(Author’s POV)

The assassin froze in his tracks.

He stared at the figure who had just crashed through the window.

+25 Points

Shards of glass lay scattered across the expensive carpet, glimmering under the harsh chandelier light like jagged diamonds.

The intruder landed in a crouch, boots crunching on the debris.

Dressed in black tactical gear, this newcomer radiated a dangerous aura.

It was the presence of a seasoned predator interrupting a scavengers‘ feast.

Adrian’s eyes widened in horror, his face draining of all color.

This variable was not part of the plan.

Everything was supposed to be simple tonight.

Caleb was unconscious in his room, heavily sedated by the drugs Adrian had slipped him earlier.

He would never wake up to hear his mother’s screams.

Adrian intended to kill Livia and blame it on Amelia.

He had the narrative ready: his estranged daughter, consumed by hatred, sent a hitman to destroy the

family.

But now, everything was spiraling out of control.

Who was this person in black?

Was he here to save Livia?

Impossible.

No one could have known that Livia was in danger tonight.

Adrian clutched his shoulder, his fingers digging into his own flesh.

Smoke still rose from the silver burn, the skin blackened and oozing where the assassin’s blade had struck

him.

The pain was excruciating, but the fear of exposure was worse.

A flash of vicious cruelty crossed his eyes.

He abandoned his act of the loving mate instantly,

“Kill them!” Adrian roared, his voice cracking with desperation.

He pointed a trembling finger at the intruder.

“Kill this intruder! And kill her! Don’t leave anyone alive!”

Livia slumped against the doorframe of Caleb’s room.

Her legs gave out as she heard the order.

The last shred of hope in her heart turned to ash.

The man she had loved for twenty years, the Alpha who swore to protect her, truly wanted her dead.

Silas let out a cold, mocking laugh from beneath his mask.

He ignored the Alpha’s frantic screaming completely.

With a flick of his wrist, he tightened his grip on his combat blade.

He launched himself at the assassin.

The hitman was a professional, trained to kill efficiently for money.

But Silas was a survivor forged in the fires of the rogue lands.

He moved faster than the eye could follow.

His blade spun like a deadly web, forcing the assassin back.

Blood bloomed on the assassin’s arms as Silas sliced through his defenses with surgical precision.

The assassin flinched as cold steel nicked his ribcage.

His movement slowed for a fraction of a second due to the pain.

That was all Silas needed.

He lunged forward, his hand clamping onto his wrist like an iron vice.

With a sickening crunch, he twisted his arm.

The silver dagger clattered uselessly to the floor.

The assassin snarled and threw a desperate punch with his free hand.

Silas ducked effortlessly, moving like smoke.

He spun behind him and brought the hilt of his blade down on the back of his neck.

The assassin’s eyes rolled back.

He collapsed like a puppet with cut strings, hitting the floor with a heavy thud.

Silas dropped his knee onto his spine, pinning him to the floor.

Adrian stared, his mouth hanging open in disbelief.

He had paid a fortune for this top–tier killer.

Yet, this stranger had dismantled him in seconds.

Livia watched with complicated eyes, her breathing ragged.

She realized with a jolt that this person belonged to Amelia.

Only Amelia had the means to send someone like this.

Suddenly, the assassin’s jaw clenched.

He was trying to bite down on something.

“Not today,” Silas hissed.

He jammed his fingers into his mouth, forcing his jaw open with brutal strength.

He fished out a small capsule hidden in a fake tooth.

Cyanide.

He tossed the lethal pill across the room.

“You don’t get to die yet,” Silas said coldly.

“Not until your Alpha arrives to see this.”

Adrian slumped against the wall, sliding down until he hit the floor.

He knew it was over.

His carefully crafted narrative had shattered into a million pieces.

Despair washed over him, drowning him in a cold tide.

(Amelia’s POV)

Theodore and I arrived twenty minutes later.

The front door of the villa stood wide open.

The scent of blood and fear wafted out into the night air.

I stepped into the living room, my heels clicking on the floor.

The destruction was absolute.

Livia was leaning against Caleb’s bedroom door.

She looked like a ghost, her face pale and her eyes hollow.

She seemed to have lost the will to stand,

Silas looked up from where he guarded the bound assassin.

“Target secured, Boss,” Silas reported calmly.

“I stopped him from taking the easy way out.”

“Good work,” I said.

*Pathetic,* Ava growled in my mind. *Look at her.*

My wolf was looking at Livia with utter disdain.

I felt no pity for the woman who gave birth to me.

I walked past Silas, checking him quickly for injuries.

He was untouched.

Then I turned my gaze to Livia.

Livia looked up at me.

Her eyes were filled with despair and a deep, burning shame.

She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

I didn’t say a word to her.

I walked right up to where she stood blocking the door.

Without hesitation, I raised my leg.

I kicked the door open with a resounding crash.

Livia gasped and stumbled.

Without the door to lean on, she nearly fell to the floor.

The sudden noise seemed to snap her out of her trance.

The room inside was dark and quiet.
