ANMELDENLana’s POVI had to take a cab to the interview. When we pulled up to the building, I asked the cab driver to wait while I stepped out and looked around. Despite my sneaking out and the trust I had gathered from the message, I still knew it was an odd request to have an interview at this hour.Looki
“Well, if you think so.” Kade reached out and pulled a tab for himself.I cast him a look. He wasn’t an applicant or an omega.He shrugged. “Just in case.”“Just in case what?” I asked, but he didn’t elaborate.“Come on,” he said. “We don’t want to be late for class.”I followed him, figuring he was
Lana’s POVThe next morning, I really didn’t want to face Kade again, not after our blowup the night before. But, all things considered, he had still saved my life, and our contract was still intact. Even if I was angry with him, for all appearances, we needed to continue to look and act like a coup

Kade’s arm curled more fully around me, tugging me toward him. I buried my face against his chest, and he didn’t move an inch as I cried.No, I couldn’t lose myself. Not here. Not yet. What if my father were to wake up again and see me like this? I needed to be strong for his sake.Gathering my stre
It was clear that Caleb was a stickler for the rules and never let Lana free from the little cage he kept her in last year.
