Trista's POV

By the time I woke up again, it was nearly noon.

The bedroom was heavy with the lingering scent of our mixed pheromones—the cold, sharp cedar of his Alpha aura tangled with the soft, elegant evening primrose of mine. It used to be a smell that made me feel safe. Now, it just felt like the aftermath of a crime scene.

Holding my breath, I carefully lifted Cassian's heavy arm from across my waist.

His limb felt like a lead shackle; even in his sleep, he held onto me with a kind of arr

    Third Person's POVThomasina took a deep breath, forcing herself to look completely calm. "Mrs. Crees, we've been friends for years. Don't let her play you like this."Samantha quickly adjusted her act, squeezing out a few fake tears. "I won't lie—Cassian and I used to be deeply in love. But the Ironthorn elders always looked down on my bloodline and forced us apart. Wynn is probably just terrified I'll win Cassian back, so she's making up these disgusting lies to humiliate me."Thomasina immediately leaned into Mrs. Crees's ear, dropping her voice to a low whisper. "They used to be lovers, and Cassian definitely felt guilty when they broke up. Wynn is just taking it out on her, trying to ruin Samantha's social standing for good. Mrs. Crees, if you lose your temper now, you're walking right into an Ironthorn trap."Mrs. Crees's fury deflated a bit under the half-truths. "Is it really just a misunderstanding?"Thomasina nodded firmly. "Wynn br

    Third Person's POVUlrik adjusted his glasses, his eyes gleaming with a dark intensity. "Fred, I thought you were under the weather. Where did you find the energy to escort Miss Simmons through the gardens?"Fred flashed a smooth, practiced smile that didn't reach his eyes. "Cassian explicitly told me before his business trip that I am fully responsible for Wynn's safety tonight. Not a single thing can go wrong."Wynn wasn't having any of it. She snatched her coat right back from Fred's hands. "Do your own thing, Fred. I'm going to go clean up the trash myself."Wynn marched straight over and stopped right in front of Samantha.Samantha obviously recognized the little princess of the Ironthorns.She had been stressing over how to get close to Cassian, and while Wynn's sudden appearance was dangerous, it was also a perfect stepping stone.Samantha forced a fake, pleasant smile. "Miss Simmons, long time no see. You're as radiant as ever

    Third Person's POVAt noon, the Los Angeles sun beat down mercilessly through the blinds. Samantha dragged her exhausted body back into Thomasina's beauty spa.Thomasina was sharp; she immediately picked up on the anxious pheromones bleeding into the air.She quickly double-locked the door and lowered her voice. "Samantha, that kid—Algernon. Are you absolutely sure no other wolves know he exists, besides your mother and that useless brother of yours?"Samantha shook her head weakly. "No one, Auntie. I swear. I originally wanted to keep him as my ultimate trump card to trigger Cassian's paternal instincts and get him to take me back. But I never expected him to completely shred our history before he even saw the kid."Thank goodness she hadn't played that card yet, or Cassian would have immediately branded her a blasphemer without a second thought.Thomasina let out a sigh of relief, a ruthless, calculating glint flashing in her eyes. "

    Third Person's POVCassian squeezed the shopping bags in his hands so hard his knuckles turned white.Watching Xander take such perfect care of her—booking her into the closest hotel, flying over just to go shopping with her, and even dropping to one knee in front of everyone without a second thought—slammed a bitter truth right into his chest.That was a level of decency and respect he had never given her during those three years in the prison they called a "marriage."Even an Alpha like Xander, who had zero dating experience, understood loyalty, favoritism, and a wife's dignity.Yet Cassian, in his past life, had just stood by and let Samantha trample all over Trista's boundaries time and time again."I don't deserve her," Cassian muttered. He leaned heavily against the car door, hunching over as a sharp, crushing ache rippled from his chest through his entire body, making it hard to breathe.He didn't deserve her love. He didn't even deserve the chance to say sorry.At 2:00 PM, Tri

    Third Person's POVSamantha saved the number with shaking fingers and hit dial immediately.On the other side of the ocean, Cassian was pacing in front of his floor-to-ceiling windows.The moonlight outlined his lonely, towering frame. His thumb repeatedly brushed against his screen; he was just about to initiate a video call.Suddenly, an unknown number popped up.He declined it without a second thought and tapped the only profile picture that ever made his heart race.The video connected.Trista had just finished her skincare routine. A silk nightgown draped over her graceful figure, revealing a glimpse of her pale neck at the collar.Cassian's Adam's apple bobbed. His tone became softer than it had ever been. "Are you adjusting okay over there? If you aren't used to the scent of a foreign pack, I'll send a private jet to bring you home right now.""Hold on," Trista said, hearing a knock at her door. She looked a bit p

    Third Person's POVThat same night, Samantha grabbed her toddler and left with Thomasina without looking back.Watching their retreating figures, the smile on Angela's face vanished instantly, and she spat toward the door."If I didn't know better," Angela snapped at her husband and mother-in-law, "I'd think Samantha was Thomasina's secret love child!"At 10:00 PM, Thomasina brought the mother and son to the top floor of a high-end beauty spa she owned."Samantha," Thomasina said, pushing open the door to a luxury suite. "This spa is my private property. I usually use this place for naps or meeting clients. It's quiet, and the Simmons family's spies can't get in. You and the boy can stay here for now."Samantha gripped Thomasina's sleeve like a lifeline. "Auntie, I've completely offended Cassian. I can't go back to France, and that bastard Ainsley has people looking for me. What am I supposed to do? My life is ruined."Thomasina sighe

    Third Person's POV"If I had just given in when Howard forced me away... or if I hadn't been so soft-hearted during those dark years of abuse and chose not to bring this little life into the world, he wouldn't have to suffer like this now, living in the shadows."Cassian soothed her in a low voice.

    Trista's POVI bit my lower lip, refusing to let a single sound escape, but my wolf was thrashing inside my chest. She let out a low, raspy whimper, only to be ruthlessly pinned down by the mark he'd left on me last night. Even struggling felt futile.When Cassian hung up and turned around, he saw
