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.
