Liza practically shoved Willow out the door, already turning to the copier. "I'll handle the printing. Go, before the Alpha gets here!"

Heaving a frantic sigh, Willow rushed to the gilded VIP lift. She expected a struggle; surely there were sentries guarding the private ascent to the Lanka Alpha’s lair. They knew Blair, but Willow was a ghost from the past. Would they even let a junior designer through?

When the doors slid open on the fiftieth floor, her instincts were proven right. Two massive

    Why was a ghost from her past haunting this frequency?The device buzzed again in her palm, but this time it was a text. Willow’s thumb hovered over the screen, trembling."Who is reaching out?"The deep roll of Roman’s voice made her jump. She spun around, sliding the phone back into her silk clutch with practiced speed. "It’s just Elaine. She’s checking to see if we reached the coastal territory safely."She couldn't utter Tyler Boone’s name. No matter how enchanting Roman was being tonight, his protective streak was a volatile thing. Jealousy was a jagged edge on an Alpha, and she refused to let a shadow ruin the first peace they’d found in years. She would deal with the obsessed Enforcer from her Manhattan days later.Roman nodded, though his eyes lingered on her face a second too long. He set the heavy silver trays on the table and pulled out her chair."Thank you," she whispered, sinking into the seat.As he sat across from her, she couldn't help but stare at his broad shoulders

    Seeing the rigid set of his shoulders and the way his pupils bled into the dark gray of his irises made Willow second-guess the daring cut of her silk dress. They were entirely isolated in the coastal silence of Redwood Bay, far from the prying eyes of the pack. He hadn't even caught sight of the nonexistent back of the garment yet.As Roman closed the distance, his predatory grace unwavering, her pulse spiked. She stood her ground, refusing to let him scent the sudden spike of adrenaline—or the longing—in her blood. But her resolve was a fragile thing. As he loomed over her, she stammered, "W-what are you doing?"He remained silent, his intensity speaking for him. He raised a hand, tracing the line of her throat with a touch so light it felt like a ghost of a brand. Willow shivered, her inner wolf stirring. Reaching for the nape of her neck, he deftly unpinned her hair, letting the chestnut waves spill over her bare shoulders."This is how you should always be," he murmured, his brea

    The Enforcer gave a submissive dip of her head before leaving the two of them in the silence of the bedroom. "I'll be right outside, Roman. My ears are open," Blair whispered, pulling the heavy oak door shut.Roman moved to the edge of the mattress, his frame casting a long shadow. His gaze drank in her sleeping form—the Willow who had haunted his dreams for seven years. Her eyes, the color of a mountain lake, were hidden behind thick lashes. As her eyelids fluttered, he reached out, his calloused fingers grazing her skin with the reverence of a prayer. From her flushed cheeks to her soft, parted lips, and down the pale column of her throat, he traced her.He leaned down, burying his face in the crook of her neck. The scent hit him like a physical blow—honey and bright citrus, the signature of his mate. It acted like ice on the fever of his soul. His heart, usually a drum of war, found its rhythm again. My Willow. A low growl vibrated in his chest. Her skin was like silk, and her soft

    The curious stares radiating from the council table were suffocating. Irritating, impossible man, Willow thought, her skin still prickling from his proximity. She glanced at the clock, realizing the sands were running out on his ultimatum.Though her heart had already betrayed her, she knew facing him in the predatory silence of his office was a tactical error. He had a way of unraveling her logic with a single look. Reaching for her phone beneath the table, she drafted a quick link-message.Yes.Her device buzzed almost instantly against her palm.Yes, what? You finally admit you are my Luna?Willow’s eyes widened, and she nearly choked. No! I mean, yes, I will go on the date. She hurriedly typed a follow-up. But do not mistake this for a surrender. We are going out as friends. Nothing more.Across the table, she saw Roman’s jaw turn to granite. His gray eyes hardened into flint. When he looked up, she refused to flinch, holding his gaze with a defiant tilt of her chin.Another vibra

    The physical reaction was instantaneous, a wildfire leaping through Willow’s nerves. She had no idea what depths he intended to plunge into next, and for a fleeting second, she tried to maintain her icy resolve. She tried not to respond. But when Roman sought her lips as if they were the only cure for a lifelong thirst, his earlier ultimatum became a blur.Surrendering, she locked her arms around his neck, pulling the Alpha closer and meeting his hunger with a desperate, silver-etched passion of her own. Roman let out a low, territorial groan. In one fluid motion, he pinned her against the stone wall, capturing both of her wrists above her head with a single hand. His other hand traced the line of her waist, his touch heavy and possessive.Willow’s body arched into him, a silent plea for more, but fate was a cruel mistress. He pulled back abruptly, leaving her breathless and whimpering. The words come back died on her tongue, but she knew her eyes were screaming them for her.A jagged

    Roman moved with the lethal, restless energy of a caged predator. Behind him, several pack enforcers in dark suits scurried to keep pace, their voices hushed and desperate as they went over territory reports. The sharp line of Roman’s jaw and the dark shadow of a day’s worth of stubble signaled a mood that was volatile at best. No wolf with a lick of survival instinct would dare cross his path today.Willow’s eyes widened. Before he could scent her, she spun on her heel and bolted toward the emergency staircase. It was a five-story climb to the executive wing, but she welcomed the burn in her lungs as a distraction. Her mind screamed for her to stay away, yet her feet seemed to have a will of their own, eventually leading her back toward the heart of the Vale Compound.Once she reached the fifth floor, she forced thoughts of the Alpha into a locked corner of her mind. She had a more pressing concern: Blair. Her sister’s exhausted, hollow expression from the night before haunted her, a
