I said coldly,flexing my stinging hand,"are for every year I bled for you,every night I thought loyalty meant something,every shred of dignity I swallowed while you looked through me as if I were invisible." Jasper's wolf flared,fury sparking in his eyes—but I didn't flinch. I swept my gaze across the stunned office,my wolf's aura pressing down on every single one of them. Then,through the crowd,I caught a familiar face. I smiled at Beta Timothy. "The paperwork and transition are already complete. Let the pack know: Freya has left Stone Lake." And then I walked away,head high,bloodied but unbroken. The shards crunched under my heels like punctuation marks. Behind me,the Alpha of Stone Lake s

At the Silverpine Pack's annual winter market, Dad bought a Christmas chocolate bar for Chloe and one for me. I accepted mine happily, but Chloe burst into tears. "Why does she get the same thing as me? Ever since she came along, I haven't been your only baby anymore!" Mom immediately took the chocolate bar from my hand. "Chloe can have this one too.

One month later, I bought my first warehouse site in a lake town to the south.

“A proud Alpha like you won't bow and beg my forgiveness. And I don't need you to. Let's each keep this last shred of dignity and say goodbye properly.” I turned and walked toward the figure who'd been watching me from the gate. Rowan stood there, his eyes anxious, but he didn't come over. He was leaving me this stretch of open ground to settle things.

They had driven for twenty minutes before realizing I wasn’t in the car. When he called, panic filled his voice. “Ariana, why didn’t you get back in? I thought you were in the back seat.” Bianca’s voice came clearly through the phone. “She isn’t a child, Dante. You don’t have to turn around for her.” I laughed bitterly.
