KESTER.

The room was dim and too damn quiet for how loud everything inside me was screaming. ulli/li/ul

I sat slouched on the edge of the couch in the center of my pack house, elbows on my knees, head downb, /ba full bottle bof /bwhiskey in one hand and my phone in the other. I didn’t even remember what time it was. Morning? Nightb? /bbI /bdidn’t bcare/bb. /b

The carpet under my boots was soaked from earlier when the first bottle slipped out of my hand and shattered.

Non was upstairs. The doctor said he needed rest, but I knew he wasn’t sleeping. How could he when I hadn’t closed my eyes in two fucking days?

Non had decided toe with me to the pack house. He said I needed to be looked after. As if I was a babyb. /bOr as bif /bbhe /b

could stop the killing spree that was already taking root in my head.

–

Why not? When the only person who was my bnce, my sanity, and my blood was still nowhere to be found until bnow/bbi? /i/bbI /bdon’t give a fuck what the world thinks about matesb, /bbut that woman b– /bmy woman was the only thing keeping me from bing something the gods couldn’t fix. But now, even the gods won’t be able to fix the damage that was about to befall

Kex, Wes, and Nagel.

I could feel myself unraveling.

My hair was a mess. My shirt was wrinkled and stuck to me with sweat. I hadn’t showered or eatenb. /bI didn’t want to. I

couldn’t taste anything but metal and fury. My wolf was pacing inside me like ba /bcaged beastb, /bready to tear out of my skinb. /b

I dialed the number again.

The same number I’d called thirteen times in thest hour.

It rang and rang without a responseb. /bBut finally, someone deemed it fit to answer.

“Hello?” a clipped voice answered.

I shot up from the couch, the whiskey bottle nearly slipping out of my hand. “What the fuck took you so long to pick up?”

There was silence on the other end for a beat too long.

Thenb, /bthe bvoice /breturned, ‘We’ve bassessed /bthe situationb, /bAlpha Kester. Nagel Vale operates under a level bof /bstealth and protection we currently do not have the capacity to…”

Every joint in my body cracked from how fense I was.

“You fucking coward!” I roared, pacing across the room, rage spiking through my blood like fire. “You’re telling me that, your overpaid dicks–with–badges don’t have what it takes to capture one man? One piece of shit who’s out there torturing my Luna bas /bbwe /bspeakb?!/bb” /b

The idiot tried to backtrack. “Alpha, you have to understand… he’s off–grid, heavily protected, and…”

“You scared of Nagel?” bI /basked, yoice dropping to something colder. “You should bbe/bb. /bBut not more than you should bbe /bscared of me. Because bas /bsoon as this is all over, your agency will go extinct. I promise you thatb./bb” /b

bI /bhung up before 1 ripped the phone in two.

The bwhiskey /bbottle slipped from my hand. The amber liquid spilled like blood across the floor, seeping into the broken screen of my phone.

bI /bdropped to my knees in it.

bMy /bhands shook as I gripped my hair, tugging hard. My forehead pressed against the floor, and I finally let out ba /bbguttural /bscream that tore straight from my chest.

This was the ninth agency I’ve had to call to look for Kasmine, but they were all weak dicks who were totally bscared /bof bthe /bname Nagel. What the fuck?

And me, with all my own resources, I wasn’t doing to Kasmine right now.

do much. I was going crazy imagining ball /bthe things Nagel bcould /bbbe /b

Fuck.

Nonb, /bwho just got discharged from the hospitalst night, couldn’t do much either. Besides, he bwasn’t /bgood at “btracking/bb” /bpeople. He was a master at digging out the most buried secret of anybody on this.

“Kesterb…/b” Non’s voice drifted faintly from the top of the stairs.
