Margaret reaches across the table and rests her hand on mine. “It’s not personal, really. I hope things work out for you.”“Thanks,” I say, standing up and motioning for Penny to follow. “I appreciate it.”Penny scrambles to her feet, and we head for the door. The bell chimes as we step out into the sunlight, and I take a deep breath, trying to shake off the sting of rejection.“Why are you so sad, Mama?” Penny asks.“Oh, it’s nothing, sweetie. I’m not sad, just tired.”We keep walking, and I try not to let the disappointment settle too deep. But it’s hard. Every door that closes feels like another reminder that I don’t belong here. That no matter howhard I try to move forward, my past will always be there, lurking in the shadows.As we pass another shop—this one a bookstore—I think about giving it another shot. But then I stop myself. What’s the point? It’s the same story everywhere. Everyone knows who I am. Everyone remembers what happened. And no one wants to take a chance on the w

JadeThe date Damien planned was… nice. Nice in that way you don’t want to admit out loud because then it becomes real, and who needs that complication? I mean, dinner by the lake under the soft glow of the sunset with Penny giggling while throwing pebbles into the water was sweet. But relaxing? Not exactly.It’s hard to let go of years of resentment, mistrust, and anger in one evening, no matter how pretty the setting is. I wanted to be present, to appreciate what Damien was doing, but every time I caught myself smiling, my brain screamed, “Don’t forget what he did!” So, no, there were no fireworks, no magical moment where everything clicked, and we fell into each other’s arms. But it was… nice. I guess that’s a start.Now, as I walk through Starfire Hollow with Penny in tow, I’m thinking more about my future. Specifically, how I need to secure one that doesn’t rely on Damien. Yeah, he’s rich. Like, private-jet, vacation-in-the-Maldives kind of rich. But the last thing I want is to b

“Are you worried about optics here, or do you really care about her?”“Of course I care,” I say firmly. “She’s my daughter.”“And Jade?” he asks, raising an eyebrow.The question hits harder than I expected, and for a moment, I don’t know how to answer. What about Jade? She’s always been there, always been in the back of my mind, even when I tried to forget her. Even when I tried to pretend I didn’t care.“I care about her, too,” I admit, though the words come out slower. “More than I want to.”Alec’s gaze sharpens, but he doesn’t say anything for a few moments. Finally, he nods. “You’ve got a lot of work to do, Damien. It’s not going to be easy.”“I know. But I’m willing to try.”He stands up and walks around the desk to stand in front of me. I’m tense, ready for a fight, but he just claps a hand on my shoulder. “Just don’t screw it up this time, man. Jade’s been through enough.”I nod, feeling the weight of his words settle over me like a damn anvil. “I won’t. But listen, there’s so

DamienI’m not usually one for regrets. Regrets are a waste of time—unproductive, useless. But as I sit here staring at the glow of my phone with Jade’s face flashing through my mind on a loop, I’m starting to think that maybe I’ve screwed things up worse than I realized.She doesn’t trust me. I don’t blame her. I’m the one who turned her in to my father to save my own skin. Why should she believe a word I say?I’m an alpha. I’ve spent my whole life making decisions that affect the people around me. Most of the time, those decisions have been pretty damn solid. But with Jade… hell, I’ve handled everything wrong. I threw her out when she needed me most, and now I’m just starting to see how much of an impact that had.She’s guarded. Cold. Defensive. And it’s all because of me.I run my hands through my hair and lean back in my office chair, trying to shake the heavy weight of guilt sitting on my chest. I’ve tried to convince myself that everything I’ve done has been for the good of the

When the book finally closes, she’s out. Fast asleep in his arms, her breathing soft and steady. And Damien? He just sits there, holding her like he’s afraid she’ll disappear if he moves.For a moment, something twists in my chest. It’s not anger, not anymore. It’s something else, something I’m not ready to admit to myself.“She loves you, you know,” I say softly, surprising myself with how raw the words sound. “Even without knowing who you were.”Damien glances up at me. “I’m going to clear your name.”“What?”“With the other packs,” he continues, carefully shifting Penny in his arms as he stands up. “And with ours. I’m going to make sure they know you can be trusted. You won’t be the outcast witch anymore. You’re part of Starfire Hollow. You’re part of my pack.”Oh, hell, no. He’s not going to pull that alpha card again.I push off the wall, and my arms fall to my sides as I narrow my eyes at him. “I don’t need you to clear my name, Damien. I’m not some damsel in distress waiting fo

“I didn’t know if you’d want her,” I admit, my voice cracking. “I didn’t know if you’d see her as a mistake.”“A mistake?” His eyes flash with something dangerous, but it’s not anger this time. It’s pain. “Jade, she’s not a mistake. She’s my daughter. I would never—” he cuts himself off, and he doesn’t speak again until he’s taking a long, deep breath. “I would never hurt her.”“But what if she… what if she does start showing signs of magic, Damien?”“Then we deal with it,” he says firmly. “Together.”I blink, surprised by his certainty. “You really think the pack will accept that?”“They’ll accept it because I’m the alpha. And I’ll protect her. I’ll protect both of you.”I want to believe him. I want to believe that things can be different, that Damien will somehow make it work. But the doubt is still there, gnawing at the back of my mind. “It’s not that simple, Damien,” I say cautiously. “The pack—”“The pack will fall in line,” he interrupts, his voice leaving no room for argument.
