Chapter 1

I went over to them and looked at the she-wolf dressed as a succubus.She was beautiful. Red lipstick, a gorgeous figure—and she knew it.No wonder my father, who normally wouldn't leave the house in anything but a suit and tie, was willing to wear matching costumes with her.Instead of pushing her away, he flirted with her in front of everyone.Right then, I was glad I'd come as a plague doctor. The long-beaked mask covered my face, and the black robe hid the rest of me.So even though I was standing right in front of him, my father didn't recognize me.I kept my tone light. "Hi! You look gorgeous as a succubus. Is this your mate? The two of you look perfect together."My father and the she-wolf both turned to look at me. I clenched my fists out of sight.Luckily, neither of them noticed anything.Resentment flickered in the she-wolf's eyes at my question, but she quickly hid it.She smiled shyly, clearly pleased."Not officially mates yet, but we're very good together."My father loo

When I got home, the table was already set with all the food she'd made.Half the dishes were my favorites. The other half were my father's.She smiled when she saw me."You're home. The pie is almost ready."And then a trace of bitterness crept into her smile."Your father is working late tonight, though. He can't make it home for dinner."Watching her struggle to smile made my eyes sting.My father had kept up the act so well all these years.He worried about my mother's stomach, so he had breakfast ready for her every morning.When I was in high school, he worried that the pressure was too much for me. He put his career on hold to stay by my side for an entire school year.Just a few days ago, my mother had happily told me she wanted them to spend their 30th anniversary on an island somewhere.There would never be a 30th anniversary.Those 20 happy years suddenly felt like nothing but an illusion he'd created for us.She reached over to wipe my face, looking heartbroken. Only then d

Early the next day, my mother and I were on the second floor, watching people come and go below.My father was sitting far too close to Sylvia when he called me."Selina, did the two of you eat breakfast? Your mother has a sensitive stomach, so make sure she has some hot soup."I scoffed inwardly.Was he really worried about my mother's health, or was he just making sure we were at home and wouldn't show up to ruin his plans? Only he knew.I smiled mockingly but kept my voice casual. "Don't worry, we're eating right now. I'll make sure she has her soup."He was visibly relieved."Good. The event is about to start, and I have things to do here. When it's over, I'll take you both out for a nice dinner."As soon as the call ended, Sylvia quietly took his hand.My father hesitated but didn't pull away. Instead, he closed his hand around hers.Disgusted, I looked away and turned to my mother.She stared at their joined hands without blinking."The last time he and I went to a board meeting

My father's smile froze when he heard my voice."Selina, why are you here?"I laughed at him."To watch a cheating wolf—a piece of garbage—shamelessly promote himself in front of a room full of people!"The crowd below erupted. Camera shutters clicked nonstop, and the flashes washed my father's face in white light.He hesitated for a long moment, then tried to calm me down."Selina, take it easy. It isn't what you think. We're business partners."You're young and there's a lot you don't understand. Let me explain after the event, all right?"His expression was as gentle as the day I'd accidentally broken a glass and he'd held my hands, asking if I'd cut myself.Now all I could see was a lie."Stop making excuses. Did you really think nobody would find out what the two of you have been doing?"I was the plague doctor who talked to you on Halloween!"My father's eyes widened, and Sylvia shot out of her chair.Their reactions sent the room into an uproar."Look at them. They're panicking.

My father stared at her as if he couldn't believe she would say something so final."Isabelle, you... you have to be joking, don't you?"We love each other. I love you more than anything. There isn't any other evidence. Don't let Selina fool you!"My mother gave him a smile without a trace of warmth."A man who actually loved me wouldn't give me an anniversary ring that didn't fit. He certainly wouldn't give the same ring to his so-called business partner."Do you really love me, or are you just afraid to admit you cheated? Afraid I'll pull my investment and let your company go under?"My father dissolved into tears, begging her in front of everyone. "No, Isabelle, stop."At least don't humiliate me in front of all these people. I'll explain it to you both in private."My mother looked at him coldly."After everything you did, you still expect us to let you save face?"Elias, a cheating wolf deserves to be condemned by everyone here. You had this coming."My mother signaled to the assi

The cameras in the room captured every humiliating detail of my father and Sylvia's downfall.Unless something unexpected happened, news of their betrayal would spread through the entire pack in under ten minutes.I followed my mother down the stairs, and the reporters closed in around us at once."Ms. Thorne, what do you plan to do now?""Selina, what do you think of your father cheating?"My mother answered plainly, "First, I'm pulling my investment out of Elias's company."I nodded."Yes. We're not giving him any more chances. He's nothing to us but a disgrace."My father pushed through the crowd and stepped in front of us."No. Please don't do this."Isabelle, I'll change. Please give me one more chance."I stepped in front of my mother and gave him a cold look."No. No one will accept a wolf who can't stay loyal. Get away from us."My mother looked at him one last time and left with me.Back home, she immediately told the staff to pack up all my father's belongings and put them ou

My father froze.Then he snapped out of it and shook his head desperately."No, you can't do that, Isabelle."You know how much breaking a bond hurts. For your own sake, don't do this."My mother shook her head without hesitation."I know it'll hurt."But I'd rather face that pain once and have peace afterward than stay bonded to you."My father stared at her for a long time before lowering his head with a nervous twitch."I understand. You're still angry with me."You're angry about Sylvia, aren't you? I'll go and cut her off right now!"With that, he got to his feet and stumbled away.I turned to my mother."If he really does cut that she-wolf off, will you forgive him?"She shook her head without hesitating."No. That would only make me think less of him."A few days later, my mother's assistant brought us more news.Sylvia had been fired outright after the press conference.She'd found work as a clerk at a small company, but my father showed up and cost her that job too.Once insep

The entire way there, my father couldn't believe my mother would actually go this far.Only when we entered the council building did despair settle over his face.He clung to the doorframe and refused to go in."No, I won't! If I go in there, we're finished for good. I won't accept this!"My mother gave a dismissive wave and had the bodyguards drag him inside."We should have been finished the moment you betrayed me."Inside the chamber, the Elders of the Werewolf Council sat at a round table, waiting for the hearing to start.My father stayed slumped on a bench with his head down, as if he couldn't face what was happening.As their daughter and a witness, I submitted the evidence I'd gathered."My father, Elias, betrayed my mother by having a long affair with Sylvia."The evidence is conclusive. The harm he's done to my mother and me cannot be undone."We ask the Council to dissolve their mate bond immediately so my mother can be left in peace."The head of the Council took the file a
