Richard's POVThe door opened, and Martins, my beta and secretary stepped in cautiously."Alpha Richard," he began, his tone respectful, "we’ve confirmed that Starfall Entertainment is behind the trending topic. They admitted it outright.”My eyes narrowed. My wolf growled softly, displeased but not surprised.Martins hesitated, then continued. "This was a direct strike, Alpha. It's clear Ceres orchestrated it. Normally, you’d have retaliated by now, but..." He trailed off, glancing at my tense form.I could barely contain my fury as I leaned forward in my swivel chair.Martins cleared his throat, forcing himself to continue."Alpha, the PR team suggests distancing yourself from Anita. It would safeguard the company’s interests. However," he added cautiously, "doing so could raise questions about young Lucky’s lineage."My wolf rumbled low in my chest, a clear sign of his displeasure.Martins forged on. "If you don’t distance yourself and choose instead to suppress the topic, it will

Richard's POVWhen I saw Ceres walk into the banquet hall with Alpha Justin by her side, my wolf growled lowly, barely contained beneath my cool exterior.I had ensured the invitation list excluded her name, hoping to avoid another confrontation. Yet, here she was, defying me once again.An uneasy irritation gnawed at me, growing stronger with each step she took into the hall. Memories of her anguish from the last gathering, her desperate plea to end our bond, clawed at my mind. My chest tightened at the thought of the pup we had lost—my firstborn, gone before it could even take its place in the pack.Would this banquet, celebrating another child that wasn’t hers, deepen her pain? I wondered.My wolf howled softly in the back of my mind. I was torn between frustration and guilt. Seeing her dazzling smile as she spoke to Alpha Justin tore at my insides; it felt like a sharp blade against my chest.I asked myself what she was doing here. Does she want to prove she’s thriving without me?

Richard's POVUpon hearing my words, my father raised his head, his sharp, stern eyes locking with mine."What did you just say?"My mum froze. She stared at me in utter disbelief."Richard, what nonsense are you talking about?"Meeting my father's intense gaze, I took a deep breath, my voice steady despite the storm brewing within me."Dad, have you forgotten? You have another son. Lucky is Jackson's only child—and he has Alpha blood in his veins."My father was completely startled by this revelation, his expression growing solemn. My mother's face twisted with fury, and without warning, she lunged angrily at me."You bastard!" she hissed. "Why would you bring his child into this pack? That boy was born to that woman who dared to defy James and this family. He's not James's son, and he's certainly not one of us!"I stepped back but didn't retaliate. Even though my mother's words cut deep, the truth was undeniable."Are you out of your mind?" she continued. "His existence is no busine

Richard's POVAt my words, Ceres raised an eyebrow slightly, her demeanor calm. She neither confirmed nor denied my question, simply meeting my gaze with icy indifference."Do you have any proof?"Her lack of denial only heightened my agitation."Why?" I asked, my tone raw with conflicting emotions. "Do you still love me? Or do you hate me?"Ceres's expression didn't waver, and I continued, my words tumbling out as though I had no choice but to say them."Lucky isn't my pup. I promised Jackson I'd look after them, that's all. Keeping it a secret was the only way I could protect them. Now that you know the truth… does it make you feel better?"A flicker of something—relief?—bubbled up within me. I had laid my cards on the table, and for a moment, I dared to hope. Would she come back?Ceres remained composed. Her cold gaze flicked to me, and a sharp sneer curled her lips."Alpha Richard," she said coolly, "your secrets don't interest me. But I must say, you've outdone yourself—playing p

Ceres's POVAs soon as the familiar voice of Richard's grandmother reached me, I shifted my gaze and saw her approaching with Richard's grandfather. My heart instantly dropped. **They think the man sitting opposite me is Richard!**Jason, sensing something, turned his head at the sound of approaching footsteps, causing Luna Benita to stop dead in her tracks. Her sharp eyes widened in surprise as she realized the man seated with me was not her grandson.Quickly covering her mouth, she spun around, flustered. "Oh, goodness! My mistake. I thought you were someone else. Carry on, enjoy your dinner!"Trailing behind her, Alpha Charles furrowed his brow. His gaze lingered on me for a moment, his expression softening. "That's Ceres..."Luna Benita shot him a warning glare, but Alpha Charles squinted harder. "Wait. That's not Richard."As soon as realization dawned on him, he coughed awkwardly. "Apologies. We made a mistake."Sensing the growing tension, I stood up with a polite smile and app
