Freya shook her head against him, her voice muffled. “It wasn’t like that. I went to the military compound today… I managed to recover the drone my brother Eric used before he disappeared. There were files left on the SD storage. Video. His voice.”

Silas’s body went rigid. His arms tightened around her as if he could shield her from the ache of memory. “And?” he pressed, his tone low, dangerous. “Was there a clue?”

Her eyes dimmed, shadowed with grief. “It confirmed what the generals suspect. Eric’s disappearance is tied to the great border fire. The Iron Fang Recon Unit never returned. The officials lean toward declaring him fallen…” Her voice cracked.

“No.” Silas’s growl thundered through the room, his eyes flashing. “Your brother is not dead.”

Silas’s jaw clenched, his wolf aura bristling. “I believe in him. He’s your brother, Freya. A wolf like that doesn’t vanish into ashes. He’s alive. Somewhere out there, he’s fighting to return.”

The words struck deep. A fragile spark flickered to life in Freya’s chest. She wanted to believe. Needed to believe. “Yes… he has to be alive,” she whispered.

Silas’s lips pressed thin, his expression shifting. “I had my people investigate Aurora and the co–pilot, James. What I uncovered…” He reached for the documents he had set down earlier and handed them to her. “I think you should see this.”

Freya’s fingers tightened around the papers. Silas’s voice lowered as he explained. “Five years ago, Aurora smoked. Not heavily, but enough–especially during missions or when stress. pressed her. She was seen at gatherings, sometimes outside a bar in Deepmoor City, cigarette in hand. But after the border fire, she stopped. Completely. Not one wolf has seen her touch a cigarette since.”

Freya’s brows furrowed as she scanned the notes. The implications settled over her like frost.

Silas went on, his tone sharp. “The mission Aurora flew was no small thing. The Bluemoon Airborne Wing was ordered to reach the border and pull trapped civilians back into pack lands. The chaos at the frontier made it dangerous–wolves died on those runs. Witnesses in Deepmoor said she was trembling, caught in the pressure. That’s when they saw her smoking, before she boarded the flight with James.”

Each detail wove into a larger net, drawing lines toward Aurora. Freya lowered her gaze to the evidence, her heartbeat quickening.

“I need to repair one of the corrupted videos from Eric’s drone,” she said quietly. “Silas, the Whitmor family vault has advanced tech. Precision computers. Restoration hardware. Let me use them.”

“Freya.” Silas’s hand cupped her face, thumb brushing across her cheek. His eyes burned into hers, an Alpha’s vow behind them. “Anything that’s mine is yours. You never have to ask.”

Her chest tightened. Warmth filled her, pushing back the shadows. “Thank you,” she murmured.

He leaned closer, voice dropping into a near–growl. “Don’t thank me. You don’t owe me

The woman tipped her glass, coaxing another laugh from him. “Lee, you’re generous tonight. Celebrating something?”

He didn’t look at her, his voice a cool slice of steel. “You’ll get what I promised. Count on it.”

She smirked and vanished into the night.

Later, in a quiet meeting room, Lana frowned as Kade relayed what he’d overheard.

“So, Lee threatened Aurora. And the woman he spoke of–the one pretending to be the rescuer -he meant Aurora too?”

Kade’s expression was unreadable. “That’s what it sounded like.”
