Jill POV

Owen and I walk home to our apartment, the streets becoming darker as evening draws near.

“Should we order food tonight?” I ask him as we walk up the stairs.

“Sure,” he says enthusiastically.

“Chinese?”

“Yes, please!” he grins.

“Fine, but only if you go straight and take a bath,” I tell him.

He immediately drops his bag and races to the bathroom.

I smile to myself as I pull up the website to order food. I hear the bathwater begin to run, and I kick off my shoes, sliding into the chair

    Matthew POV “Jill?”I shove open the bakery door, and the smell of blood hits me like a wave.“Shit,” I mumble as I take in the room. The pictures are shattered on the ground, blood splatters mark the wall, and there are scorch marks on the floor.I search for Jill and finally see her slumped on the floor near the counter.“Jill!”I rush toward her, lifting her up. Her head is covered in blood, yet there are no other major injuries on her body that I can see.I shake her gently until her eyes slowly open.“Hey, it’s me. I’m here.”“Matthew,” she mutters.I help her sit up. She sways slightly, grasping her head before she looks at me with wide eyes.“Owen?” she asks.I shake my head. “Tell me what happened here?”She scans the room, frowning like she can’t remember the details. Then her eyes land on the pooling blood just behind the counter.“Amanda,” she sobs, moving toward her friend.Amanda lays limp, claws and bite marks evident in her torn skin and a frozen mask of horror on her

    Jill POV “Owen, hurry! We’re going to be late!”He comes racing into the living room, his hair messy as he grins at me.“Grab your bag,” I say as I hand him a pop tart, and we hurry to the bakery.I work on opening the shop and prepping the items as Owen settles at a table with a coloring book.The day passes quickly, routine taking over as I greet customers. I try not to watch the clock, eager to see Amanda.Anthony comes in around 10 a.m., and guilt sinks into my chest.“I’m so sorry,” I tell him. “I meant to text you! I don’t have an answer about Saturday yet.”He smiles sweetly at me.“That’s okay. I figured you were busy. Hi, buddy,” he says to Owen, who waves politely. He’s used to strangers greeting him while he’s here.Anthony pays for his meal and says, “See you later! Keep me updated.”I nod, still feeling bad about not texting him. I’ll have to turn him down. Even though it sounds fun, I can’t focus on a concert right now.Finally, Amanda steps through the door with a smil

I hear the bathwater begin to run, and I kick off my shoes, sliding into the chair in the living room with a sigh.Suddenly, there’s a knock at the door.I frown. I haven’t placed the order yet. Who could that be?Glancing at the bathroom, I move toward the door and peer through the peephole.It’s Matthew. What the fuck?I open the door, glaring at him.“There is no way even you dare to show up here,” I snap at him. “I thought I made myself clear.”“Jill, I need to speak with you,” Matthew says, interrupting me.I studied him for a moment. He looks exhausted. His hair and clo

    Matthew POV “That isn’t it,” I say. “There’s more to it.”Samuel’s lip curls into a sneer, but he doesn’t say anything more. He strains against the cuffs, tugging at his arms until the skin around his wrists is red.“Tell me more,” I demand. “Why are the rogues interested in me?” When he doesn’t speak, I step closer, threatening to strike him again.“Alright! We have history with your pack. You’ve always been a more formidable threat than others. Or at least, your parents were.”“My parents?” I pause, watching him. “What do you know of my parents?”Samuel smiles, his mouth crimson.I move in a flash, striking him with my nails. They scrape his cheek, leaving slashes down the side.“I can make the next hour very painful for you,” I say as he howls in pain. “Speak!”“I know who killed your parents,” he shouts.The words echo into the dark as my chest tightens.“I know who killed them,” I say carefully. But I’m unsure now.He laughs, his head leaning back against the wall.“No, you don’

    Matthew POV Hunting usually helps clear my mind. I find myself restless for something to do and focus on, so I leave the hotel, eager to find a trail. It doesn’t take long before I find something.The scent fills my nostrils and my wolf encourages me forward. I can smell him—the rogue. There’s only one from what I can tell of the trail. I consider calling for backup, but I can easily handle a singular rogue alone.I want to focus on the hunt. Not Jill or what happened this morning.I hated doing that to her again. She tried to hide the hurt from her expression, but I could see it clear as day. My lack of self-control caused that pain, and I try not to linger on that fact as I move quietly through the streets of the city.What’s done is done. I can’t control the past, but I can control the present and find this rogue.The late afternoon sun is hot on my back as I let my wolf’s senses guide me. I follow the scent, not paying attention to which streets I’m turning on until—I stopped th

    Jill POV I feel like screaming but don’t get the chance as another customer walks in.“Welcome to Jill’s bakery. What can I get for you?” I say automatically as the client walks forward, scanning the items for sale.I glance at Matthew’s back as he turns the corner, leaving for the final time.My heart sinks. I never should’ve let him stay, never should’ve kissed him, never should’ve—“I’ll take two raspberry scones, a cinnamon roll, and an almond latte, please.”I’m snapped from my thoughts as I refocus on the person in front of me.“Of course,” I tell her. “Right away.”I fall into a monotonous routine for the rest of the day as I greet customers, clean, and prep the kitchen for tomorrow. I don’t feel like prebaking the cookies tonight, so I leave the dough in the freezer, promising myself I’ll do it tomorrow.As the evening draws near, I pick up my phone and shoot Amanda a text.“You around tonight? Could use a chat.”She doesn’t respond at first, and I continue closing the shop b
