DominicVivian’s smile froze. “Renee?”“Yes. She needs a vehicle as soon as possible.” I said it casually, but I didn’t miss the flicker of annoyance in her expression. “I would prefer she had one before the semester started.”“You’re buying her a car?” she asked slowly, like she couldn’t quite beli
No. Honestly, not out of a desperate last-ditch effort to garner my sympathy, too scared or too ashamed—too hurt in some ways— to just ask. I closed my eyes and cursed under my breath.That kiss.I shouldn’t have let it happen. Shouldn’t have wanted it the way I did. I could still feel the soft heat
Planning a romantic cruise for a third anniversary hadn’t seemed like a bad idea. But when I discovered my best friend had been fucking with my husband—and in ten minutes, they were going to throw me into the sea—it changed everything.I stood in the corridor outside the cabin, peering through the s
I swallowed hard, my face burning as I stared up at Dominic. I couldn't help but trail the chiseled lines of his chest. My mouth went dry, and though I knew I shouldn't be staring, I couldn't help it. Seeing him again after three years should not have affected me so much, but the memories flooded ba
Philip exhaled sharply, rubbing his temple as if I were nothing but a headache. “Canceling a wedding isn’t child’s play, Renee. Especially not for a family of our stature. How many times have I told you that you must consider the pack in all things, and your marriage -- think of what it will look li
I expected him to push me off, to sputter and yell at me, but he didn't. Dominic groaned into my mouth, the sound sending a hot thrill down my spine. He kissed me back—fiercely, deeply, like he was starving to taste me—his hands clenched at my waist, pressing me flush against him as if he couldn’t
I descended the grand staircase, my red dress flowing around me like a wave of molten lava, cinched tight and clinging to every curve.I caught a glimpse of Vivian's face as I walked down, her lips pressing into a thin line, her eyes flashing with jealousy.Tyler stood near the buffet table, surroun
I was frozen at the altar, the weight of Philip’s compulsion still coiling around me like invisible chains, forcing me to keep silent, but Dominic's words echoed through me, giving me hope.My vision blurred with tears of relief. He looked down at me, meeting my gaze, and the anger on his face was l

“You, obviously. If he’s important to you—”“I didn’t say that,” she snapped, a little too quickly. “This isn’t about me. It’s about Renee not being a good friend. She knows I like him, and she’s still—still taking advantage of him being nice to her! She’s not even helping me!”I sat back, rubbing a
DominicI was in my office, the case files spread out in front of me like a puzzle I couldn’t quite solve. The docket number for Renee’s case sat at the top of every page, staring back at me in bold letters. Financial records, pack account logs, medical records, the guardianship order and so much of
“Lady Brightclaw,” they greeted. “Of course. Will you be overseeing the rest of the move?’“Of course. What are best friends for?”One of them opened the door and I smirked as I entered.Let’s the games begin.ReneeThe sound of Vivian’s huffing was music, but I didn’t feel at ease until we had alre
VivianI stared at Neil’s unmoved expression, clenching my fists at my side. I didn’t glance at Renee, but I could see the smug glint in her eye. Rage curled through my chest like smoke.He didn’t even look at me. Not really. Neil, who had always been polite—cold, yes, but polite—had dismissed me li
I leaned around as Vivian stepped forward.“Neil, it’s so nice to see you. Tyler’s part of my detail and they’re still working things out.”“I doubt that,” Neil said. “It’s good of you as the alpha’s daughter to try and look after your father’s new ward, but there’s no need to pretend like he’s got
Neil Eira was the son of a prominent alpha. I didn't know much about his pack, but I knew enough about Neil from having classes with him, since we were in the same program. He was dependable in ways that I hadn't appreciated before. And safe in ways that I had never thought really mattered.Until n
A deliciously vicious thought crossed my mind… what if Tyler had more than one secret girlfriend? I made a note to do everything in my power to find out and reveal it in the most painful way possible.“You’re being unreasonable. What are you going to do? Walk?” He cocked an eyebrow. “You can’t drive
