Jolie POVI need coffee before facing the pack meeting. My head's spinning with wedding plans and trap theories, and I haven't slept properly in days.The kitchen is empty when I walk in, which is unusual for mid-morning. Usually Phoenix is making breakfast or Luna's grabbing her third cup of caffeine.I'm reaching for a mug when I hear voices from the hallway. Low, intimate, too quiet for normal conversation.Something makes me pause. Some instinct I've learned to trust since becoming Luna.I move toward the sound, my steps silent on the tile floor.Ryder's office door is partially open. Through the gap, I can see two figures standing close together. Too close.Ryder and Seraphina.Her hand rests on his arm, her body angled toward his in a way that speaks of intimacy,My stomach clenches, but I don't move. Don't announce my presence."You can't keep protecting her from reality." Seraphina's voice is soft, concerned. "She's burning herself out trying to be everything to everyone.""Th

Ryder pov Jolie's wolf form racing past me toward the forest exit."Jolie!" I shout, but she doesn't stop. Doesn't even slow down.I shift instantly, Shadow bursting free with a roar that shakes the walls. We chase after her, but she's fast, faster than she should be.The moonfire blazes around her as she runs, and I realize with a shock that she's not in pain. The shift that used to leave her bedridden now seems effortless.She races into the forest, leaping over fallen logs and dodging between trees with supernatural grace. I follow, Shadow pushing harder than we have in months.But we can't catch her. She's not running from a threat—she's running from me.Finally, half a mile into the woods, she stops in a small clearing. Her silver wolf stands in the center, sides heaving, moonfire casting everything in ethereal light.I shift back to human form. "Jolie, please. Let me explain."Her wolf turns to face me, and the look in those eyes—my mate's eyes—is pure pain."Baby, please shift

Jolie POVSeraphina's smile makes my skin crawl.She knows what she did. Knows the pain she caused. And she's standing there looking pleased with herself like this is all some game she's winning.Ryder's wolf growls low beside me, but I press against his side. Not here, not like this.We shift back to human form behind the tree line where we stashed emergency clothes earlier. By the time we're dressed and walking toward the compound, Seraphina is gone."She's going to be a problem." Ryder's voice is tight. "We need to handle this now.""After the pack meeting." I take his hand. "Let's talk to Luna first, see what she found. We need solid evidence before we tell Phoenix the truth."We find Luna in the security room with Knox, both of them hunched over a laptop. They look up when we enter, relief crossing Luna's face."Are you two okay?" She asks."We will be." I squeeze Ryder's hand. "Tell me what you found on Seraphina."Luna spins the laptop around. The screen shows a detailed report

Jolie pov "One hour is generous." She moves toward the door, pausing beside me. Her voice drops so only I can hear. "You think you won, little Luna. But I showed you exactly who your mate is—someone who keeps secrets, who hides uncomfortable truths, who thinks protection and control are the same thing. You'll remember that when he does it again.""No." I meet her eyes steadily. "I'll remember you were a professional liar who got paid to destroy something beautiful and failed completely. That's your legacy here—total failure."Something flickers in her expression. Genuine anger, maybe even wounded pride."We'll see." She walks toward the door, then pauses and looks back at Ryder. "For what it's worth, the six months we had? That was the closest I ever came to being real with someone. You almost made me forget I was playing a role.""That's the saddest thing you've said all week." Ryder's voice is quiet. "That you don't even remember who you really are anymore."She leaves without anot

Jolie pov "No." I step around Ryder to face her directly. "I'll know that you were a professional liar who tried to exploit my trauma and failed. That's all you'll ever be in my memory—a failed attack that made us stronger."She walks past me toward the door, then pauses. "For what it's worth, little Luna, you're tougher than I expected. Under different circumstances, I might have actually liked you.""I'll never know." I hold her gaze. "Because you chose to be someone who destroys things instead of building them. That's on you, not the circumstances."She leaves without another word. We watch from the doorway as she crosses to where a motorcycle waits—not one of ours, something she must have arranged earlier."Think she'll actually leave?" Phoenix asks quietly."Knox put trackers on that bike." Luna taps her tablet. "If she tries to come back, we'll know immediately.""She won't come back." I lean against Ryder. "She's a professional. She failed here, and now everyone knows how she
