“Damien, what is the meaning of this?” My mother’s voice finally broke the heavy silence that had followed Uncle Damien’s entrance. I was still trying to piece together what was happening 

Why was my father–who was supposed to be overseas assisting with a medical procedure–here, tied up and bloodied? 

Why was Uncle Damien here? 

And why was he looking at me like that? 

“I can practically see the wheels turning in your head, Little Dove,” Damien said smoothly. “And because you’ve turned out to be somewhat tolerable, I’ll do you a favor and answer the questions you’re asking yourself.” 

I blinked at him. He sounded different–strange, even. Like this was the first time I was truly hearing him speak. 

A muffled sound from my father filled the air, yanking my attention back to him. His hands and legs were bound, his face bloodied. 

“Damien-” 

“If I were you, Evelyn, I’d get off that high horse and watch what you say. One wrong word, and Luther will suffer the consequences.” His tone turned ice–cold, his gaze sharp and unforgiving. 

“Uncle Damien?” I whispered. 

His eyes flicked to me, softening just a fraction before a slow, unsettling smile spread across his face. 

“Right. The only one I can actually stand.” He gestured toward two chairs I hadn’t noticed before. “Let’s start with the basics. Both of you–sit.” 

My mother and I exchanged a glance. I could sense her tension, the unspoken thoughts racing through her mind. Then, for the first time, her voice touched mine through our psychic link. don’t know what’s going on, but for your father’s sake–sit down.‘ 

It didn’t sound like a command. It was a plea. Despite the calm facade she wore, she had no idea what was happening–or how to handle it. 

I turned my gaze back to my father. He had stopped struggling and was simply looking at my mother. Were they speaking through their link? Whatever passed between them, she nodded slightly before stepping forward and sitting down. I followed her lead, 

Uncle Damien watched us, his usual jovial smile in place. But now, I saw it for what it was–an edge had always been there. The same expression, yet it felt entirely different in this moment 

“Great. Now that we’re all settled–well, except me, because I’ll be doing most of the talking. I know that’s strange for you Pierces–you talk, and everyone else listens.” His gaze slid to me again, and, once more, it softened. 

“It’s truly unfortunate that you have to be involved in this.” 

He sounded so… distant.

Finally, I found my voice. “What-” 

His eyes turned black, and his expression hardened. “I said I’ll be doing the talking.” 

Something about his tone made me clamp my mouth shut. 

He turned to my father. “Luther here has been keeping me company for the past two weeks. There was no medical procedure.” His lips curled into a smirk. “I simply wanted to spend some quality time with my best friend.” His voice dripped with mockery. “That’s what we are, right, Luther? Best friends. And best friends are supposed to be there for each other–not go behind the other’s back and tell their father that they’re unfit to lead a pack.” 

What was he talking about? 

My mother’s voice cut through the air, firm and unyielding. “Why don’t you stop with the theatrics and get to the point? Why are we here? What do want?”

Almost immediately, my father let out a sharp cry of pain, his body convulsing. My eyes widened in shock, while my mother went pale 

Damien’s expression darkened. “Every word spoken without my permission, every question asked without my consent, and I increase the pain threshold. Now, where were we?” 

He took a step 

toward me, and my wolf stirred inside me, growling in defense. Then, for the first time, I really smelled him. 

A scent so familiar–one I had noticed before but never placed. 

And just like that, it clicked. 

That day in Liam’s office. That scent I had picked up but couldn’t trace but it had smelt so familiar. 

It was him. 

Uncle Damien. 

As if he could read my thoughts, his lips twitched. “I’ve always admired how smart you are, Little Dove.” 

My breath caught. 

“Yes, it was me,” He continued. “I orchestrated the chaos that has unfolded over these past months. The first attack on Grayson? I arranged it. I killed those Alphas. I ordered the shooting. Every single thing–you can thank me for it.” His voice dropped lower, like he was about to share a secret. 

“But you want to know what my finest work yet i 

He leaned in, his next words chilling. 

“I stole the other twin.” 

is?” 

If shock had a physical form, it would have been the weight that crashed down on my chest in that moment. 

My mother, my father and I. We all froze. 

“Oh yes,” Damien continued, tilting his head slightly looking at my father, “We hadn’t gotten to that part yet, had we? I suppose I was too preoccupied with my grievances–the ones I never got over. The truth I discovered decades ago.

“Our father asked Luther to help him choose who was better suited to lead the pack. And Luther, being the perfect man he is, the one who never makes a wrong decision–who did he choose?” 

He scoffed.

“We all know who ended up leading the pack. My brother; Dylan’s father. But what I didn’t know, what I found out later, was that Luther had been the reason-” his voice rose, laced with venom “-my best friend–decided I was unfit to lead.” 

He let out a breath, his smirk returning. 

“So I did what any rational person would do.” His eyes gleamed. “I took something precious from him. I took one of you.” 

My mother’s voice broke, raw with emotion. “Where is my daughter?” 

She wasn’t just asking–she was pleading. 

But Uncle Damien–no, Damien because this man wasn’t my Uncle–only smiled. 

The man who had once comforted me, the one I had secretly wished was my father, the man who had always told me that one day, I would be free from the weight of my family name–he had been a lie. 

A monster, hiding in plain sight. 

He had stolen sister.

Damien tilted his head, “That,” He said smoothly, “is something I’ll never tell you. But rest assured–she’s had a good life. I raised her well. Raised her with the truth about who her real family is. How they were willing to let one of their daughters“– his eyes flicked to me-“die.”
