The ride to Marlik’s house was silent. I had insisted on driving her there myself.

My palm rested on her thigh as I drove, warm, possessive but halfway through, she gently lifted my hand away, careful not to ›ffend.
read the air, the subtle withdrawal, and let my fingers fall back to the gearshift without protest.
When we finally pulled into the garage, I stopped the car and frowned at the familiar vehicle already parked outside.
What is Desmond doing here without informing me?” I murmured under my breath, recognizing the sleek black sedan just like nine. He had bought two and gifted me one.
Without another word, I stepped out and moved to open her door but she was already out, heading inside on her own. I followed a tep behind.
The usual butler greeted her with a deep bow. As we entered the living room, Marlik was descending the stairs.
(asmin, Desmond, and Mother sat together on the sofa, laughing softly at some TV show. The scene felt both awkward and strangely pleasant, normalcy I hadn’t expected.
‘Oh, Snow is here!” Yasmin beamed, jumping up to rush over and wrap her in a tight hug.
watched Snow melt into it, shoulders loosening, face softening. She felt the peace here; it radiated off her. Yasmin pulled back with a bright grin.
‘Wow. You’re all over the news.”
Snow offered a small, tired smile, then walked over to Mother. The older woman gently tugged her down beside her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders with fond protectiveness.
“My goodness, you look so exhausted. Have you eaten anything?” Mother asked, but before Snow could answer, she continued, “Come to the dining room. Let me serve you some dinner. Come on, dear.”
Mom didn’t glance my way once. I knew why. She still hadn’t forgiven me for refusing to retire fully from the life. She knew I had no intention of stepping away, not yet.
As they headed toward the dining room, Snow paused to how politely toward Marlik. He nodded in quiet greeting Yasmin traited after them, chattering softly. Marlik walked over to join me in the living room.
“She’s still mad at you,” he said flatly.
“Obviously.” I turned to Desmond. “Why are you here without letting me know?”
“Uh… do I have to report every visit to your family?” he replied, raising an eyebrow “They’re your family

“It’s okay if he comes,” Marlik interjected, surprising me. “He’s been here since morning”

Before I could press for details, Marlik stepped closer, voice dropping.
“Jahan, how will you help me?”
I frowned. “What help?”
“About Dove.” Exhaustion bled through his words. He looked as frayed as I felt teetering on the edge of the same insanity. “She’s stubborn. I don’t even know what species she is sometimes.”
“A werewolf. An omega, obviously. What’s wrong with her?”
Marlik stared at me like I’d asked if the sky was blue.
‘So you’ve already forgotten her mother died and she’s carrying my pup?”
‘I know all that. I just…” I sighed, suddenly overwhelmed, and sank onto the couch, gripping the armrest to hold myself together. ‘Is everything okay with her?”
‘It’s her father. She’s hell–bent on seeing him caught.” He settled beside me with a heavy exhale. “With him still on the run… Dove sn’t okay. She goes back to work, acts like everything’s fine, but… I don’t know, Jahan. You think you can find this man?”
set my jaw, turning to Desmond on the opposite couch.
‘Should I have the system hunt him down?” Desmond asked.
shook my head. Not yet. I wouldn’t drag the mafia into this unless necessary.
‘Send his details to Fenris. Tell him to locate him tonight or tomorrow at the latest. Pay whatever he demands, transfer only.”
‘Okay, boss.” Desmond rose and stepped away to handle it.
Silence settled between Marlik and me until he broke it gently.
‘I don’t know what to do with Mom, Jahan. She’s still mad at you.”
I lifted my gaze toward the dining area and nodded slowly. “She’ll come around once I give her reasons. Have you informed her about Dove and the pup?”
“Not yet. Not when Dove is still acting up. The last time we met, she told me she wish her father drop dead.”
I frown at that, clearly what she’d feel which I understand.
Just then, Snow emerged from the dining hall with Yasmin. They were talking softly, heads close, closer than I’d ever seen. Iraised an eyebrow as they passed us and headed up the stairs.
“They seem close now,” I murmured.
Marlik shrugged like it was obvious.
“Yasmin’s been alive again ever since Feroz was put away Mom, though… she still feels like more is coming
“Cupid?”

Before I could respond, Snow’s voice drifted down from the balcony. “Cupid7”
