LOGINHunter moved first.He strode toward the elevator and jammed the down arrow. Adrian followed.They both looked back at us as the doors closed.Hunter looked like he was about to say something, then closed his mouth. I didn’t know what he would possibly say to us, but I understood why they had to lea
Hunter’s POVI was frozen, the sound of the glass breaking still ringing in my ears.I felt like I’d left my body. I could see the scene from Maya’s perspective. What we must look like, all grouped together here.What she’d just heard.Whatever I felt for Kara—and I was still trying to figure out wh
I rushed back to the hospital, my business done.I knew that the leader was secure where she was, but her smirk as I left had been disconcerting.I had to see Kara—make sure she was okay.And I had to find out if it was true that she was my true mate.I couldn’t believe it, but after all that I’d ju

I looked away from Hunter, but still felt his gaze boring into my back.Adrian and Sean started into another conversation. I swayed, slightly.The day’s exhaustion was catching up with me. When had I last had a drink of water?My nausea and headaches were oddly still being kept at bay, but I was exh
I froze. My heart beat more quickly.
