Third\u2013person POV:<\/p>\n
The call trilled.<\/p>\n
No one picked up on the other end.<\/p>\n
Luis\u2019s brows drew tighter; he dialed again.<\/p>\n
It was still the same cold, empty hum of the line.<\/p>\n

This estate sat halfway up the hill\u2013there was no way Deanna could have left on her own.<\/p>\n
Her phone couldn\u2019t have failed to hear him.<\/p>\n
She wasn\u2019t here, and the call didn\u2019t go through\u2013had something\u2026 happened?<\/p>\n
At the thought, Luis\u2019s eyes went abruptly cold.<\/p>\n
The knuckles around his phone stood out as he ground out to the two Bluestone brothers, voice like ice, \u201cSend your servants\u2013everyone\u2013go find her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gerald thought Alpha Luis was simply looking for someone.<\/p>\n
With a polite smile, he said, \u201cMr. Eaton, Ms. Wiley is probably just chatting with friends. When women get talking happily, they forget men\u2013my mate does that all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis lifted his gaze; one glacial look swept over, frost condensing in those eyes.<\/p>\n
In an instant, the air seemed to solidify; the pressure of a pure\u2013blood Alpha burst forth.<\/p>\n
Harrison and Gerald felt a chill from head to toe and had to fight the urge to bow.<\/p>\n
How had the man talking just fine a moment ago turned into someone who looked ready to kill\u2026<\/p>\n
Harrison snapped out of it and hurriedly summoned the butler.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaynard, take people and find out where Ms. Wiley is\u2013now.\u201d<\/p>\n
The butler accepted the order.<\/p>\n
He immediately led five or six servants to search the banquet halls, up and down.<\/p>\n

Gerald tried to say something to ease the mood.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Eaton<\/p>\n
\u2026 don\u2019t worry. Tonight\u2019s birthday gala has four salons\u2013front, rear, left, and right. Ms. Wiley may be in one of them, enjoying herself?\u201d<\/p>\n
He looked up\u2013only to meet Luis\u2019s gaze again, devoid of warmth and piercing as a blade.<\/p>\n
He shook all over, his breath catching; he didn\u2019t dare add another word.<\/p>\n
After a while, the butler returned from a sweep of the halls, head lowered, reporting truthfully,<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Barkley, we did not see Ms. Wiley in any of the front, rear, left, or right salons.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHeh.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis\u2019s lids lifted with a frigid flick; his face was thunderous as he let the glass in his hand fall.<\/p>\n
A sharp crack echoed across the hall.<\/p>\n
Crystal shattered across the floor.<\/p>\n
Under the blaze of the chandeliers, the splash of liquor shimmered with a strange light, chilling as if it were cold blood.<\/p>\n
Guests around them startled at the force of that chill; the Omegas hunched their shoulders in fright, and the other betas all dropped their gazes.<\/p>\n
Luis\u2019s mouth curved, an eerie arc at the corner. \u201cA living person vanishes under your roof?\u201d<\/p>\n
The threads of cold in his voice made the scalp prickle.<\/p>\n
Harrison and Gerald were sweating icy rivulets.<\/p>\n
If they didn\u2019t find the Alpha\u2019s fianc\u00e9e tonight, forget the North District contract\u2013Bluestone Pack itself might be in grave trouble!<\/p>\n
Harrison spun and roared at the butler, \u201cDid you actually search carefully?\u201d<\/p>\n
The butler\u2019s legs were shaking under Luis\u2019s aura; he stammered, \u201cWe\u2013we searched the salons. Upstairs\u2026 the young masters\u2018 and young ladies\u2018 rooms \u2026 not yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis\u2019s patience snapped; he raised his phone and placed a call.<\/p>\n
Very soon.<\/p>\n

At the doors, Beta Aaron swept in with dozens of well\u2013drilled, broad\u2013shouldered wolf guards.<\/p>\n
The lilting piano broke off mid\u2013phrase.<\/p>\n
The swaying bodies on the dance floor, the floodlit gala hall\u2013froze as if someone had hit<\/p>\n
pause.<\/p>\n
In moments, the front, rear, left, and right salons on the first floor were ringed by wolf guards.<\/p>\n
A weighty, suffocating tension flooded the entire level.<\/p>\n
