Chapter 183RAMONI slid down to the floor among the broken glass and blood and sobbed. Great, gasping sounds that tore from my chest with a violence that hurt.I couldn't be around Lake. Couldn't be around Ollie. Couldn't trust myself not to hurt them, not to act on these twisted desires that apparently lived inside me.The dream had proven it. Five years ago with fourteen-year-old Lake. Yesterday morning when I'd seen him younger. And now—even now, with the memory fresh and horrible—my body still wanted him.I was dangerous. A threat to the people I loved most.And the only way to protect them was to stay away.I sat there on the bathroom floor as the night faded into dawn, bleeding and crying and coming to terms with what I had to do.---By six in the morning, I'd made my decision.I would give Lake his freedom. Complete, total freedom. The debt that had originally brought us together—Samuel's debt that had been transferred to me—I would officially forgive it. Lake wouldn't owe me

Chapter 185LAKEThe words hit me like a physical blow. Ramon was telling me I could have him arrested. Could press charges for what had happened when I was fourteen. Could see him prosecuted and potentially imprisoned.Was that what I wanted?I thought about that night. About being fourteen and scared and in heat. About the alpha who'd been kind to me when everyone else had been cruel. About feeling safe for the first time in months.And then I thought about Ramon now. About the man who'd pulled me from the ocean, who'd given me and Ollie a home, who'd fought to save us from Samuel. About the man I'd fallen in love with, who I'd chosen to bond with.Were they really the same person? Could the kind alpha from my memory and my loving mate coexist with someone who deserved to be in prison?"I don't know," I whispered. "Rhodes, I don't know what I want. I don't know how I'm supposed to feel about any of this.""You don't have to know right now," Rhodes said gently. "Lake, you have time.

Chapter 187LAKE"No," I said firmly, moving closer despite Ollie's earlier rejection. "Ollie, you didn't do anything wrong. Papa's not mad at you. He's just—he's dealing with some hard things right now. Things that have nothing to do with you.""But if they don't have to do with me, why do I have to stay here?" Ollie asked, his logic painfully clear. "If Papa's not mad at me, why can't I see him?"I didn't have a good answer for that. Because Ollie was right—none of this was his fault. He shouldn't have to suffer because of the complicated, terrible truth about his conception. Shouldn't have to be kept away from the father he loved because I was still processing my own hurt and anger.But I also couldn't take him back to Ramon's house. Couldn't pretend everything was fine when it so clearly wasn't. Couldn't expose Ollie to the tension between Ramon and me while we figured out if our relationship could survive this."I know it doesn't make sense," I said, kneeling in front of Troy so

Chapter 189RAMONAfter Marcus left, practically vibrating with excitement, I called Jennifer in."I need you to book a flight to Barcelona for this Friday," I said. "Business class. And I need you to be discreet about it. Don't mention this to anyone who calls asking about my schedule. Not my brothers, not my mother—no one. This is confidential business information. Understood?"Jennifer's expression showed she knew something was off, but she nodded. "Of course, Mr. Navarro. May I ask—how long will you be gone?""Indefinitely," I said. "I'll be establishing our Barcelona office with Marcus. Could be a few months, could be longer. Cancel all my local appointments. Anything that can be handled remotely, I'll take care of from Spain. Anything that requires in-person attention, delegate to Rafael.""Your family is going to ask questions," Jennifer said carefully."Let them ask," I said. "You don't owe them answers. This is a business decision. They'll understand eventually."That was a l

Chapter 191RAMON"I can't stay and expect him to heal with me," I countered. "Romeo, I raped Lake. Do you understand that? I had sex with him when he was fourteen years old. And now every time he looks at me, he's going to remember that. Every time we're intimate, he's going to wonder if I'm thinking about him as a child. How is staying going to help that?""Because you love him," Rhodes said simply. "Ramon, love is how we heal from trauma. Connection, not isolation. You leaving—you running to Barcelona—that's only going to make things worse for everyone.""You don't know that," I said."Yes, I do," Rhodes insisted. "Ramon, I'm a trauma specialist. This is literally my area of expertise. And I'm telling you—abandoning Lake right now is the worst possible thing you could do. For him and for you.""I don't matter," I said. "Only Lake and Ollie matter. And they're better off without me.""That's not true," Rafael said. "Brother, Ollie had a complete meltdown this morning. He's devastate
