POV Killian
Whatever I was expecting—this wasn’t it.
The moment I saw her in that restaurant, holding a child who looked exactly like Paisley, I demanded the receipt from the manager. And there it was, in black and white: Elise Carrington, CEO and founder of La Louve Fragrances.
I was already nearly certain. But seeing her just now, standing right in front of me? There’s no longer a doubt.
Estela is alive.
But she isn’t the same woman I once knew.
No… the female I saw today is a force of nature. She’s radiant, commanding, laced with power. Still breathtakingly beautiful—but something in her has changed. She walks like an Alpha, speaks like a queen, and she had the nerve to threaten me.
And I enjoyed every second of it.
My wolf is going feral in my head, snarling, Claim her. Now.
