Chapter 250. The truth.

**Cole's POV**"Alpha." Dr. Hana's voice is quiet and steady. "I have served this pack for sixteen years. Under your father, and under you. My loyalty has never wavered, and it will not begin now."A brief pause."No one has contacted me. No one has interfered with these results. What I am telling you is the truth — the same truth the test has confirmed twice.""Are you certain?" My voice comes out lower than I expect, edged with something dangerous.Then, firm and unwavering — "Yes, Alpha."Silence crashes over me.I just stand there, the words circling, refusing to settle. The same truth… confirmed twice.My grip tightens around the phone, plastic creaking faintly beneath my fingers as something cold and vicious coils in my chest.That conniving bitch planned this.But how? How the hell did she pull this off without me knowing?'Because women are clever like that,' my wolf drawls, sharp and mocking."Shit," I mutter under my breath.A soft, pointed cough cuts through the line. "Ahem

Chapter 251. Humiliation.

**Cole's POV**Elder White's sitting room is fuller than I expected.There is Elder Miriam, Elder Thomas, Elder Marcus, and two additional council members seated along the far wall.Realization hits me hard that this asshole set me up for public humiliation.I clench my jaw and take in the room without blinking, then look at Elder White. He looks back at me with that same immaculate composure — not even the ghost of submission in his expression.So this was always the plan. He was never going to let this be private.Fine. I will dance to your music for now. But before I am done, I will burn you and your wicked family to the ground.I breathe in slowly through my nose and walk in.Every head turns, including Sabrina's. She is seated beside her mother on the sofa nearest the window, dressed in a long floral lime green dress with white sandals — composed, every detail considered. She looks up when I enter and I watch that brightness move through her eyes before she smooths it back into s

Chapter 252. Played.

**Cole's POV** 'I know this is the last thing we want to do. But if we go back on our word in front of this council, White will challenge us for breaking our agreement and he will win. This man is too calculated to outmaneuver in front of everyone. We say what we agreed. Then we find Maya and make this right.' My wolf chimes in quietly in my head as voice of reason not to go back on my agreement, and it takes everything in me to go with his plan. I swallow hard, "After much consideration," I say, and my voice stays steady because I will not let it do anything else, "I have made the decision to hold a memorial service for Maya, as Elder White suggested at yesterday's meeting." The room exhales. Then Miriam's hand flies to her mouth and her eyes fill immediately, the way the eyes of a woman fill when she has been holding grief on behalf of someone else for a very long time and has finally been given permission to put it down. "Oh, Alpha," she breathes. "My condole—" "Elder

Chapter 253. Excuses.

**Cole's POV** "As good as that sounds, the memorial service will need my full attention for the coming weeks," I quickly come up with an excuse not to marry Sabrina immediately, and my voice carries the measured weight of an Alpha who is being completely reasonable. "After that settles and the pack has had its time to grieve — then we can revisit the matter of a ceremony. I suggest we push the wedding planning until after the memorial." Elder White simply raises his left eyebrow and leans forward, slowly, the way a man leans forward when he has been waiting patiently for exactly this moment. "Push it," he repeats. "Yes, and that is because the timing is not ideal for—" "The timing," elder White cuts me off gently, "is not something we have the luxury of choosing, Alpha." His eyes drop pointedly to Sabrina's midsection, and then rise back to mine. "Your pup is not waiting. It does not know that its father has a full schedule. It does not know about memorial services or pack

Chapter 254. Invite her.

**Cole’s POV** “There is one more thing,” Sabrina’s mother says, like she’s tying off the last thread of a perfectly managed afternoon. “Before we conclude this gathering…” She pauses, letting the silence settle. “I think it is in everyone’s best interest that Maya’s mother is informed of your plans.” “What plans?” My voice comes out sharper than I intend, my eyes locking onto hers. “The memorial.” Her tone remains gentle and unbothered. “She deserves to know. Stella has the right to say goodbye to her daughter. If she hears of it from someone else, it will only create unnecessary complications—” Her gaze flicks briefly toward Sabrina. “—and with Sabrina’s condition, I’m sure we would all prefer to avoid chaos. I trust you agree, Alpha. It is simply the right thing to do.” A cold weight drops into my gut. She wants me to tell Stella… that I am holding a memorial for a daughter who is still alive. Is she out of her mind? “Mrs. White is right,” elder Miriam adds from a

Chapter 255. Meet your stepmom.

**Stella's POV** (Meanwhile in the human city,) "I've decided to hold a memorial service for Maya." Cole's says over the phone but half my attention is on the woman in front of me. She is rolling her carry-on, scolding her husband like he is a kid about being at the wrong gates, completely unbothered of who sees or hears her. I watch her for a strange, disconnected second because I need somewhere to put my eyes while my brain catches up to what Cole just said. 'Girl, snap out of it. Cole wants to bury our baby girl without a body,' My wolf snaps. I blink out of my mini daze and say, "Say that again." "I said I'm holding a service of remembrance for Maya." There it is — that careful, measured tone he gets when he has already made a decision and is now just managing the announcement of it. I know that tone. I have six years of that tone filed away in places I don't go anymore. "For the pack. So they have somewhere to—" "Cole." He stops talking and outside the window, I

Chapter 256. Meet your brothers.

**Stella's POV** Well, this isn't awkward at all. I lower my hand slowly, the way you do when you were always planning to put it back anyway — when you never needed her to take it in the first place. "Ookay," I say while looking around at nothing specific, and my voice comes out exactly like the voice of a woman who did not just get her hand left in the air in front of her father and twenty strangers. My father notices the situation Rose created and says her name the way you say something when you want it to mean more than one thing at once. "Rose." "I know, I know." She sighs before he can finish, one hand going to her temple. "I'm exhausted, Victor. I haven't slept in hours, my whole body isn't cooperating—" She exhales, quiet and strained. "I'm sorry. I'm not — I'm not good right now." A very clean pivot. From awkward tension to apology without ever actually apologizing for the specific thing. My father sighs heavily before turning to the two young men and somethin

Chapter 257. What are you hiding?

**Stella's POV** There is a particular kind of dread that comes with a phone call that starts with an apology and no explanation. I slow my pace without thinking. “What do you mean you’re sorry, Riley? Is everything okay?” “It’s Frank. Something happened to him at work, and I had to leave Noah early. I know I should have texted—I kept meaning to, but it was—” Oh. It’s just Frank. Nothing to do with Noah. The breath I let out is small, but heavy. “Is he alright?” I ask, keeping my tone neutral. “Yes. Yes, he’s stable. Just a minor injury. And if you’re calling about Noah, he’s with Maria. I made sure he ate and had his bath before I left. I would never just—” “It’s okay,” I cut in gently. “I’ll call Maria and have her bring him to where I am. We’ll talk later.” “Stella, I’m really sorry—” “Yeah. I know.” I end the call and stop just inside the exit while the group continues ahead. Joe lingers half a step behind me, waiting in that quiet, practiced way of his as I think t

Chapter 258. Tell the truth.

**Stella’s POV** My father’s question hangs in the air. What are you hiding from me? For a second, no one answers. Shawn doesn’t move. I don’t either. Then— “Alright, that’s enough.” Rose steps in smoothly, like she has done this a hundred times before. Her voice is calm, but firm in that quiet way that still gets people to listen. She touches my father’s arm lightly. “Honey, you just got off a long flight,” she says. “You need to get home and rest. You can question Shawn and your daughter after that. Please.” There’s a pause. My father looks at her, then at me, then at Shawn again. I can see it in his eyes—he’s not done with this. Not even close. But Rose doesn’t move her hand. She waits. And somehow… that works. He exhales. “Fine,” he says, like he’s giving in, but not really. “Let’s get me home before my wife has a brain spasm about me not resting.” Rose gives a small, satisfied smile and we all file out of the busy airport terminal. --- The

Chapter 259. Irreplaceable.

**Stella's POV** I tilt my head—just enough in my father's direction—and mouth silently to Shawn, 'You better go. Now. Tell him everything.' Shawn gives the slightest shake of his head again, so subtle no one else would notice. What the hell, my jaw tighten. I step slightly closer to him, and I keep my voice low enough that it belongs only to the two of us. "What are you doing? Go tell him the truth now." "This isn't a good time," he says quietly. Like he has already thought this through and arrived at a conclusion without consulting me. "Not a good time," I repeat, frowning. "No." "Shawn." I look at him steadily. "When exactly is the good time going to be? Because from where I'm standing, every time has been the wrong time and somehow the days keep passing." "The family is here." He keeps his voice even. "You want me to pull him aside in the middle of all of this and tell him that I stole from him?" "I want you to stop carrying a secret that he deserves to know
