“I saw them meet with my own eyes.” Celeste Harrison placed one hand on her head, her face twisted with disgust. “If he still has something going on with that she–wolf, isn’t he just trying to get on my nerves? Even if we become mates in name only, I absolutely can’t stand him disgusting me!”

Her voice rose with each word, the anger radiating from her in waves. I could see the frustration building in her eyes as she paced back and forth in my healing chamber.

“I’m calling off this arranged mating alliance,” she declared firmly. “There’s no way I’m binding myself to someone connected to Sophia Rivers.”

I noticed the complicated expression crossing Celeste’s face as she spoke. Something about her reaction seemed deeper than simple disgust.

“What’s wrong?” I asked, studying her carefully.

Celeste shook her head, but I could see there was more she wasn’t saying. I decided to focus on the facts first.

“What’s the name of the Alpha you were supposed to be mated with?” I asked. “You

mentioned he was surnamed Xavier?”

“Yes, that’s right,” Celeste confirmed, her voice still tight with anger. “He goes by Felix. He told me himself that he’s the son of the former Riverside City bank president.”

She paused, her brow furrowing as if trying to recall something important.

“Oh! I remember now,” she said suddenly. “The former Riverside City bank president was surnamed Xavier. I heard my father mention it – he was called Fred Xavier. Could this Felix Xavier be his son?”

The name hit me like a physical blow. Fred Xavier, bank president. Something deep in my mind stirred, a fragment of memory trying to surface.

I clenched my hand involuntarily as the name echoed in my thoughts. Fred Xavier. Why did that name feel so significant?
