Then I grin.

The text is from Chase, who has been monitoring my mission but has allowed me the freedom and independence to run it my way.

Congratulations, little wolf! U did it. Lion says kick their asses. Pip wants 2 know when can he invite Immortal over 4 a coffee?

I laugh, stuffing the phone back into my pocket.

Typical Piper that he’s planning to be the one to court the superstar Beta and not the other way around.

But then, he has learned from me. Isn’t that what Cricket and I did with Jin?

It worked.

I hope that my brother does find his pack bonds soon. He’s lonely, even if he won’t admit it.

I glance back at the stage.

“Good luck!” I call.

Jin and Torin smile at me, and my heart leaps at the happiness that swells through the bond.

“I’m dedicating this song to both my Omegas again,” Jin declares. “This all started with you figuring out that you needed to save me. You’ve saved all of us.”

When the other Idols glance curiously at us, wave, or yell out choruses ofthanks, it’s not only Cricket who blushes.

I duck my head, but my smile widens.

I adjust the wolf clip in my hair, which Lion gave me. I love feeling that my friend is with me.

My pulse pounds, as Jin encourages the ranks of singers into place behind him.

They’re a sea of black on the simple stage.

Immortal and Jin swagger to flank him with their guitars strapped over their shoulders.

Immortal and Jin are going to duet together tonight.

It’ll be a world first.

We want as much media attention as possible on this event, and getting the two singers to duet, while one of the mysterious Idol siblings plays guitar, is our best shot.

Behind the scenes, the music industry is already in a frenzy.

Cricket fiddles with the controls, and the lights dim, leaving the singers alone lit by spotlights.

The background glitters brighter in the dark, as if the singers are trapped in chains.

This is it.

My mouth is dry. I struggle to swallow.

In the silence, I can only hear the thud of my heart.

Any minute…

The ranks of young Idols hold their positions like they are statues.

A door in the back of the auditorium bangs open.
