Damien’s POV
| took the long route to my office.
Past the conference rooms. Through the executive lounge. Down the hallway that added an extra three minutes
to my commute but
keptfar away from Emma’s desk.
Pathetic.
But | couldn't face her. Not after last night. Not after the things she’d said.
My office door closed behindwith a soft click. Finally. Alone.
| dropped into my chair and stared at the mountain of paperwork waiting for me. Contracts. Budget reports.
Territory disputes.
None of it mattered.
| rubbed my temples, a headache already forming behind my eyes.
*She deserved it,* Alex growled in my head. *She insulted our mate.*
A knock on the door madelook up.
“Cin.”
The door opened, and Lucas stuck his head in. “You got a minute?”
Relief flooded through me. “Yeah. Cin.”
He stepped inside, closing the door behind him. His expression was serious. Business mode.
“What's wrong?” | asked.
“Nothing’s wrong. Actually, we might have caught a break.” He moved to my desk, pulling out his phone. “Got
sintel this morning.
About Voss and Valerie.”
Every muscle in my body went rigid. “What kind of intel?”
“Activity. Recent activity. They're moving around. Getting visible again.”
| was on my feet before I'd consciously decided to stand. “Where?”
“Eastern territories. Near the border.” Lucas swiped through his phone, pulling up a map. “We've had scouts
tracking unusual movement for weeks. Yesterday, one of them spotted what looks like a recruitment operation.”
“Recruitment?
“They're rebuilding. Gathering new rogues. Sof them are coming from deep in human territory.”

the open?
“How many?” My voice cout low. Dangerous.
“Unknown. But enough to be concerning.” Lucas set his phone on my desk, “They're being smart about it. Small
groups. Quick meetings.
Nothing that would draw too much attention.”
“But our scouts noticed.”
“One of them got lucky. Recognized Valerie's scent.” Lucas’s expression darkened. “She was at a meeting point
two nights ago. Talking to
a group of strays.”
Valerie. That traitorous bitch who’d helped torture my mate. The rage hitlike a physical force. My vision went
red around the edges.
My claws extended, digging into my palms.
“Where?” The word cout as a growl. “Where exactly?”
“Damien.” Lucas’s voice cut through the fury. “Before you go charging in there, we need a plan.”
“I don’t care how dangerous they are.”
“I know you don’t. But your pack does.” He leaned forward, his expression intense. “We can’t afford to lose
wolves on a revenge mission.
We need to be smart about this.”
Smart. Right. Be smart when all | wanted was to rip Valerie's throat out with my bare hands.
| forced myself to breathe. To think. To be the Alpha my pack needed instead of the enraged mate | actually was.
“What do you suggest?” | asked.
“Surveillance first. Track their movements. Figure out their numbers, their strengths, their weak points.” Lucas
pulled up another screen
on his phone. “Then we hit them when they're vulnerable.”
“How long?”
“Two weeks. Maybe three.”
“Too long.”
“Damien-"
“One week.” My voice was final. “One week of surveillance. Then we move.”
Lucas studied my face for a long moment. Then he nodded. “One week. I'll coordinate with the scouts.”
He turned to leave, then stopped. “There's something else.”
“What?”
“These rogues they're recruiting? A

Something cold settled in my stomach. “And?”
“And I'm thinking... maybe we should be recruiting from there too.”
| stared at him. “You want to recruit underground fighters?”
“Why not? Voss is doing it. And think
about it—these wolves are tough.

“They're also unstable. Dangerous. Impossible to control.”
“So are rogues. But we're not trying to make them pack members. We're trying to use them as weapons.”
The word hung in the air. Weapons.
