Chapter 4

**Chapter 4****Nathan’s POV**The lingering scent of Aria enveloped the room, a ghostly reminder of her presence, even as my men returned to the bedroom. I stood by the window, eyes fixed on the inky darkness that stretched beyond the glass, my wolf stirring restlessly beneath my skin, a primal energy demanding to be unleashed.“Sir,” one of the guards spoke, his voice laced with apprehension. “We’ve combed through the entire villa and scrutinized the security footage. There’s no sign of Luna Aria. However, we did come across something.”He extended a tablet towards me, and my gaze fell upon a grainy video clip flickering to life on the screen. It showed movement near Aria’s bedroom—an unfamiliar woman, one of the housekeepers, flitting about with an air of secrecy.I clenched my jaw, feeling a surge of frustration as the guard continued, “We’ve detained the woman captured in the footage. Her name is Sandra Keith. Here’s her background.”He handed me a file, and I felt the weight of it in my palm. Sandra. She was the elderly maid who had devoted years to this household—loyal, unobtrusive, and seemingly harmless.
