"Ryan!"I screamed, already choking on the rising panic in my chest."Ryan, where are you!?"

Killian was right beside me, shoving through the crowd."Move!Get out of the way!"he barked, his voice hoarse, shaking."Ryan!"

Kids kept coming out, some with staff, some alone, faces soaked with tears, but none of them were Ryan.None.

"Where is he!?"I cried, grabbing one of the instructors."Where the hell is my son!?"

"I-I don't know—" she stammered, trying to calm the others while glancing back inside.

Kids kept flooding out, sobbing and screaming, but still...no Ryan.

"I was watching him!"Killian snapped, spinning in circles as if trying to make sense of what was happening."He was just there.I saw him skating!I swear I fucking saw him—"

"Then where is he!?"I screamed back, my throat raw, vision blurred from tears."WHERE IS HE!?"

I couldn't breathe.

"RYaN!"I screamed louder, louder than I ever had in my life, my voice cracking like glass."BaBY, PLEASE!MOMMY'S HERE!"

Killian's hands were in his hair, his entire body was tense and twitching like he was two seconds away from losing control.

Because the crowd was clearing now, the room nearly empty, instructors doing headcounts, alarms still wailing in our ears, and still no sign of Ryan.

"False alarm!Everyone, it's okay!Someone must have accidentally triggered the alarm, it's a false alarm!Please remain calm!"one of the staffs said.

Parents started to breathe again.Some hugged their crying kids.Others just stood in shock.The chaos was slowly dying down.

But not for us.

Because even with the panic fading, even with the staff trying to reassure everyone that there was no fire...

There was still no sign of Ryan...

and that was when the fear truly set in.

That was when I realized something was wrong.

Really, really wrong...

CHAPTER 99

Liana's POV

Killian was already pulling out his phone before I could even catch my breath.His hands were shaking, but his voice was anything but."Lock down the entire park.Now.No one leaves until I find my son.No one.Do you hear me?I want every goddamn door shut now."

His teeth were clenched, his tone so deadly calm that I froze.I didn't even know who he was talking to, but before I could ask, I started hearing the heavy clangs of metal shutters and automatic doors locking in place.Loudspeaker announcements began instructing visitors to stay calm and remain in designated zones.The atmosphere shifted instantly, from chaos to eerie silence.It was as if the entire amusement park had transformed into a sealed fortress within seconds.

"What...what's happening?"I stammered, grabbing onto Killian's arm.

He was already moving, dialing again while walking toward the skating area."I know the owner," he said, not even looking at me."I built the damn place with him ten years ago.I funded half the goddamn park.That's how."

Security guards were showing up from every direction, dressed in black, armed with radios and earpieces, and moving with terrifying efficiency.They weren't confused or scrambling like the usual amusement park staff, they looked like professionals, trained and prepared.

They bowed to us.

Killian held up his phone up to the guards, "This is him.This is my son.Ryan Wolfe.I want him found.Now."He showed them a picture of Ryan, one he must've taken earlier during the family event.It was of Ryan sitting on my shoulders, his smile stretched wide, arms in the air like he was flying.

"Yes, alpha," they all echoed in unison, nodding quickly.
