He looked at me carefully, clearly worried that I was about to say something he did not want to hear or judge him for something.

“I guess so. What’s wrong?” he asked.

“Do you know a man named Varek Kane?”

The confused frown on his face and the way he looked up at the sky while trying to think made me realize he truly had no idea who I was talking about.

“Not that I remember. Who is he?”

A cold feeling crawled up my spine. The man had specifically claimed he was one of Orion’s business partners.

    The only sound inside the truck was the steady noise of the tires rolling along the road.A huge weight had finally been lifted from my chest, but it was quickly replaced by a suffocating feeling of dread.Elara pulled her hand away from mine, and my stomach immediately dropped.“You fucking asshole!” she snapped. “You can’t be serious, Orion. How could you?”“I’m sorry. I know it was stupid, and I’ve regretted it for years, and—”“Regretted it?” she cut in. “Oh, good. I’m glad you feel bad, you stupid prick.”Her words hurt, but I couldn't blame her.Leaving her, never speaking to her again, and still keeping our mating bond alive?It was a horrible thing to do.All these years, I could have broken it, but I never did.“How does any of this even work, Orion?” she demanded. “You never officially claimed me as your mate. We were waiting until I finished college. How can the bond still exist?”I swallowed hard.I already knew how she would react to the rest of the truth, but I forced my

    Orion shrugged.“I know. My idea was that he could serve as an interim alpha. He could keep order and stability in the pack until a new alpha from another family was chosen. After that, Vale could become the right hand of the new alpha, so to speak. The Blackthorne family would still keep some influence and respect, but over time, we could slowly step into the background. In my mind, my father had stained our family name with what he’d done, and giving up control felt like the right thing to do.“Dad completely rejected the idea. Elara, it was the first time in my life that I genuinely thought he might hit me. He cursed at me and started throwing things. Selene was the only reason we didn’t end up fighting each other. She managed to calm both of us down before it got physical. After that night, Dad started drinking even more than before. A lot more. He drank the strongest alcohol he could find because it was one of the few things powerful enough to actually get a shifter drunk. It tak

    From the corner of my eye, I saw another person running across the parking lot toward the door.Fear instantly shot through me.Was this one of Varek’s enforcers rushing in to help him?Then the door flew open, and Jaxon came rushing inside.Both Orion and Kael froze when they saw him.Varek, still wearing that fake, crocodile-like smile, looked Jaxon over with interest.“Well, who do we have here?” Varek said with a wink. “Jaxonon Monroe, right? Orion’s right-hand man?”Jaxon shot him a disgusted look and quickly crossed the room to Orion.“You said you’d be here,” he said before leaning close and whispering something in Orion’s ear.“Now, now,” Varek said, waving a hand toward the confused customers around the diner. “Speak up so everyone can hear.”Whatever Jaxon told him seemed to calm Orion.The burning fury on his face eased, leaving behind only controlled anger.Varek lazily waved a hand at both of them as though dismissing an annoying insect.“I’m bored with this.” He looked a

    “Stay here,” Orion said as he got out of the booth.His voice was low and rough as he struggled to keep his wolf’s growl from coming out. He sounded dangerous and honestly a little frightening.The stiff way he stood and the wide, powerful shape of his shoulders made him look huge and intimidating. It probably should not have affected me the way it did, but I would have been lying if I said a warm shiver did not run between my legs.I quickly pushed those thoughts away and looked toward the entrance.Varek had come inside, but he was still wearing his sunglasses. Even so, I could feel his small eyes focused on me. If Orion’s approach intimidated him at all, he did not show it.Everything about him made my skin crawl.Orion was only a few steps away from Varek when Kael came out of the restroom.He stopped immediately.The entire diner had fallen silent.The tension in the room had risen fast, and everyone seemed aware that something strange was happening. On top of that, Orion was wel

    I did not like the sadness I saw in his eyes.“Whenever there’s something I want, she does her best to make it happen. Most of the time, I think really hard before I ask for anything. I don’t want to make her stressed, you know?”I did understand.But he was much too young to be carrying thoughts like that.At fourteen, he was far more mature than I had ever been. Most kids kept asking for things and hoped the answer would always be yes. The fact that Kael constantly thought about his mother’s stress and happiness before asking for something said a lot about the kind of person he was.“She hates that weird magazine she works for,” Kael said, “but it pays well and keeps us going. She really wants to write her own stories, but she never seems to have enough time. I think she’d really love to write a book or something cool like that.”Back in high school, Elara had filled notebook after notebook with ideas, character descriptions, and short stories. She had always wanted to become a writ

    I grunted. “From what I know? People become loan sharks for a reason. The moment they smell weakness, they strike.” “Should we call Jaxon?” Selene asked. “Probably,” I replied as I pulled out my phone. Jaxon had handled a lot of unofficial operations during his time in the military. If there was anyone in town who could help us deal with a threat, it was him. “What do you need, Orion?” Jaxon answered. “Where are you? Selene and I need to talk to you.” “I just finished putting that security system in at Elara’s house a few minutes ago.” A warm feeling moved through me when I heard her name. I had almost forgotten that he was supposed to be there today. “Can you get to the alpha house? Quickly?” “I don’t like the sound of your voice. Is something wrong?” “You could say that,” I replied. “Get here as soon as possible.” “I’m on my way.” He arrived about ten minutes later, still wearing his work clothes. “What’s got you in such a damn hurry?” he asked as he came into
