When wolves hunt, the weak run. But Della was never as weak as they thought
View MoreI pressed my ear against the door, straining to hear what was happening in the hallway. Marcus's voice came through muffled but panicked. "Look, man, I don't know who you are, but this is between me and my girlfriend—" "Ex-girlfriend." Kade's voice was cold enough to freeze blood. "And you're going to leave. Now." "I'm not going anywhere until Della talks to me!" A low growl rumbled through the hallway. Not human. Definitely not human. My wolf surged forward, recognizing her mate's aggression. She wanted out. Wanted to stand beside him. I pushed her down. Not yet. Not here. "Last warning," Kade said softly. "Walk away. Or I'll make you." "Are you threatening me?" Marcus laughed. "I'll call the cops—" The sound of a body hitting the wall cut him off. "Call whoever you want," Kade said. "But you'll do it from the ground floor. Not outside her door. Are we clear?" Silence. Then footsteps. Fast. Running down the stairs. I sagged against the door, my heart pounding. Part of me
The lock clicked. The door opened. Kade stepped inside and closed it behind him. His face was calm but I could see the tension in his shoulders. The gold still flickering in his eyes. "He's gone," he said. "I heard." My voice shook. "One week. He gave me one week." Kade crossed the room in three strides. "He's not taking you anywhere." "You don't understand. When my father makes a threat, he follows through. He'll come back with more wolves. He'll—" "Della." Kade's hands framed my face. "Look at me. Breathe." I tried. But panic was crawling up my throat. Five years of freedom, about to disappear. Five years of building a life, about to crumble. "I can't go back," I whispered. "I can't marry some stranger. I can't live under his control again. I can't—" "You won't." Kade's thumb brushed my cheek. "I won't let that happen." "How? You heard him. The Eastern Pack alliance—" "Is not my problem. You are." His silver eyes locked onto mine. "You're my mate, Della. That changes every
The world stopped. My father was here. In this club. Looking for me. Five years of hiding. Five years of building a new life. Gone in one night. "How many?" Kade's voice was sharp. Controlled. Alpha mode activated. "Six wolves," Thomas said. "Including the alpha. They're in the main club area. They showed Della's picture to Rico." My legs felt weak. I grabbed the back of a chair to steady myself. "Did Rico tell them anything?" Kade asked. "No. He said he'd never seen her. But Alpha Hart doesn't believe him. He's threatening to search the building." Kade's eyes flashed gold. "This is my territory. He can't—" "He's doing it anyway," Thomas interrupted. "He says his daughter is in danger. That he has the right to search any building if he believes she's there." "Della." Kade turned to me. His face was calm but his eyes were fierce. "Do you want to see him?" Yes. No. I don't know. "I—" My voice wouldn't work properly. "I can't. If he finds me, he'll make me go back.
My hands shook as I reached for my mask. Every instinct screamed at me to run. But Kade's silver eyes held me frozen in place. "Don't," I whispered. "Please don't make me." His hand dropped away from my face. He took a step back, giving me space. The loss of his heat made me want to move closer again. My wolf whined at the distance. "You feel it too," he said. Not a question. A statement. "The pull. The bond." I couldn't lie. Not about this. Wolves could smell lies. "I feel it." My voice cracked. "But it doesn't matter." "Doesn't matter?" His eyes flashed gold. "You're my mate, Della. How does that not matter?" "Because I left that world behind!" The words burst out of me. "I left my pack. I left my father. I built a human life. I own a bakery. I have an apartment. I have—" I stopped. I was going to say I had Marcus. But I didn't. Not anymore. "I have a life that doesn't include pack politics or alpha commands or any of it." Kade was quiet for a long moment. He walked t
