I gathered myself, stood up, and headed straight for the restaurant doors. I had no interest in arguing with them since it was pointless.I'd better use the time to track down more local food and indulge my memories.However, just as I reached the entrance, Aiden blocked my path. His lips were pressed into a tight line as he pulled out a check for $200,000 and held it out to me."Take it. Eat something decent. Buy yourself some proper clothes. If the servant quarters aren’t comfortable for you, rent a place outside for now. In a few days, I’ll help you find a respectable job."If that’s not enough, just ask me for more. Ever since I became Silverglade Pack’s top warrior, I’ve got more than enough to support two of you."The condescension in his voice actually made me laugh. To him, I was still that cheap, easily satisfied girl from five years ago. In the five years since I left him, I experienced a kind of love and respect he could never give me, a life where someone would lay the

Back home, I’d planned to scold Faelan properly, but the moment he looked up and pouted at me, all my anger melted."No more ditching the bodyguards, okay? Your safety comes first. Your dad is busy with the Silverglade Pack’s Alpha these next few days, so he won’t be back until the treaty’s signed. Don’t make Mommy worry, alright?"Faelan nodded sweetly, then snuck in another plea while snuggling up to me. "Then, wherever Mommy goes, bring me too, okay? I promise I’ll be super good!"My heart turned to mush. I scooped him up and kissed him twice, hard."Okay. Mommy promises—you’ll go wherever I go."—Three days later, the Alpha of Silverglade Pack, Horace Greystone, threw our family a grand welcome feast.Silverglade was a small, subordinate pack to Black Rose. Horace had spent heavily, offering us rare pelts and riches, to trade for even a modest piece of land from Black Rose. This land merger meant everything to them. They even stationed a formal welcoming party outside the p

The entire pack hall fell instantly silent.The doors burst open with a bang, and Nolan stormed in, the full weight of the Silverglade Pack’s leadership trailing nervously behind him.The moment he threw me a heartbeat's glance, Janine, who was still holding the knife aloft, was flung violently across the hall by an invisible force. She smashed through three support pillars and landed embedded deep in the far wall.Despite being Silverglade’s top warrior, Aiden had already collapsed into a trembling heap on the floor. Faelan, who was finally free, leapt up and ran to Nolan, sobbing as he threw himself into his father’s arms."Daddy! They were bullying Mommy and me! You have to make them pay!"Nolan wrapped his arms protectively around our son, then crouched slowly in front of me. His voice was calm—too calm—the quiet before a coming storm."How many fools," he said, inspecting my wounds, "thought they could lay hands on you?"My throat tightened as I looked up at him. The cold m

Horace was dying of regret. How could he have been so blind to choose such a reckless fool as his pack’s top warrior? Not only had Aiden offended the Luna of Black Rose Pack, but he’d dared to lead the charge in humiliating her.Now, Horace had learned the worst part of all: Aiden had abandoned her five years ago.That was when Horace realized that his entire pack might be finished. All he could do now was sever ties with the idiot as fast as possible and pray that Alpha Nolan would be magnanimous enough not to punish them all for one man’s sins.Alas, Aiden was too far gone. Jealousy had rotted away whatever reason he had left. The only thing looping in his mind was the obsession to drag me back.He ignored the pressure from two Alphas bearing down on him and shouted at the top of his lungs, "I’m telling the truth! Wren left me five years ago, and she was already pregnant! That pup over there? He’s mine! The timeline fits perfectly! What, do you all think I’m blind?"His voice ro
