I caught her slipping something into Eldreth’s pocket, her fingers moving with careful precision. Our ayas met in the rearst quickly looked away, but not before I saw that flash of guilt cross her face. My grip lightened on the steering wheel antiling lam white

What new scheme was she plotting now? First that college boy with his pathetic rose, and now she was practically cuddling with one of the most respected healers in all the packs? The sight of Eldreth’s head resting against her shoulder made something dark and possessive tale inside me. I’d never seen her look so… tender with anyone besides our children.

When we arrived, I knocked sharply on the window, unable to hide my glare as she opened the door and stepped out into the cool night air,

“Stay away from him,” I commanded as she moved to help Eldreth out of the car.

She ignored me completely and turned to the hotel greeter who had approached. “Be careful with him, he’s asleep,” she said, her voice gentle

with concern.

“Stupid woman,” I muttered under my breath, just loud

enough for her to hear. “He’s not asleep. He’s unconscious.“

I saw alarm flash across her face, and something tightened in my chest. She actually looked concerned for him. For this man she barely knew. The worry in her eyes was genuine, unlike the cold, clinical gaze she’d always given me.

“What?” I snapped, unable to contain my irritation. “Are you

get into the hotel so you can access his room?

Her whole demeanor changed instantly, that familiar fire igniting in her eyes. “Don’t test my patience, Alpha Tristan,” she shot back, her voice cold and controlled. “I’m only being civil with you because you now have my children, and I’m not an ungrateful person. You took in my family after winning the war, which is enough for me to accept you as my Alpha. But don’t mistake my calmness for inability to fight back.”

I felt my expression harden into a mask, hiding the way her words cut deeper than they should have. They shouldn’t have affected me at all. I shouldn’t care what she thought of me.

“You disgust me,” she added, her voice dropping to a near whisper. “I don’t understand how I ever loved someone like you.”

My wolf growled within me, furious and wounded. I watched her turn away, her shoulders set in that stubborn angle I knew too well, as she started walking toward the street, intending to call a taxi.

“Don’t act like you’re some proper lady,” I called after her, my voice rising despite my efforts to remain cold. “You always have excuses for everything you do, but you fabricated lies to force me to mark you.”

She froze mid–step, then slowly turned back to face me. Her eyes were shining with unshed tears of anger, and for a moment, I caught a glimpse of the Lysandra I’d once known–fierce, determined, unbreakable.

“I’ve heard enough about that night, Tristan,” she said, her voice trembling with emotion. “You believe I manipulated the marriage, right? Fine, then. Yes, I plotted against you. I never wanted you, only your position.”

I hadn’t expected her to confess so easily. The confirmation should have validated what I’d believed for years. Instead, it felt like she’d gutted

1. me.

I took a threatening step toward her, feeling my wolf rising to the surface, my vision tinged with red.

“You admit it? You finally fucking admit you used the prophecy to deceive me and my family?”

Instead of backing down, she stepped forward, her face inches from mine as she shouted, “Yes! I admit it! Now are you satisfied? You have your
