Author's povMaggie's brow tightened at Cassian's words. She hadn't seen this coming.After Cassian and Martha disappeared for so long, she figured Belinda had stepped in when her own people failed.But that was just a guess. She never got the chance to confirm it, and Belinda hadn't sent a single message.Maybe she'd celebrated too soon. Maybe Belinda had already left Colorado Springs without interfering tonight. Maybe Cassian and Martha had simply been delayed picking up those socalled "friends. "The thought that her earlier sense of victory might have been nothing but wishful thinking hit her like a punch to the gut."What friends ? "Zane asked, pushing his glasses up his nose, a nervous habit he'd never quite shaken.Maggie's sharp gaze snapped to him, catching the quick flicker of tension in his eyes. A dangerous thought hit her.[ Could it be Zane's secret child ? Had Martha found out about an illegitimate heir and planned to show them off tonight ? ]Cassian's grin turned sly

Author's povAs guests tried to make sense of why Alpha Sebastian had entered with them, Martha was already steering Cecilia toward the center of the ballroom.Wherever Martha moved, the Locke clan followed like planets orbiting a sun.Several of Colorado Springs' most powerful families drifted closer too, curiosity pulling them in.By the time she stopped, the entire room's attention had zeroed in on their small group.Even though Cecilia had less than ten minutes to get ready, she still looked incredible. Her pale gray chiffon dress floated around her like mist over a lake, soft and weightless. The simple style only made her stand out even more in the crowd."Mother. "Zane took a few quick steps forward, his gaze locked on Cecilia. He opened his mouth to speak, but the words caught somewhere between his chest and throat.Maggie walked up in her heels, smiling like she owned the place. "Mother, did you go pick up Miss Moore yourself ? What a coincidence,I've seen her a few times latel

Author's povMaggie let out a bitter laugh that cut through the silence of the ballroom."Am I making this up ?"Her voice shook with anger she could barely control. "This whole spectacle was planned just to humiliate me, wasn't it ?"The tension in the room was thick enough to choke on.Everyone else seemed frozen, watching the scene unfold like a high-stakes power play."I pretended not to know. I tried to protect your reputation,"she said, her eyes locked on Zane. "And how did you repay me ? You plotted behind my back, knowing I had no power to fight you !"She threw out a hand toward Cecilia, who stood still beside Alpha Sebastian.Alpha Sebastian moved a little, his shoulders straight and tense, his whole posture making it clear that Cecilia was under his protection."You're so shameless,"Maggie's voice rose. "You talk about the ‘true Locke heiress' right in front of me ! So my children mean less than some stranger's bastard ?"A low growl came from Alpha Sebastian's chest, quiet b

Author's povAn hour later, the celebration was officially over.Most of the guests had been politely shown out, leaving only the Blacks, Coles, and Lawsons behind.Why were they still here ? Because the night wasn't finished yet.Martha had gathered everyone in the main house's grand receiving room.Some announcements needed witnesses, while others were better kept private.The room was huge, with high ceilings, polished wood floors, and enough seats for a hundred people.Four elegant sofa sets stood in the center, and Martha gestured for the Cole patriarch and the other elders to take the main seats."Please, sit wherever you like, "she said to the rest, though most instinctively grouped up with their own packs.A huge crystal chandelier hung above them, spreading light over silk dresses and diamond jewelry.The room looked like something from a luxury magazine, perfect on the outside but tense inside.Everyone sat up straight, pretending to stay calm while curiosity and doubt filled

Author's povThe Cole patriarch finally snapped. With a roar that froze the air, he hurled his crystal tumbler at Zane's feet, glass exploding across the polished floor."You two disgusting creatures should rot in hell ! "he shouted, his voice raw with decades of buried rage.The room went dead silent. Philip Lawson, who'd tried to grab his arm a moment too late, stood frozen mid-motion.No one blamed him. After losing both his daughter and grandson, watching Zane and Maggie flaunt their twisted affection was more than any father could take.The Coles had already lost everything. Those two should have been begging for forgiveness, not performing their love story for the people they'd destroyed.Martha lowered her head, shame stiffening her shoulders. Her voice came out small, almost mechanical. "Please forgive my son, "she murmured. She couldn't meet anyone's eyes.Maggie had turned pale, her usual calm and graceful look completely gone.Zane wiped the spilled drink from his pants and
