Cass’s PoV“If you want to discuss this, let’s meet tomorrow at two in the afternoon. Solace Den Café.”Those words weren’t something I could ignore. There was no way I could treat a meeting with that deceitful woman as something trivial. And so, here I was.The late afternoon sky hung low over the small café that sat on the border between SilverFang and NightFang territories. The building looked ordinary enough, but I knew better—every shadow in this place was being watched.Gamma Russel sat by the window, eyes sharp and assessing as he watched me enter. Looking across sat Lyra, poised and radiant in an elegant cream coat, her hair pinned up neatly. Her face glowed with that triumphant energy she wore whenever she thought she’d won something.If only Alice had been more forthcoming when we spoke on the phone a few days ago, perhaps I’d know what kind of situation I was walking into. But she’d sounded uncertain, hesitant… promising only that she’d help however she could.That was enou

Cass’s PoV“I think this level of escort is unnecessary, Ben,” I muttered flatly, glancing at the five NightFang soldiers walking behind me as we made our way through the courthouse hall. Several Noctis staff members were also in town.“Direct orders from the Alpha,” Ben replied curtly. “He doesn’t want to take any risks.”“He even left without saying goodbye,” I whispered under my breath.Ben’s lips curved slightly. “The Council of Alphas meeting couldn’t be postponed. But he did leave a message—he didn’t want you to face the first hearing alone.”I took a deep breath before stepping into the courtroom. The air smelled of old wood and chilled metal from the ventilation. Several court staff and appointed experts were already present, along with witnesses and representatives. My eyes scanned the room, searching for one thing—Alaric.We took our seats. I organized my files and steadied my mind—especially my emotions—for what was coming.The door opened again, and instantly, his scent fi

Cass’s POVI stepped out of the room where Alaric had met me. The air outside was colder, but the tension burning in my chest refused to ease. It took every ounce of willpower to keep my wolf aura steady.“Mrs. Cassandra! What did he say? Did he hurt you?” Ben’s voice was tight with concern. He stood rigid, every inch the loyal guard ready to protect, yet his eyes betrayed a flicker of uncertainty.Inside me, Selena was losing control.DON’T YOU DARE ACCEPT THAT BASTARD ALARIC’S OFFER, CASSANDRA! YOU’LL REGRET IT!Her growl was so loud in my mind it felt like a hammer pounding against my skull.He’s using Iris! He’s threatening us through her! Don’t you dare take a single step in his direction, no matter what he offers! Damn Alaric! Damn his wolf, Fenrir!“Ma’am?” Ben called again, pulling me out of the chaos inside my head. Selena

Alaric’s PoV“Alpha.”Russell stood before me, face tight, a thick stack of files clutched in his hands. The room that was usually quiet felt oppressive with my own anger.I let out a harsh breath. “What now, Russell? Don’t tell me Cassandra’s suit’s gotten more complicated.”He set the files on my desk and pushed one document across. “She’s under Alpha Orion’s protection, sir—formally. And look at this.”I picked up the paper he indicated. Cassandra’s record stared back at me: not the shy woman I’d driven away five years ago, but a formidable legal mind—cases won, bold defenses, a reputation as a fierce, competent counsel. She’d become sharp, fearless, indispensable.Russell waited for orders, posture rigid. “We can handle the motion about the threat, Alpha. But this shows we need to be more careful. You can’t threaten

Alaric’s POVIt’s been a week since that explosive argument with Cass. Even though I’d already pulled Iris out of that disgusting excuse for a school—Willow Creek—the anger festering in my chest toward Lyra hadn’t completely faded. She’d apologized, of course. Blamed the teachers, the students, promised she’d personally oversee Iris’s new school this time.I’m Alpha. I’m supposed to trust my Luna, right?And yet… Cass’s furious face and her sharp accusation—that I was blind—kept echoing in my mind.Tonight, I did something I hadn’t done in five years. I sat down at the main dining table and told the staff to prepare dinner for the three of us. I could feel the servants’ startled glances, but I ignored them.“Alaric? You want to dine here?” Lyra’s voice carried that soft, surprised sweetness she was so good at ma
