Chapter 21. How rich are you?

**Stella's POV** It's me. Or rather, it's a little girl who looks like me. Maybe four or five years old. Sitting on a man's shoulders, laughing at the camera. "That was two weeks before your mother told me you died," Victor says quietly. "I've looked at that photo every single day for nineteen years." My throat tightens. "I don't remember this." "You were so young." He gestures to the chairs. "Please. Sit. Both of you." I sink into a leather chair. Shawn takes the one beside me, silent as always. Victor sits across from us, and now that we're alone, I can see the full weight of emotion on his face. "I need to know," he says. "I need to know what happened to you. Where you've been. What—" His voice breaks. "What you've been through." I look down at the bruises still visible on my arms and sigh heavily. "It's not a pretty story," I whisper. "I don't care. I need to hear it." His voice is gentle but firm. "Please, Stella. Help me understand." So I tell him I have be

Chapter 22. Call me Stella.

**Stella's POV** My heart screams to go get my pups now... I want to storm Black River Pack and take Maya and Noah away from Cole before he can poison them any further against me. But my head knows Shawn is right. If we go in recklessly, we could lose everything. Cole is a fan favorite with the high council. We could lose against him and he could make it so I never get my pups back. "Shawn's right," I finally say, my voice barely above a whisper. "We need to be smart about this. For Maya and Noah's sake." Victor closes his eyes, clearly fighting his instincts. When he opens them again, there's resignation mixed with steel. "Fine. We do it smart." He looks at Shawn. "But I want a plan. A good one. And I want it fast." "Understood." Shawn pulls out his phone. "I'll contact our legal team immediately. We'll need documentation of the rejection, witnesses to the abuse, evidence that Cole is an unfit parent—" "I can provide all of that," I say quickly. "The rejection wound

Chapter 23.

**Stella's POV** Heat floods my cheeks. "I'm fine with Stella." "Well then." Something shifts in his expression—amusement, maybe, or interest. "Stella it is." The way he says my name makes my stomach flip. I cross my arms, trying to regain my composure. "And secondly, a simple 'I'm taking you to your father' would've saved us both a lot of drama, you know." Shawn smirks. "Would it have?" "Yes!" I throw my hands up. "Instead of sitting there being all broody and mysterious in the car, you could've just told me where we were going." "And you would've believed me?" He leans against the window frame, looking infuriatingly calm. "That I was taking you to meet your billionaire father who you thought was dead?" I open my mouth and close it because he is right. How can I believe a total stranger to my own mom??? "Exactly," he says, and I swear there's the ghost of a smirk on his lips. "You're insufferable," I mutter. "So you've mentioned." Heat floods my cheeks. "I ha

Chapter 23. It wasn't just attraction.

**Shawn's POV** I smell her sweet intoxicating arousal the moment it happens. My wolf—who's been dormant when it comes to sex for months, barely interested in any she wolf—suddenly surges to attention. 'Mate,' he growls. 'I want her.' 'Not mate,' I tell him firmly. 'This is just physical response to her arousal. Nothing more.' But my wolf doesn't care about logic. I've been celibate for months. And now Stella is standing in front of me, her back against the desk, her chest rising and falling rapidly. Her cheeks are flushed. Her pupils are dilated. Her lips are parted. And her scent— Goddess help me, her scent is driving me insane. She just confessed she's only ever been with one man. A man who made her feel broken. Who couldn't satisfy her. And now she's wondering what it would be like with someone else. The wolf in me wants to show her. Wants to prove that what she experienced with Cole wasn't normal or right. I brace my hands on the desk on either side of h
