Sophia’s POVEarlier this morning, I had been caught in the whirlwind of the breakfast banquet, the bustling energy of the Shadow City's inhabitants filling the air. Amidst the lively chatter and the clinking of dishes, Ethan had leaned in close, his voice a hushed whisper against my ear. "Someone is coming to see you, someone named Seraphina."I hadn't anticipated the woman's arrival to be so swift, her presence casting a shadow over my thoughts as I replayed the encounter in my mind. Seeing the heartbreak etched across her face had been a stark reminder of the complexities of Alexander's past – a past that I was only just beginning to comprehend. As Alexander's stern expression beckoned Seraphina into his study, I couldn't help but feel a curious itch in the back of my mind. What were they discussing behind those closed doors? What words were being exchanged, emotions laid bare in the private space that had once been a sanctuary for their bond?Lost in my thoughts, I found myself i

Sophia’s POVHe let out a sigh, his expression a mix of weariness and resolution. "It was a tough conversation, my love. I had to be honest with her about us."I nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. "And how did she take it?"Alexander's smile was as endearing as it was helpless, a silent acknowledgment of the complexity of the situation. His playful glance met my eyes, and his words carried a sense of amusement as he explained, "I simply shared some facts with her."I understood the delicacy of the matter and felt a hint of embarrassment under his gaze. My eyes met his in a moment of unspoken understanding, and I found myself lowering my head, my cheeks warming under his scrutiny. His teasing tone pulled me from my thoughts, and I glanced up at him, my lips curving into a shy smile."Jealous?" he inquired, amusement dancing in his eyes.The question caught me off guard, and my blush deepened. I attempted to turn my head away, feigning nonchalance as I stammered, "N-no,

Tyler’s POVThe situation was growing more frustrating by the minute. We had been trying to reach Sophia for days, but every attempt seemed to lead to dead ends and vague excuses. It was unlike her to be so evasive, and it was starting to gnaw at my nerves. My younger brother, Jake, and I had sent countless messages and calls, but her responses had been hesitant, her words mumbling something about being abroad and not planning to return to work anytime soon.I paced back and forth in our makeshift headquarters, my frustration palpable. "This is getting ridiculous, Jake. She's never been this elusive before."Jake glanced up from his laptop, his brow furrowed in concentration. "I know, Ty. It's like she's intentionally avoiding us."I ran a hand through my hair, my frustration giving way to worry. "And where the hell is Sophia? His schedule shows he's been MIA for the past three days, and he's been inactive in human society too."Jake's eyes flicked to the screen, his fingers typing aw

Tyler”s POVI sighed, the weight of our predicament settling heavily on my shoulders. "Exactly. This version can mask our scent for about seven days at most. After that, it'll start to wear off."Jake's gaze met mine, determination burning in his eyes. "That should be enough time to get her back."I nodded in agreement, the plan forming in my mind. "We need to move fast, Jake. We can't afford any mistakes."He met my gaze, his resolve unwavering. "I'm with you, Ty. We're going to bring her back, no matter what."I offered a small smile, gratitude and determination mingling within me. "Alright, here's the plan. We use the scent-masking potion to conceal our presence as we infiltrate the werewolf territory."Jake's fingers tapped on the table, his mind already racing ahead. "And once we're there, we locate her and get her out."I leaned back in my chair, my fingers tapping against the tabletop as I considered the logistics. "Right. We need to be cautious, though. Werewolves have incredi

Tyler”s POVAs Jake followed the path indicated on the map, our surroundings gradually shifted. The dense misty woods began to thin, and before long, a broader road emerged from the shadows. A sense of relief washed over both of us as the forest gave way to a clearer path.Hours later, as the sun began to dip below the horizon, Jake's weariness became evident. He turned to me with a tired smile. "I think it's time for a rest stop. I could use a break."I nodded in agreement, my eyes drawn to the stunning scenery at the foot of the Shadow City mountains. It was a moment of tranquility amidst the tension of our mission.However, our moment of respite was suddenly interrupted by a woman's voice behind us. Her tone was assertive, almost prideful, as she questioned our presence. "Who are you, and what brings you here?"As we turned around to face the unfamiliar woman, my senses were on high alert. It was clear that she was a werewolf, and her presence added another layer of complexity to o

Emilia’s POVI raised an eyebrow, my curiosity piqued. "Passing through, huh? This is the heart of Shadow City's territory, you know."The one on the right nodded, a hint of a smile playing at the corner of his lips. "Yeah, we got a bit lost."I let out a chuckle, my eyes gleaming with a mixture of amusement and skepticism. "Lost? In these woods?"Their responses were lighthearted, but there was an undercurrent of something else that I couldn't quite pinpoint. Their presence here was odd, and my instincts were telling me that there was more to the story than they were letting on.I crossed my arms, leaning against a tree as I studied them both. "So, what brings you handsome strangers to our territory?"The one on the left exchanged a quick glance with his twin before responding. "We're residents of Shadow City."I arched an eyebrow, my amusement growing. "Residents? And yet, I've never seen you before."Their expressions remained guarded, and I couldn't shake the feeling that they wer

Alexander’s POVAs I sat in my study, reviewing some reports and plans for the Shadow City, Ethan's entrance caught my attention. His demeanor was composed but there was a hint of urgency in his expression. I leaned back in my chair, giving him my full attention."Ethan, what's the matter?" My voice was calm yet expectant.He cleared his throat, his gaze meeting mine. "Emilia has returned to Shadow City, and she's brought two men with her."I raised an eyebrow, curiosity piqued. Emilia was known for her spontaneity, but this seemed out of character even for her. "Two men? What's her explanation for their presence?"Ethan's lips quirked into a half-smile. "She claims they're new residents of Shadow City."I leaned forward, my interest growing. New residents were a rarity, especially ones that Emilia would willingly vouch for. "New residents, you say?"He nodded, his expression holding a mixture of amusement and skepticism. "Yes, it seems so."A smirk tugged at the corner of my lips. "E

Alexander’s POV A triumphant glint lit up Emilia's eyes, and she reached into her pocket, producing a small recording device. With a flourish, she held it up, her tone confident. "I've managed to gather some information about the Rogues." The mention of the Rogues had everyone's attention, and my grandfather leaned forward with curiosity. "Well done, Emilia. You've certainly earned your reward." Emilia's smile turned sly as she looked directly at me. "Ah, about that reward. How about you finally fulfill your promise and use a hotel as compensation?" My lips thinned in reluctant agreement. The promise she was referring to had been a playful bet made weeks ago, involving a unique form of compensation. My gaze shifted to my grandfather, who chuckled heartily at Emilia's audacity. Sophia's laughter joined in, her amusement evident. "Well, Emilia," my grandfather chortled, "I must say, you certainly have a way of keeping things interesting." Emilia's smirk only grew, a glimmer of misc
