Amit me father had always treated is differently from Kim. Not worse anything, he’d been more protective of me, more concerned about an nomor 14 miteimeted that as worry because I wasn’t as strong or aggressive as a typical wolf. But what if it was something else entirely?

I shook my head and just the car in drive. These questions would have to it. Right now, I needed to focus on building a new life–for myself and for the tiny lite growing inside me.

The design studio was quiet when I arrived the next morning. Here, I could lose myself in the flow of creativity, where bloodlines and pack politics didn’t matter.

1 spread my designs across the worktable, focusing on a pendant I’d been conceptualizing. My fingers worked deftly, translating the image in my mind onto

paper. This was the one place I felt truly myself–not Iris Stone of the failing Stone pack, not Mrs. Grey of the powerful Grey family, just me. A designer. A creator.

Hours passed, and I barely noticed. When I finally finished the sketch, I checked my phone, which I’d silenced earlier, and was startled to see

the flood of notifications.

I opened the first message, from Rachel:

“CALL ME RIGHT NOW! The wolf social networks are completely blowing up! Have you seen any of it? They’re talking about you and

Sebastien!”

My stomach dropped. I scrolled through more messages, seeing similar urgent texts from various acquaintances. Even Noah had sent a message

checking if I was okay.

I didn’t need to guess who was behind this. Kim hadn’t wasted any time spreading the news about my impending divorce.

With a sigh, I opened the wolf community app. The moment it loaded, I was bombarded with posts and comments about me and Sebastien.

“Stone family has fallen so far, no wonder Sebastien Grey doesn’t want her. I wouldn’t consider such a match either!”

“Sebastien isn’t that kind of Alpha. It’s obviously Iris who seduced him with her scent and then drove his true mate to the European packs!”

I scrolled through the comments, feeling strangely detached. A week ago, these words would have cut deep. Now, they barely touched me.

I texted Rachel back quickly: “I’m fine. Wolf community is always like this.

Her response was immediate: “Fine my ass! These wolves are freaking savages! And Sebastien is a total piece of shit for letting his mate take

this kind of abuse!”

I smiled slightly at her outrage. At least I had one true friend in all this mess.

“With your beauty and design talent, you could have any man–human or wolf–once you’re free from that arrogant jerk!” Rachel continued.

Seriously, you deserve so much better.”

I hesitated, then decided to tell her. If anyone should know the truth, it was Rachel.

You re right, I typed. That’s why we’ve started the Moon Cycle Cooling riod. We’re getting divorced,”

I hit send and waited, watching the three dots appear as Rachel typed her response. Finally:

OMG! You actually did it! When did you go? Why didn’t you take me with you for support?!”

As I was about to reply, another notification popped up–a message from Noah.

Tris, are you alright? Don’t pay attention to the gossip in the wolf community. I know the kind of person you are, and I trust in your
