Damien’s POV 1

“Three fucking years,” I snarled at the Beta standing in front of my desk. “Three years we’ve been hunting these bastards, and now you’re telling me they just… vanished?”

Marcus flinched but held his ground. Good. At least he had some spine.

“You’d better.” My voice was deadly quiet now. Worse than shouting. “Because if Voss and Valerie are still out there, everything we’ve
