Trista's POV

I lowered my eyes, shifting my gaze from the sharp lines of his face to the obsidian canes resting on the table.

They shimmered under the dim lights, humming with the ancient lunar magic of the Silverlight pack—my mother's legacy, the last remnants of my bloodline.

Watching them, the final spark of warmth I had for the man sitting next to me flickered out for good.

I saw right through him. He was using my family's dignity as a bargaining chip, playing a high-stakes emotional game h

    Third Person's POVAt the same time, inside the Ironthorn packhouse boardroom.Cassian poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Alaina. "Mom, what are you doing here?"Alaina leaned back against the leather sofa and set her clutch aside. "I was just in the neighborhood and figured I'd see how you two were holding up."Cassian looked down, avoiding his mother's sharp eyes. "We're doing fine."Alaina set her cup down, her expression hardening. "Showing up at a public event with Trista and Samantha is what you call 'fine'?""Don't listen to Wynn's drama," Cassian said, his face a mask of indifference."Cassian, I'm your mother. I want your mating to work," Alaina said, her voice heavy with worry. "But you have a biological kid with Samantha, and zero kids with Trista to keep things together. At this rate, your mating bond is going to snap."Cassian stayed silent, his Alpha aura turning stiff and cold.Alaina sighed. "Take my advice, Cassian. End your mating bond. Let each other move on wi

    Trista's POVCassian tossed my comms stone onto a high shelf, totally out of reach.He caught me as I started to go limp. My scent glands were haywire, pumping out a thick, sweet wave of pheromones I couldn't stop.He leaned in, his voice dropping to a cruel whisper, "You picked this stuff for Samantha, so you know exactly what it does. It's high-grade Alpha bait. It shreds your logic and forces you into heat. Taking you to the clinic is a waste of time. I'm the only 'cure' you've got."I was so pissed I actually started crying.I'd been on high alert all night, making sure I didn't breathe in anything suspicious, only to get nailed by the very trap I'd set for Samantha.The heat was swallowing me whole. My wolf had already switched sides—it was howling in my head, begging for this Alpha to take control."If it's too much, just ask," Cassian growled in my ear. "Make your wolf submit."I responded by biting his arm as hard as I could. It was a pathetic, last-ditch middle finger.Cassia

    Trista's POVI pushed the glass of water away, my guard up.That powder was a heavy-duty black market supplement, specifically engineered for high-tier Alphas. It was potent as hell and had zero antidote.For a useless screw-up like Samantha to drop it right at Cassian's feet was peak stupidity.Cassian looked like a total gentleman on the outside, but underneath, he was the most calculating predator.If he wanted payback, spiking my water would be the first thing he'd do.I held my breath, watching his face for even a flicker of a micro-expression or a spike in his pheromones. While he watched, I grabbed a brand-new glass from the cabinet, scalded it three times with boiling water, and finally filled it myself.The moment I raised the glass, Cassian's bottomless, wolfish eyes locked onto me. He slowly set his own drink down, not saying a single word.My mind started racing. Logically, Samantha would've pinned the whole thing on me to save her own skin. The fact that Cassian hadn't ba

    Third Person's POVWynn was vibrating with pure rage. "Trista, have you lost your mind? You're actually protecting her? I saw it with my own eyes—she was trying to spike your drink! Just make that guy take the stuff out of his pocket and we'll see who's lying!"Seeing the situation spiral, Fred rushed over and dragged a hysterical Wynn to the side."That's enough," he hissed, trying to talk her down. "Like it or not, Samantha is Algernon's mom. You have to give Cassian some modicum of Alpha dignity."Wynn was barely kept in check, leaving Trista standing there with her shirt literally soaked in cold sweat.She looked at a catatonic Samantha, feeling a wave of exhaustion. "Didn't you say you weren't feeling well?" she prompted, her voice dry.Samantha snapped out of it, grabbing onto that excuse like a lifeline. She shot a timid, pleading look at Cassian. "Cassian... my scent glands feel a bit inflamed. Could you... could you drive me back to my apartment?"Asking an Alpha to take you

    Third Person's POVSamantha's hands were shaking so hard she practically shoved the vial back into Trista's face. "Maybe... maybe we should swap seats? You're closer to him. You do it.""Are you insane? Swap seats now?" Trista hissed, pushing the drugs back like they were radioactive. "You think Cassian is blind? He's paranoid as hell—he'd sniff out the setup in a heartbeat. Fred practically handed you a win when he sat you next to him, and you're blowing it, you idiot!"Trista knew exactly what she was playing with. Cassian was a chess master; every move she made had to be calculated down to the millimeter. One slip-up, and she wouldn't be getting a divorce—she'd be heading straight to a pack dungeon.Seeing Samantha waver, Trista leaned in for the kill, her voice dripping with toxic encouragement. "Samantha, look at me. This is your only shot at the throne. Either you use this to get pregnant with his second child, or you do the deed and I'll burst in with witnesses to 'catch you in

    Third Person's POVTrista leaned in and hissed under her breath, "Pour the damn drink!"Her heart was thumping. She had been dying for a chance to get Samantha near Cassian's glass, and this was finally the perfect opening.Seeing Samantha fumbling with the bottle like a klutz, Trista quickly grabbed a wedge of watermelon with her fork and held it up to Cassian's face.She was trying to pull a classic "distraction play"—keeping his hyper-aware Alpha senses locked on her so Samantha could finally spike his drink.As Trista moved closer, Cassian felt his jagged, icy pheromones miraculously smooth out.A wave of smug satisfaction washed over him. "Typical," he thought. "She says she wants a divorce, but she's more territorial than anyone."He was convinced Trista had only been excited earlier because she was terrified he'd roll a 7 or an 8 and end up getting physical with Samantha.Now that he had to drink, she was suddenly all over him, trying to win back his attention before any other
