The apartment was quiet. Far too quiet.

"Open up, Fiona!"

Edwin,thrust his shoulder into the door, the wood creaking under his weight as it swung open. Immediately, I was hit with the scent of Fiona's perfume. But something was off.

"She's not here," I whispered, clutching the silver necklace around my throat. I couldn't explain how or why, but I could just

sense it.

Peter and Edwin exchanged wary glances before stepping into the dimly lit apartment.

"Fiona?" Edwin called out.

"Alpha Edwin? Over here." It wasn't Fiona who answered us; it was a man. One of her guards.

We rounded the corner into the living room to find Fiona's two guards-one male and one female-standing in the middle of the space, looking bewildered. Their eyes darted between us and the open window, where the sheer white curtains were billowing in the cool breeze..

"Where is she?" Edwin demanded. "She's under arrest by decree of Crescent Pack."

One of the guards, a burly man with a close-cropped haircut, rubbed his hand along the back of his neck. "We... We don't know."

"What do you mean you don't know?" Edwin growled. "It's your job to watch her."

The two guards glanced at each other. "She was here one minute, and then..." The male guard trailed off, gesturing helplessly at the open window.

With a huff, Edwin strode over to the window and leaned out to examine the fire escape. "She must have slipped out." He whirled on the guards, fury flashing through his eyes. "What were you two dimwits doing while she was escaping?"

The other guard, a woman with steely gray eyes and black hair pulled into a neat bun, shook her head. "We were both in the room," she insisted nervously. "Turned our backs for all of three seconds and then she was gone."

Peter scoffed, rolling his eyes. "Some guards you are."
