Cameron POV

My fingers tightened around the steering wheel as one of the guards climbed into the passenger seat. The headlights of the van behind us came alive across the gravel as I pulled onto the dark road.

The drive home barely registered. Time kept vanishing. One moment I was staring at the white lane markings, the next the Alpha estate gates were opening in front of me.

The guard beside me kept glancing toward my face, his boots shifting nervously against the floor mat, but I ignored him.

Finally it’s out in the open. Evangeline is saying all this stuff because she doesn’t want the consequences herself if he breaks Dominion. If they test the bond I’m sure it’s with Lisa.

    Cameron POVCassidy excused herself and left with Evangeline, leaving me wondering what was supposed to happen next.Franklin and Nadia tried to keep things normal. They kept me talking, as though conversation alone could stop my mind from running."Do you think she's truly sorry?" Nadia asked.Franklin scoffed. "She can be sorry, but we're not buying it. We're not encouraging any closeness after this. Too much has happened.""I still hope she finds some kind of meaning in her life," Nadia said. "I can't imagine living after killing my own mother.""Maybe living with it is punishment enough."The woman who had welcomed us into the building returned."We're ready for you."Franklin took the lead while Nadia slipped her hand into mine and gave it a squeeze."I can't wait to have you back."My throat tightened. I couldn't answer.The second floor looked disappointingly ordinary. It could have passed for any hospital. White walls. Closed doors. Nurses walked past without paying us any att

    Cameron POVNadia screamed and clapped, unable to contain herself. Franklin sat opposite me with a grin that refused to leave his face, as though we'd finally stumbled onto the answer after groping around in the dark."I can't believe this," Nadia said. "The answers were right there in our hands, and we didn't even have to break into a sweat. Well, except Cameron who had to suffer through all of this."Franklin laughed. "I thought we'd have to survive an apocalypse just to get you out of this mess."Their excitement never reached me.They kept talking, throwing jokes back and forth while I rolled my pen between my fingers. Nadia stopped smiling. She exchanged a glance with Franklin. I'd seen that look before. Ever since Dominion came into our lives, silence always made people wonder whether it had found another way in."What's eating you?" Franklin asked. "If this is about Lisa..."He stopped when I looked up."Oh," Nadia murmured. "It is about her.""You all owe me an explanation,"

    Evangeline POV Lisa walked away without looking back, and I stayed where I was, watching her reflection disappear through the glass until the door closed behind her.Two guards stepped in behind me. Cassidy came in from outside and motioned for me to follow. Neither of us spoke as she led me into another room. The guards removed my restraints but remained close enough to intervene if I tried anything.Several middle-aged women sat around a mahogany table, speaking quietly among themselves. They acknowledged my presence with nothing more than a glance before returning to their discussion.They let me stand there.I bit the inside of my lip and swallowed against the knot in my throat.One of them turned to Cassidy."How did Lisa respond?"Cassidy shrugged."She doesn't believe her. She thinks she's acting out of desperation. She said if Meridian had never turned against her, she'd still be trying to destroy her."Quiet murmurs moved around the table."She doesn't want blood on her hand

    Evangeline POVThe days had blurred together until I no longer knew who I was, what I felt, or how to keep my thoughts from slipping away.Even though the rational part of me knew my mother had chosen to sacrifice me instead of saving me, I still wished it hadn't been by my hands. If I could turn back time, I would.The guilt stayed with me, and no amount of justification made it easier to carry.Cassidy, the woman I was supposed to kill, had taken me to an ordinary house. That surprised me. After everything she'd said about Meridian coming for me, I expected hidden bunkers, armed guards, and rituals carved into every wall. Instead, I'd spent two nights in a normal home.Even stranger, nobody whispered inside my head. The only thing destroying me was what I'd done.Now I was about to stand before Lisa, confess everything, and ask for forgiveness.The woman I used to be would've laughed at the idea. She would've dismissed Lisa as nothing more than a cheap surrogate, mocked her to her f

    Lisa POVThe hours crawled by, and I'd never felt more restless than I did after Joanna's visit. I couldn't bring myself to imagine seeing Evangeline again.I hadn't realized how deep the damage ran until now. The memories came all at once, like somebody had thrown open a door I'd fought to keep shut.Her calling me her sister, agreeing to make me her surrogate through natural conception, the guilt that followed, the attraction I never wanted to feel toward Cameron, finding out she wasn't who I thought she was, running from one safe house to another, almost losing the baby and my own life because someone poisoned me.Every road seemed to lead back to the day I signed that surrogacy contract. And now they expected me to sit there and listen to her confession, as though hearing her side could undo any of it.They'd spent so much time protecting my body that they'd forgotten what this had done to my mind. I wasn't even convinced I'd make it through childbirth without someone trying to co

    Lisa POV"Who would've thought your presence and this bowl of chicken would give me a spike of happiness?" I said to my mom.She laughed as she unpacked the takeout bag while I folded another piece of crispy chicken through the cream, making sure every bite was coated before bringing it to my mouth.I shut my eyes as my teeth sank into it. A contented sigh escaped me."It's emotional torture," my mother said, smiling as she watched me eat. "I can't imagine being pregnant, isolated, and not even having your favorite treat."I pointed a piece of chicken at her."Don't make me relive those memories."She laughed again, and before long we drifted into talking about random things.We were in the safe house now, if that was even the right word. It felt more like protected isolation.The comfort didn't come from the place itself, because there wasn't much of it. It came from knowing we were safe behind locked doors and thick concrete walls while whatever was happening outside stayed outside.

    Lisa POV“This is so fucked up, Lisa.” Sasha dragged a breath through the phone. “You’re supposed to sleep with this guy while his mate’s portrait watches? Who even does that? Cover it with something. Turn it around. Anything.”My pulse kicked harder.“Do you know anything about their relationship?”
