Riguel’s POV

Week three, and I still didn’t know how this became my life. Every Saturday at two, I stood in that park like some guy waiting for a miracle. And every Saturday, Elsa’s car pulled in and I got those two hours with my boys.

My boys.

It still hit me in the chest every time I said it in my head.

The day was warm, weirdly warm for November. The boys threw their jackets somewhere and just ran off, yelling, laughing, climbing. They were chaos in tiny bodies, but watching them… it did something to me.

Luca was exactly how Elsa described. Sharp-eyed. Protective. He watched me like he was waiting for me to screw up. I didn’t blame him. Someone had to make sure I didn’t fall back into being the guy she told him about.

Then—

“Dad! Watch this!”

Dad.

Every time I heard it, something in me broke and healed at the same time.

Mateo jumped off the stupid slide like he had death insurance. He rolled, stood, grinned like he won an award.

“That was great!” I yelled back. “Just… maybe don’t j

    Riguel's POVI stood at the office window, watching Luca train with warriors twice his age. Thirteen years old and already moving like he’d been born with authority in his bones. I should’ve felt proud.All I felt was the familiar emptiness."He's good," Mira said from the doorway. "Better than you were at his age, from what Marcus says.""He works hard," I answered, not looking at her.She walked in slowly, like she always did around me. Five years married and we still acted like strangers."The boys want to go to the city this weekend," she said. "Some singer they won't stop talking about. I thought maybe you could take them. They miss spending time with their father."A punch of guilt. I've been even more absent lately."I’ll take them Saturday.""Riguel—" She paused. "We need to talk about us.""Not now, Mira.""When then? Because it's been five years, and you still treat me like

    Elsa's POVThe boardroom fell silent as I delivered the final blow."So to summarize, gentlemen, you can either accept my client's offer of sixty million, or we proceed to litigation where I'll personally ensure you lose not just this case, but your professional reputations." I closed my leather portfolio with a decisive snap. "I have documentation of every illegal practice, every violated regulation, every corner you've cut over the past decade. By the time I'm done, you won't just lose the company. You'll be facing criminal charges."The three men across the table looked like I'd slapped them. The lead negotiator, some pompous executive who'd walked in convinced his legal team could intimidate me, had gone pale."You're bluffing," he said, but his voice wavered.I smiled coldly "Try me."Five minutes later, they signed.Sixty million dollars for my client, plus a non-disclosure agreement that would keep their dirty secrets buried.

    He never called me Elsa anymore. He said it was safer, that I needed to fully inhabit my new identity.I suspected he liked it because it meant the woman he'd married wasn't the one who'd rejected him years ago."I've been patient for three years." I pulled my hand back. "My sons are six now. Seven in a few months. Half their childhood gone without me.""And in two more years, you'll be ready to get them back." His voice was soothing, reasonable. "You're close, Selma. So close. Don't sabotage it now by acting too soon."He was right. Logically, intellectually, I knew he was right.But logic didn't stop the dreams.Every night, I saw them. My boys, growing up without me. Forgetting me. Learning to love Mira as their mother.Believing the lies Riguel told about me.Sometimes I woke up screaming. Sometimes I woke up crying. Sometimes I woke up with my wolf clawing at my insides, demanding I shift and run back to Blackwood, reclaim

    Elsa's POVThe woman in the mirror was a stranger.Red hair fell in sleek waves past my shoulders, not the warm auburn some women chose, but a deep, rich crimson that caught light like blood. My natural golden brown was gone, chemically stripped and replaced with something that screamed power instead of whispered softness.Contact lenses turned my pale green eyes to a striking amber. Makeup sharper than I'd ever worn before, contoured cheekbones, bold lips, an edge that said “don't touch” before anyone got close enough to try.I looked nothing like Elsa Andrew.That was the point."What do you think?" I turned to face Killian, who leaned against the doorframe of our apartment.Our apartment. Because somewhere in the past six months, that's what this had become. His money funded my transformation, his name gave me legitimacy, his resources opened doors.And in return, I'd agreed to marry him.A quiet courthous

    Riguel’s POVI couldn’t remember the last time I slept. Real sleep. Not the half-conscious drifting I’d been doing for months. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her falling, heard the boys screaming, felt her body go still.Three months since the ceremony.Three months since her heart stopped.Three months of walking around like I was underwater, everything muffled.“Alpha?” Marcus was in the doorway. Worry all over his face. “The council is here for the monthly review.”Right. The council. Responsibilities. The things that were supposed to matter.“Give me five minutes,” I said.He didn’t leave. “Riguel… you look like shit. Maybe reschedule—”“I’m fine.”“You aren’t,” he said gently. “Not since—”He didn’t finish. We never said her name anymore.“Five minu

    Elsa’s POVThree days since I woke up, and all the grief had burned down into one thing:Rage.The first day I cried until nothing was left. The second day I just stared at the wall, empty. By the third, the pain stopped feeling like pain and turned into something sharp. Something that made my wolf want to tear everything apart.Killian kept trying. He set a tray beside me, soup, bread, and water. Simple and safe.I ignored it.“You need to eat,” he said.“Tell me again.” My voice was rough, like it didn’t belong to me. “About Riguel and Mira.”He exhaled, tired. “Elsa, you don’t need to—”“Tell me.”Killian sat back down, the chair creaking under him. He looked like he’d barely slept.“My contact says Mira moved into the Alpha chambers three days ago,” he said. “She’s been comforting Riguel. He
