Olivia's POV
With a racing heart, I climbed the back stairs that led to the rooftop. Every part of me screamed not to go. Even my wolf growled low, warning me to turn back—that something was off. That whatever waited ahead… might be dangerous.
But I ignored it.
Curiosity burned too deeply in me. What more could there possibly be? What else could hurt me that hasn't already?
When I pushed open the rooftop door and stepped out, the cold air hit me and I exhaled deeply. My eyes darted around the space, but the rooftop was empty. There was no one except me.
I exhaled slowly, tension still crawling up my spine. Maybe it was a trap. Maybe they changed their mind. Maybe—
But suddenly, I froze.
There.
She hadn't been there a second ago. I was sure of it. But suddenly, a woman stood at the edge of the rooftop.
It was like she had just… appeared.
One blink, and there she was, her long coat fluttering in the breeze. Her presence was chilling, as if the air itself bent around her.
