Draco’s POV When Marla asked to meet, I knew I had to go — fast. If I wanted the divorce to move quickly, I couldn’t let her bleed me dry. She already knew she was losing; she’d try to take as much as she could while she still could. She arrived on time, unannounced — still wielding the privileges of a wife. Polished, poised, and coldly beautiful, she sat across from me, legs crossed with practiced elegance. “Name your terms, Marla. Let’s get this over with,” I said, my voice flat. “Such a rush to make things official with your mistress,” she hissed. “Did you knock her up or something?” Her tone was venomous. Heat flared in me. My aura rose unforgiving. “She’s not a mistress,” I said through clenched teeth. “She’s the woman I love — the only one I want as Mrs. Thorne, the only one my pack will ever accept as Luna. Now name your terms. And know this: if you try to drag this out, I’ll expose everything — your dirty laundry will be public. I held back out of respect for your pa
Loriah’s POV After my father left, Draco followed soon after, leaving the house with tight security. Everyone else had gone earlier, so it was just my mother and me now — finally alone, with time to bond. “Luna Layla, I…” I began, but she reached for my hands, her eyes soft and pleading. “Please, call me Mom,” she whispered. “I always dreamed of hearing you say that. Every morning I’d wake and hope it was real — but it never was. Just another nightmare without you.” Her voice broke on the last words. “Mom,” I said. It came out naturally, from somewhere deep inside me. A tear slipped down her cheek, and she brushed it away quickly, but I caught her hand and cupped her face, my thumb tracing her skin. “I always wondered what my mom would look like,” I murmured. “I wondered if she loved me. I’m so glad it’s you.” She pulled me into her arms, and we stayed that way, clinging to each other as if time itself had stopped. Later, we sat in the living room, and she showed me ba
Magnus’s POV I spent the night with Layla at Draco’s place. Even now, it still felt unreal — my daughter was alive. The pride swelling in my chest was almost too much to contain, shared by the steady hum of my wolf beneath my skin. Layla was in the kitchen, humming softly as she flipped pancakes for our daughter. The scent of warm batter and honey filled the air. Watching her like that — lighthearted and radiant — made my heart ache with love. It had been far too long since I’d seen her truly happy. “These pancakes are so good,” Loriah said between bites, covering her mouth mid-chew. Layla laughed softly, eyes shining with maternal pride. My chest tightened — the sight of them together filled every space I hadn’t realized was still hollow. But then, guilt crept in — cold and sharp. Memories of how I’d treated her the last time we met resurfaced like a wound reopening. “Loriah,” I began carefully, setting down my cup. “About our last encounter…” “It’s okay, Alpha Magnus,”
Loriah’s PoV Sister Nora had me bathe in aromatic oils before painting ancient runes across my skin — on my arms, shoulders, and forehead. The scent of herbs and sandalwood filled the air, soothing and sacred. Still, my mind was a storm of thoughts. I could feel my father’s gaze on me even before I left the room earlier. He wanted to speak to me — I could sense it — but fear held him back. Maybe he was afraid I’d reject him. When I passed through the living room, my mother was with him. She sat close, their bodies touching, her hand resting over his heart. She filled his space so naturally — with tenderness and certainty. Draco and I were like that, too. Little by little, he had dismantled all my walls, replacing my doubts with something unshakable — love. Earlier, Leon mentioned that Marla’s lawyer had contacted him, demanding a larger settlement. Draco didn’t hesitate; he agreed, even though it meant giving her more shares. He only said one thing afterward — that every pen
Loriah’s POV We were at Draco’s house — our house, as he always corrected me — nestled deep in the forest. My friends were here too, even Greg. We’d had a lot of explaining to do. Surprisingly, he wasn’t as shocked as I expected. He already knew about the existence of werewolves; his family had once lived in a southern state where their presence was less… concealed. Claire already knew, of course — to my shock, she was one herself. Finding out she was Marcus’s fated mate had been another surprise altogether. Brea, however, was completely blindsided. She looked like she might faint when she learned she was one of us too. Sister Nora spoke privately with her and Leon afterward. They agreed she would soon go through an unbinding ceremony — to awaken the part of her that had been sealed away. “How are you feeling?” I asked Brea as she sat quietly in the garden. A half-empty cup of coffee rested beside her, long gone cold. She sighed, staring out at the trees. “I feel like I don
Marla’s POV My father was fuming — the kidnapping fiasco had undone everything. That bitch, Loriah, had more lives than a cat. “How is that even possible? She escaped? A mere human fooled all of you?!” I roared. He rose from his seat slamming his fists against the desk. “It was Alpha Caspian’s fault,” Ghost muttered nervously. “He tried to force himself on her, and she knocked him out. By the time we realized, she’d already run away.” My mother’s voice was sharp and cold. “What are we going to do now? He can’t divorce Marla — not before she’s secured all his inheritance.” Father’s expression darkened. “That’s another matter entirely. Magnus’s daughter isn’t dead.” My mother froze. “What are you talking about? I made sure that wretched creature was locked in the nursery when it burst into flames.” “She’s very much alive,” Father said, his tone low and ominous. “And you know her… It’s Elara Dane.” The glass of bourbon I’d just poured shattered in my hand, liquid and shard
