the blame onto others. More often than not, I took the fall. She enjoyed watching me struggle."I'll have my men look for her," Lucas assured me. I nodded, but deep down, I knew it wouldn’t be easy to track her down."But for now, you need rest," Lucas added firmly. "You’ve had a long day, and I won’t hear another word about it."I narrowed my eyes at him, tempted to argue. B

    The trap was set.Whether it was theirs—or Arika’s—only time would tell.---"Show us the message," Lucas said sharply, cutting through the heavy silence as they trudged through the abandoned streets.Lila hesitated, her hand instinctively brushing over the inside pocket where the device lay warm against her chest. She could feel their eyes on her—Jake’s heavy with concern, Lucas’s sharp with suspicion. The instinct to protect her secret, to keep the message to herself just a little longer, clawed at her gut.But they deserved to know.They were risking everything with her.With a reluctant sigh, Lila pulled out the device and held it between them. The cracked screen flickered to life under her thumbprint, revealing the first part of Arika’s reply.A simple map blinked into view—a set of old coordinates plotted across a gray, frozen landscape.Lucas leaned in immediately, his eyes narrowing. "That’s... north of the city," he muttered. "Past the trainyard."Jake scowled. "Way past. Tha

    A Trap or A Chance:"She answered too fast," Lila muttered, pacing the room in tight circles."You’re thinking it’s a trap," Jake said, arms crossed as he leaned against the wall, watching her.Lucas frowned. "Could just mean she’s desperate, like you.""No," Lila shook her head firmly. "Desperation doesn't smell like this. This… this feels rehearsed."Jake pushed off the wall. "You set the bait. You knew this could happen.""I know," Lila snapped, then immediately softened. "I just didn’t expect her to bite so easily. Not after all these years."Lucas exchanged a look with Jake. "Maybe she’s been waiting too," he said carefully. "Maybe you’re not the only one who's been playing a long game."Lila’s hands curled into fists at her sides. "Or maybe I've been outplayed before the game even started."Jake’s voice dropped, serious now. "So what’s the move?"Lila stilled, her eyes distant. "We go. We see it through. But we don’t walk in blind."Lucas gave a sharp nod. "Backup plans?""Sever

    Lila’s words lingered in the air like a challenge.“Let’s make a new plan. Because something tells me Rikkard isn’t the only ghost who’ll be showing up.”Jake gave her a cautious look, sensing something unspoken underneath her defiance. “You’ve been thinking about this for a while, haven’t you?”She didn’t answer right away. Instead, she walked back toward the small table near the window where her satchel lay. She reached inside slowly, fingers brushing past the notebook she’d been scribbling in since they arrived in Venut. But it wasn’t the notebook she was after.It was the small, battered silver device hidden beneath it—no bigger than a deck of cards. It hummed faintly in her palm, the casing warm to the touch.Jake’s brow furrowed the moment he saw it. “What is that?”Lila looked at him, then at Lucas, her eyes steady. “I wasn’t just sitting here waiting for you two to come back. While you were keeping Rikkard busy, I was busy too.”Jake crossed the room in two strides. “Lila—what

    Jake didn’t move until the elevator doors slid closed behind Rikkard.Lucas let out a breath that was more of a growl. “He’s gone. For now.”Jake ran a hand down his face. “That was too close.”Lucas turned to him, voice sharp. “We need a plan, Jake. If he gets even a hint of the truth—about her—he won’t stop until he finds her.”“I know,” Jake muttered. “That’s why we’re going to give him something else to chase.”Lucas raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”“A misdirection,” Jake said, already walking toward the lounge bar where a bottle of aged scotch was quietly calling his name. “He’s desperate. He wants answers. We give him just enough to feel like he’s getting somewhere, but not enough to lead him to Lila.”Lucas followed him warily. “You want to lie to him.”Jake poured a finger of scotch and downed it. “Yes. I want to lie so well that he doesn’t think to look any closer.”Ten minutes later, they found Rikkard leaning against a column in the hotel lobby, like a man half-expect

    “You’re joking, right? Please tell me this is some twisted prank,” Lucas muttered under his breath, his eyes never leaving the figure lounging by the fireplace.“I wish it were,” Jake replied quietly, jaw clenched. “But that’s him. That’s Rikkard.”Lucas swore under his breath. “Of all the days… why the hell would he show up in Venut?”“I don’t know,” Jake admitted, hands fisted in his jacket pockets. “But we need to play this smart. We can’t let him know about Lila.”Lucas inhaled sharply and nodded. “You sure he hasn’t seen her?”“Positive. He only saw us. Let’s keep it that way.”The plush lounge of the hotel was dimly lit, scented with expensive cologne, polished leather, and cigar smoke. Rikkard was seated casually on a velvet couch, legs crossed, swirling amber liquid in a crystal tumbler. His demeanor was relaxed, almost amused—but Jake could see it. The glint of calculated menace in his eyes.Jake took a breath and approached with Lucas, every step deliberate. They stopped jus

    “Tell me you’re joking,” Lucas muttered, his voice low and edged with tension.“I wish I were,” Jake replied, running a hand through his damp hair. “But he’s here. In Venut. I saw his convoy near the North Quarter twenty minutes ago.”Lila blinked. “Wait, Rikkard? As in—the Rikkard?”Jake gave a grim nod. “The Mad Alpha himself.”Lucas straightened from where he sat beside Lila on the hotel bed, his entire body going rigid. “How the hell did he find out we were here?”“Doesn’t matter,” Jake said. “What matters is that he’s here. And if he’s sniffing around, it’s not just to catch up over drinks.”Lila’s face lost all color. “You told me he wasn’t a threat anymore.”“I told you what I needed to so you’d sleep,” Jake said quietly, shame flickering across his expression. “But clearly, I was wrong.”“Perfect,” Lucas growled. “Just what we need—another lunatic Alpha throwing his weight around.”“Not just another lunatic,” Jake said, voice clipped. “He’s the lunatic. The one who ripped out

    “…She’s alive,” Lila repeated, quieter now. “I just don’t know where.”Lucas’s hand tightened briefly on her shoulder before he let go, stepping back to give her space even as his eyes lingered with worry. Jake returned to the window, gaze hard and focused.The silence that followed was the kind that spoke louder than words.Then—Knock. Knock. Knock.Not soft. Not tentative.The kind of knock that didn’t ask permission.Jake’s head snapped toward the door. Lucas was already moving—one hand reaching into the drawer beneath the minibar, where he’d hidden a blade and compact gun. Lila rose too, pulse leaping as the door handle turned despite the locks still being in place.Click.“Jake,” Lucas said, tone sharp.Jake strode toward the door and yanked it open an inch just as the locks disengaged, bypassed from the outside.The man who stepped in didn’t belong in any polished hotel suite. His mere presence dimmed the luxurious lighting, as if shadows followed him in.Rikkard.He was as unm

    “I didn’t mean to wake you,” Lucas murmured, brushing a strand of hair from her face.“You didn’t,” Lila whispered back, her voice still drowsy. “I was already half-awake. I just didn’t want to move.”“You were sore,” he said gently, guilt flickering across his features. “I can feel it in your muscles.”“I’m fine,” she said, but he was already moving, sliding from the bed with careful grace.Jake’s voice floated in from the other room. “She’s not fine if she’s wincing in her sleep.”“I wasn’t wincing,” Lila muttered, rolling her eyes even as her cheeks flushed. She tried to sit up, only to wince slightly at the sting between her thighs. Damn it.Lucas was already wetting a towel from the tiny sink across the room. “Don’t lie to me, little wolf,” he said with an affectionate smile that didn’t quite mask his concern. “You’re strong, but you’re not indestructible.”Jake appeared in the doorway, arms crossed, his eyes scanning her with that piercing protectiveness that made her squirm mor

    A Morning of Warmth and Wariness:“Lucas… your knot’s still in,” Lila mumbled, voice raspy with sleep.“I know,” he murmured against her shoulder, lips brushing her skin. “Didn’t want to wake you. You were peaceful.”“I’m not now,” she grumbled, stretching slightly and wincing at the soreness spreading through her hips.His arm tightened around her waist. “Sorry. I lost control.”“You didn’t.” She turned in his arms to face him. “I gave it willingly. Don’t take that away from me.”He searched her face, his eyes dark with concern. “You’re sore.”“I’m alive,” she said with a soft smile. “And I’m with you. That’s enough.”Lucas exhaled, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “Still… I should’ve been gentler.”“You’ll make up for it,” she teased, and for a moment, the heaviness in the room eased.The cabin bedroom was dim, the blinds half-drawn against the gray light of morning. Somewhere beyond the walls of this quiet space, the engines hummed low and steady. But here, wrapped in warm
