From within the stone building, the gut–wrenching screams slowly faded, morphing into ragged, broken sobs, intil finally, only a profound, terrifying silence remained.

You can beat him to death, I guarantee you,” a voice cut in, cold and steady. “But for next week’s blood bond ceremony, you’ll still be walking down the

isle, clutching his picture.”

ulia froze, her entire body stiffening, her rage palpable. She looked like she was on the verge of snapping and shifting right there.

After she hung up, I watched Julia storm into the pack healing ward. Her heels, sharp and furious, echoed a frantic rhythm on the gleaming corridor loor.

She practically slammed the patient room door open.

The moment I heard the door click open, my head snapped up, and I knew the worry pooling in my eyes was impossible to hide.

Where have you been?”

Grayson peeled off his jacket, the night’s chill and the scent of distant pines still clinging to it, and walked over, settling onto the sofa next to me.

The hesitation lasted only a moment.

My face was a carefully blank canvas, as if the name had just drifted in from a stranger.

I turned to the kitchen and ladled out a bowl of warm soup, then brought it over to Grayson.

My tone was perfectly calm, as if I were commenting on tomorrow’s lunar phase.

So, the four of them, they’re finally a family again?”

‘Mhm.”

‘And while I was at it, I also arranged a good match for Andrew.”

My obsidian stone screen flickered, lighting up with Howlnet notifications, then dimming, only to light up once more. I picked it up, then put it down, estless.

Carson watched me, and I could tell his own heart was clenching, even as he tried to sound casual and reassure me.
