The moment Amy sent me the footage, I called my top security heads. When they arrived, everyone looked tense, and I didn’t blame them.

A guard was still missing, and the attacker hadn’t been identified. That alone was enough to set every instinct in me on edge.

“Show me what you have,” I said.

Cole pulled up a series of images taken from the scene where the missing guard’s scent trail ended. The quality wasn’t perfect, but the signs were clear.

The soil pattern, the way the struggle went, the precision of the blows–it wasn’t some random rogue skirmish.

“Whoever hit him knew what they were doing,” Cole said. “This wasn’t messy. It was trained work.”

Trent, the head of perimeter defense, added, “Not our usual rogue groups. They don’t fight like this.”

I studied the images carefully. “So we’re looking at someone who had formal training.”

Cole nodded.

Pack–level. That wasn’t something you heard often anymore. Most packs trained their security, yes, but this level of precision was something old–school alphas used when they wanted to hide a threat inside a clean operation.

Cole and Trent exchanged a look. “We already did,” Trent answered. “The attacker is strong, disciplined, and knows exactly how to disable a guard without killing him.”

That last part stood out. If they wanted the guard dead, they would have finished the job. Leaving him. missing meant something else–information extraction, intimidation, or strategic removal.

None of the options were good.

I stepped back from the table. “Call an emergency meeting with the southern alpha.”

Cole blinked. “Now?”

“Yes,” I said. “I’m done pretending he’s uninvolved just because he’s been quiet.”

Cole sent the message immediately.

The southern alpha arrived two hours later, walking in with the same neutral expression he always wore. Too neutral.

Like he practiced it in a mirror. His guards stayed outside, which I didn’t trust either. A cautious man always brought one inside, even if he pretended to be friendly

“Thank you for coming,” I said. “I’ll be direct. Rogues have crossed into my territory from your side three times this month. I want to know what movements you’ve noticed.”

He smiled politely. “Strange activity, yes. But nothing that threatens your land.”

“That wasn’t the question,” I said.

He looked down at the table, pretending to think. “I can’t confirm anything at the moment. My trackers are still investigating.”

My wolf pushed forward immediately. It wasn’t anger–it was something sharper. The instinct that told me when someone was lying.

“You’re avoiding the real answer,” I said. “Why?”

His eyes flicked up. “Daniel, I’m not your enemy.”

“Then be straight with me.”

His jaw tightened for a second, then he relaxed again. “I don’t have the full picture yet. When I do, I’ll share it.”

I didn’t believe him. The lie sat thick in the air, and my wolf pressed against my skin as if trying to tear the truth out himself.

“Rogues don’t move the way they have been unless someone organizes them,” I said.

The southern alpha folded his hands. “If someone is organizin

When he was gone, I stood alone in the room for a moment. My wolf paced in my chest, restless. That meeting confirmed what I already suspected–something bigger was moving behind the scenes. And it had nothing to do with normal rogue trouble.

Back in the main building, Cole met me halfway down the hall.

“You need to hear this,” he said.

“What now?”

“Clara tried to visit Elder Rowan privately. She told the guards it was about ‘clearing misunderstandings.”

“She knows she isn’t allowed to wander freely,” I said.

Cole nodded. “Exactly. Do you want her brought in?”

“No,” I said. “Shadow her. Quietly. Don’t alert her. I want to see who she meets next.”

Understood.”

If Clara was linked to Elias–or worse, someone outside the pack–we needed proof before cornering her. A cornered traitor was more dangerous than a confident one.

By the time I made it back to the packhouse bunker, Amy was inside, sitting at the small desk with her laptop open. She didn’t hear me come in right away; she was focused on the screen, replaying the same footage she had sent me earlier.

When she finally turned her head, her face was tight with frustration.

“I’ve watched this ten times,” she said. “It’s still the same. Whoever went into that server room wasn’t Mark.”

I walked closer until I could see the footage clearly. The figure moved with certainty, no hesitation, no confusion. The posture alone told me they knew the layout of her building.

My wolf snarled under my skin, low and steady. “This person had pack training.”

Amy looked up sharply. “Meaning what?”
