-Grayson'’s POV-
The evening air was cool as | made my way to the car, my mind running through every detail of Carter's task.
Lutherv feel it, every inch of his empire starting to crumble piece by piece. He'd regret every smug word, every
look.

Climbing into the driver's seat, 1 started the engine, the low hum of the car filling the silence. My hands gripped
the steering wheel tightly, the beast insidesimmering just beneath the surface. | was looking forward to this.
| was going to enjoy watching him suffer.
Just like how anyone who dared crosssuffered.
1 pulled out of the parking garage, driving through the city streets. The speedometer climbed as | pressed down
on the accelerator, the engine growling beneath me. The city lights blurred past, but my mind wasn’t focused on
the road. All | could think about was how perfectly this was going to play out then my thoughts without control
shifted to the woman who had his blood flowing through her veins.
| pushed them away as quickly as they cand just as | was about to slow down, something felt... off. My foot
pressed on the brake, but nothing happened.
| frowned, pressing down harder. Still nothing.
The car kept moving, faster now, as | slammed my foot down on the pedal again. | yanked at the steering wheel,
trying to get the car to slow on its own, but the speed kept increasing
-Shit
The brakes weren't working.
| could feel my wolf stir, sensing the danger, but | forced myself to stay calm, gripping the wheel tighter. There
had to be a way out of this.
The road ahead curved, and | tried to take it as smoothly as | could, but the car lurched, tires screeching as |
swerved, barely avoiding the guardrail. My heart pounded in my chest, but | wasn’t scared. No, fear didn’t belong
to me. | wasn't built for
that
I was built for control
| tried the brakes again. Nothing. The car sped forward, the scenery a blur aroundas the city lights grew
further away.
“Con!” | growled, slamming my foot down one last time. Nothing but dead air.
This wasn’t an accident. It couldn't be.

Someone had done this.
Luther
The thought hitlike a freight train. This was no coincidence He must've had something to do with it. That
must have been one of the reasons he cinto the company today.
| didn’t think he fought this low.
| yanked the wheel hard, the car veering violently to the side. | couldn't control the speed, but I could at least try
to direct the impact. The sound of tires screeching filled the air again as parrowly missed a streetlight.
The wall was coming up fast.

The world seemed to slow down, the wall rushing toward me, but | wasn’t afraid. If this was his move, then I'd
meet it head- on. My wolf roared, sensing the danger and instead of pulling back, he pushed forward.
Everything blurred together-the road, the lights, the wall. My hands tightened on the steering wheel, and just
before impact, | felt the shift.
My wolf surged forward, taking control, its power flooding through my veins.
The last thing | saw was the wall, just inches away, before everything went black.
The darkness was absolute. There was no pain, no sound. Just silence
1 floated there for what felt like hours, maybe even days, But slowly, consciousness started to creep back in,
piece by piece.
The first thing | becaware of was the taste of blood in my mouth. It was faint, metallic. Then cthe
throbbing in my head, sharp and persistent followed by the distant hum of voices then again maybe it was just in
my head.
| tried to move, but my body felt heavy, like | was trapped under a weight | couldn't lift.
| forced my eyes open, blinking against the harsh light. My vision swam, everything blurry and disjointed. | was
lying on my back, the world tilted at a strange angle. Slowly, the fog in my mind began to clear, and the
memories rushed back.
The brakes. The crash.
With a groan. | tried to sit up, every muscle in my body protesting. My head was pounding, and my vision was
still unfocused. But | forced myself to push through it.
The car where was the cur?
| glanced around, my surroundings starting to clear. The weight on my legs becmore apparent. Chained. My
legs were chained to the ground, roughly secured. The dim light was coming from the only open window in what
looked like an old cabin, and the voices outside were becoming clearer.
| reached for my wolf immediately, but all | got was a faint growl in response. Weak. So weak. It only meant one
thing: wolfsbane. Enough to kill me, maybe. But my wolf was powerful, stronger than they had expected. | was
walking a delicate line between life and death.
Just then, the door creaked open. A man stepped inside, pausing when he sawsitting there, watching him.
Another man with a scar running across his face followed behind him, speaking first, “He’s alive.”
The first man turned to him with a glare. “I can see that. I'm not blind.” Then his gaze shifted back to me, a cruel
smile spreading across his face. “You're even stronger than the rumors huh? | injected you with enough
wolfsbane to kill you
| said nothing. I just stared, calculating. | was already thinking of all the ways | could make their deaths slow and
excruciating.
There would be no mercy for these fools.
The taller man stepped closer. Are you not going to say anything? Beg for your life, maybe? Who knows, we
might show you smercy. 1is mocking tone was almost laughable.
| didn’t react. | continued to watch him, my mind spinning through options, strategies, ways out of this. The one
with the scar shifted uneasily beside him. “Dominic, let's just finish the job. Aggravating him is a bad idea.”
Dominic. Good.

Dominic snapped at him, “Are you stupid? Why the hell would you say my name?” Then he took a breath,
regaining that cruel smirk before looking back at me. “Doesn't matter, he’s not walking out of here alive. Hand

The scarred man scrambled over to the corner and cback with a small box. Dominic opened it, pulling out a
syringe with a metallic case. He stepped up toand jammed the needle into my arm, injecting the fluid
without hesitation.
My wolf growled weakly in pain, but I didn’t flinch.
Didn't speak
Didn't move.

Dominic's smile widened. “Even in the face of death, you still act high and mighty. I'm going to enjoy this.” He
backed away slowly, clearly satisfied with himself, while the scarred man watchedwith something close to
fear.
They turned to leave, and that’s when | finally spoke.
“I hope the pay is worth your deaths.”
Dominic stopped in his tracks, then laughed, turning halfway. “Oh, look. The almighty Alpha King finally speaks.
And what? You're going to kill us?” He sneered. “How! Better yet, how do you think you're going to survive?”
“Dominic, stop. Let's go,” the scarred man said, his voice shaky. “He'll be dead soon. We need to get our money
and leave town before anyone connects us to this.”
| let a small smile tug at the corner of my lips. “You should listen to your friend. He seems to have more sense
than you. But since I'm going to die anyway, why don’t you tellwho sent you? Was it Luther Pierce!”
Dominic's face contorted in anger. “Who the hell is that?” he spat, the venom in his voice revealing more than he
realized.
Interesting. | was good at reading people, and that quick, angry reply toldLuther wasn’t behind this. Or if he
was, he didn’t deal directly with low-level thugs like Dominic.
I sighed inwardly. I'd let my guard down, let cracks form, and now whoever this enemy was thought they could
just kidnap and kill me. They underestimated me, and that would be their downfall.

“Don’t say my name, you bastard!” Dominic snapped, his fury bubbling over. “I should have cut the brakes on
your car and planted explosives before injecting your monstrous ass with wolfsbane!”
And there it was. This was more than a job to him. He had a personal vendetta againstand that was all |
needed.

“It's not enough,” Dominic growled. “Burn the whole cabin to the ground.”
That was the last coherent words that registered.
