Skye's POV My brother's worst enemy had his fingers knuckle-deep inside me right nowâ finger-fucking meâ and I couldn't breathe. My back was pinned against the cold steel wall of the elevatorâ my skirt shoved up past my hipsâ my panties yanked to the sideâ my bra pushed above my breasts so they spilled out bare and swollenâ my nipples stiff and aching in the cold air. Two thick fingers were buried in my soaked pussyâ curling and thrustingâ his palm grinding against my clit with every stroke. Wetâ filthy sounds filled the tiny metal boxâ his fingers pumping in and out of meâ slick and obsceneâ mixed with my shameless moans bouncing off the steel walls. His free hand squeezed my exposed breast hardâ his thumb dragging rough circles over my nipple while his mouth brushed my ear. "Does your brother knowâ" he murmuredâ his voice low and wreckedâ "that his worst enemy has his fingers buried inside his little sister's dripping wet pussy right now?" A broken whimper escaped me. My walls clenched so tight around his fingers that he groaned against my neck. "Noâ" I gaspedâ grinding down on his hand. "He can never know â oh God â he can never find outâ" He curled his fingers deeper and my words dissolved into a scream. "Good girlâ" he whispered. "This stays between us." --- ~30 minutes earlier~ "Stay. Away. From. Thorne." My brother Ethan had only ever given me one rule that he neverâ ever bent on. I was fourteen when he drilled that into me. I remember because he never stopped ringing it in my ears. I never found out what happened between them. I asked onceâ a few weeks laterâ and the look Ethan gave me shut me up permanently. So I stopped asking. I stopped wondering. I just did what my brother told me to do. I stayed away. And honestlyâ that should have been easy. Thorne was Ethan's friendâ not mine. He was ten years older than meâ just like my brother. I was just the little sister who used to peek at him from behind the staircase railing whenever he came over to our house. But here was the thing nobody knew. Not my brotherâ not my momâ not a single soul on this earth. I had the biggest crush on Thorne Damian Anderson. It started when I was thirteen. He had come over for dinner one nightâ and he smiled at me when I handed him a glass of water. That was it. That was all it took. One stupid smile from a twenty-three-year-old manâ and my thirteen-year-old heart decided it was in love forever. Patheticâ right? After the falloutâ I buried that crush so deep I almost forgot it existed. For ten whole yearsâ I trained myself to feel nothing when his name came up. I avoided every event where he might show up. I scrolled past every article with his face on it. I pretended he was nobody to me. And it worked. It actually worked. Until a week agoâ when I miraculously landed a job offer that was too good to be true. The thing wasâ I never applied for the job. It found me. During my convocation ceremonyâ while I was still smiling in my cap and gownâ a woman in a sharp navy suit walked up to me and saidâ "Ms. Mooreâ your academic performance has caught the attention of our CEO. We'd like to offer you a position as his personal secretary. Starting salaryâ ten thousand dollars per month." I almost choked. "I'm sorryâ did you say ten thousand?" She smiled like she got that reaction a lot. "That's correct. Full benefits included. Are you interested?" Was I interested? I was a fresh graduate with a degree in management scienceâ a field my entire family believed was a one-way ticket to poverty. My brother had spent years telling me I had made the worst decision of my life by not studying medicine. "Skyeâ you're going to graduate and then what?" he had said during one of our many arguments. "You'll be lucky to get two thousand a month. Meanwhileâ I'm pulling in thirty thousand as a surgeon. Mom was a nurse. Dad was a doctor before he died. This family does medicine. Why do you have to be so stubborn?" "Because I pass out at the sight of bloodâ Ethan. You want me operating on someone while unconscious?" "Then be a nurse like Mom." "I hate needles." "You hate everything useful." That one had stung. It stung for a long timeâ actually. So when that woman offered me ten thousand dollars a month at my convocationâ I didn't hesitate. I said yes before she could finish her next sentence. I didn't ask about the company name. I didn't research the CEO. I didn't do any of the things a smartâ cautious person would doâ because I was too blinded by the number on that offer letter. That nightâ I sat across from Ethan and Mom at dinner and dropped the news with the biggest grin on my face. "Ten thousand a monthâ" I saidâ practically glowing. "As a secretary. Starting immediately after graduation." My mom put down her fork and stared at me. "Skyeâ that sounds too good to be trueâ sweetheart." "It's realâ Mom. I have the offer letter." Ethan leaned back in his chair and laughed. "Ten thousand? For a secretary? With zero experience?" He wiped his eyes like I had just told the funniest joke of the century. "Sureâ Skye. Sure." "I'll prove you wrongâ" I said through clenched teeth. "Just watch." And I meant it. I meant it with every single fiber of my being. Then my first day arrivedâ and everything fell apart. The building was enormousâ a massive tower of glass and steel that stretched so high I had to tilt my head all the way back just to see the top. Inside was worse. The hallways split into more hallways. The elevators required clearance cards I didn't have yet. I asked three different receptionists for directionsâ and each one pointed me somewhere different. By the time I finally found the boardroom on the thirty-second floorâ I was one full hour late. My hands were sweating as I pushed open the heavy glass doors. Every single seat at the long conference table was taken. Dozens of faces turned toward me at onceâ and at the far end of the roomâ a voice hit me like cold water. "You're late." It wasn't loud. It didn't need to be. The entire room had already gone dead silent. "I'm so sorryâ sirâ" I whisperedâ keeping my head down because I was too ashamed to look up. "The building was confusingâ and I couldn't find theâ" "I didn't ask for an excuse. Sit down." I rushed to the only empty chair at the far edge of the tableâ my heels clicking embarrassingly loud against the marble floor. I pulled out my notebook and pen with shaking handsâ flipped to a blank pageâ and finally looked up. My pen hit the floor. The sound echoed through the silent boardroom like a gunshotâ and every head turned toward me again. But I couldn't move. I couldn't do anything except stare at the man sitting at the head of the table. Thorne. He looked different from the man I remembered. Older. Harder. His jaw was sharperâ his shoulders were broaderâ and his eyes â those ice-blue eyes that had haunted my teenage dreams â were completelyâ terrifyingly cold. He wore a charcoal suit that fit him like it had been stitched directly onto his bodyâ and he sat in that chair like it was a throne built specifically for him. He stared right at me. Something flickered behind his eyesâ just for a secondâ like a match being struck and then immediately blown out. Then it was goneâ replaced by nothing but ice. "Ms. Latecomerâ" he saidâ his voice so calm it was almost gentleâ which somehow made it ten times worse. "Since you've decided to grace us with your presenceâ tell me â what were the last words I said?" My mouth openedâ but nothing came out. My brain had completely shut down. "Huh?" was all I managed. The silence in that room could have crushed bones. "I do not repeat myselfâ" he said. "Ever." "I... I don't knowâ" I whispered. My voice cracked on the last wordâ and I wanted the floor to open up and swallow me whole. He stared at me for what felt like an eternity. Then he scoffed â a shortâ dismissive sound that cut deeper than any insult could have â and leaned back in his chair. "I built this company from nothingâ" he saidâ addressing me but speaking loud enough for the entire room to hear. "Every person at this table earned their seat. They showed up early. They prepared. They proved they deserved to be here." His eyes locked onto mineâ and I felt my chest crack right down the middle. "I will not carry dead weight. Especially not in the person who is supposed to be my right hand." My eyes started burning. I blinked rapidlyâ trying to hold it togetherâ but the tears were already forming and there was nothing I could do to stop them. Then the next two words he said shattered me completely. "You're fired."Chapter 127Thorne's POVMy jaw ticked. It ticked again. And again. I could feel my teeth grinding together so hard it was a wonder they didn't crack.I didn't want to believe it. I really didn't. I wanted there to be some other explanationâ some misunderstandingâ some reason why Drake's name was anywhere near what had happened to Skye tonight. But the fact that he had run told me everything I needed to know. Innocent men don't run. Innocent men don't escape islands in the middle of the night after their Alpha's mate gets kidnapped and drugged with wolfsbane. Only guilty men do that.And Drake was guilty.The thought made something dark and heavy settle in my chest. Not sadness exactly. Something worse. Betrayal. The kind that sits in your gut like a stone and makes you question every single moment you ever shared with the person who caused it. Every conversation. Every time I trusted him with information. Every time I left him in charge and turned my back because I believed he had mi
Chapter 126 Skye's POV He carried me all the way back to our room without saying a word. Just held me close with my head against his chestâ and I listened to his heartbeat because it was the only thing that made me feel safe. When we got insideâ he laid me on the bed like I was something that could break if he wasn't careful enough. He fixed the pillow behind my headâ adjusted it twiceâ then pulled the blanket over my legs even though it wasn't cold. Then he took out his phone and called someone. "My mate was injected with wolfbane. Get here as soon as you can.â His voice was controlling and terrifying. "I don't know how much or how long ago. Just get here as fast as you can." He hung up without waiting for a response. Then he sat on the edge of the bed and took both of my hands in his. They were so small in his. My fingers were tremblingâ I couldn't stop themâ and his were steady and warm and solid as he wrapped them around mine. He lifted my hands to his mouth and pre
Chapter 125Skye's POVWe stopped moving.I didn't know how long we'd been going. Minutes? An hour? Time had lost all meaning inside this box. My legs were numb. My wrists were bleeding. The canvas bag was soaked with tears and sweat and every breath I took tasted like salt and oil and fear.But we stopped.I heard voices. Hushed urgent voices."âblocked. Someone sealed the east tunnelâ""What? How?""I don't know. There are men everywhere. We need to go back andâ""We can't go back! The boss saidâ"Then a very thunderous voice. "GET THEM!"Two words.Just two words.But I knew that voice. I knew it the way I knew my own heartbeat. I knew it in my bones and my blood and in every single fiber of my being.Thorne."Yesâ Alpha!"Chaos erupted.Shouting. Scuffling. The sound of bodies hitting stone. A snarlâ deepâ gutturalâ animal. Then a crackâ like bone meeting rockâ followed by a sharp cry of pain that didn't belong to anyone I cared about.The box I was in hit the ground hard. I gasp
Chapter 124 Thorne's POV I froze. Another flicker. Stronger this time. She was still on the island. The realization hit me like a lightning bolt. The bond was weak. Barely there. The wolfsbane was suppressing it almost completely. But I could feel the faintest trace of her and the direction it was pulling me was not southwest toward the mainland shipping lanes. It was northwest. She was moving northwest. Toward the caves. The caves that almost nobody knew about. Fuck. They weren't using the patrol boat. That was another decoy. The missing boatâ the southwest headingâ all of it was designed to send me and my search teams in the wrong direction while they took her through the underground cave system on the northwest side of the island. The caves that led to open water on the other side of the rock face where a second boat could be waiting completely undetected. And she was close to the exit. I could feel it in the bond. The faintest tug pulling northwest and gettin
