“I trusted you,” he said. His voice was low, rough. “I stood in that room defending you, trying to understand you, trying to believe you didn’t want any of that-”

“I didn’t.” I said firmly. “I swear-”

“Then why were you with him? Why are you still sitting with him? Why did you follow him? Why aren’t you angry? Why weren’t you fighting him off?”

All of those questions hit me like stones because I didn’t have a single answer.

“I don’t know,” I whispered. “I can’t explain the pull. I can’t explain last night. I can’t explain anything.”

“That’s the problem,” he snapped. “You can’t explain it. You just keep repeating what you don’t know while I’m standing here watching my wife–my mate–walking toward another man like he has some kind of link to you.”

“That’s not true,” I said. “I don’t feel anything for him. I don’t want him. I don’t-”

“Then what the hell was that video?” His voice rose. “What was that kiss? What was today? You left our home angry. You blocked the link. And the next thing I see is you in his arms and now I left to get some air and I got a calm that my wife is meeting up with a foe.”

“It wasn’t like that.”

“Do you even hear yourself?” he said. He looked exhausted, defeated. “You talk like you don’t care what this is doing to us.”

“That’s not fair.”

He stepped closer, eyes sharp. “Answer me one thing. If I hadn’t walked in… would you have stayed with him longer?”

I felt something break inside me.

“I don’t know.”

He stared at me like he couldn’t believe what he heard. His wolf flared hard, and before I could step back, he growled and pushed me away from him. The shove wasn’t meant to injure me, but it was forceful. It knocked me off balance, both physically and mentally.

I stood there stunned. He looked just as shocked at himself, but he didn’t say anything. He turned away again, shoulders stiff and breathing hard.

I swallowed down the sting in my throat. “Daniel… Please don’t walk away again. Please.”

He didn’t turn. “I can’t talk to you right now. I need to think. I need space before I say something I won’t be

able to take back.”

He walked off, leaving me standing alone on the quiet street, feeling like the entire world had tilted sideways.

I didn’t follow him this time.

I couldn’t.

I stood there for minutes, trying to steady myself. I touched my lips, trying to understand how they could have touched Mark’s at all. Trying to understand how I could sit with him without feeling anger. Trying to understand the hollow feeling in my chest where my memories should have been.

Something was wrong with me. I knew it. Something deeper than stress or rage or bad decisions.

And whatever it was, it had now pushed Daniel further from me than he had ever been.

I stayed standing there until the sky shifted colors. I had no idea what I was supposed to do next, but I knew one thing clearly:

Someone wanted to ruin us.

And if I didn’t figure out why, fast, I was going to lose the only man I had ever trusted with my whole life.

I went back to the Carter estate because I didn’t know where else to go. My head felt like it was full of static. Every step toward the house made me more irritated with myself.

I couldn’t remember last night. I couldn’t explain the pull toward Mark. I couldn’t explain why I let myself sit with him. All of it made me feel sick.

The guards outside looked at me longer than usual. I didn’t blame them. If the video made it to Mrs. Carter, then half the estate probably heard something already. I kept my head down and walked straight into the house.

Mrs. Carter was standing in the main living room.

She didn’t say a word at first. She just looked at me. And the look wasn’t confusion or shock. It was disappointment–a heavy one that hit harder than Daniel’s anger.

I stopped a few feet from her. “Mother-”

“Don’t call me that right now,” she said sharply.

That shut me up fast. Her tone wasn’t loud, but it had weight. It wasn’t the stern tone she used when the board messed up or when Daniel pushed himself too far. This one was personal. Direct. Cold.

She folded her arms and stared at me like she didn’t recognize me. “I saw the video.”

My chest tightened. “It’s not what it looks like.”

She gave a short, humorless laugh. “That line is older than I am.”

“That’s not fair,” I said quietly. “I didn’t plan any of that. I don’t even remember half of yesterday. Something is wrong. I’m trying to figure it out.”

“And in the meantime,” she cut in, “you put my son through hell. You walked out on him. You cut the mind- link. Then you ended up in a hotel kissing a man who has done nothing but cause problems for this family.”

I lowered my head. “I know how it looks… but I didn’t choose it.”

Her eyes narrowed. “You didn’t choose to leave home? You didn’t choose to block your mate out? You didn’t choose to sit with Mark today at an eatery like nothing happened?”

I swallowed hard 1 can’t explain that part. I felt something pulling me. I didn’t understand it. I still don’t”

She shook her head slowly. “The only thing I understand is that you hurt him. I’ve seen my son angry. frustrated, stressed, even reckless. But today? I saw someshing worse. I saw a man who looked like he’d been stabbed in the back by the one person he trusted most.

“I’m not lying.” I whispered. “I wouldn’t do that to him. Not willingly.”

Mrs. Carter’s expression didn’t soften. If anything, it hardened. “I believed you were good for him. 1 defended you when others doubted you. I stood by you when people thought you were too inexperienced. too emotional, too reckless for a Luna. I told them you were loyal, I told them you were trustworthy.”

I forced myself to meet her eyes.

“And now,” she finished, “I don’t know what to tell them

“Let me fix this.”

She stepped back. “Fix yourself first.”

I reached out slightly. “Please. Just listen-‘
