There was no justification, no silver lining, no noble sacrifice attached to it. It was just bad.

I exhaled slowly, closing my eyes for a brief moment as I reached for my wolf making sure she was there. Before I even got into the car that brought me here, I had made my stance clear to her–I would not tolerate her dramatics or stubbornness today. If I called for her, she had better listen.

All I got in response was a sharp flicker of amusement in my head, but I knew deep down that if I truly needed her, she would be there. At least, I was counting on it.

The restaurant was eerily empty. No tables, no chairs–just a vast open space that felt more like a stage than a meeting place. Damien was nowhere to be seen yet, but I knew better than to relax.

Then the door creaked open, and I went rigid.

Footsteps./Steady, unhurried.

My wolf bristled instantly, a low growl vibrating through my chest. I turned sharply, expecting Damien.

But it wasn’t him.

It was Grayson.

For a moment, neither of us spoke.

I wasn’t sure what to say. I wasn’t even sure why he was here. Had Damien called him, too? Or had he followed me?

Just like this one was..

“The golden couple to be graces me with their presence,” He mused, spreading his arms as if he were welcoming guests to a party, “What an honor this is.”

I opened my mouth to speak, but he raised a single hand, cutting me off before I could even begin.

“The rules from the vault still apply here, Little Dove,” He reminded me smoothly. “Don’t speak unless I ask or give you permission to. Istill have a target on all your friends. And your… non–friends.”

His gaze flickered to Grayson behind me, and something dark curled in his smirk.

“You know, has anyone ever told you that you frown too much?” Damien mused. “Wrinkle lines aren’t a good look. It’ll ruin that picture–perfect face of yours. Why do you think I smile so much?”

“Because you’re a lunatic,” I spat before I could stop myself.
