EVELINE

She didn’t remember running. One moment, she was standing in that corridor, watching Maeve’s lips press against Lucian’s. The next, her legs were carrying her down the hall, past the nurses’ station, past the elevators, and the faces of everyone she walked past were a blur.

Her wolf was causing a storm under her skin, pushing against the inside of her ribs like it wanted to tear its way out. Eveline had never felt her wolf this agitated before. Not when she caught Damon with Ruby, and

    Patrick set up a meet-up in our group chat that afternoon, something to shake off the events of the week. I'm the only one in our group with a car, so it's always mine or nothing when we need to get somewhere together. Noah took shotgun without asking, same as always, while Patrick and Mark folded themselves into the back. "Are you good?" Noah asked, glancing over as I pulled out of the lot. "Peachy," I muttered. "You didn't sound very peachy after practice," Patrick pointed out from behind me. "We heard you going off on Roden all the way from the locker room, for what he did during the last match." "I wanted to hit him, if I'm being honest," I replied. "That's about as peachy as I've got in me right now." Noah snorted. "My guess is half the athletic building heard it too, the way your voice was carrying." "He wasn't wrong to lose it a little," Mark said, more carefully than the others. "I mean Roden was being a complete hog during the game." "Tell that to him," I sighed

    EVELINEHe exhaled, some of the tension bleeding from his shoulders. He gestured toward the living room, but she didn't move. She didn't want to sit. She didn't want to make this feel like a conversation. She wanted to get it over with and retreat to the safety of her four walls."You saw what happened in my office today," he said, cutting straight to the point. "I'm not going to pretend it didn't. But I need you to know that Maeve kissed me. I didn't kiss her back. I didn't invite it. And I made it very clear to her that it was unacceptable and it would never happen again."Eveline crossed her arms over her chest, shielding herself. "You don't have to explain anything to me. We're not—""I know what we are not." His voice was sharper now, edged with frustration. "You've made it very clear that what happened that night was a mistake. A one-time thing that we should forget. But I can't forget it, Eveline. And I don't think you can either."Her jaw tightened. "You don't know what I can

    EVELINE She made it through the rest of the day without seeing him.It wasn't easy, every time she stepped out of the Psychology department, her eyes scanned the corridor, searching for that tall, broad-shouldered frame that Lucian carried. Every time the elevator doors opened, her heart froze, bracing for his face to appear. She could feel her phone buzzing in her drawer even though she had kept it off, and the phantom vibrations meant she had to physically stop herself from reaching for it.But she didn't see him. Not once.That was good, it was the plan, even. She had spent the past several hours reminding herself of all the reasons why Lucian Vale was a terrible idea, and she didn't need him showing up and undoing all that careful work with one look from those piercing eyes.You're being dramatic, her wolf muttered. He didn't do anything wrong. She kissed him. He didn't kiss her back."Doesn't matter," Eveline whispered under her breath, shuffling through a stack of patient intak

    LUCIANLucian stood in the center of his office, breathing hard, his hands clenched into fists at his sides. The urge to punch something; the wall, the desk, anything, was almost overwhelming. But he forced himself to breathe. To center himself. To push the rage down.She's wrong, he told himself. Eveline will choose me. She has to.But even as he thought it, doubt crept in. Maeve had been right about one thing: Eveline had been burned before. Damon had betrayed her, humiliated her, shattered her trust in ways that Lucian was only beginning to understand. And now, because of Maeve’s little stunt, Eveline had seen him with another woman, a woman who had once meant something to him, even if that was long over.How could he possibly explain that to her?He decided he couldn't. Not through a text or even through a phone call. He needed to see her; look into her eyes and make her understand that she was the only one in his life.He strode out of his office and down the corridor briskly. He

    LUCIANHe watched Eveline walk away. Her spine, her shoulders, and steps were too rigid. She didn't look back or slow down, and she certainly didn't give him a single glance that might have told him what was burning behind those hazel eyes.Lucian's jaw tightened. His wolf surged against his ribs, desperate to follow, to catch her, to pull her into his arms and explain that whatever she thought she'd just witnessed was not what it looked like. But he forced himself to stay still. Chasing her down the corridor would only make things worse. It would look like guilt and would look like he had something to hide.And he didn't. What he did have was a problem standing directly in front of him, still licking her lips like she had just tasted something satisfying."Maeve."Her name came out cold and flat. The kind of voice he used when delivering bad news to a patient's family.Maeve Bennett tilted her head and gave him that infuriating smile that curved her cherry-red lips. She was beautiful

    EVELINE She didn’t remember running. One moment, she was standing in that corridor, watching Maeve’s lips press against Lucian’s. The next, her legs were carrying her down the hall, past the nurses’ station, past the elevators, and the faces of everyone she walked past were a blur. Her wolf was causing a storm under her skin, pushing against the inside of her ribs like it wanted to tear its way out. Eveline had never felt her wolf this agitated before. Not when she caught Damon with Ruby, and definitely not when she woke up in that hotel room with a stranger’s mark on her neck. But this… this made her want to shift and break something. She shoved through the heavy door to the stairwell and let it slam behind her. The echo bounced off the concrete walls, and the sharp crack did nothing to quiet the noise in her head. She gripped the cold metal railing and pressed her forehead against the painted cinderblock, forcing herself to breathe. Her heart was still hammering. Her palms were
