Resentment burned in Mason, fueling his anger. He activated his pack–link, contacting Andrew.
The link crackled for a long time before Andrew answered, his voice rough with exhaustion.
“Hello, Mason, are you back at the den?”
“Yes. Ethan, the Smith den was burned to the ground. Do you know where Isabella is hiding?”
Andrew’s response was a low growl.“I haven’t found her.”
If he knew, he would have already come for me! For days, he’d been working tirelessly, managi dealing with the Pack Council’s inquiries.
Grayson had placed and
He’d initially believed I deserved Grayson’s attention, but now, all he wanted was to capture me and give me a thorough scolding.
Mason’s teeth felt sharp against his lip. Did I really think I could hide from him?“I know where to find her.”
“Where?” Andrew’s voice was urgent, the concern palpable. He had checked my new location but found nothing.
“Fire.”
A cold smirk played on Mason’s lips, malice glinting in his eyes.
His wolf’s grin mirrored the malice.“She can run, but the place can’t. She’s been showing herself at Fire these past few days. Go to Fire tomorrow; you’ll find her.”
The next morning, in the Smith family dining room, I sat at breakfast with Grayson.
His pack–link chimed, drawing my attention to the unusual interruption. He rarely checked it during our meals.
But this time, he glanced at it, then picked it up.
I watched him, a question in my eyes. Before I could speak, he smirked.
“Mason returned yesterday. I believe he’ll be at Fire waiting for you today.”
Grayson’s lips curved into a playful arc.
He grabbed a napkin and cleaned his paws, then picked up his coat, adjusting the collar.
“Finished? I’ll drive you.”
I nodded, obediently picking up my coat and following him.
Grayson’s transport was a sleek black vehicle; its windows were tinted, ensuring complete privacy.
As we approached Fire, I spotted Mason from a distance.
He stood at the entrance, his hands in his pockets, his brow furrowed in impatience, his expression cold and unforgiving.
Every time he had waited for me, he’d worn that same expression, but this time, it was amplified.
Grayson drove past him, then smoothly turned into the underground garage. Mason remained oblivious to the fact that I had passed him, unaware of my presence.
Grayson’s vehicle stopped near the lift. A faint smile touched his lips.

“Isabella, have someone capture a picture of him frozen at the entrance, looking like a fool”
A smile appeared on my face. Grayson always found amusement in tormenting the Miller brothers.
I nodded.
“Sure, high–definition.”
I unbuckled my belt, exited the transport, and took the lift upstairs.
I had so much work to catch up on.
Two hours vanished in a flurry of activity, causing me to completely forget about Mason.
Both Grayson and I assumed Mason would be consumed by rage and wait outside.
But by 9 a.m., he finally realized he’d missed me.
He knew how responsible I was. Knowing I had taken over Fire, he knew I would be there, on time.
The scent
of
my
work and his anticipation were a strange mixture in the air.
