Chapter 86

[Sera]

It was one of those rare Seattle evenings where the rain takes a break and the sky turns the color of a bruise fading to yellow. I was sitting on the front step of Vance's with a cup of tea, watching th

• Addicted to His Rejected Mate   Chapter 105

  [Killian]I was in a room with no walls.Not darkness. Darkness has edges, corners, the suggestion of something beyond it. This was gray. A flat, featureless gray that extended in every direction without variation or end. Like standing inside a piece of paper that someone forgot to write on.I couldn't feel my body. Not numbness. Absence. The place where my hands should be was just more gray, and when I tried to move there was no feedback, no muscle or bone or resistance to push against. Just intention with nothing to act on.

  [Sera]Liora didn't sit. She leaned against the wall opposite the ICU window and crossed her arms. The cat settled on the floor between us like a referee."His wolf isn't dead," she said. "Dead would be simpler. What happened is worse. It shattered. The trauma, on top of months of depletion, broke it into fragments. Those fragments are scattered through the residual channels of your old bond.""Our bond was severed. I was there. You were the one who severed it."

  [Sera]The paramedics arrived before the police. I don't know who called them. Silas, probably. He was on the phone while I knelt on a carpet that had turned warm and dark under my knees, pressing both hands against Killian's chest while Lulu screamed from the rocking chair where I'd set her down because I needed both hands and couldn't hold them both at the same time.That was the choice. Hold your daughter or keep a man's blood inside his body. I chose the blood. Lulu screamed and I chose the blood, and if that is a thing I have to carry for the rest of my life, then fine. Add it to the pile.

  [Killian]The hallway was nine feet long. Conrad stood at one end. I stood at the other. Between us was his security consultant with an undrawn weapon and fifty years of accumulated certainty that the world would do what it was told.I'd done this math before. Boardrooms, negotiations, the particular arithmetic of power where you count leverage and exposure and available exits. But the math had never included a gun, or a child five feet behind me breathing into her mother's neck, or the sound of Silas somewhere downstairs, motionless, coiled.

  [Sera]Silas drove the way he did everything. Without excess. No tire squeal pulling out. No dramatic acceleration on the highway. Just a steady velocity that felt faster than the speedometer showed, like the car itself had agreed to cooperate.The rain was heavy now. Not Seattle's usual mist but real rain, the kind that turns windshields into waterfalls between wiper strokes. I sat behind Silas. Killian sat behind the passenger seat. Between us, the middle seat held his phone, face-up, tracking the route.Nobody spoke for the first ten mi

  [Killian]"Here's what's going to happen," Conrad said. He used the same cadence he'd used in boardrooms for fifty years. Unhurried. Certain. The cadence of a man who has never been interrupted because no one in his life had ever dared."You will sign a full retraction of the board motion and issue a public statement that the audit findings were based on misinterpretation. My executive authority will be reinstated by Monday morning. In return, the child will be home by tomorrow evening. Simple terms. Clear outcomes. This is what I've been trying to teach you, Killian. Everything is a negotiation. Even family."

  [Sera] "What if I say no?" The words hang between us like a dare. Killian's jaw tightens, and for a moment, I see something flicker behind those icy gray eyes—surprise, maybe. Like he genuinely didn't consider that possibility. Rich people. They really do live in their own reality, don't they?

• Addicted to His Rejected Mate   Chapter 7

  [Sera] "You look like shit." Riley's standing at the espresso machine, watching me wipe down the counter with the intensity of someone who's already diagnosed my entire medical history through vibes alone. The morning rush just ended, leaving the café in that blessed mid-morning lull where only

  [Sera] The words hit like ice water. Like a blade sliding between my ribs. He meant it. Every cold, calculated syllable. To him, I was just another acquisition. Another problem to be solved with money and power. His finger still held my chin, and I yanked away from his touch like it burned. It

• Addicted to His Rejected Mate   Chapter 11

  [Sera] The apartment is too quiet. Not peaceful quiet. The kind of quiet that presses in on you, like the walls are holding their breath, waiting for something to explode. I sit at the dining table with a book open in front of me that I haven't read a single word of. I've been staring at the sam
