Dante POV

The door opened a second later, and the man stepped inside. A guard, standing ramrod straight, his face impassive as always. He didn't say a word.

"Enoch," my father said without even glancing at the man. "Send him. Now."

The guard nodded, expressionless, then stepped out the door.

I stood there, fuming. My mind is racing with questions and fury that I couldn't quite direct. My heart pounded in my chest. I wanted to scream, but I held my voice low instead. In check.

"Why?" I asked. "Why her? Why today? Why—the lie?

My dad finally shifted to look at me, and as he did, the ferocity of his stare was shackles around my body. He crossed his arms slowly, his eyes narrowing into a slit.

"I don't know what you're asking me for, Dante," he said, his tone softer than a whisper, but every syllable cutting deep. "But let me make one thing certain: if you're here to fight me, we're both wasting our time." His gaze locked onto mine, unblinking and unflinching. "Nothing will be decided in

    Liana's POVHer eyes widened. Barely. A flash of confusion."Lady Volmore," she said again, more slowly this time, as if maybe I'd hit my head or maybe she thought I needed reminding.As if I'd made this decision.As if I'd become this.No. I crawled back away from her on all fours, like an animal trapped in a cage. "Don't you say that. Don't you" I started laughing once more. That awful laugh. The one that made the guards tense and glance at each other like I was something to fear. Like I was going to develop horns and claws at any second."I'm not no, no, no-I didn't agree to this. I didn't agree to this!"I fought to rise, stumbling on shaky legs like a baby fawn on wheels."I don't know what sick cult this is or what kind of Stepford Bride mind control I was under, but it's shattered now, you hear me? I am awake."No one moved.The whisper woman recoiled, hands up. "Miss. Perhaps you should lie down. I can show you to your rooms""I'll burn down your rooms."She flinched.A whispe

    Liana's POVI feel my body move before I decide. My hands come up to his chest - light, hesitant - and I close in. Slowly. Softly. Instinctively.His lips are inches from mine.He doesn't move. Doesn't flicker an eyelid.But I do.I force my mouth onto his.It's not soft.It's not passionate.It's empty - a kiss with no heart.I don't know why I'm doing this. I just know I have to. Like something is tugging behind my ribcage. Like resisting would tear me in two.His breath catches. Barely.When I take a step back, something in his eyes has shifted. It's no longer cold. It's on fire.On fire with something that's dangerously close to hate.The claps crash over me like a wave I did not invite to drown me.I blink. Once. Twice. My lips. remain buzzing.What happened?I can still feel his mouth on mine. Warm. Insistent. Last. My stomach heaves so hard I'm sure I'll puke in front of all of these people. In front of the blinding lights, the throng of suited strangers, the wolves masqueradin

    The silence struck harder than a bullet.One thousand eyes looked at Liana as she moved down the aisle. Velvet carpet swallowed the whisper of her heels. Her gown shone like an illusion, a silk prison that sparkled under suspended chandeliers like moons in sorrow.Gasps spread through the crowd like music. Too tall. Too human. Too wrong.Lady Virello's fan slipped from her fingers. Smooth wood struck marble with a sudden, ringing crash. Her husband, Lord Virello, leaned forward in his chair, nostrils flaring, lips trembling with strained indignation."That is not Stella," he breathed into the air.At the back of the altar, Dante's jaw hardened. A muscle twitched in his cheek. His wolf stirred under his skin, a slow, growling roll of confusion and instinct. That wasn't her. That wasn't Stella. That was a human. A stranger.Then, it arrived. Like wind seeping through bone."Control yourself," his father's voice crept through the bond, not words precisely. Something older, wilder. A comm

    Liana's POV Nobody answered.They simply smiled, like they'd heard it all already. Like they already knew something about me."Come, Madam," the tallest one instructed, gesturing for me to follow. "For now you will take some rest."I followed him. Not because I believed him. Trust had packed its bags and departed hours earlier. I followed because the corridor stretched out before me like a condemnation, and I had nowhere else to turn.He stopped in front of a door that was too high, too lavish, as if it would engulf lesser people whole. Wood that glimmered like a mirror. Gold filigree that talked of nobility and other people's money.He opened it in a ceremony. "Please go to your room, Madam."My room?He went away without looking over his shoulder, and the door clicked behind me with a kind of finality that made the walls vibrate.I went in.The air was perfumed with money and secrets. Fresh, crisp, and icy. The carpet swallowed my footfalls as if I had no right to leave a mark. The
