Cassie's Pov After the party. I dropped onto Lily’s couch with a dramatic groan, kicking my shoes off. “If I have to sit through one more pack meeting where the elders talk about border patrols like it’s the most exciting thing in the world, I am going to lose it. Seriously. Tell me again why we put up with that?” Lily laughed from the kitchen, the sound a little thinner than usual. “Because you love the drama, Cassie. And because those three Alphas of yours make every boring meeting worth it. Come on, admit it.” I grinned, stretching my arms over my head. “Okay, fine. Caspian’s voice alone could make a tax report sound interesting. And Luka? He once argued with an elder for twenty minutes about the proper way to track a rogue just so he could wink at me the whole time. Asher just sits there taking notes like the responsible one, but I catch him smiling when he thinks no one’s looking.” Lily brought over two mugs of tea and sat across from me. “You three—well, four—are disgusting.

Cassie's Pov “You’re quiet today,” Lily said as we stepped into the clothing store. She held the door open with a smile that looked practiced. “Usually I can’t get you to stop talking about those three.” I forced a small laugh and headed toward a rack of jackets. “Just tired. Long week.” “Long week with three Alphas who can’t keep their hands off you?” She pulled a dark green sweater from the rack and held it up against me. “This would look good on you. Caspian likes green, doesn’t he?” I took the sweater and checked the price tag instead of her face. “He does. Why are you asking?” “Curious. You’ve been with them for months and I still feel like I only get the surface version. Does Luka still drag you out for those midnight runs, or has he calmed down?” “He hasn’t calmed down.” I moved to the next rack, needing space. “Last week he bet me I couldn’t beat him to the river. I almost did.” Lily followed. “Almost. And Asher? He’s the quiet one. Does he ever actually talk when the o

Cassie's Pov I didn’t knock. I used the spare key one last time and pushed the door open. Lily stood in the kitchen holding a mug. She looked up, and for a second her face went completely blank. “You shouldn’t be here,” she said. “I found the phone.” My voice came out steadier than I expected. “I read every message. Every lie you sent them. Every draft you hadn’t sent yet.” She set the mug down hard. “You went through my things?” “You left it under your pillow unlocked. You made it easy.” I stepped farther inside. “Why, Lily? We’ve been friends since we were kids. Why would you do this to me?” Her laugh was sharp and ugly. “Friends? Is that what you still think this is? You walked in and took everything that should have been mine. Caspian. Luka. Asher. All three of them. I was the one who introduced you to Caspian. I was the one who spent years in that pack watching them. And then you smiled and they forgot I existed.” “I didn’t steal anyone.” “You did!” She slammed

Cassie's Pov I stood in the doorway of the living room and watched him. Caspian sat on the far end of the couch, body angled away from the rest of us, eyes fixed on nothing. Every time Luka spoke, Caspian’s jaw flexed and his gaze slid to the floor or the window or his own hands. Never to Luka’s face. Asher noticed me watching. “You good?” “I’m fine,” I said, but my voice came out too flat. I crossed the room and stopped right in front of Caspian. “We need to talk.” He looked up, slow. “About what?” “About whatever the hell is going on with you.” Luka shifted on the other couch. “Cassie—” “No.” I didn’t look away from Caspian. “You two can stay. Or leave. I don’t care. But he’s going to answer me.” Caspian stood. “Not here.” “Then where?” He walked past me without another word. I followed him down the hall and into the guest room at the end. The door clicked shut behind us. He turned, arms crossed, face closed off like a locked door. “Talk,” I said. “There’s nothing to tal

Cassie's Pov I followed the sound of raised voices into the study. Luka stood behind the desk, hands braced on the wood. Caspian faced him from the middle of the room. Asher was already there, arms crossed, watching both of them like he expected blood. Luka’s voice was ice. “You asked for a private talk. Start talking.” Caspian’s throat worked. “The leak came from me.” Silence slammed into the room so hard I felt it in my ribs. Luka’s head tilted. “Say that again.” “I took the files. I copied them. I handed them over.” Caspian’s hands stayed open at his sides, empty. “My parents ordered it. They’ve been planning this for years.” Luka’s laugh was short and ugly. “You’re standing in my house telling me you destroyed my family’s company.” “I’m telling you the truth.” I stepped closer. “Caspian, start from the beginning. All of it.” He looked at me like he was already bracing for the hit. “My parents raised me on one story. The Hills stole everything from us. They sabotaged our
