Jayden's mind was a storm. The pieces he had been carefully collecting finally snapped together into a single, staggering possibility…his mysterious stalker, the shadow that had loomed over his life for years, could very well be Castor Lunaria.
The conclusion made sense… too much sense. Castor was Miss Kate's father. He was powerful, ancient, and most likely a werewolf of terrifying caliber. His status alone placed him among the rare few who could orchestrate something so intricate, so deliberate.
But what unsettled Jayden wasn't the logic… it was the contradiction.
Castor wasn't merely the ruler of Beta, he was also one of the founding members of the EVA. The man wasn't some aloof monarch hiding in his castle; he was part of the organization that supposedly safeguarded humanity across the five planets. He should have known everything… Jasmine's location, the movements of the beasts, even the tragedy that happened on the Oneiri Island seven years ago.
So why?
