Kade stared, utterly speechless, at the two pairs of eyes fixed on him–eyes belonging to his small uncle Victor and to Lana, Freya’s closest friend.

“Did you sleep with her?” Victor’s voice cut through the silence, cold as a winter gale rolling down from the northern ridges.

“Where the hell did you spend the night?” Lana pressed, her tone sharp, as though she had every right to interrogate him.

Kade’s jaw tightened. “Moon–damned hells… I must have done something truly vile in a past life to deserve knowing the both of you.” His voice dripped with exasperation. “You’re lucky you’re my uncle, Victor. And you, Lana–you’re under Freya’s protection. If either of you were anyone else, I’d have already put you flat on your back for barking at me like that.”

Victor’s expression darkened, but Kade wasn’t finished. “And you, Lana–seriously? You’ve got some nerve asking me where I slept. You’re the one who dragged my sorry drunk ass back here last night. I was barely conscious. You think I’d remember which gods–forsaken corner of the room you dumped me in?” He nearly spat the words, biting down just in time to stop a string of curses from tearing free.

Victor’s sharp eyes swung toward Lana, pinning her like a wolf pup caught sneaking meat from the Alpha’s kill. “You drove him back?” His voice was low, dangerous.

“N–no. I called a driver,” Lana blurted out quickly. Even as she spoke, she couldn’t help the flush creeping up her neck. Moon above, why did she suddenly feel like she was back in school, caught lying to a stern tutor? Victor Ashford’s scrutiny had a way of stripping people bare.

Victor’s gaze narrowed further. “So. Where exactly did you leave him?”

Lana froze. Her throat locked. She darted her gaze back toward Kade, silently begging him to save her.

Kade wanted nothing more than to toss her straight out the nearest window. Before he could decide, Victor stepped forward, shrugging off his tailored jacket with deliberate calm. He rolled up his sleeves, exposing corded muscle that seemed almost at odds with his refined

exterior.

Lana blinked, startled. Was he actually planning to fight Kade? She’d seen Kade brawl before- he was infamous across his Pack for it, his fists as quick as his wolf. Victor, though… he looked every inch the polished gentleman Alpha. Surely, in a fight, he’d stand no chance.

“Stop!” Lana rushed between them, her voice rising. “Victor, even if Kade and I did end the same bed–so what? We’re both adults, not breaking any laws, not dishonoring any packs. Why are you pressing us like this?”

Victor’s face went darker still, his lips thinning to a razor’s edge. His eyes glittered with the kind of fury that came from somewhere deep, old. “So it’s true? You’ve set your sights on him?”

turned toward the door. Over his shoulder, he spoke to Kade, “Don’t drink yourself insensate again. The next time you do, you may not wake up with your wolf intact. And the one who’ll regret it won’t just be you.”

Kade gave a lazy shrug, trying to mask the unease curling in his gut. “Yeah, yeah. Got it.” He watched as Victor led Lana out of his apartment, finally releasing a long breath.

The tension drained from the room like smoke after a fire. If Victor had stayed a moment longer, Kade was half certain the whole place would’ve been torn apart.

Yet the unease lingered. He frowned, leaning back against the wall. The way Victor had looked at Lana—sharp, possessive, almost desperate. Could it be true? That his uncle had never truly let her go?

And if Victor was still bound by something as reckless as desire… then Lana might find herself marked by more than old affections. In their world, when an Alpha refused to let go, the story never ended cleanly.
