Margot POV“Job hunting. I’ve already started looking.”“Don’t. Finish the resignation, then come work for me.”I stared at him. Words stuck.“You worried he’ll come after you or after me?”“Richard, you’ve already done more than enough. You don’t need this mess landing on you.”“‘Mess’ is too strong. You’re overthinking it. He’s executive president of the entire group. Going after a junior employee would look cheap. Alaska runs independently—he doesn’t touch our hiring. And he won’t pick a fight with me over this.”Richard’s eyes crinkled. “I make him too much money every year.”I couldn’t picture how far Rhett might go if he made things ugly.Every time we’d clashed, I’d seen a darker side.Richard’s confidence made sense.

Vivian POVDamp hair fell across Rhett's eyes, hiding half his expression.I'd always felt a certain distance between my son and me.Tonight, that distance seemed wider than ever.He was right in front of me, close enough to reach, yet somehow still beyond my grasp.“Are you here about Olivia, or about Margot?”Rhett slowly turned his head. In the dim light, his eyes were even harder to read.“You saw her.”I'd suspected the trip to Alaska meant he'd tracked Margot down.For the past year, Rhett had acted as though nothing was wrong.He'd never let his anger spill over in front of me.Instead, he'd buried himself in work and rarely came home.Something in me, perhaps nothing more than a mother's instinct, kept telling me he was slipping further away.Whispers from the company only made that feeling harder to ignore.People said Alpha Rhett Vanderbilt had grown increasingly short-tempered.Rhett tilted his glass, and the ice clicked against the sides.“I saw her.”“Is she... is she all

Rhett POVThe door opened again.I lunged. I had to get out. I had to find that scent.No one was locking me in. No one was taking what was mine.Then, my parents were there.The only people who could still reach a top-tier alpha in full spiral, not with dominance, but with blood and the old wiring that said family still mattered.I watched my father inject the sedative and forced myself not to fight.I ended up on my knees in front of my mother, repeating the same words until the dark took me.“Where’s Margot? Where’s my omega? Give me Margot.”Margot.Margot.Margot.The name kept looping like a curse. I grabbed my pounding head and rolled off the mattress onto the floor.Want and missing her chewed through every nerve. I needed her the way a starving man needs food. I required Margot. Now.I crawled to the door and st

Rhett POVShe was close enough that I caught the faint night-blooming scent.My fingers locked together until they hurt.I wanted to pull her in and didn’t.The rut from hell was over. I told myself not to spook the prey.She kept her eyes down.“What do you need?”“The child.”“Upstairs.”“My mother wants to see him.”Silence.She had no clean way to refuse.Without my mom, there would be no Brandon. The request was fair.“Where?”“The house.”“… I’m not going there.”I hesitated.“City apartment then.”She was quiet a moment.“Is it really your mother who wants to see Brandon?”“Brandon?”“His name.”“Yes. She would like to see him.”She drew a b

Margot POVEverything inside me locked.Old fantasies, old pain, old humiliation all rose at once.I’d imagined those words a hundred times.I’d gotten them twice. The first time he’d dismissed the whole idea of feeling anything.The second time he’d tried to cover a wasteland with a single flower.Hearing “like” from his mouth felt like a joke at my expense.Anger boiled up.“You don’t know what that word means.”The sharp look on my face made something crack in his expression.“I’ve wanted no one the way I want you. ‘Like’ isn’t only one definition. Someone saying it empty-handed counts, but me offering to take care of you for the rest of your life doesn’t?”My breathing went sharp.I’d never expected to say these things out loud, especially not to the person who’d inflicted
