Even though Roman had displayed his possessive devotion to Willow before the entire pack countless times, she still felt a traitorous heat creep into her cheeks whenever he claimed her so openly.

"I’ll see you at the next moon," Vincent Hale said, throwing Willow one last inscrutable look before disappearing into the hall.

Turning back, Willow found the stranger’s curious gaze anchored on her. He stood, his movements fluid and predatory, and crossed the room to offer a hand.

    "You're mine, Willow!"He slammed his mouth against hers. Revulsed, she wrenched her head away before he could force his way in. In the chaos of their struggle, a sudden, thunderous pounding on the hotel door reached her ears.Hope surged through her. Just as she drew breath to scream for help, a familiar roar shook the room."Willow! Open this door!"Roman?A sob of pure relief broke from her throat. "Roman! Roman, help me!""Shut your mouth!" Tyler hissed, yanking her hair again. His eyes were void of any humanity now, dark and feral as he tried to smother her face with his own. "I won't let you run to him. You belong to me!"Willow fought with everything she had, keeping her face turned away as they stumbled across the room."Willow! What the fuck—"Roman’s voice was cut off. A new wave of terror hit her when the shouting stopped, but then the entire door frame groaned under a massive, violent impact."Roman!" she cried out. "Release me, Tyler!""You're staying!"When his lips touc

    Willow cleared her throat, the damp fabric of her dress sticking to her skin. "Yes, forgive me. I was simply... concerned for Jade’s safety."Tyler’s volatile mood shifted instantly. A look of heavy adoration returned to his eyes as they scanned her again. "I know. My Willow is always carries the weight of the pack on her shoulders."He slid closer on the sofa, his hand snaking out to grasp hers. "Did I ever mention how this crimson shade suits you? It makes your skin look like porcelain under the moonlight."When his thumb began to stroke her knuckles, Willow tried to retract her hand, but his fingers clamped down with surprising strength. He didn't break eye contact as he reached up with his free hand, tucking a stray, sodden lock of hair behind her ear."You grow more breathtaking with every moon cycle. Redwood Bay agrees with you, I can see it." His voice dropped to a low, husky vibration.Unease coiled in Willow’s gut. she pulled her hand back with a sharp tug and shifted further

    Tyler: I am leaving for the Northern Wastes tonight. I don’t know when I will see Redwood Bay again. Can you please meet me one last time before I go? I want to carry the memory of your smile with me.Her heart sank. He was leaving? Tonight?It made sense. After the way she had rejected him and the way Roman had sabotaged his rank, why would he stay? He had a life to rebuild elsewhere. But she didn't want him to leave with a heart full of bitterness. She wanted to apologize for Roman's cruelty one last time.Sniffling, she stood up and walked back to her car. When the phone buzzed again with the Alpha’s name, she didn't hesitate—she powered it off.If she wasn't important enough for the truth, then he could spend the night wondering where she was. Let him taste his own medicine.Willow knocked on the heavy door and waited. The corridor of the Harborview Hotel was drafty and deserted. This part of the city was old, the building tucked away from the main thoroughfares, which was likely

    Willow’s gaze remained fixed on the heavy oak door of the master suite. She hesitated, the silence of the room weighing on her, until the cruel words he had spat echoed in her mind again. You have no right. You are just a guest. The ache in her chest flared into a fresh, hot anger. Gritting her teeth, she wiped her cheeks with a trembling hand, her eyes hardening."Goodbye, Roman Vale!""No! Don't you dare, Willow—"She slammed the heavy entrance to the penthouse shut, cutting off the sound of his frantic, violent pounding against the bedroom door. She strode toward the lift, her heart hammering in sync with the relentless rhythm of her tears. The sentinels in the hall watched her with wide, confused eyes, sensing the Alpha’s mounting territorial rage.Just as she stepped into the lift, a distant, splintering thud reached her ears. She knew that sound. He had shifted or used his brute strength to tear the bedroom door from its hinges. But he was too late. He couldn't reach her now.As

    His gaze snapped back to her. Instant, crushing guilt washed over his face as the reality of his venom set in. The agony he had just inflicted on her was reflected clearly in the gray of his eyes.“Willow...” he choked out. He reached for her, cupping her face to force her to look at him. “I’m sorry, baby. I am so sorry. I didn't mean it. You are my entire world. You are the only reason I still walk this earth...”She shook her head, pulling back. A single tear escaped. “You cannot simply spit poison and then ask for forgiveness. You accused me of treachery and then told me I am nothing to you but a guest in your house.”The words felt like a physical weight. She knew he was drowning in his own trauma, but he couldn't use her as a punching bag for his rage.“You aren't my Roman. My mate would never bark at me in such a way. He would never seek to wound me so deeply. You aren't the male who vowed to never hurt me by choice.” She pulled his hands from her face. “And you are hurting me b

    “I don’t care what is in his heart!” she cut him off, her voice rising to match his. “Nor do I wish to find out. I thought I knew your heart, Roman. But standing here now? I realize I don’t know you at all.”A single tear escaped, tracking down her face as she stared at him. His gaze followed the drop, his hands clenching into white-knuckled fists.“You deceived me,” she whispered. “I didn't think my Roman would weave such a web of lies.”His lips pressed into a thin, hard line. “I don’t recall a moment where you asked for a report on Tyler’s career path or the specifics of his relocation.”“That is merely one of the shadows you’ve hidden. But I’m not referring to that right now,” she said, her voice turning cold. “I am talking about the night your sire died. You told me he took his own life. But that was a fabrication. He didn't end his own vigil; he was murdered.”Roman’s entire frame went rigid. The rage evaporated, replaced instantly by an unreadable, stony mask. But no matter how

    "I'm obsessed with them!"Willow took the container from him, leaning in. The rich, sugary scent of dark cocoa drifted to her nose, making her mouth water instantly."Come here," Roman murmured. Grabbing her hand, he led her toward the stone balcony perimeter. A startled squeak escaped her as he gr

    Jade’s question caught Willow off guard, cutting through her heavy thoughts about pack politics and old grudges."Excuse me?" Willow countered. Why was she asking that now? Jade knew the delivery of blood-red roses had become a relentless morning ritual at the Grant House."Save the bouquet from th

    "Did you truly imagine I would be bought by a deed to land?"The flicker of stunned disbelief in Roman’s gray eyes was unmistakable, though he quickly masked it with a sharp clearing of his throat. "How did you find out? And no, Willow. I would never view you as someone who could be purchased.""It

    His eyes snapped up from the screen of his device. Standing in the center of the den, the Alpha’s features mirrored the storm of fury radiating from her. He had been glaring at his handheld unit with lethal intensity when she had crashed through the heavy oak doors. Willow knew exactly what was spi
