Amber

Pulling into the parking lot of Le Chantelle's made me feel instantly out of place. The restaurant’s front facade alone screamed luxury—polished marble steps leading to double glass doors with gold-trimmed handles. A valet dressed better than I did opened the car door with a stiff nod and didn’t even blink twice at our beat-up vehicle, though I caught the way his eyes subtly flicked over our clothes.

Ian stepped out first and held the door open for me like always. I adjusted the strap of my bag over my shoulder, already feeling out of place. My scrubs had been exchanged for a modest black blouse and jeans, but I still looked and felt like someone who didn’t belong here. Ian, on the other hand, somehow made simplicity look graceful. In his button-down and slacks, he blended in a little more than I did—but only just.

The moment we walked through the entrance, the air changed.

Soft lighting glowed from crystal chandeliers suspended from a ceiling that looked like it belonged in a r

    RayneI stood in that room for a few long, aching minutes, motionless. Basically just breathing. My hands trembled at my sides, heart pounding hard in my ears like a war drum. Amber’s scent still lingered faintly in the air, rich, heady honeysuckle that I was beginning to crave like a drug. My throat was raw from holding back the things I wanted to say to her. The ache in my chest? Gods, it felt like someone had taken a knife to it, dragged it slowly, then left it wide open for the air to burn.She had shattered me without mercy. And I couldn’t even blame her.With a shaky breath, I wiped the tears from my cheeks—tears I hadn’t meant to let fall. My pride was in pieces, but I couldn’t fall apart now. Not when I still had something—someone—left to fight for.Evalie.I forced myself to move, stepping out into the hallway like a man dragging his soul behind him. Each step felt like walking through wet cement, but I made it. I descended the stairs, my eyes still burning, jaw clenched tigh

    RayneShe whirled around, eyes blazing. “Don’t you dare play the victim.”Her words hit me like a slap. She leaned closer, face contorted with anguish.“You know it’s more than that. You ruined my life!”“I’m trying to fix it, dammit!” My voice cracked. “Why won’t you just give me a chance?!”“Because you don’t fucking deserve one!”Her scream echoed in the room. My strength nearly dissipated.I’m not sure I was breathing anymore.“Amber, I swear to you.” My voice cracked under the weight of everything I’d buried. “I swear on my mother—I didn’t shut the bond just to punish you. I did it out of guilt and fear. I was hurt and scared and I took it out on you. We were young and we hurt the person we both cared about. I thought I was doing right by him. I just wanted to make amends, but everything was so complicated—”“You still marked and then dumped me,” she snapped, eyes glistening with a rage I couldn’t even begin to touch. “That still happened. That still destroyed me.” Her words were

    RayneThat last sentence hit me like a blow.“What?!” I sucked in a breath, my whole body tense.“I’m not having this conversation right now,” Eden muttered, pulling away slightly like he was hiding something. “Our mate is right in front of you. Focus. Prove to her that we’re here to stay. That we won’t stop until we’ve earned her forgiveness.”I stepped forward, cautiously, wanting nothing more than to soothe her.Her eyes were swollen, cheeks stained with tears, and yet there was still fury in her gaze. That icy wall she’d built was high, and I was standing at the bottom, looking up, knowing I’d built it brick by brick.I sank to my knees in front of her. Amber flinched—but she didn’t move away. She didn’t stop me when I reached out and gently wiped the tears from her cheeks. She just stared at me with those trembling lashes and those eyes—those eyes—still full of bitterness, still swimming with pain that made my stomach churn.“I know I’ve hurt you in more ways than I can count,” I

    Rayne I didn’t know what hurt more: the pain in her voice… or the fact that everything she said was true.It was like her words sliced through my chest, piece by piece, until there was nothing left but a hollow, crumbling thing where my heart used to be. I just stood there, staring at her, at the tears on her face, the way her lip trembled when she tried to look away from me, like she couldn’t bear to even see me anymore.How had it come to this?After that beautiful but disastrous night we shared—after she’d opened herself to me, body and soul, after we made love—I’d shut the bond. Not because I didn’t care. Not because I wanted to hurt her. I did it because I couldn’t breathe through the guilt. Because every time that bond thrummed with her warmth and scent and light, it reminded me of my betrayal to Reed. It screamed at me that I’d cheated. That I was unfaithful. That I was weak.Fated mates were supposed to be rare. Ethereal. Sacred. But falling in love… that held its own kind of

    Rayne Amber’s jaw clenched. Her expression darkened. Her voice was steady, but each word stabbed like glass into my chest.“Why now? Why do you suddenly feel the need to uphold your so-called responsibilities now?” She asked, chin raised, eyes sharp and unflinching. “I’m not perfect and I won’t hold you to impossible standards but I could have sworn you’d choose death over me. What changed?”And I—I didn’t know.I opened my mouth… and closed it again.Silence stretched between us.Because she wasn’t wrong.Back then, twenty-year-old me would’ve never chosen her. I’d been so deep in my blind devotion to Reed, so warped by loyalty and lies, that the idea of putting Amber first hadn’t even been a blip in my mind.So what had changed?I stared down at the floor, her question echoing louder inside me than it had in the room. When had the shift started? Was it when I saw Evalie for the first time? When Amber showed up in court with that fire in her eyes? When she saved my life? Or when I

    Rayne Amber stirred.I was standing by the bed, watching her. I hadn’t moved in over an hour. My back ached, my legs were stiff, and my heart hadn’t calmed since I carried her in here. But the moment her body shifted slightly, a soft murmur slipping past her lips, I snapped into motion. I quickly took a seat at the edge of the bed, careful not to jostle her, but close enough to be there when her eyes opened.And then they did.Those eyes. Those gorgeous blue eyes that haunted my dreams. She blinked, slow and groggy, her brow furrowing in confusion. Her gaze landed on me—just for a second—and then darted away to take in her surroundings.Her bedroom.Realization crashed over her face like a tidal wave, and the confusion instantly melted into fury.“What the hell are you doing here?” she snapped, sitting up abruptly despite the weakness still clouding her features. “Who the hell gave you permission to come into my home?”Her voice was sharper than a blade, slicing right through the car
