I stood in my apartment, phone pressed to my ear as Sienna’s voice came through the line.
“Victoria found Celeste at the hospital,” she said quickly. “Your mother–in–law was visiting your mom, and
she ran into Celeste in the hallway. Celeste was there for her father Mason’s post–surgery checkup. They
met face to face, Violet. After they talked, Celeste ran out crying. Now Daemon can’t reach her, and he’s too
afraid to go to her parents‘ house because if they find out, she’ll be even more upset.”
I processed this quickly. “So Daemon thinks I told Victoria about Celeste.”
“Exactly,” Sienna confirmed.
I sat down on my couch. “I understand now. Victoria was in Daemon’s car before, when we went to the
shopping center. She smelled Celeste’s scent and memorized it. At the hospital, she recognized that same
scent and confronted her.”
“This might actually be better,” I said quietly. “At least the truth is out now.”
“Violet, be careful,” Sienna warned. “Daemon’s looking for someone to blame. You should call Victoria
directly, make sure everyone knows you had nothing to do with this.”
After we hung up, I didn’t call Victoria immediately. Instead, I changed into yoga clothes and spent an hour
stretching, trying to clear my head.
I was in the kitchen preparing dinner when my phone rang again. My father’s name appeared on the screen.
“Violet.” His voice was tight with anger. “I heard about Celeste Morrison.”
I gripped the counter. “Dad-”
“That bastard,” he cut me off. “I thought Daemon was trying to fix your relationship. And he’s been chasing
some college girl this whole time? I’m going to the Blackwood estate right now. Daemon and I need to have
a conversation.”

“Dad, stop!” I raised my voice. I already knew about Celeste. I’ve known for weeks.”
The silence was heavy. “You knew?”

“I’ve already filed with the Council for forced dissolution,” I said steadily. “The paperwork went through two
days ago. Daemon will be notified within seven business days.”
“That’s not enough.” My father’s anger hadn’t cooled. “He’s made a mockery of your bond, of our alliance—*
“Dad, listen,” I interrupted. “If you go after Daemon now, it becomes a conflict between our families. It will
damage the alliance between Wildfire Pack and Frost Pack. We can’t let personal issues destroy political
relationships.”
I heard him breathing heavily. “I can handle my own affairs,” I continued. “I need you to trust me to
navigate this without putting our pack at risk. The dissolution will go through. But we can’t make this uglier
than it already is.”
The silence stretched. When my father spoke, his voice was heavy. “If he hurts you any further, if he does
anything else to humiliate you, I won’t sit quietly. Alliance or no alliance, Violet. You’re my daughter first.”
“I know, Dad. Thank you.”
After we hung up, I stood in my kitchen feeling both warmed by his protection and sad about the position
I’d put him in.
My phone buzzed again. Evan’s name appeared.
I answered. “What do you want, Evan?”
“Do you know about Victoria confronting Celeste?”
“Sienna told me,” I said flatly. “Why? Are you calling to accuse me?”
“No.” He sounded tired. “I’m calling because I believe you didn’t tell Victoria anything. You’re trying to
dissolve the bond. Causing drama before that goes through would be stupid, and you’re not stupid.”
I set down my fork. “Glad someone realizes that.”

“And Daemon shouldn’t have threatened you. It was out of line.”

1 sat down, suddenly exhausted. “I’ve already submitted my petition to the Council, Evan. Within the week,
Daemon will receive official notification.”
There was a pause on the other end, then Evan’s voice came through, quieter than before. “I hope the
dissolution goes through smoothly for you.”
“Thanks,” I said simply, not sure what else to add.
“Do you have someone you’re interested in? Someone you like?” he asked.
The question caught me off guard. “Why are you asking?”
“Just curious,” he said. “You’ve changed a lot. I wondered if someone helped you find yourself again.”
“I found it on my own,” I said firmly. “No one gave me permission except me.”
“Good.”
Before I could respond, I asked, “What about you? Do you have someone you’re interested in?”
The silence was loaded.
“Yes,” he finally said.
I thought about Celeste, about how both Daemon and Evan had pursued her in my previous life. My
excitement built. “Then go after her. If you like someone, you should tell them.”
“It’s not that simple. The situation is complicated.”
