I didn't sleep much, and whatever little rest I was able to get in between, it felt shallow, constantly interrupted by the same image replaying in my mind. Every time the stranger was standing un
ELENA'S POV, The pack house had gone quiet hours ago, but sleep refused to come. I sat by the window in the room Joyce had given me, watching the last traces of rain cling to the glass before sliding down in uneven lines. The storm had passed, but it had left something behind. Not in the sky, but
ELENA'S POV, “It wasn’t just a claim,” Andrew cut in, his voice firm enough to stop the speculation before it could spiral. He leaned forward slightly, his hands resting on the table as his gaze swept across the room again, anchoring their attention back to him. “I had my spies look into it after E

ELENA'S POV, His arms were wrapped around me, they were heavy but not suffocating. I blinked, feeling nauseous due to the faint glow of morning light passing through the heavy curtains on the balcony and his tight grip. I tried to move a little, to fix my clothes before pulling away from him.
ELENA'S POV, It had been days since I’d walked into Ryan’s room unannounced, to find him only in his briefs.
