LOGINCYRAI stood by the window, watching that disgusting omega drive away. And as my car disappeared down the driveway, my fingers curled slowly at my sides, nails biting into my palms, listening to the engine sound fade into the distance.I knew about the surprise and was aware of Greyson's plans and intentions behind it. He just hadn't realized I knew. But that did not make things any easier.He still understood exactly what that car represented. Now I had to watch that Omega sit in it. A sound erupted from my throat before I could stop it, muffled by a hand clamped over my mouth. My chest heaved, and my entire body trembled as the image burned into my memory.I'd been so close to ending her tonight. But then I thought of Greyson and whether that would have made him hate me more, even though it already felt that way by his actions. Because what else was I supposed to think when he even gave her my collection? Knowing I would see it?He knew what it would do to me, but that wasn't the wo
KATARINA Cyra’s grip on my arm tightened even as I told her Greyson hadn't said anything else. It was like something had snapped, and she kept screaming even as I responded.“What did he say?!” she demanded again, her voice frantic. “What did he say about me?”“He didn’t—he didn’t say anything,” I rushed out, my words tripping over themselves. “Just that you’ve been unwell, Cyra—” I screamed back, but suddenly, she stilled, her gaze sliding past me and over my shoulder like she just caught something. I didn’t even have time to turn and look before her hand dropped from my arm, and she stepped back as if something had just struck her. Her expression twisted, eyes widening, breath catching—and then she lost it completely.She started grabbing things—whatever was closest—and throwing them. A glass shattered against the wall, and a chair scraped loudly as she shoved it aside.Something else flew past me, barely missing my shoulder before crashing behind me, and I flinched, my heart slam
ALEXANDER The door clicked shut behind me, and for a second, I didn’t move. I just stood there… then let my back fall against it, my head tilting slightly as I stared up at nothing. My heart was racing from everything that had just happened, replaying in my head all at once—Greyson’s question, the look in his eyes, the way the truth had left my mouth before I could stop it.And now he knew without a doubt. My chest tightened. I hadn’t wanted him to see it. But I had been careless. And in the end, I had done the one thing I had always been afraid of doing. I had broken my brother's trust.My jaw clenched as I dragged a hand down my face, thinking of how I had promised him that I would fix myself. And the worst part was that I had no idea how to do that.How do you… stop feeling something like that? How do you look at her and not feel it? How do you forget the way she looked at you… the way she felt, especially when you have to continue crossing that line?I pushed the thought away im
GREYSON Alexander stepped inside, his eyes searching mine the moment the door closed behind him.“Are you okay?” he asked, his voice edged with concern, eyes still all over me. “I heard you couldn’t make the meeting. I came by earlier, but there was no one here.”“I’m fine,” I said, a little too quickly as I forced my shoulders to settle and my tone to even out. “I needed some time out.”His gaze didn’t leave me, still taking in the state I was in—the dirt still clinging to my skin, the tension in my posture, and the remnants of the rough run I'd just done. The concern didn't leave his eyes even as I assured him I was okay. And I felt guilty because I was the one who was supposed to check on him, the one who should have had it together. There was also tension mixed with all the worry, the same tension that had been sitting between us since yesterday, since the moment he had suggested I leave my wife. I asked if he was okay. “I’m okay,” he said, almost like he was answering somethin
GREYSON Clearing the tree line, I barely had time to remove my shirt or push my boots free before the shift ripped through me. It came quickly, devouring every bone as my wolf charged forward with ferocious determination.He took off faster than thought or reason, his paws slamming against the forest floor, kicking up dirt and leaves as we tore through the trees. Branches flew by me, some snapping under my weight and others scratching against our fur, but we didn't slow down.I couldn't because pain and fury consumed me, despite the fact that the elders were waiting for me. But I couldn't face them in this state, spiraling and falling apart.The memories came flooding back, hot and cold all at once, and I saw Cyra standing in my suite, sunlight streaming in behind her as she looked over the designs scattered across the table.She had been leaning forward, her fingers tracing the catalog, and her eyes lit up in that way that always made my heart race as she pointed out the cars she li
KATARINA I threw myself at Greyson, who barely had a second to react before I collided into him, my arms wrapping tightly around his neck as he caught me easily. A laugh broke out of me before tears followed, overwhelmed. “Thank you,” I said, my voice breaking as I held onto him. “Thank you so much…” No one had ever done anything like this for me before. Well, no one could afford to, but even he who could afford it didn't have to. I was speechless, and “thank you" didn't feel like it was enough. I pulled back just enough to look at him, my hands still gripping onto him as if I might float away otherwise. “Are you sure?” I asked, disbelief washing over me again. “That I can have all of these?” Greyson didn’t even hesitate. “Yes.” Something in his tone made my heart flutter. “You’re the Luna of Silverspear now. You must look the part.” The words settled deep in my chest, my smile bright and uncontrollable—and I hugged him again even tighter. “Thank you,” I whispered once more be
