LOGINI let out a bitter laugh. “That’s all he ever was to you, wasn’t it?”Silence.“And now you expect me to be the same?” I asked.His eyes sharpened. “You are the same. You have a duty to this pack and the pack comes first. Your position as the next Alpha comes first.”The certainty in his voice made
Kai.By the time I reached the mansion, my hands were still shaking.I killed the engine of my motocycle, the sound echoing too loudly in the quiet driveway. For a moment, I didn’t move. I just sat there, gripping the handlebars, trying to steady my breathing.Aria’s face flashed in my mind.Those g
