“Miss Alina left the house and she has not been found ever since,” the guard said.

Even though his tone was clipped and controlled, the panic threaded through it could not be hidden.

“What?” Lucian’s reaction was immediate and raw. “When? When did this happen? What happened?”

The guard’s voice dropped lower. “I don’t really know. There was a conversation she had with her dad, and after that she left. Nobody saw her leaving but she’s nowhere in the mansion.”

Lucian’s chest closed like a trap. “Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.”

He ran one hand over his face, then put the guard through a quick checklist. “Have people been sent out to look for her?”

“Yes,” the guard answered. “Darius Evergreen has sent a whole search party to look for her.”

“All right then, that’s good” Lucian said, trying to keep himself together. “Thank you for letting me know. Keep me posted.”

He ended the call, swallowed against the rising panic, and grabbed his jacket off a nearby chair. He turned toward Ace, phone still in hand.

“What’s going on boss? Where are you going?“Ace asked, glancing up from the monitors, eyes already calculating.

“It’s Alina.” Lucian responded,grabbing the car keys from the table.

“What do you mean?” Ace asked, then spotted Lucian’s tensed expression. “Is everything-?”

“Alina left and nobody has heard from her ever since,” Lucian said in a rush, the words coming sharp and fast. “They’re looking for her, now is not the bloody time for her to be wandering around.” He added in frustration.

Ace opened his mouth to say something then closed it again.

He moved to the window and glanced at the sky that was already darkened with rainclouds. He ran a hand over his jaw. “Alright. Go. You can…I’ll call Talia to ask if she’s heard anything from her and I’ll let you know.”

Lucian nodded, grateful for the quick coordination. He heard Ace dialing the number even as he moved toward the door.

Violet poked her head into the living room then, concern written across her face. “Lucian….what’s going on? Where are you going?”

Ace moved fast. He crossed the room and took Violet’s hand, tugging gently but firmly. He shook his head, the universal signal not to get involved. “Don’t,” he said quietly. His tone was protective, a soft but firm

barrier.

Lucian looked at Violet with an urgency that softened him for a second. “Stay here,” he told her. “Lock the doors if you don’t feel safe at any point. Call me if anything changes.”

She nodded once, tears already threatening. “Okay.” It’s not like she didn’t trust Ace, she just felt safer with Lucian.

Lucian didn’t look back. He rushed out

The walk through the bar entrance felt shorter this time, more urgent. He found the same passage, the same corridor, but his steps were not the leisure–paced sound they had been earlier….they were hunting steps. He fumbled his keys, threw open the car door and slid into the driver’s seat. The vehicle zoomed off with a purposeful hum.

Rain started as he drove heavy, cold, and immediate. He muttered under his breath, words half–prayer, half–curse.

“God. Alina, where are you? Where the fuck are you?”

He took the fastest route in his head back toward the Evergreen estate, working through every possible route he could have taken from memory: the garden paths, the old service lane, the secret routes kids sometimes used. He drove faster than road conditions suggested prudent, the wipers slicing the rain away in frantic beats.

A shape ahead broke in and out of the downpour. It was a dark figure with a hood, stumbling at the side of the road. As he slammed on the brakes and pulled to the curb, he didn’t need more than that single look to know who it was.

It was her.

He leapt out of the car, rain instantly drenching his jacket. His boots hit the soaked pavement and he shouted her name as he ran toward her.

“Alina! Alina, hey!”

But she was dead–eyed, distant, as though the world around her no longer existed. She didn’t respond. Her steps faltered and she nearly went down, slow as if her limbs were made of lead.

Lucian lunged, catching her before she collapsed.

Her body sagged into his arms, wet and limp. He looked down into her face as the rain hammered off the hood and dripped into his collar. Her hand rose weakly, fingers trembling as she tried to touch his face, but they fell back to her side as if they had no strength left.

“Lucian,” she breathed, a weak whisper that was almost swallowed by the

rain.

“Alina,” he said, voice torn raw. “Come on, wake up. Don’t fall asleep.”

She didn’t respond. Her eyes flickered and dulled.

He scooped her up and carried her to the car. Her clothes were plastered to her skin, and her lips were already turning the pale blue of someone

He laid her gently across the passenger seat and buckled the seatbelt. across her as if the simple click could hold her together.

He pulled out his phone and dialed the hospital with one hand while scrambling into the driver’s seat with the other. His voice was tight and fast as the call connected.

“Emergency department?” he said as soon as someone answered. “I’m coming in with one patient….unconscious female, with possible hypothermia. Prepare a trauma bay and notify the family.”

A calm voice replied immediately over the line, “Copy that. Trauma bay will be ready, where was she found.”

“Found her on the side of the road,” Lucian said in a clipped voice. “She was walking in the rain…soaked through. Breathing, but unresponsive. Skin cold, shivering.”
