Tires screeched against the asphalt. The sound ripped through the air.

The car slammed to a dead stop on the shoulder of the coastal highway.

Momentum threw my body forward. I grabbed the door handle and held on. My face stayed completely blank.

"Strangers?"

Kallum whipped around. His eyes burned bloodshot. His hands shook violently. His voice cracked: "Sierra, do you have to rip my heart out like this?!"

I turned my head. I met his bloodshot wolf eyes.

Pure agony filled his gaze. Every trace of

    "Ms. Vance, your standard single has been upgraded to our penthouse panorama suite. It includes round-the-clock thermal baths and a private butler."At the Valen Manor front desk, the clerk presented a gold-embossed keycard with both hands.Before I could grab it, a matte-black passport slid across the marble counter."Book the adjacent suite on the top floor. Charge it to my account." Kallum's voice sounded bored. He didn't even blink.I whipped around. I glared straight at him. "Kallum, did you set this up?""I own the estate." He slipped his passport away, a crooked smirk pulling at the corner of his lips. "Private land, bought three years ago. I happen to be staying here tonight, too. What a coincidence.""Save the coincidences. It's pathetic." A cold laugh broke from my throat."Back in the day, you cornered me seventy-three times in the Sanctuary corridors just to run into me." He didn't lose his temper. Instead, a rogue spark of pure amusement lit his eyes. "You were relentless

    "If you're not asleep, stop faking it."The cabin shuddered with light turbulence. Kallum's voice dipped low, brushing my ear like a feather.I wore a silk sleep mask. Total darkness behind my lids. Yet I felt his eyes on me.Heavy, burning, and completely shameless.Halfway through an eight-hour transatlantic flight, he hadn't even turned a page. He just sat there, staring at me.Leather creaked. He leaned in, his huge frame blotting out the light.The scent of cold cedar and a trace of medicinal ointment filled the air."Sierra, back in the Rockies..." His voice scraped, rough with years of swallowed regret. "I really thought..."I lifted my right hand. My palm pressed flat against his lips.His words died instantly.Under my skin, his mouth was dry and cool. His breath hitched, hot and fast against my knuckles.He didn't dare breathe. He treated me like glass about to shatter."Shut up, Kallum." Behind the silk mask, my voice was dead flat. "Raking up dead dirt just makes a bigger m

    "Ms. Vance, your seat has been moved to 1A. Here is your new boarding pass."The gate agent handed over a gold-trimmed ticket with both hands.I had booked regular economy, flying to Nice.A month ago, Kallum's stab wound and broken-bond backlash had finally stopped threatening his life. The day he left the hospital, he stood at the base of the Sanctuary steps. He watched me from a distance, never crossing that three-step line.He had said: "Safe travels, Sierra."His tone was guarded, just like a true stranger.I thought he was finally done. I thought he had let me go, and let himself go, too.I walked down the long jet bridge into the quiet first-class cabin.Seat 1A sat right by the window.Next to it, in the wide leather chair of 1B, a man sat with long legs crossed. He held the morning financial paper.Charcoal tailored suit. Black dress shirt. Two buttons left undone at his throat.His suit pants hid any trace of the knife wound in his leg. His frame was tall and broad. His jawli

    "You think a pathetic 'he loves me' erases everything I survived?"Silence suffocated the car.Scarlett froze on the floor mats. Tears washed clean tracks down her filthy face. She stared up at me in shock."Sierra... I confessed to everything! I stole the credit four years ago! He was just blind to the truth!" she shrieked, her voice hoarse as she clawed toward my cuffs. "He took care of me because he thought I was his savior! His heart was always yours! He never betrayed your soul bond!"I yanked my leg back. I wouldn't let her dirty fingers touch my boots."Scarlett, you give yourself too much credit."I looked down at her, stone-cold. "Take your fake ass out of the equation. Say I was the one sitting beside his hospital bed four years ago. Would that make four years of cold neglect and emotional abuse disappear?"Scarlett's lips trembled. Not a single word left her mouth."Ten years ago, I dragged him back to the pack. My father poured our best resources into him. Four years ago, I

    A beat-up Toyota sat parked in the back alley.I opened the passenger door.The back seat smelled of sour mold and cheap, suffocating perfume.Scarlett huddled against the far door.Her coat was bargain-bin trash, covered in fuzz balls. Her greasy hair clung flat to her scalp. Across her right cheek, the cut from the dossier had turned into an ugly, blackened scab. It was infected, oozing pus along the swollen edges.On the island, she wore couture gowns and had freshly manicured nails. Now, her nails were broken down to the quick, caked in black grime.She saw me. Her knees buckled instantly, and she slid right off the seat onto the rubber mats.Her knees hit the floor with a dull thud."I'm giving the empty vial back to you."Her hands shook. She pulled a clear, scratched-up sterile tube from her pocket. "Four years ago in the Rockies blizzard... I walked in. You were already in shock. The empty vial was rolling right by your fingers."I didn't reach for it.My clutch rested in my la

    "Push the antivenom all the way! The Alpha's vitals are crashing!"The field medic's raw scream shattered the room. Six hours of emergency surgery and eight bags of pureblood warrior blood barely dragged Kallum back from the brink of death.Daylight broke through the blinds.The only sound left in the ICU was the faint, steady beep of the heart monitor.I sat by the edge of the bed. The sharp tang of disinfectant mixed with the heavy copper stench of blood. It stung behind my eyes.The lifeless man on the mattress stirred. His eyelashes fluttered, and he forced his eyes open.A gray haze clouded his irises. He didn't glance at his leg. Bandages bound it tight where the silver blade had driven through. His head turned with agonizing slowness. His gaze locked straight onto me.He saw the dark red crusting my coat. His pupils contracted hard. His cracked lips parted, fighting for air."Sierra..." His voice was barely a breath, fragile as torn paper in the wind. "Go... change your coat. It
