Nathan's POV
"We've searched the records of three countries, Alpha… and none of them match the Oscar we're looking for." Leo, my Beta and closest friend, delivered the words carefully, but they still hit me like a blade to the chest.
My jaw tightened. My frown deepened. "Then keep searching," I snapped, my voice low and sharp. "I don't care how long it takes. I don't care how far. Keep searching until you find him."
Leo bowed his head quickly. "Yes, Alpha." He hesitated then, shifting his weight before speaking again. "But… about the meeting in France. Are you still attending?"
The mention of it made my temples throb. My hand lifted, fingers pressing hard against my forehead. Work. Business. Alliances. All of it meant nothing to me right now. Not when Hailee was out there, alive. Not when I could still hear her voice every time I closed my eyes.
