The silence in that cramped bathroom was deafening as a second, faint pink line began to crawl across the plastic. It was pale, barely a shadow, but in the world of the supernatural, there was no such thing as a "maybe."

I was carrying a wolf.

My knees hit the floor. I sat on the closed toilet lid, staring into the void, my mind trapped on that thin streak of color.

Carllo snatched the test from my hand, her face contorting into a mask of pure, unadulterated rage. "Gods above, did Andrew Wolfe

    I held my breath, the sterile scent of the infirmary fading as the heavy, musky aroma of cedar and rain—Andrew’s scent—filled my senses."If I wasn't concerned about you, Lanka, why would I be standing here?"His voice was nonchalant, but it sent my pulse into a frantic, erratic rhythm. That protective streak, that flash of heat in his silver eyes... it sparked a tiny, dangerous ember of hope in my chest.My eyes misted over before I could stop them. "When I drew blood from Serena last time, did you feel sorry for her then, too? Did you press ice to her face and hold her like this?"Andrew let out a low, dark chuckle. "Take a guess, little wolf."He didn't say no. That meant he had.I felt a surge of white-hot irritation. I wanted to smash the ice pack against his skull. I tried to twist away in anger, but Andrew stepped into my personal space, his powerful frame caging me against the cold tiles of the bathroom wall. I had to tilt my head back just to glare at him.His lips curved int

    "Lanka, I bought this bracelet myself. How could it possibly belong to your family? Framing me with such a pathetic excuse... it's not a good look for you."Serena’s voice broke into fresh sobs, but I didn't let go of her wrist. I pulled it closer, my eyes narrowing as I scrutinized the stone. At a distance, it was a dead ringer for the Monroe Jade, but up close, the deception fell apart. The band was narrower, the luster was off, and the deep, emerald heart was faded by at least twenty percent. It was a high-grade imitation, but it wasn't my bloodline’s stone.I hadn't looked closely enough in the mall. I’d let my rage blind me to the details."Ow!" Serena cried out.Lydiasa lunged forward, smacking my hand away. "Get your paws off him!"Before I could stumble back, a dark, heavy presence filled the space behind me. Andrew reached out, his hand steadying me as he pulled me protectively against his chest.In that moment, Cedric arrived, carrying a massive fruit basket and a bouquet of

    Carllo realized his "tough-love" routine was hitting a wall with a teenager and quickly backpedaled, “Hey, I was just messing with you, kid; don't take it to heart.”Lucas gave him a sharp eye roll, sporting a smug look that said as if I’m as gullible as you.At the sight of them bickering, my lips curled slightly. For a brief second, the weight on my chest lifted.At the hospital, Carllo got an urgent call from his director to head back to the studio, leaving me to pace the sterile hallway outside the ER alone. The doctors did their assessment and soon had Lucas moved to a private suite for observation.Maren Cole rushed in, her scent sharp with anxiety, and immediately lit into me. “I told you to watch over him! How the hell did you let Lucas end up fainting and hospitalized? Can you do anything right, Lanka?”Seeing me catch heat, Lucas hopped off the bed in a jiffy, his "weakness" vanishing. “I’m fine, Maren; lay off Lanka. This was my play; blame me.”Maren, freaked out by his su

    I whipped my head around as the sea of onlookers suddenly cleaved in two. Two rows of Enforcers in black tactical gear surged forward, clearing a path with practiced, lethal efficiency.A tall, imposing figure strode through the gap, his presence hitting the room like a physical blow. Andrew’s sharp gaze pierced through the crowd, locking onto me like a silver-tipped arrow. Before I could even find my voice, his towering form breezed past me like a localized whirlwind, heading straight for the jewelry counter."Lucas!"His voice was a low, vibrato growl that chilled the marrow in my bones. Lucas, startled by the sudden appearance of the Alpha, fumbled the jeweler's hammer. He looked like he was about to dive for cover under the nearest display chair.Andrew took two lightning-fast steps, reached out, and snatched the boy by the back of his collar. He hoisted the tall, lanky teenager into the air as if he weighed nothing at all."Andrew! Stop! I can't breathe! Lanka, help me!"Lucas wa

    "So, I gave you my answer when you told me to choose, didn't you? I made my pick. Why do you care if I’m buying these to wear or to bury the heel in some low-rent stray’s face? What’s the matter, Serena? Didn’t get enough last time? Already forgot how it feels to bleed?"Serena’s eyes widened as the memory of the welts I’d left on her with the duster seemed to throb beneath her skin. She recoiled, her face souring with a mix of fear and hatred.Carllo didn't miss a beat. He grabbed a heavy-soled loafer from the shelf and swung it through the air with a lethal whistle. "Can’t lie, Lanka, these have some real weight to them. Bet they’d leave a hell of a mark on a home-wrecker’s jaw."Serena shrunk back further, but Shirley Wolfe—incensed that a 'commoner' like Carllo would speak to them that way—stepped into my space. "Who are you calling a home-wrecker!?""Whoever the collar fits, sweetheart! Why bother asking if you aren't feeling the itch?" Carllo rolled his eyes, leaning back agains

    I watched the grainy feed on the pack-link. Andrew must have shifted his strategy and caught a flight in the middle of the night. In the video, his heavy wool trench coat flapped in the salt-heavy sea breeze as he moved through the frantic construction crews. He looked frigid, his Alpha aura commanding even through a screen.I let out a jagged sigh. There was no telling when he’d return to Zion City. It was crystal clear: this divorce wasn't being finalized today.Right then, my phone buzzed with a text from Carllo.[Don’t come back to the apartment yet.]I waited, pacing the sidewalk for thirty minutes until a second message gave me the all-clear. I rushed home, bursting through the door before I’d even turned the key fully. "What happened? Were there Enforcers here?""People from the Hawthorne Group," Carllo said, nodding toward the coffee table.Laid out among the half-empty takeout containers were a sleek business card and several thick contracts. It was the licensing inquiry for
