I sprinted across the street, throwing Tim’s heavy body onto the pavement as I slid on my knees beside my fallen frame. “Tim! Tim, open your eyes!” I sobbed, Tim’s massive hands shaking violently as I gently cradled my own pale, bruised face. A thin streak of dark blood trickled from my hairline, and my body was trembling, gasping for air in tiny, painful wheezes. “Stella...” Tim groaned, my squeaky voice coming out fractured and weak. His brown eyes flickered open, filled with tears as he looked up at me. “I’m... I’m sorry... I ruined... your body...”

Something quieter than fear. Something that had been sitting underneath everything tonight and was only now finding its way to the surface. “Leon,” she said. “Yes.” “The baby switch.” She held my gaze carefully. “If it’s true. If we really were switched.” She paused. “What does that make us?”

My breath hitches, my heart hammering violently against my ribs as my eyes drop to the blood-red runes stamped at the bottom of the parchment: "By decree of the High Alpha Council: Joxie Whitlock's unshifted human status is hereby revoked from the Whitlock Cottage registry and reassigned directly to the Hawkridge Alpha Den under the supreme custody of Lord Celt Hawkridge."

“Your real son was swapped out a long time ago.” Sam lifted the tablet and pressed play. Susan’s voice came through the speaker. “While Eason goes on a business trip, quietly kill the real Lucas and make sure no trace is left behind. “It’s freezing in winter. A kid dying on the roadside isn’t unusual…That way, Lucas won’t be around to inherit money from the Smith’s family…” Her sharp, vicious tone was nothing like the fragile woman she’d been when she was weeping against the bedframe.

It was Arun himself but he changed yeah because he found the need to change and... the need is Anjali"

It all made sense now! His quick agreement to my invitation that day, the hostility he showed toward Sadie, and his insistence that I retake the SATs—it all clicked. Tears of joy welled up in my eyes. "This is amazing! It's really amazing!" Quinn, once a star destined to fall tragically, had been given another chance, just like me.

I thought maybe I'd imagined it. It wasn't until the baby shower that the truth hit me. Damian, trying to make it a big deal, threw a joint party with Caleb and Betty. That's when I saw their son—and he had the same birthmark on his arm. I knew right then. They'd swapped my baby for theirs, wanting their kid to have the life mine was supposed to. I wanted to scream, call them out right there. But Rick, my real son, looked so tiny and fragile next to Hugo. It crushed me. Then I noticed how Betty was looking at Damian, and I swallowed the anger.

“Matthew and Clair…they wouldn’t do that. You’re telling me that they…what? Swapped their son of eighteen years- the kid they brought to Minnesota all the way from fucking California and raised for eighteen years-for some random amnesia patient? Why would they even do that? Where is the real Colton? Why would they lie to you?
