“Ember,” Tristan called out behind me, but Dex placed his hand on my lower back as he kept me facing forward, guiding me toward a conference room on the first floor. I wasn’t going to turn around anyway. I didn’t want to see Tristan's face again before I had to. “Ember," Tristan called out again a

"I'll come back to you." His words felt like a promise, but I knew I couldn't take them as such. There was no way to guarantee his safety until the morning. Even if he did survive, there was no way to ensure he would return to me as the same man he was now if he killed one of his pack members. "Tell
