Jasmin's POV
I had been so careful when I fled. Every trace erased, every connection severed. Yet somehow, Max had tracked me down like a bloodhound following a scent trail.
"It was simple enough. I investigated Evan Clemens's background," he said, tilting his head with that infuriating smirk. "His records at the Academy were spotless, everything checked out perfectly. Except for one small detail."
My stomach clenched as I waited for him to continue.
"Evan Clemens had no sister. But he did have an aunt, his mother's twin. And that aunt had a daughter." His eyes gleamed with satisfaction. "The daughter of Alpha Reginald Shadowbane."
The air left my lungs in a sharp exhale. Evan. My sweet, loyal cousin had unknowingly led this predator straight to my door.
