Ella's POV"Lily!" I called out immediately."Mommy!" Lily exclaimed.The moment she saw me, her face lit up. She waved at me excitedly, but the circle of bodyguards surrounding her kept her from moving.My heart ached with guilt as I hurried over."I'm sorry I came so late. I'll never make you wait for me at school again, I promise."She didn't blame me at all. Instead, she was so understanding it broke my heart."I know you had something really important to do, something that could change your future. I won't hold you back, Mommy."Those innocent words took on a completely different meaning in Damien's ears.His gaze swept past me and landed on Nathan standing behind me, the Alpha aura radiating from him turning dark and oppressive."Ella, I haven't officially rejected you yet, remember? Are you really that desperate and horny?""I'm desperate for you to get out of my life," I shot back, meeting his eyes without flinching."Damien, we're already splitting up. Why are you still tryin

Ella's POVI could feel Lily's hands clammy with cold sweat as she clutched my fingers."But you're my brother. We were so close when we were little, playing together every single day." Her voice trembled. "But after I became stronger than you and you couldn't defeat me anymore, you stopped playing with me. You even looked for chances to make fun of me. Even Daddy likes you more."She looked up at Noah, her eyes red with tears. "Noah, even if you apologize, I won't forgive you."She then turned to Damien. "Daddy, can I stop being your daughter? What would it take for me to never go back to the pack?"Damien's nostrils flared, his eyes blazing with fury."Lily Gray," he growled, "you will always be my daughter and one of the most important members of the Blackwood Pack."Lily pursed her lips. "Then...can I change my family name? I want to take Mommy's surname instead."From now on, I'll be Lily Winters."Damien bared his

Ella's POVZach and the movers stepped out of the elevator, hauling the heavy workout equipment toward the moving truck."Oh, come on, don't be so tense. I'm not here to stir up trouble," Chloe said, leaning against the brick wall. She watched the movers sweat and strain, letting out a theatrical sigh."I was just passing by, but saw you like this, Zach... Honestly, I feel sorry for you. A combat gym this popular, wiped out overnight. It just so happens that a few of my friends have retail spaces for rent. Want me to put in a word for you to lower the rent? After all, money must be... pretty tight for you guys right now, right?"I tossed the trash bags into the dumpster and clapped the dust off my hands."Don't worry," I said, looking her dead in the eye. "Even if the sky were falling, you'd be the very last person I'd ever ask for help."What Chloe didn't know was that Zach actually owned this entire five-story commercial building.T

Ella's POVAs if something had just occurred to him, Damien smirked."Oh right, I almost forgot about your secret admirer, Nathan Locke. He's a lawyer, isn't he? Of course he'd be happy to represent you. But I'll report the two of you to the Werewolf Council. I'll tell them he's been in love with you for years—that's an undeniable conflict of interest. No way they'll let him serve as your attorney."I tightened my hands into fists at my sides."Damien, don't go too far!""See? This is who I really am," Damien said. "Welcome to the actual, brutal werewolf world, sweetheart. I hope all those years being sheltered in the pack didn't leave you as naive as a five-year-old."A chill ran through me. Had everything I'd done lately been for nothing? None of it brought me any closer to freedom?Had every victory I'd celebrated simply been him loosening his grip on purpose—just to make his little game more entertaining?Damien watched every flicker of emotion on my face with quiet satisfaction.

Ella's POVDamien's furious voice came through the phone, and from the way he spoke, it sounded like he was questioning someone. I could only catch bits and pieces of what he said: "my child's birthday," "flew twelve hours back," and "trying to take someone else's mate."Nathan listened quietly. The faint smile on his face slowly disappeared. He stood and walked over to the window, turning his back to me as he spoke in a low voice."Ella and Lily are the most important guests in this hotel. I need to make sure they get a good night's rest."Then he ended the call.The room fell silent. The only sound was the occasional distant car horn outside, faint and lonely.Nathan placed his phone on the table and turned to face me."He thinks I spent the night in your room. I didn't correct him." He paused for a moment. "Do you mind?"I shook my head.The mate bond between Damien and me had already been completely severed. I didn't
