I had just closed the last folder when the door to my study swung open without so much as a knock.
Alan entered first, his steps fast and heavy. Cassian followed, his face rigid, the urgency in his eyes completely undisguised. The scent of anxiety—and panic—seemed to pour into the room with them.
“This can’t continue,” Alan said bluntly. “The entire Pack has started talking.”
I didn’t look up. “If this is about Lyra, I’ve already said—”
“That’s exactly why!” Cassian cut in. “Her pregnancy isn’t a small matter, Alaric. She’s the Luna of SilverFang. If you stay silent, people will start asking questions. And questions always lead to division.”
I closed the folder slowly. Deliberately. Giving them time to understand that I wasn’t rushed—and I wasn’t being pressured.
“What you call division,” I said calmly, “is often just the consequence of a lie that’s been allowed to linger too long.”
Alan’s jaw tighte

Alpha Daddy, Mommy Doesn't Want You Anymore [113]
Cassandra’s POVI welcomed him with a distance that was unmistakable.Not just physical distance—though that existed too—but a distance I had built deliberately, layer by layer, ever since his name reentered my life. Alaric stood in NightFang’s sitting room without the Alpha’s insignia, without escorts. He came alone. He didn’t carry the weight of authority that used to fill every space he entered.And precisely because of that, I was wary.I watched him from the far end of the room. The way he stood hadn’t changed—upright, controlled—but something was missing. The certainty that once made me feel small now seemed restrained or intentionally set aside. It unsettled me. Manipulation often arrives in its calmest form.“Please, sit,” I said, formal.He did.Orion wasn’t present in the room, but I knew he was close. Too close to be coincidence. NightF
Alpha Daddy, Mommy Doesn't Want You Anymore [112]
Alaric’s POVI arrived at NightFang without a single symbol to my name.No Alpha’s cloak. No escort. None of the insignia that usually sat on my shoulders and made people lower their gaze before I ever spoke. I came as nothing but myself—and that awareness made my steps heavier than usual.The gates of NightFang opened quietly. No elaborate welcome. No rejection, either. Somehow, that hurt more. As if this place didn’t need my presence, didn’t require my approval to stand firm and whole.Every step I took was an admission of weakness.This was Orion’s territory.And for the first time in a long while, I came without leverage.I stopped in the inner courtyard when I saw her.Iris.She sat on a wooden bench beneath an old tree, a book open on her lap. Her hair was neatly combed, her expression calm. There was no trace of a child recently released from a hospital. No ling

Cassandra’s POVThe request came far too suddenly.Ben delivered it with careful, almost measured politeness—as if he knew that one wrong word could make me shut the door completely. I listened without interrupting, then asked for time. Ben nodded, didn’t press, and left.I remained where I was, standing still a few seconds longer than necessary.“Aunt Cass?” Iris looked up from her coloring book. “What’s wrong?”I offered a small smile. “Nothing, sweetheart. Keep coloring.”She nodded obediently and returned to her world. That small, quiet peace warmed my chest—and precisely because of that, the alarm in my mind grew louder.Alaric wanted to meet. Privately. At NightFang. With Iris.Why?I stepped onto the small balcony on the east wing and drew in the cold air. My thoughts moved quickly, connecting points that had been pressing too close
Alpha Daddy, Mommy Doesn't Want You Anymore [110]
Alaric’s POVOn the first day I waited, I was still certain it was only a matter of time.Ben was probably arranging the schedule. Cassandra must have needed space. I gave her that—like I should have done long ago. By the second day, that certainty began to crack. By the third, I stopped counting hours and started counting mistakes.My study turned hostile again. Maps, files, and reports piled up, but my thoughts circled a single name. Cassandra. And another face I should have protected above all else—Iris.“No news?” I asked without looking up when Russel entered with a thick folder.“Not yet,” he replied carefully. “Ben said Miss Cassandra asked for time.”I gave a short nod. “Go on.”Russel opened the folder. “The old case… every trail leads back to Lyra. Witnesses were fabricated. Evidence twisted. Quiet payments routed through Vania. E

Lyra’s POVMy body feels foreign.Not the usual exhaustion, not dizziness that comes and goes. This is decay—slow, silent, inevitable. As if something inside me is being pulled in the opposite direction, forced to hold on when it should have already let go.I lie in the hospital bed beneath sheets that are too white. The smell of medicine clings to the air, sharp and invasive, keeping the nausea from ever fully fading. My hand trembles as I reach for the glass of water on the bedside table.“Don’t,” the old healer says quickly, stopping me. “Let the nurse help.”I click my tongue in irritation. “I’m not dying.”He studies me for a long moment—too long for someone who’s supposed to be neutral. “The potion you’ve been taking is only delaying the collapse, Lady Lyra.”My chest tightens. “What are you talking about?”
Alpha Daddy, Mommy Doesn't Want You Anymore [108]
PoV CassandraThe days at NightFang passed quietly—too quietly, if I was being honest with myself.Morning came without shouting. No hurried footsteps in the halls. No panicked whispers behind closed doors. Iris woke with a small smile, her hair slightly messy, her eyes clear. She no longer glanced at the door every few minutes as if waiting for someone to appear.“I want to study in the garden today,” she said while popping a piece of fruit into her mouth. “Alice said the weather’s nice.”I smiled. “Of course. Just don’t forget your hat.”She nodded obediently, then hopped down from her chair with an ease that felt new. Her movements were no longer hesitant. No longer as if her body was still borrowing strength from yesterday.The change was real.Iris was calmer. More confident. And—something I noticed with a faint sting of guilt—she no longe
