The office air was dense, saturated with the smell of aged parchment and a tightly coiled dread. Caelan sat behind his desk, the very image of unassailable alpha authority, until a sharp rap fractured the quiet.

Caelan scarcely glanced up, ready to wave the intrusion away, when a familiar fragrance pierced the room—pungent, unmistakable, terrifying. He froze.

Caelan's reality warped, the carefully engineered facade of the invincible alpha splintering under the catastrophic weight of this impossible, ruinous coincidence.
