The moment the plane took off, that father and son no longer existed in my world.

I watched the ground disappear beneath me and felt something lift from my chest that I hadn't even realized was there.

For the first time in over a year, I could breathe freely.

No more walking on eggshells. No more second-guessing every word. No more pretending that love could survive this level of betrayal.

They were my past now. Nothing more.

Meanwhile, hundreds of miles below, Kieran and Owen were carefully helping Sera walk through the healing center corridors.

She leaned heavily on Kieran's arm, playing up her injuries for maximum sympathy.

Sera covered her slap-marked cheek with delicate fingers and forced a trembling smile.

"Thank goodness I have you two with me. I really don't know what I would have done otherwise."

"You're both so kind to me, especially after what your mate did."

"I'm just a poor Omega with no family. You're all I have in this world."

Her voice was perfectly calibrated - vulnera

    I looked with complete indifference at the travel-worn father and son before me.They looked like they hadn't slept in weeks. Kieran's usually pristine Alpha appearance was gone - his clothes wrinkled, his hair disheveled, dark circles under his bloodshot eyes. Owen looked even worse, his small frame trembling as he stood behind his father."Aria..." Kieran's voice cracked as he spoke my name.I felt nothing. Not even a flicker of the love I once felt for him."What are you doing here?"Kieran's eyes immediately reddened as he tried to step closer. "Aria, I'm sorry. I know I did wrong. Please forgive me. You're my true mate. I've already given Sera the punishment she deserved. Now that you're back, please don't leave again."I could smell the desperation rolling off him in waves. His Alpha pheromones were all wrong - weak, pleading, broken."The punishment she deserved?" I laughed bitterly. "What about the punishment you deserve?"Owen suddenly lunged forward, trying to grab my hand. "

    Owen knelt beside his father and made the same praying gesture.His small hands clasped together as tears streamed down his soot-covered face.Mom.I don't want anyone else to be my mother anymore.I don't want any other family.Dad and I have already avenged all the wrongs you suffered.We burned the woman who hurt you, just like she burned Grandma.Please come back, okay?Owen misses you so much it hurts to breathe.But at that time, I was already far away in the Northern Snow Pack.I couldn't hear a single word of this father and son's desperate repentance.I was sitting in my cozy pastry shop, watching the falling snow through the window.The gentle white flakes reminded me to let go of the past and embrace the present.I told myself not to think about the old days anymore. I should start a new life here, for myself and for my mother's memory.I had used the precious gemstones I'd brought to buy this charming little shop in the heart of the pack territory. My days were simple but

    Owen's small face twisted with rage as he glared at Sera. His young voice carried a venom that chilled the air."If you hadn't repeatedly driven a wedge between me and my mother, how could she have left me!""Every single day you whispered poison in our ears! Every single day you made us doubt her!""I used to think you were kind and gentle, but you're nothing but a lying snake!"The father and son's attitude plummeted drastically.Gone was any trace of the protection and care they had once shown her. Their eyes held nothing but pure hatred and disgust.Sera burst into maniacal laughter, her eyes filled only with the madness of someone facing death.Her face was streaked with tears and blood, but she laughed as if she'd heard the funniest joke in the world."You father and son are truly ridiculous! If you hadn't stopped caring about her, how would I have had the chance to switch them out!""Don't you get it? I only succeeded because you were already failing her!""You want to blame me?

    "Forever?""Forever."Kieran closed his eyes in complete despair.He hadn't expected me to make such a decisive choice, though he should have.He wasn't afraid of me fighting or making a scene - he was afraid of me having no reaction at all.And that's exactly what was happening. I had moved beyond anger into cold indifference.Yes, he had killed my mother and desecrated her grave.He was truly the greatest villain in the world.The irony wasn't lost on him that Blue Note Bar was where he and I first met.Where he had fallen in love with my laugh, my kindness, my beautiful soul.So let it end where it all began.After a sleepless night spent staring at photos of happier times, red-eyed Kieran brought Owen to Blue Note Bar.They looked like survivors of some terrible disaster - hollow-eyed, broken, aged beyond their years.I was already sitting there waiting for them, and the sight of me nearly brought Kieran to his knees.I looked... different. Healthier. There was a glow about me that

    Kieran's hands trembled as he opened the memory crystal, his wolf instincts already sensing that whatever was inside would destroy him completely.The first video loaded, and his world cracked apart.Inside the memory crystal was everything - all of Sera's provocations against me, captured in secret recordings and hidden camera footage.Video after video of Sera mocking me when she thought no one was watching."That stupid Luna actually thinks Kieran loves her," Sera laughed to herself in one clip. "He's already mine. She just doesn't know it yet."Another video showed Sera's medical records, clearly displaying her severe allergy to wolf fur. The documents were stamped and verified by three different healers.She couldn't possibly keep a pet dog. She couldn't even be in the same room as one without breaking out in hives.The most damning footage was from the night my mother died.Sera grinning viciously as she directed the Gammas to switch out the training dummy for my mother."Make su

    The crisp sound of a slap rang out, echoing through the medical center.Sera staggered backward, her hand flying to her burning cheek in shock.Never, in all the months of manipulation, had Kieran ever laid a hand on her.Kieran's face was carved from ice, his Alpha aura pressing down on her like a physical weight."You better not have lied to me, Sera. Because if I find out you have, I'll make you pay back a thousandfold!""I'll make you experience every moment of pain you caused my family!"Owen stepped forward, and despite his young age, he radiated the same intimidating aura as his father.The resemblance between them had never been more obvious."Aunt Sera, if I find out everything you said was lies, then however you bullied my mother, I'll bully you back the same way!""I'm not a little kid anymore. I know what real cruelty looks like now."Sera stumbled backward, covering her stinging cheek with both hands.She realized things weren't developing the way she'd expected at all.Wh
