ALEXANDER
I had spent the entire day thinking about the attack on Faye.
No matter how many meetings I attended or how many reports I forced myself to read, my thoughts always found their way back to that stretch of road.
Every time.
The image of her walking into my office after the attack replayed in my mind over and over again.
She had insisted she was fine.
She had barely looked shaken.
But that wasn't the point.
Someone had laid an ambush for my mate inside Blood Crescent territory.
That alone was enough to make my blood boil.
The patrols I had dispatched returned one after another throughout the afternoon.
Every report they gave only confirmed what Faye had already told me.
There had been a disturbance.
Broken branches.
Fresh footprints.
Scattered blood.
The marks left
