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 want I hav

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. This is inappropriate.

**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." But 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 and handsome. "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 m

Chapter 24. 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 her,

Chapter 25. You're hacking into his accounts?

**Stella's POV** I unzip the first bag which has clothes and my breath catches because they are all dsigner labels. There is a sleek black dress that probably costs more than I used to make in a month. Silk blouses in jewel tones. Tailored blazers. Pencil skirts. And the shoes that look like they belong on a runway. "This is too much," I mutter, rifling through another bag. Everything screams wealth and sophistication. The kind of polished elegance that says I belong in Victor Ace's world. But I don't feel like it yet. This whole revelation that he is my father hasn't yet sinked into my skull. 'You could try,' Piper suggests tentatively. "No." I shake my head firmly. "I don't want to wear uncomfortable clothing I will end up fidgeting with." I dig deeper into the bags until I find something simpler. A pair of dark skinny jeans—still expensive, I can tell from the fabric, but they don't scream expensive. They are just nice and classic. Then I find a white top that mak

Chapter 26. I can't control myself.

**Stella's POV** Shawn moves to my father's desk, pulling my father's laptop toward him. His fingers fly over the keyboard with practiced ease. "All packs use a standard banking system for their financial management. Security is decent, but not impenetrable. I'm sure I can get into Cole's system without any trouble." I watch, fascinated, as he works the computer. "You're hacking into his accounts?" Patricia asks, sounding both impressed and concerned. "I'm accessing information that should be public record for pack finances," Shawn says smoothly. "The High Council requires all packs to maintain transparent financial records. If Cole's been hiding his, that's on him." More typing and then Shawn's eyes light up with something that might be satisfaction. "Got it." He turns the laptop screen so we can all see clearly. I see multiple offshore accounts. Transfers to shell companies. Payments to mysterious recipients that have no business connection to the pack. "Is that—"

Chapter 27. Victor only goes to the best.

**Stella's POV**Shawn doesn't answer my question. He just lets the silence stretch thick until I can't take it anymore."Well, will you answer me?" I ask impatiently."Your father is expecting us for dinner." His voice is cold again, like I didn't just throw myself at him."What?" I blink rapidly at his statement, the tension momentarily defused."Dinner with your dad. Let's go now." He says, walking past me."But wait—what about my clothes?" I gesture toward the bags stacked in the office. " I can't just leave them here."He doesn't even pause. "I'll have someone send them to my house."Of course he has someone to do that for him but he won't help me with my situation. I roll my eyes but don't bother arguing.I can't believe this guy.'He is so selfish,' Piper says sadly, but I refuse to let his response get to me. Yes, this is probably the heatwave talking, but the least he could do is not turn me down like Cole did."Fine," I manage. I've humiliated myself enough for one day beca

Chapter 28. Fake girlfriend.

**Stella's POV** I force myself to breathe and think how best he needs me to play the fake girlfriend. I lean into him, trying to look natural even though my heart is racing. "Yes," I manage, surprised by how steady my voice sounds. "They do." Vanessa's perfectly made-up face hardens. Her eyes narrow as she looks between us, clearly trying to find the lie. "How... quaint." The word drips with condescension. "When and where did you two meet?" There's a beat of silence. I can feel Shawn's fingers flex against my hip. I better step up. "That's private," I say, lifting my chin and channeling that confidence the lingerie gave me earlier. Vanessa's smile doesn't reach her eyes. "Of course it is." She turns her attention back to Shawn, essentially dismissing me. "Shawn, when you get tired of playing house with this... Omega... you know where to find me." The emphasis on "omega" is designed to cut and make me feel inadequate. And it works. But before I can respond, Shawn

Chapter 29. A billionaire she has been stalking.

**Stella's POV** "I know. He's expecting me. If you could just—" "I'm sorry," she cuts me off, her smile never wavering. "But Mr. Ace is one of our most distinguished guests. We can't simply let anyone claim to be meeting him." "I'm not claiming," I say, frustration creeping into my voice. "I am meeting him. If you could just call him—" "Miss." The younger receptionist steps forward. "This is our fine dining establishment. We have a dress code." Her eyes pointedly rake over my jeans again. "Perhaps you're looking for the cafe downstairs?" Heat floods my face. "No. I'm supposed to be here." "Really?" The blonde's perfectly shaped eyebrow arches. "May I ask the nature of your... meeting with Mr. Ace?" I hesitate. I can't tell them I'm his daughter and risk word getting out. "It's... a business meeting." The moment the words leave my mouth, I know I've made a mistake. The younger receptionist actually smirks. "A business meeting? In jeans?" "With Victor Ace?" The bl

Chapter 30. Do I have siblings?

**Stella's POV** A few minutes later, I'm calm enough to notice the restaurant interior is even more breathtaking than the reception area. Crystal chandeliers cast a warm, golden glow over tables draped in pristine white linens. Each place setting features more silverware than I've ever seen at one meal. The other diners are all dressed impeccably—suits, designer dresses, jewelry that catches the light. I feel every eye on us as we're led to a private room with the VIP sign on top of the door. Or maybe I'm just paranoid after what happened at the entrance. Once in the VIP dining room, Victor pulls out my chair before the server can, a gesture that's both protective and gentle. Shawn takes the seat across from me, his dark eyes unreadable. "Wine?" Victor asks, already signaling the sommelier. "I—yes. Thank you." The sommelier appears with a bottle that probably costs thousands. He pours a small amount for Victor to taste, receives an approving nod, and fills our glasses
