Davian.
The door burst open with force.
The sound alone was enough to snap whatever fragile silence remained in the room.
"Alpha!" one of the guards shouted, slightly out of breath as he rushed in. "Something… something just happened!"
My head snapped toward him immediately, his expression darkening. "What exactly happened?" I demanded, his voice sharp and commanding.
Aidan and Damien were already on their feet, their attention fully locked on the trembling guard.
"What is it?" Damien pressed impatiently. "Speak!"
The guard swallowed hard, clearly struggling to steady himself. "Alpha Adrien…" he began, hesitating for just a second.
My brothers stiffened.
"What about him?" Aidan snapped.
The guard lowered his head slightly. "He's missing."
Everyone went still, as silence engulfed us.
"Missing?" I repeated slowly, my eyes narrowing dangerously. "Explain yourself."
"That's not possible," Damien cut in immediately. "He was chained. Poisoned. He could barely control himself."
