Sam’s POVNora’s panicked voice continued from the other end of the line.“And…” Nora’s voice dropped further into a terrified whisper, “if I’m not seeing things, Sam, I think one of them is that ridiculously handsome friend of Riven’s.”I blinked.“Karl?”“Yes, Karl! That’s him!”I almost laughed out from relief. Riven was already watching me carefully, trying to determine what was happening.I rubbed my forehead.“Nora, it’s okay.”“No, it’s is not okay! They’ve been here for the past one hour. Oh my God, I’m calling the police!”“Stop. It’s actually okay.”“What? Why?” she inquired with an almost annoyed voice.I smiled despite the tightness I felt in my chest.“The men are there because Riven sent them.”There was a cold silence from the phone.Then Nora spoke.“What?”I explained everything to her quickly. My earlier attack, how Riven had arrived just in time to the rescue… not getting into the details though… and the security he has ordered for our protection.I also told her h

Sam’s POVThe kiss left me breathless.For a few precious moments, everything else had disappeared, all of it fading behind the warmth of Riven’s touch.When we finally pulled apart, his forehead rested against mine. I could feel his breath against my skin, his heartbeat too. I could feel the strange connection between us stronger than ever.Yet despite everything, one terrifying thought popped back into my mind. I broke the kiss instantly, then pulled away.“Riven?”His eyes immediately found mine.“Hm?”My fingers tightened around his shirt I was still holding.“Am I going to die?”The words came out quieter than I’d intended, and I noticed the effect they had on him was immediate.His entire expression changed quickly, the softness disappearing… not out of anger, but because he looked genuinely disturbed by my question.“Samantha...”But I cut him off.“I’m sorry I can’t help but think that. I mean, I was attacked today.”The memory sent a shiver through me.“Those wolves wanted me

Sam’s POVAs I tried to lean closer to know what was really going on in the room, the study door suddenly swung open. I nearly jumped out of my skin.My heart immediately started pounding as all three men turned toward me. Great… so much for sneaking around unnoticed.For a brief second, nobody said anything, and I just stood frozen there in the doorway. Caught. My gaze then instinctively found Riven’s.I noticed how a frown sat on his face from whatever argument had been happening before I interrupted them. For one terrifying moment, I thought he might actually be angry with me.Then he smiled at me and just like that, the tension disappeared. The hard look in his eyes softened almost immediately. The change wasn’t so obvious that only I seemed to notice it.Unfortunately, not everyone in the room looked nearly as happy to see me. The man standing closest to the door was looking at me. Not just looking at me, but really staring.And the look in his eyes made me uncomfortable. There w

Riven’s POVThe images of wolves chasing Samantha through that narrow street haunted me, along with the thought that if I had arrived a minute later…I took a deep breath in the attempt to wave the thoughts away. Every time I thought about it, my wolf stirred with rage within.My hands clenched into fists as I listened to the two men there in the study with me talked. One of them said something I didn’t catch, and then there was silence.I looked up and both Ivan and Karl were staring at me, clearly waiting for my response. But I ignored whatever it was they had been saying and lifted myself from the desk.“I’m going to make Simon regret ever coming after her.” I said, my jaws tightening.Simon Hunter had spent years trying to catch up to my influence in the basketball game. And also being the Alpha of Crimson pack, he has always looked to disrupt Valora’s dominance of Oceandale city.Mostly failing in both intentions, the man had grown bitter and vengeful over the years. And since he

Sam’s POVI didn’t let go of Riven immediately. Even after the danger was gone… after the street had fallen silent… after the unexpected kiss.My hands remained clutching his shirt as my body struggled to recover from the terror of what he had just saved me from.Those men… No. Those animals. They had wanted me dead. That realization made my stomach turn with fear.Riven’s arms remained around me, strong and protective.Eventually, I pulled back enough to look at him. His eyes were now completely back to normal, not the other part of him that had just torn the men apart.“Come on. We’re leaving.” He said firmly.“What?” I asked, confused at the urgency in his voice.“You’re coming with me.”I blinked.“Why? Are more of those things coming after me?”“I’m guessing so. You’re not safe on the streets.”I thought about that for a second and my panic instantly returned as I thought of Clara alone in the hospital.What if the men were sent when I was with her. What if… what if she’s also in

Sam’s POVA werewolf. The word sounded ridiculous even inside my own head. Every time I thought about it, my logical mind immediately rejected it.Then I would remember his eyes, the way it glowed brightly. Slowly, as I thought of everything, it didn’t seem ridiculous anymore. It turned terrifying.Part of me had wanted to tell Nora when I got back home and she couldn’t stop talking about her day. Scratch that actually… I desperately wanted to tell her.I could already imagine her reaction. She would either think I had completely lost my mind or demand to meet Riven immediately and ask him a thousand questions.The thought almost made me laugh. But every time I opened my mouth, I didn’t know how to begin.I mean, how exactly was I supposed to explain this?“Hey Nora, remember the billionaire athlete I’ve fallen in love with? Turns out he’s actually a werewolf.”Yeah. That would go over well.I didn’t get much sleep that night. Again. But unlike the previous night, it wasn’t because I
