A wave of fear washed over me. I took two steps back, my wolf retreating deeper within me.
“Afraid of me?” Frederick’s eyes held a playful glint, his wolf clearly enjoying the fear emanating from me.
I tried to calm myself, drawing on the composure I had learned in courtrooms. Frederick looked anything but menacing with his beautiful features inherited from his actress mother.
But I knew better. This was the man who had tried to kill me so many times.
I swallowed nervously. “You grabbing me is pointless. Connor and I are estranged. You can’t threaten him with me.”
Frederick stepped closer, his piercing eyes studying my face. “Whether it’s pointless or not, you’ll find out soon enough.”
He smiled, and the expression was more terrifying than any snarl. “Miss Winters is indeed a rare beauty. No wonder Connor and Ethan can’t forget you.”
I retreated again, surprise flickering in my amber eyes. “You know Ethan Grey?”
Frederick shrugged dismissively. “Just a dog I keep. Amusing to take out for a walk when I’m bored
The casual cruelty in his words made my stomach turn. I frowned, pieces of a puzzle clicking into place.
Ethan was working with Frederick. That explained the miraculous recovery of the near-bankrupt Grey pack, Ethan had sold his soul to this monster.
I was so lost in thought that I missed Frederick’s next words.
“I’m talking to you,” he said sharply, his patience clearly waning
I snapped back to attention, remembering his earlier threat about Connor. Anxiety clawed at my chest
“Have you already notified Connor?” I asked, unable to hide my worry.
Frederick tilted his head, studying my reaction with obvious amusement. “What? Worried about him?” He mocked me with false concern. “Didn’t you say you two were estranged? Why so concerned? Afraid he’ll come to his death?”
I forced myself to appear composed. “I just don’t want to be responsible for a life. Even if it wasn’t him, 1 wouldn’t want anyone risking themselves for me.”
Frederick laughed, the sound echoing off the concrete walls around us. “You think I believe that? You two really love acting.”
His expression turned predatory. “Put on a good show of affection for me, and I might consider giving Connor a complete corpse.
The threat hit me like a physical blow. Although Connor had hurt me, although I had decided to leave his world completely, I could not accept him coming here to die.
I only wanted Connor to be well, even if we never contacted each other again. But if he really lost his life to save me, then I would live in the shadows for the rest of my life.
(Third person’s POV)
The phone rang sharply in the Rivers Pack mansion, cutting through the tense silence that had settled over the household. William Rivers answered on the second ring, his volce carefully controlled.
“Richard,” he said, recognizing the caller immediately
“William, I need answers. Richard Winters’ voice was tight with barely contained fury. “My daughter has vanished. Her phone is disconnected. She was supposed to pick up a friend at the airport but never showed up.
William’s grip tightened on the phone. “Richard, calm down. What exactly happened?”
“Don’t tell me to calm down!” Richard’s voice exploded through the speaker. “Olivia is missing, and I have reason to believe this is connected to your pack’s illegitimate son.”
The words hit William like a physical blow. Frederick Warner. The name he had tried to bury for over twenty years.
“Frederick?” William’s voice came out as barely a whisper.
“Yes, Frederick Warner, Richard spat. “The bastard you refused to acknowledge. The one who’s been causing trouble for months.”
William felt the blood drain from his face. “Richard, you can’t be certain-“
“I’ve searched everywhere, Richard interrupted, his voice breaking slightly. “Natalie and I have called everyone. No one has seen her. And Connor Rivers seems completely indifferent to her disappearance.”
The accusation stung. William knew Connor was anything but indifferent, but the public facade had to be maintained.
‘I’ll contact Connor immediately,” William promised. “We’ll find her.”
“You better,” Richard’s voice turned deadly cold. “Because if Frederick Warner has taken my daughter, if this is connected to your family’s dirty secrets, I will sever our pack alliance permanently.”
The threat hung in the air like a blade. William closed his eyes, feeling the weight of decades of mistakes crushing down on him.
“Richard, please. Let me speak with Connor first. We’ll handle this.”
“You have twenty-four hours,” Richard said flatly. “After that, I’m calling in every favor I have. I don’t care what it costs your precious pack reputation.”
The line went dead. William stared at the phone, his hands trembling slightly.
Katherine Rivers looked up from her position on the sofa, her amber eyes filled with concern. She had heard every word of the heated conversation.
“William?” she said softly. “What’s happening with Olivia?”
Before William could answer, his phone rang again. Connor’s name flashed on the screen.
“Connor, William answered immediately.
“Father, Olivia’s been kidnapped.” Connor’s voice was strained, barely controlled. “Frederick hash
William’s worst fears were confirmed. “How do you know?”
“He called me. He wants to meet tomorrow morning at Shadowfall Ruins.” Connor’s voice cracked slightly to me.”
“He’s using her to get
“Connor, we need to call the authorities-“
“No!” Connor’s voice exploded through the phone. “Richard said they’ve already called the enforcers. You have to stop them!”
William’s face suddenly darkened. His knuckles turned white as he gripped the phone.
“What!” Connor’s fingers tightened around his phone on the other end. His voice came sharp through the pack bond. “You can’t call the enforcers. Frederick just contacted me. I was planning to come home and discuss countermeasures with you. If you rashly call the enforcers, Frederick can kill her at any time. Livvy’s life will be in danger!”
The desperation in his son’s voice cut through William like a silver blade. He had never heard Connor sound so broken, so terrified.
“I’ll handle Richard,” William said quickly. “Come home immediately. We need to plan this carefully.”
“I’m already on my way,” Connor replied. “Don’t let anyone else get involved. Frederick is unstable. One wrong move and…”
He couldn’t finish the sentence. The implications hung heavy between them.
Katherine moved closer to William, her face pale with worry. Through their mate bond, she pressed him for
Information.
*What’s happening with Olivia?” she asked silently.
William looked at his mate, seeing the genuine concern in her eyes. Despite their complicated relationship with the Winters family, Katherine had always been fond of Olivia.
