"You only know how to defend your Alpha!" Mike snarled into the receiver before slamming it down.

I was back in the suite, and every muscle in my body felt like it had been put through a professional checking drill. Between the gnawing void in my stomach and the sheer, relentless intensity Ethan had shown on the ice—and off of it—I felt like I was fading. He seemed to have a primal, bottomless well of energy when it came to breaking me down.

At two in the morning, a heavy rapping echoed against

    Are you starving?" McQueen asked as he carried Layla into the kitchen."A little. Is Daddy going to be furious with me for biting?" Layla asked, her golden eyes suddenly clouded with worry."He won't. That dirtbag crossed the line by scenting you without permission. You should play as rough as you want when you're facing a stray like him," McQueen said, setting her on a stool. "If Collins tries to pin it on you, I’ll be your shield!"I led Ethan into the downstairs clinic room. Since I often worked on tech prototypes, I kept plenty of medical supplies on hand for minor burns or scrapes."I’m sorry, Layla doesn't understand the power of her own jaw yet." I felt a pang of guilt seeing the jagged marks on his palm. It was already beginning to bleed. "You should call it a day. You don't have to stay and prep the meal."Ethan looked distractedly around the room, his eyes lingering on the high-tech equipment. "I’m fine. I’ll just throw on some kitchen gloves once we’re done here. A little n

    Suddenly, the suite was plunged into darkness. I held my breath, waiting for him to cross the room, but the sound of wood creaking came from the opposite side. He was settling onto the hard desk."Since when did you start caring about how I feel?" I couldn't keep the sharp edge out of my voice. "Are you trying to catch your death out here? It’s below freezing!"Ethan didn't expect me to snap. He flicked the light back on, the sudden glare blinding me. I immediately dove under the thermal covers, hiding my face.Ethan strode over to the bunk and ripped the blanket back, exposing my flushed skin."Collins, you've spent weeks hating me because I trampled over your heart. I’m not making that mistake twice."I blinked, my mind a mess of static. "W-Why aren't you wearing a shirt?""I didn't pack for an overnight stay.""Then don't take a frost-bath in the communal sinks!" I was so furious I felt lightheaded. "What are you waiting for? Get in before you turn into an ice block!"I had a naggi

    "I'm here to make things right."Ethan didn't seem to care that he’d been led into a trap. His only focus was the fact that he was finally standing in front of me. "Collins, were you really trying to freeze me out by coming all the way to the border?"His stare was intense, like a predator tracking its mate. Even in the shadows of the training forest, he could see the silver tracks of tears on my face."You know exactly why I chose the north, so why follow me?" I looked toward the snow-covered ground, refusing to lock eyes. I knew my own heart was a traitor; one look at him and every wall I’d built would crumble into the permafrost."McQueen mentioned you took the flight alone. I couldn't just sit in the estate knowing you were up here." His hands slid down my arms, his fingers warm against my skin, before he gripped my palms. "Let’s get you out of this wind."Before I could breathe, Ethan scooped me into his arms!I gasped, my heart hammering against my ribs. I landed a solid punch a

    "I'm over that rogue. I truly am. I just didn't expect him to pull the puck from the net and kill my chance to stack some real coin!"Jess’s voice was sharp, a low growl beneath the surface. Mason Carter leaned back, a lazy smirk on his face."You've already skimmed three hundred million off the top, Jess. That’s more than enough to buy a private island," Mason said, his eyes scanning her. "So, where’s the next destination?""Skydrivee.""What’s the appeal of Skydrivee? You spent half a decade there. Let’s pick a new territory!"A dark, jagged grin spread across Jess’s face. "You honestly think I’m flying out for a vacation? I have unfinished business on that ice.""Unfinished business?" Mason looked genuinely stumped. "I thought you were settling into the Valeria pack for good. What could possibly be left for you there?""I’ll fill you in when we touch down."At high noon, Tyler Dawson swaggered into the executive den at Silvercrest Holdings."Let’s go hit the local pub, Ethan! My tr

    "Let me guess, your High Alpha told you to track me down and sniff around for updates? Does he actually have a spine, or does he just send his betas to do the dirty work?" I growled into the phone, the link to McQueen crackling with my irritation.Reading those persistent text pings from McQueen only made my blood boil hotter.McQueen: (Tell your boss to quit hiding behind a screen. If he’s such a dominant, tell him to haul his tail over here and face the music himself!)McQueen: (Can you actually use your voice, or are you just a keyboard warrior today?)McQueen: (I’m done talking. I can’t wrap my head around what kind of cursed moon Collins was under to ever bond with a low-life rogue like that!)The phone rang instantly. It was McQueen. I snapped the connection open."Take a look out your front gate... I have a gut feeling the High Alpha is lurking," McQueen said, his tone surprisingly level. "His sentries mentioned a pile-up on the main ice-bridge back to the city. That’s the only

    Layla’s gaze turned soft, her voice a small whisper. "Of course! It’s the Pups' Festival tomorrow. I want to find something special for Isabella! She’s always looking out for us with those charms."Hayden remained a silent shadow by the wall. He didn't voice a protest, which was his way of giving a nod to the plan.I took a breath, feeling the weight of the secret in my chest. "Ethan Carter is joining us for the meal tomorrow."The pups went still, their eyes tracking me with sudden intensity. They didn't growl or argue, but I couldn't read the currents beneath the surface.That night, once the den was quiet and the moon was high, the siblings huddled under their furs for their usual hushed talk."I don't want to share a table with that Rogue Alpha," Layla muttered, her tail tucked in frustration."We do it for Daddy," Hayden countered. He held a deeper grudge against Ethan than Layla ever would, but he was protective of my heartbeat. He knew stress was a predator I didn't need right
