01:23A month earlier, my inner wolf had finally broken through the last streases of the toxin that had sealed my
01:29memories.
01:30Everything I had forgotten came rushing back.
01:33I was not a homeless rogue with no one in the world.
01:37I was the daughter of the former Alpha of the Hawthorne Pack, one of the most powerful werewolf packs on
01:42the West Coast.
01:43I had been missing for seven years.
01:46In three days, my biological brother Calus Hawthorne, the current Alpha of Hawthorne, would arrive in New York with pack
01:52guards to take me home.
01:54The Stonebridge Pack House was crowded that evening with influential werewolves from neighboring territories.
01:59Leela raised her hand and displayed the Luna Ring on her finger.
02:02Then every mocking glass shifted toward me, standing alone in the corner.
02:06Grant sat at the head of the room, looking in my direction every few minutes.
02:10After soaking up enough praise, Leela picked up a glass of champagne and walked over to me.
02:41Leela immediately tilted her champagne glass, pale gold liquid.
02:45spilled across the front of my silk gown.
02:47A second later, the glass hit the floor and shattered.
02:52Sienna, I only wanted to look at it. You could have said no. Why did you push me?
02:57Every head in the room turned towards us.
02:59For seven years, I had driven any woman who tried to get past me and approach Grant out of Stonebridge
03:04territory.
03:05Once, at an East Coast Pack gala, I had shoved an Addis who tried to climb into Grant's bed face
03:11first into a cake in front of everyone.
03:13Grant crossed the room in long strides and pulled Leela behind him.
03:17He looked down at the faint red mark on her hand and frowned at once.
03:22What are you doing now, Sienna Reed?
03:24Leela just returned from overseas. Why are you targeting her?
03:28His voice held open blame and unmistakable favoritism.
03:32I looked at the face I had once loved more than my own life.
03:36Adele ache pressed beneath my ribs.
03:38I breathed slowly and forced the sting from my eyes.
03:41I did not explain. I did not lose my temper.
03:44Instead, I reached behind my neck, released the clasp of the pink diamond necklace,
03:48and held it out to Leela as the entire room stared in shock.
03:52Take it if you want it.
03:53Whatever made you drop that glass is yours to explain, not mine.
03:57Grant went rigid.
03:58Shock flashed across his face, and his frown deepened.
04:02Leela froze too, forgetting to continue crying.
04:05I signaled the waiter to come over and clean up the broken glass on the floor.
04:09I was not cleaning up after Lila.
04:11I still refused to leave behind one more trivial excuse Grant could use to keep me there.
04:15My dress is ruined.
04:17I am going upstairs to change.
04:18I turned toward the second floor with my back straight.
04:22Grant's stare followed me all the way up.
04:25Once inside my room, I shut the door and leaned against it with my eyes closed.
04:30Seven years of obsession ended that night.
04:35My phone lit up on the nightstand.
04:37Because we did not belong to the same pack, we could not communicate through a pack mind link.
04:42We had to use our phones.
04:44Sienna, the flight clearance is approved.
04:47Hawthorne guards will enter New York territory in three days.
04:50Stonebridge will answer for everything it did to you.
04:53I will make sure of it.
04:54The feet gathered behind my eyes as I read the message.
04:57I can finally go home.
04:59The door suddenly opened from the hall.
05:02Grant strode inside and fixed a sharp stare on the phone in my hand.
05:07He crossed the room, snatched it away, and looked down just as the screen went dark.
05:13Unable to unlock it, he tossed it onto the carpet.
05:16Then he caught my chin and forced me to look at him.
05:19Why didn't you fight back downstairs?
05:21His voice was cool and probing.
05:23You have spent years telling me I am too forceful and need to learn how to submit.
05:28I gave her the lunar ring and the necklace.
05:30Isn't that exactly what you wanted?
05:32He smelled faintly of tobacco and strongly of Lila's floral perfume.
05:36The combination turned my stomach.
05:39Grant bent until his lips brushed the shell of my ear.
05:42Sienna, I know today was difficult for you.
05:45Lila's sister once protected me from a silver trap.
05:48She lost the ability to shift because of it.
05:51I promised I would take care of Lila.
05:53As long as you behave and stop challenging my decisions,
05:56Stonebridge will always have a place for you.
05:59You will still be the woman who has stayed beside me the longest.
06:02He offered the words like a gift from someone far above me.
06:06He expected gratitude.
06:08A rapid knock sounded from the hall.
06:11Lila's weak voice came through the door.
06:13Grant, my chest hurts again.
06:15Can you come stay with me?
06:16His arms fell away from me at once.
06:19Without a second of hesitation, he turned towards the door.
06:22Before leaving, he stopped and glanced back.
06:24There is a packed charity gala tomorrow night.
06:26I am taking Lila.
06:27She just returned does not have a suitable gown.
06:30Have the staff send the Starfall Couture dress from your closet to her room tomorrow
06:34so it can be altered.
06:35I stared at him in disbelief.
06:38Have it delivered before breakfast.
06:39I do not want another scene.
06:42A French designer had made that gown for me five years earlier
06:46when Grant confirmed we were fated mates and publicly named me as his future Luna.
06:51We had never completed the formal marking,
06:53so the bond between us was limited to the instinctive attraction and awareness of unmarked fated mates.
07:01We had no permanent mate-mind connect and no way to track each other's location through the bond.
07:07999 tiny diamonds covered the skirt.
07:09I had treasured it so fiercely that I barely allowed the staff to touch it.
07:14A new employee tried to secretly try on.
07:16I fired her right then and where from the Stonebridge Ampacking plant.
07:20Grant had agreed with me then.
07:21He said no one had the right to touch what belonged to me.
07:26Now he was ordering me to give the gown to Leela.
07:29Then I looked at the entitlement on Grant's face and all I felt was clarity.
07:34Giving away the dress was not obedience.
07:36I was choosing to discard the last keepsake from our relationship.
07:41Fine. I will have it sent over tomorrow.
07:44Grant studied me for a long moment before opening the door and leaving.
07:48I heard him soothing Leela in the hallway.
07:50Then the door to the room next to mine closed.
07:53I crossed to the desk, opened a drawer, and took out the calendar.
07:57Two days remained before Callum came for me.
07:59I stripped off the champagne-stained gown and entered the bathroom.
08:03Grant, seven years ago, you found me unconscious beside a highway,
08:07poisoned and without my memories, and brought me to Stonebridge.
08:10You did save my life once.
08:12In the years since then, I took a silver blade for you.
08:16I handled territorial disputes and corporate crises.
08:19I carried the internal responsibilities that should have belonged to your future Luna.
08:23We had settled our debts long ago.
08:26By breakfast, the Starfall gown would be gone too.
08:30After that, Grant would have nothing left of mine to take.
08:33The next morning, I followed Grant's order
08:36and had the staff deliver the Starfall gown to Leela's room.
08:39Leela deliberately left her door open.
08:44As I passed, I saw her turning in front of the mirror
08:46in a gown that did not fit her at all.
08:50She picked up a pair of scissors
08:52and cut away the most elaborate section of diamond-covered mesh from the skirt.
08:58This design is so dated.
09:00It will look much better shorter.
09:02The employee glanced nervously toward me in the hall and said nothing.
09:06I kept walking and went directly to the packhouse infirmary.
09:10Years earlier, Grant had been exposed to a weakening wolf toxin that damaged his inner wolf.
09:15Whenever he drank too much, the old injury flared.
09:18Only an herbal medicine prepared specifically for his condition could ease the symptoms.
09:22For seven years, I had made it myself from the formula left by a pack healer.
09:25At a stainless steel work table, I added ground herbs,
09:28purified water, and a neutralizing agent to a heat-resistant glass flask.
09:32It was the last medicine I would ever make for him,
09:34the final favor I still intended to repay.
09:36After it cooled, I poured the mixture into an insulated, sealed bottle,
09:40placed it on a tray, and carried it toward Grant's office.
09:44The door stood slightly open.
09:48Inside, Grant was speaking with Mason Hull,
09:51his childhood friend and the beta of the Stonebridge Path.
09:55I raised my hand to knock, but Mason's voice reached me first.
09:59Grant, haven't you gone too far this time?
10:02You took back the lunar ring, gave Lila the necklace,
10:05and even handed over the Starfall gown.
10:09Sienna has been with you for seven years.
10:11She has nearly died for you.
10:13Are you really trying to drive her away?
10:19I stopped outside the door.
10:23Where would she go?
10:24She lost her memory and cannot even identify her original pack.
10:28Stonebrick is the only place she has.
10:29I gave her too much authority over the years.
10:32She has become increasingly unwilling to obey.
10:35Lila is back, and Sienna needs to learn to yield.
10:39I am breaking that pride of hers so she remembers who the Alpha of Stonebrook is.
10:45Once she accepts reality and stops challenging me,
10:47I will give her a house somewhere in the territory and make sure she has everything she needs.
10:57After humiliating her like this?
11:01Aren't you afraid she might actually stop loving you?
11:06Stop loving me?
11:08Stonebridge is the only home Sienna knows, and I am the only person she depends on.
11:12She cannot leave.
11:13The tray tilted in my hands.
11:15Several drops of hot medicine splashed across my skin.
11:18The skin redded, then began to heal as my werewolf regeneration took in.
11:22I barely felt it.
11:23I looked at the half-opened office door, set the tray on a side table in the hall,
11:27and took the insulated bottle to the indoor planting area beside the back entrance.
11:30A tall palm stood there in an oversized pot.
11:33I unscrewed the cap and poured three hours of work into the soil.
11:40The empty bottle in my hand was the first thing Grant Grant had lost without reelsing it.
11:49Lila appeared behind me in the gown she had hacked apart.
11:58Sienna, Grant says the Master Suite has better light and would be more comfortable for my recovery.
12:03He wants me to move in tonight.
12:04Shouldn't you start packing your things?
12:05I had lived in Stonebridge Master Suite for five years.
12:10Every room held traces of the life Grant and I had shared.
12:13I looked at Lila's triumphant face and did not argue.
12:17She believed I was surrendering the room to her.
12:19In truth, I was removing the final obstacle between me and my departure.
12:24You do not need to rush me.
12:26I will pack now.
12:28I entered the Master Suite and took none of the jewelry, designer bags, or gifts Grant had bought me.
12:36I filled one black duffel with a few basic changes of clothes and my identification documents.
12:45Callum had sent another message.
12:47Callum's text, Sienna.
12:48Your birth record and identity as a Hawthorne have been verified.
12:51Our attorneys have submitted the formal paperwork for your withdrawal from Stonebridge.
12:55Your old phone number will be disconnected tonight.
12:59By midnight, my name would disappear from every Stonebridge registry Grant could control.
13:06I moved into the most remote guest room in the packhouse.
13:09It was normally used for storage and a faint smell of mildew hung in the air.
13:16I set my bag on the narrow bed in the corner and touched nothing else.
13:19Only twelve hours remained.
13:23Snow began falling that evening.
13:26Grant returned to the packhouse after an executive meeting at Stonebridge Holdships, cold air clinging to his coat.
13:37The house manager approached him nervously.
13:42Alpha Grant, Miss Sienna moved into the storage room in the north wing, today.
13:50Grant's expression darkened.
14:02I was sitting beside the bed, watching the snow.
14:06I turned toward him.
14:09Grant strode up to me, looked over the shabby room, and finally fixed his stare on the nearly empty doffel
14:15beside the bed.
14:18What performance is this, Sienna Reid?
14:24Lila only said she wanted the master suite.
14:27Who told you to move into a place like this?
14:29Are you trying to provoke me?
14:33The other guest rooms are full of Lila's luggage.
14:35This was the only empty one.
14:37It does not matter.
14:39I will not need a room here much longer.
14:44My calm answer infuriated him.
14:48He seized my wrist with bruising force.
14:52My sleeve pulled up, revealing a jaggy scar more than four inches long along my forearm.
14:59Three years earlier, I had intercepted an attack from a rival pack meant for him.
15:04A silver blade had pierced straight through my arm and the silver in the blade stopped my healing.
15:10I had nearly died in a werewolf healing center.
15:13Grant looked at the scar with Udathrace of Tynes.
15:16Irritatio fill his Gweng's eye instead.
15:19Do you keep showing that silver scar because you want to remind me that I owe you my life?
15:25Lila is sensitive.
15:26She saw it today and could not even finish lunch.
15:30Starting tomorrow, you will wear long sleeves inside the packhouse.
15:34If you cannot manage that, move into the guard quarters by the border checkpoint and stay out of Lila's sight.
15:40He used the cruelest words he could find because he wanted to hurt me.
15:44He wanted the old Sienna to break down and plead her case.
15:49He was waiting for me to collapse a blooming summon I-6.
15:53I studied his, his anger, distorted face and felt only stillness.
15:59I did not argue.
16:00I did not cry.
16:04I pulled my wrist free and picked up my black duffel.
16:08There is no need to throw me out.
16:10I was already planning to leave tonight.
16:17I stepped around him and walked toward the door.
16:21Grant finally lost control.
16:24He had not received the reaction he expected.
16:27To him, my indifference and refuse to beg became an outrageous challenge.
16:32He caught up, tore the duffel from my hand, and wrenched open the front doors of the packhouse.
16:40Wind and snow roared into the hall.
16:52Let us see how long a packless rogue with no family lasts in a New York blizzard without me.
16:58I stood in the doorway, wearing only a thin cashmere sweater.
17:02I looked at the bag in the snow and walked outside without hesitation.
17:07Step by step, I entered the storm and never looked back.
17:15Grant Sterling remained inside long enough to watch me disappear, then slammed the door.
17:43The blizzard tore across the road, scattering my scent almost as quickly as it covered my tracks.
17:50My legs soon became numb, every step stiff and painful.
17:56When I reached the intersection beyond the private properties,
18:00twelve black Rolls Royces stopped in formation before me.
18:03Each carried California plates and a discreet hawthorn pack crest.
18:12Callum stepped out in a custom black overcoat and strode through the snow toward me.
18:17The moment he saw my thin smetter and blue lips, fury ignited in his eyes.
18:32Grant Sterling made you walk into a blizzard dressed like this?
18:37I am sorry I came so late.
18:39I rested against his broad shoulder and felt the safety of family for the first time in years.
18:49You are not late.
18:51Your timing is perfect.
18:53Take me home.
18:59The convoy turned through the storm and headed for a private airport outside New York City.
19:05For the first time in seven years, Grant had no idea where I was and no way to call me
19:10back.
19:12Only later, after Stonebridge elders opened a formal inquiry,
19:16did Hawthorne's attorneys receive Mason's signed witness report and certified copies of the entrance footage.
19:22Callum showed them to me, and I learned what happened during the three hours after Grant threw me out.
19:27Back at the Stonebridge Pack House, tension had settled over the main hall.
19:32Grant sat on a leather sofa holding a glass of wine that had long since gone cold.
19:37He tugged irritatively at his tie and stared at the antique clock on the wall.
19:42It was eleven at night.
19:45Three full hours had passed since he threw me out.
19:49Lila approached with a plate of sliced fruit and tried to lean into him.
19:53Grant, Sienna is too proud to go far.
19:55The snow is terrible.
19:56She is probably hiding nearby, waiting for you to come find her.
19:59Grant shoved her hand away.
20:10In seven years, I had never stayed away from him for more than a day.
20:13During the years when my memories were gone, every argument ended the same way.
20:16No matter how coldly he treated me, I delivered his medicine to his office the next morning.
20:21His orders made the truth obvious.
20:22He still expected the cold to drive me back until I begged outside the gates.
20:25But after three hours, there was still no movement beyond the doors.
20:28His certainty had survived every warning.
20:31It did not survive my absence.
20:33The next section of Mason's report recorded the moment Grant finally ordered the gates opened.
20:39Mason wrote that Grant's control finally cracked when he realized neither the pack link nor our unmarked mate bond could
20:45locate me.
20:52The manager immediately led several pack warriors into the storm.
20:58Ten minutes later, he returned covered in snow, his face grim.
21:02Alpha Grant, she is not outside.
21:04We searched the entire estate.
21:06The snow covered her footprints, and the wind scattered her scent beyond the property.
21:10The wine glass cracked in Grant's hand.
21:12She actually left.
21:14Check the entrance cameras and find out where she went.
21:17Freeze every bank card in her name.
21:19I want to see how long she lasts without a dollar.
21:22The manager checked the security footage and account records.
21:25Minutes later, he returned with a tablet held in trembling hands.
21:28Alpha Grant, the cameras show Sienna entering a convoy at the intersection.
21:31The vehicles had California plates and Hawthorne packed crests.
21:41Hours later, the Hawthorne pack's private jet landed at an airport near San Francisco.
21:53My father, the former Alpha of Hawthorne and now one of its elders,
21:57waited on the tarmac with my mother, the former Luna.
22:01The instant she saw me, my mother rushed forward and crushed me in her arms, sobbing.
22:07My baby, we finally found you.
22:10You have suffered for seven years.
22:12My father stood beside us with red eyes and stroked my hair with a shaking hand.
22:18Looking at how much they had aged, I could no longer hold back my tears.
22:23Seven years earlier, an enemy had attacked me and exposed me to a memory-sealing wolf toxin
22:27with no memory of my identity.
22:31I wandered into New York Territory, where Grant found me and brought me to Stonebridge.
22:36I had believed he was the only person I had in the world.
22:43Now I understood that an entire pack on the distant west coast had spent every resource
22:48it could escape searching for me and had never given up.
22:51On my first day back at the Hawthorne estate,
22:54my family called in a physician from the Royal Healing Center to examine me.
22:58When I revealed the silver scar on my arm and the records of the damage caused by years
23:03of memory toxin suppressing my inner wolf, the room fell silent.
23:10Callum smashed an expensive antique vase in the study.
23:16Then he mobilized Hawthorne Capital and its corporate alliances to cut off Sterling Holdings
23:22from its overseas supply network.
23:26Stonebridge will feel the first consequence before sunrise.
23:30Three days after I returned to Hawthorne, Mason submitted a second sworn report to Stonebridge's elders.
23:35Hawthorne's attorneys received a copy through the same formal inquiry,
23:38and Callum handed it to me without hiding a word.
23:40In New York, Grant was living through the most unsettled days of his life.
23:46At eight one morning, he sat in the dining room staring at a bottle of ordinary, bitter herbal medicine.
23:54He swept it from the table.
23:57What is this?
23:59Where is Sienna?
24:01Bring her down here and make her prepare it again!
24:12The house manager reminded him nervously.
24:17Alpha Grant,
24:19Miss Sienna has been gone for three days.
24:20Mason recorded that the old toxin attack made Grant double over,
24:24clutch his abdomen, and turn white in front of the entire dining room.
24:27For seven years, I had adjusted the herbs to match every change in his condition.
24:32That was the only reason the toxin had remained under control.
24:36A generic formula could not suppress it.
24:39According to Mason, Grant tried the Stonebridge mind link first.
24:43It returned only silence because I had formally withdrawn,
24:47and our unmarked mate bond could not track me.
24:54When he called my number,
24:55an automated message told him the line was no longer in service.
25:06He summoned Mason through the pack mind link.
25:09Check every purchase Sienna has made.
25:11She has to pay for food or a hotel.
25:13Find her and bring her back immediately.
25:15I turned to the second half of Mason's report.
25:17Each line dismantled another assumption Grant had made about me.
25:20Half an hour later,
25:22Mason entered the main hall with a troubled expression.
25:24Alpha Grant, we have a problem.
25:26Sienna has not spent a cent from any account in her name for seven years.
25:29Every dollar you transferred to her is still there.
25:32The Stonebridge registry confirms that she formally left the pack.
25:35Her old number has been disconnected,
25:37and there have been no transactions on her cards.
25:39Hawthorne's attorneys restored her legal name,
25:41Sienna Hawthorne,
25:41and restricted Stonebridge access to her personal records.
25:44We cannot find her current location.
25:46Grant shot to his feet so violently that his chair overturned.
25:50Mason wrote that Grant's face drained of color and his breathing turned uneasy.
25:54The report listed the facts one by one.
25:56No transactions,
25:57a formal withdrawal,
25:58a West Coast convoy,
25:59and a restored Hawthorne identity.
26:01I knew exactly what those facts destroyed.
26:04Grant had built his certainty on the belief that I was a helpless rogue who needed him to survive.
26:12Instead, I had left without taking anything from him,
26:15and closed every route Stonebridge might have used to find me.
26:19Leela came down the stairs wearing the shortened remains of the Starfall gown
26:23and my pink diamond necklace.
26:25She softened her voice as she called to him.
26:28Grant, this dress still does not fit properly.
26:30Will you have someone alter it again for me?
26:31Grant stared at the necklace that had once belonged she had destroyed,
26:34his face tightened when he saw the necklace and the ruined gown.
26:43Take it off.
26:45Who gave you permission to wear her things?
26:47Take it off now!
26:50One month later,
26:51I waited behind the curved staircase
26:53while Hawthorne prepared to introduce me publicly.
26:56Callum's security team had already briefed me on Grant's condition
26:59and every failed attempt he had made to find me.
27:01The ballroom of an elite Manhattan hotel blazed with light.
27:04The Hawthorne pack had reserved the entire top floor
27:06for a public reception welcoming home the former Alpha's daughter after seven years.
27:10Nearly every influential Alpha, elder, and corporate leader on the East Coast attended.
27:18Grant arrived with Leela.
27:20From Callum's reports,
27:21I knew Sterling Hardings had spent the previous month under relentless financial pressure
27:24while Stonebridge's corporate network suffered enormous losses.
27:27When I watched Grant entered from behind the staircase,
27:30his eyes were sunken,
27:31dark shovel covered his jaw,
27:32and he had lost a frightening amount of weight.
27:34The reports also said his toxins came more often.
27:37Ordinary medicine did nothing,
27:38and every pack or business contact he used had failed to find me.
27:40Night after night,
27:41he had sat in the narrow storage room
27:44and stared at the nearly empty duffel I left behind.
27:47From my hidden position,
27:48I saw him ignore the executives around him
27:50and search every entrance as though I might appear among the servers.
27:53He still seemed to believe I must be struggling somewhere in neutral territory.
28:04Grant, what are you looking for?
28:06We came to discuss a partnership with Hawthorne.
28:09Will you pay attention to me?
28:15Be quiet and stay out of trouble.
28:20At exactly 8,
28:21the chandeliers went dark.
28:25A brilliant spotlight illuminated the curved stairs above the ball helm.
28:29The room fell silent.
28:35Hidden above the ballroom,
28:36I stepped toward the light.
28:39Callum,
28:40the current alpha of the Hawthorne pack,
28:42appeared at the top in a tailored black suit.
28:51I stepped from the shadows into the light
28:52wearing a white diamond gown made by French artisans.
28:55A deep blue gemstone necklace
28:56inherited through the Hawthorne family rest at my throat,
28:58and the pack crest was pinned at my shoulder.
28:59My face was healthy,
29:00my posture confident.
29:01Nothing remained of the cautious woman
29:03who had spent seven years
29:04making herself smaller in Stonebridge.
29:14Thank you for joining us.
29:17Tonight, I am honored to formally introduce my younger sister,
29:20missing for seven years,
29:21and the daughter of Hawthorne's former alpha,
29:25Sienna Hawthorne.
29:29At the front of the crowd,
29:31Grant stopped breathing.
29:32The wine glass slipped from his hand
29:34and broke against the floor,
29:35splashing his shoes with red wine.
29:37His eyes locked onto me.
29:47Sienna.
29:50Sienna Reed.
29:52Sienna Reed.
29:52His voice cracked around the main.
29:54Guests stared at the Stonebridge alpha
29:56and CEO of Sterling Holders
29:57as he lost all control in public.
29:59Grant shoved people aside
30:01and rushed toward the platform.
30:04Sienna.
30:05Come down here.
30:06You are coming back to Stonebridge with me.
30:10He reached for the hem of my gown.
30:13Before his fingers touched the fabric,
30:16two Hawthorne warriors forced him to the floor.
30:22He struggled wildly
30:23and looked up at me with desperation and disbelief.
30:26Sienna.
30:27It is me.
30:29Look at me.
30:30Stop this and come home.
30:36My silence made him hesitate.
30:38Callum walked down the steps
30:39and stopped in front of Grant.
30:46He took a folded handkerchief
30:47from his breast pocket,
30:48wiped his fingers,
30:49and drove a foot into Grant's chest.
30:53Grant slid backward across the floor,
30:54blood appearing at the corner of his mouth.
30:59What gives you the right
31:00to order my sister anywhere, Grant Sterling?
31:02For seven years,
31:03you made her prepare your medicine,
31:04manage pack finances,
31:05settle territorial crises,
31:06and even take a silver blade for you.
31:07You treated the former alpha's daughter
31:09like a possession with no dignity of her own.
31:10To please another woman,
31:11you forced her to surrender the Luna Ring,
31:13took away her gown,
31:14and expelled her into a blizzard.
31:15Hawthorne will settle
31:16every part of that debt tonight.
31:17No one had imagined
31:18that the woman he treated as disposable
31:20was the missing daughter
31:21of one of the West Coast's
31:22most powerful packs.
31:31They are lying, aren't they, Sienna?
31:33You are angry,
31:34so you hired these people
31:35to put on a show.
31:37That is all this is, right?
31:38You told me I was the only man you loved.
31:40You nearly died for me.
31:41How could you be Hawthorne's missing daughter?
31:42Come back with me.
31:43I will give you the Master Suite again.
31:44I will return the Luna Ring.
31:46I descended the steps
31:47and stopped several feet away.
31:52Then I took a thick file from my clutch
31:55and threw it into his face.
31:59Grant Sterling,
32:00those are the evidence files
32:01and resolution reports
32:02from three attempts on your life
32:03and five cases of corporate espionage
32:05over the last seven years.
32:06Silver wound on my arm
32:07repaid the life you saved.
32:08The moment I placed the Luna Ring
32:09on Lila's hand,
32:10Sienna Reid ceased to exist.
32:11The woman standing before you
32:12is Sienna Hawthorne.
32:15Lila finally recovered from her shock.
32:18The sight of Grant reduced to begging
32:20drove her into a jealous rage.
32:26Stop pretending you are above everyone.
32:28You are just Grant's discarded ex.
32:30Taking the Hawthorne name again
32:31does not erase the fact
32:32that you spent years living off a man.
32:33Callum's expression turned lethal.
32:35He did two Hawthorne warriors
32:36immediately restrained Lila
32:38and cut off her shouting.
32:39She tried to lunge toward me,
32:41but they pinned her arms behind her
32:42and forced her to her knees.
32:44Then they hauled her out of the ballroom.
32:46Grant did not even look at her.
32:48His knees is folded
32:50and he dropped direct in front of me.
32:52Der Prei und Dignity shattert
32:54in voll view of Effa Gemanna.
32:55Tage afneivt die Reception.
32:57Der Hawthorne-Pack launched
32:58der Financier-Counterattack
33:00in Störling-Haldesen.
33:01The company's share price plunged for days
33:03and its liquidity collapsed.
33:06East Coast Packs
33:07that had once partnered with Grant
33:09withdrew after seeing Hawthorne's reach.
33:12Within two weeks,
33:14human courts frozen
33:15and ordered the liquidation
33:16of Sterling Holdern's
33:17and Grant's personal assets.
33:20Creditors seized his homes,
33:22vehicles,
33:22accounts,
33:23and remaining company shares.
33:25Using the evidence
33:26Mason had submitted
33:27to the formal inquiry,
33:28the Stonebridge elders
33:30held a final vote.
33:33Grant was permanently removed
33:34as Alpha,
33:36stripped of command authority,
33:37and barred from ever
33:39holding Pack Office again.
33:43The arrogant Alpha
33:44who once ruled New York Territory
33:46was gone.
33:50Winter deepened
33:51and temperatures fell below freezing.
33:56Grant stood outside
33:58the high-rise apartment
33:59in Rilern
34:00where I was staying
34:00for seven straight days.
34:02He wore only a thin suit.
34:05His hair was unkempt
34:06and his skin
34:07had taken on
34:07a sick gray cast.
34:09The old toxin injury
34:10had worsened
34:11until he was coughing blood,
34:13but he refused treatment
34:14at the Royal Healing Center.
34:19He remained outside
34:20from morning till night,
34:21hoping for one glimpse of me.
34:25Hawthorne warriors
34:26removed him every day.
34:28Each time he fell,
34:30he returned to the same spot
34:32the next morning.
34:35On the seventh day,
34:37freezing rain
34:37mixed with snow.
34:38I stood beside
34:40the enormous windows
34:40and looked down
34:41at the unsteady figure below.
34:43Then I picked up
34:44a black umbrella
34:45and left the building.
34:50Grant's expression
34:51changed
34:52the moment he saw me.
34:53He staggered toward me,
34:55dragging one leg
34:56as the old toxin
34:57weakened his wolf
34:58and slowed his healing.
35:00One step away,
35:01he dropped hard
35:02to his knees.
35:08Sienna,
35:09you finally came
35:10to see me.
35:10He reached for my legs,
35:11but I blocked him
35:12with the open umbrella.
35:13Sterling Holdings
35:13is bankrupt
35:14and you have been
35:14permanently removed
35:15as Alpha.
35:16Why are you still here?
35:17Grant Sterling?
35:25I do not care
35:26about Sterling Holdings.
35:27I do not want any of it.
35:28I only want you.
35:29Sienna, I was wrong.
35:30I thought you could
35:31never leave.
35:32I was afraid
35:32I was losing control of you,
35:33so I tried to crush your pride
35:35and make sure
35:35you stayed beside me forever.
35:37He began slapping himself
35:38as he cried.
35:41Each blow was vicious
35:42and blood soon soon appeared
35:44at the corner of his mouth.
35:46I watched his self-destruction
35:47without sympathy.
35:48I never marked Leela.
35:50I never even touched her.
35:51I never formally rejected
35:52our mate bond.
35:52I always planned
35:53to take the Lunar Ring back.
35:54The toxin attacks me
35:55every day
35:55and I cannot sleep.
35:56Please give me
35:57one more chance.
35:58You claim you were
35:59afraid of losing me
36:00so you chose
36:01the cruelest possible ways
36:02to humiliate me.
36:03You gave another woman
36:04the gown that represented
36:04my public place beside you.
36:06You ground my dignity
36:07beneath your feet
36:08and threw me into a blizzard.
36:09You never loved me, Grant.
36:11You loved Sienna Reed,
36:12the woman without memories,
36:14without a pack,
36:15and with no one
36:15but you to depend on.
36:17You loved someone
36:17you could control completely.
36:19That woman died in the snow.
36:23No, she did not die.
36:25You are standing right here.
36:27Sienna Hawthorne,
36:28let me stay near you.
36:28I will do the lowest work
36:30in your pack.
36:31I will accept exile labor.
36:32Anything!
36:36His apology had arrived
36:38only after every consequence.
36:40It could not restore
36:42the woman he had tried
36:43to control.
36:44I had no interest
36:45in watching any longer.
36:48I closed the umbrella
36:49and turned toward the building.
36:51Grant's broken cries
36:53followed me.
36:54I did not look back.
36:56I believed that was
36:57the last time
36:58I would ever see
36:59Grant Sterling.
37:01After settling
37:02the remaining matters
37:03in New York territory,
37:05I prepared to return
37:06permanently to the West Coast.
37:09The liquidation
37:10of Sterling Holdings
37:11and Grant's personal assets
37:13left him buried
37:14under enormous debt.
37:16Callum's people reported
37:17that Lila stole Grant's
37:18last emergency funds
37:19at his lowest point
37:20and tried to escape
37:21through a neutral zone border.
37:24She was arrested
37:25at a checkpoint.
37:26A neutral pack tribunal
37:27convicted her of grand theft,
37:29attempted assault,
37:30and border evasion,
37:31recovered all remaining
37:31stolen funds and property,
37:33and sentenced her
37:34to 20 years
37:34in a maximum security
37:35pack prison
37:36with no early release.
37:37She was permanently barred
37:38from holding pack rank
37:39or entering Hawthorne territory.
37:41Grant later collapsed
37:42in the street
37:42during a severe toxin attack.
37:43Werewolf warriors on patrol
37:45found him
37:45and brought him
37:45to the Royal Healing Center.
37:46The physician saved his life,
37:48but delaying treatment
37:48permanently crippled
37:49his inner wolf.
37:50He would never shift again,
37:51his regeneration remained impaired,
37:52and he needed daily medicine
37:53simply to function.
37:54With every asset liquidated,
37:55Court Legments placed
37:56his future income
37:57under long-term creditor claims
37:58while his debt
37:58continued to grow.
37:59The sky finally cleared
38:01as our convoy traveled
38:02toward the private airport.
38:05Sunlight spilled
38:06through the windows
38:06and warmed my skin.
38:08We stopped
38:09at the private terminal
38:10security entrance.
38:12The moment I opened
38:13the car door,
38:14a ragged figure
38:15burst from behind a hedge.
38:17It was Grant.
38:21He still limped
38:22on his right leg.
38:22With his inner wolf damaged,
38:24his regenerative ability
38:24could no longer
38:25fully heal the injury.
38:26His skin was sasser,
38:27and he looked 10 years older.
38:29Hawthorne warriors
38:30rushed forward
38:30and forced him down.
38:31The jet is ready.
38:32Once we cross security,
38:34New York is behind you
38:35for good.
38:36At the terminal,
38:37I watched blood run
38:38over Grant's fingers
38:39as he held the object
38:39towards me.
38:44They were fragments
38:45of the champagne flask
38:46I had picked up
38:47for Lila at the dinner party.
38:48Somehow,
38:49he had found that trash
38:50and guarded it
38:51like treasure.
38:53Sienna Hawthorne,
38:54I found them.
38:56I picked them up for you.
38:58The glass had cut
38:59his hand open.
39:00With his wolf weakened,
39:02the wounds would not close,
39:04but he refused
39:05to release the shards.
39:10Take me with you,
39:12or tell your warriors
39:14to kill me.
39:15Just do not leave me
39:17here alone.
39:19I stopped and looked
39:20at the man
39:20who had once seemed
39:21untouchable,
39:22a former alpha
39:23with no pack left to command,
39:25no authority,
39:26and no dignity.
39:28I felt no pity
39:29and no satisfaction.
39:32Only freedom.
39:38Live, Grant Sterling.
39:39Live in this wreckage
39:41with the debt you owe me.
39:43I turned away
39:44and walked into
39:45the private terminal
39:46with my parents
39:47and parents and Callum.
39:48Callum opened the security door
39:50and waited beside me.
39:51I stepped through
39:52without touching the glass
39:53or the man holding it.
39:55The security door
39:55closed between us.
39:59The jet accelerated
40:01down the runway
40:02and climbed into the sky.
40:04From my leather seat
40:05in the first class cabin,
40:06I watched New York territory
40:07shrink beneath the clouds.
40:12It is over, sweetheart.
40:14Life will only get better
40:15from here.
40:16I accepted it
40:17and smiled more easily
40:18than I had in seven years.
40:20Yes, it is over.
40:24The cabin door
40:25had closed behind us
40:26and for the first time
40:27in seven years,
40:28the future belonged
40:28entirely to me.
40:29I had not escaped one pack
40:31merely to become trapped
40:32by another person's regret.
40:33I was going home as myself.
40:35Later, one of our warriors
40:37sent Callum
40:37a final incident report
40:39from the New York terminal.
40:44According to the report,
40:45the warriors released Grant
40:46after our jet took off.
40:47He collapsed onto
40:48the concrete floor
40:49and pressed the blood-stained
40:50shard of glass
40:50against his chest.
40:51I did not need to see the rest.
40:53Grant had lost control
40:54of his pack,
40:55his company,
40:56his wolf,
40:56and the woman
40:57who once would have
40:58died for him.
40:59My life was no longer
41:00an argument with him.
41:01It was mine again.
41:04He would live
41:05with the wreckage he created.
41:07I would live beyond it.
