Chapter 224

• Now, learning of Riley’s tragic ordeal—wrongfully imprisoned and viciously betrayed by those unaware of the truth—Ronan and his parents were overwhelmed with guilt and heartache. Their eyes burned with sorrow as they glanced toward Luna Zara, whose presence now seemed utterly repugnant.
• Ronan, collapsed and broken on the floor, was crushed beyond words, too ashamed to face Riley. Meanwhile, Alpha Alaric, confined to his wheelchair and partially paralyzed, surprisingly shed tears of regret.
• Scarlett was not his daughter. For over two decades, he had been deceived, sacrificing his true daughter’s happiness to raise a stranger—an outsider with no blood ties. The very same stranger he had battered and scorned relentlessly.
