Alpha Jacob’s POV
{The scene before the fight took place between Alpha Jacob and Alpha Grayson.}
The view from my office window revealed Grace, bidding her best friends a sorrowful goodbye. She didn’t say it out loud, but I could feel it—the weight of those farewells, the way she clung to her friends like they were the only family she had left. There was something haunting in her eyes, something hidden behind that mask of composure she wore all day. Even as she worked, her mind was elsewhere—distant, unreachable—and that cold, straight face fooled everyone except me.
I should have been focused on the mountain of tasks before me, yet my mind refused to settle. My eyes kept drifting toward Grace, watching her every move, every sigh, every flicker of emotion she tried so hard to suppress.
