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.

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.

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