Cass’s POV“I heard Iris had a little incident?”The moment those words slipped out of Vania’s mouth, my anger ignited fast and hot. “How could you call this a little incident?” I asked, each word sharpened with emphasis. My gaze locked onto hers, cold and cutting. “If it were really just a small incident, Iris would’ve regained consciousness by now, don’t you think?”Vania gave me a thin, dismissive smile. “You worry too much. There’s no need for that, Miss Cassandra.”My fists curled tight. She spoke to me as if we were strangers. Ah—right. She never once saw me as her daughter. And she was correct. I wasn’t.“So is what Alice said true, Vania?” This time Alaric spoke up. “Iris collapsed after gym practice. She even had a seizure?”Vania sighed dramatically. “That’s what I heard, Alpha. My

Cass’s POVThe moment I stepped into Iris’s room, my chest tightened.“Iris…” I whispered. My whole body trembled at the sight of her.Her small frame looked so fragile. An IV line was taped to her tiny hand, dark circles shadowed her eyes, and her cheeks had thinned. And for some reason, there were still faint traces of dirt under her little nails. She was still weak, clearly still under the lingering effects of the sedative… yet her eyes were already half-open.And the second she saw me; she tried to sit up—“Aunt Cass!” she said with a weak smile. “You came?”I rushed to her side, holding her gently while trying to keep my emotions from spilling over. What had she gone through?“Of course I came,” I told her, forcing a warm smile for her sake. “How are you feeling now?”“I… feel a little dizzy.” She touched

Cass’s POV“Who do you think… the stranger here is, Iris?”Lyra’s question made me blink in disbelief. She was playing her role perfectly—too perfectly. And because of that, Iris looked at me with a troubled gaze, as if she wanted to deny it but… couldn’t.“You don’t know, Iris?”“What are you talking about, Lyra,” I warned her quietly. I couldn’t afford to sound accusatory in front of Iris. Lyra held too much sway over her emotions, and she wielded that power without the slightest remorse. Right in front of me, she manipulated my daughter with the affection Iris believed was real.“I want Aunt Cass to go home,” Iris whispered.I stilled.Those words pierced deeper than any insult Lyra had ever thrown at me—deeper than Vania’s hateful stares or Cassian’s constant dismissal. This… this shattered me.“Iris,” I breathed, my voice cracking. I never imagined I would hear something like that from my own child. I wasn’t angry with her—not even disappointed. She didn’t understand what she was

Cass’s POV“You’re expected by Alpha Orion, Miss Cassandra.”Two warriors greeted me warmly and respectfully the moment I stepped out of the car. Ben motioned for me to head inside the mansion. I’d visited Orion’s mansion a few times before—mostly to discuss the transfer of NightFang’s legal authority to me, so I could handle negotiations with other Packs and non-Pack corporations without risking unfavorable outcomes.“Thank you for picking me up, Ben.”Orion’s trusted Beta flashed a wide smile. “With pleasure, Miss Cassandra.”We walked together into the vast, grand mansion. Several other warriors were stationed throughout the grounds, their attention alert. Security here was always tight, though most of them already knew me. I returned their greetings politely as we passed.The large carved doors swung open as we approached. Orion’s office

Alaric’s POVEver since Cassandra walked out with that look—sad, disappointed, defeated—an uncomfortable weight has been pressing down on my shoulders. She didn’t say a single word before leaving the room. And I… I couldn’t even bring myself to stop her. To ask her to stay a little longer.To stay here. With Iris.And because of that, guilt has been crawling slowly, wrapping itself thick around my chest.Lyra sat at the edge of Iris’s bed, stroking Iris’s hair in slow, gentle motions. But every word that came out of her mouth carried its own subtle pressure, shaping Iris’s thoughts exactly the way Lyra wanted them to go.“I told you already, sweetheart.” Lyra gave her a sweet smile. “Cass is an outsider. You don’t need to wonder why she shows up all the time. She’s just… like that. Always sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong.”
