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.

“Without more specific information about where she might go, we’re basically searching blind. She could be anywhere by now.”

*Anywhere.* The word echoed in my empty chest like a death knell.

“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.”
