Damien’s POV 1

Three weeks.

Three fucking weeks since Sera walked out of our lives, and I was no closer to finding her than the day she left.

I sat behind my desk, staring at Marcus’s latest report without really seeing the words. Another dead end. Another day of hope crushed

into dust.

*“No trace of her at any of the bus terminals in a 200–mile radius. Checked every hotel, motel, and boarding house we could find. It’s like

she just vanished into thin air.”*

I crumpled the paper and threw it across the room, where it joined a growing pile of similar reports. Useless. All of it.

“Alpha?” Marcus stood in my doorway, his expression carefully neutral. Behind him, Tyler and Jake waited with that same look of

professional sympathy that made me want to put my fist through something.

“Keep looking,” I ordered.

“Alpha-”

“I said keep looking” My voice dropped to that deadly whisper that made grown wolves back down. “Did I stutter?”

“No, Alpha. We’ll keep looking.”

They filed out, leaving me alone with my rage and desperation. I picked up Sera’s letter from my desk, the paper soft from handling, the

ink smudged from my tears.

“I’ll find you if I have to tear apart every town between here and the Pacific Ocean.”
