Trista's POV

Alpha Forrest's brow deepened. He was clearly done with the drama.

He signaled his guards, his voice hardening into a cold command. "Did I stutter? Get this unidentified rogue out of Shadowfang territory. Now."

Faced with the crushing weight of a high-level Alpha's aura, Samantha's legs went weak.

Her first instinct was to scramble toward Cassian. It was a practiced move—she'd clearly spent years making "seeking protection" her default setting.

I watched her lean into his space and

    Trista's POVI looked at the box Cassian was holding out, but I couldn't even be bothered to lift a finger.I just let him set it on the hallway console, not even glancing at the fancy gift wrapping.Cassian's eyes lingered on the ignored box for a second, and his brow furrowed into a tight knot."Not gonna open it?" he asked, his voice dropping an octave in a clear sign of annoyance.I looked up and flashed him my best professional fake smile. "No need," I said airily. "It's a gift from you. How could I possibly not love it?"I watched his face go dark instantly. A flash of something cold and predatory flickered in his eyes, but I didn't give him the satisfaction of a reaction.I just went back to straightening my uniform, getting ready to head out.Out of old habit—a carryover from those restrictive clauses in our old contract—I walked up to him, intending to tip up onto my toes and leave a "dutiful" kiss on his cheek.But the second my heels left the floor, reality hit me. That mou

    Third Person's POVSamantha wasn't about to budge. She'd worked too hard to get settled in LA and had finally managed to wiggle her way into Madison's high-society inner circle.More importantly, the fact that Cassian was willing to go toe-to-toe with the Ironthorn members just to protect Algernon proved she still had a hold on him.As long as she could kick Trista out of the pack, the Luna seat was hers. There was no way she was walking away from a goldmine for a one-time payout.Seeing the defiance in her eyes, Cassian's face went stone-cold.He let his Alpha aura flare, his voice dripping with ice-cold warning. "Samantha, the amount on this card is enough to change your life forever. It's more than you'd ever make in a hundred lifetimes. If you don't take it now, don't expect a third chance."Samantha stood her ground, her palms slick with cold sweat.Sure, the money was a lot, but compared to the combined assets of Cassian and the Ironthorn Pack? It was pocket change.If she could

    Third Person's POVOnce they reached an agreement, Isaiah finally got to work.Trista kept a frantic eye on the study door, her ears straining for the slightest sound. "Move it! If he catches you in here, I'm telling him you picked the lock and broke in on your own."Isaiah's fingers flew across the keyboard, but his mouth didn't stop. "If Cassian catches us red-handed, I'm telling him you were just thirsty for a piece of this," he teased.Trista chose to ignore that.A few minutes later, Isaiah backed away from the mouse. "Encryption is heavy-duty. What exactly am I looking for?"Trista leaned in, her eyes landing on a folder with Samantha's initials. "Crack that one."It took less than a minute.As it turned out, Cassian had been running a secret deep-dive into Samantha's life during those six years she spent in France.Trista's heart sank as she scrolled. She hadn't realized just how pathetic and miserable Samantha's life had been back then.No wonder Cassian had developed this sic

    Third Person's POVCassian flipped open his laptop and plugged in the flash drive himself, beckoning her to take a look.Trista hesitated, keeping her distance. "You're sure you're not playing me?"Cassian met her gaze, his tone turning dead serious. "I told you—if you're still feeling insecure, I'll transfer the pack assets to you whenever you want. Ever since you came back, you've been pushing every single one of my boundaries. Did you follow even one rule in that agreement? Did I ever actually use my rank to punish you for it?"Trista's eyes flickered with uncertainty.After a beat, she stepped forward and confirmed the files on the drive. She pulled it out and squeezed it tight in her fist.Cassian closed the laptop and moved in, wrapping his arms around her waist. He looked down at her, his possessiveness on full display. "Trista, can we finally go to bed now?"The look in his eyes was anything but subtle. Trista caught the hint immediately.Just as she was trying to come up with

    Third Person's POVCassian stared at Trista, his voice trembling under the weight of his spiraling emotions. "Trista, what is the end game here? Do you even give a damn about this pack—about us—anymore?"Trista gave him a small, tight smile. "Cassian, do you want a pretty lie, or do you want the truth?"Cassian's grip on her shoulders tightened instinctively. "I want the truth. Straight up."Trista tilted her head back, meeting his eyes with a terrifying level of calm. "The truth? I want a divorce. I want to sever the mating bond."They stood locked in a stare-down. The sheer conviction in her eyes sliced right through Cassian's defenses.A flush of raw red crept into the corners of his eyes—a mix of white-hot rage and pure grief. His hands finally slid off her shoulders, dropping uselessly to his sides."Trista," he rasped, "that's not how this was supposed to go.""And when I gave everything I had to make this mating work," she shot back, "I didn't get the result I wanted either. Fu

    Third Person's POVFred turned around, staring straight at the lead Alpha who was teetering on the edge of a breakdown. He didn't hold back. "Cassian, stop lying to your own instincts. The truth is simple—Trista is done. She doesn't love you anymore. You're the one who broke that vibrant, confident she-wolf. You killed the Trista who used to look at you like you were her entire world."Cassian stood frozen, his back stiff with a dull ache, while the fingers holding his cigarette trembled uncontrollably.It took forever for him to find his voice. "We have a mating bond," he rasped. "We have decades of history. You don't just 'drop' something like that because you feel like it."In his mind, he was just doing the right thing—taking care of a pup because Samantha had sacrificed so much for him in the past.Sure, he'd handled it messy, but he'd never intended to end his mating. He never even considered letting go of his fated mate.Fred looked at him like he was a complete freak. "Trista
