LOGINSera's POV
Damon stared at me like I had spoken in a foreign language.
Damon's POVKade's pack territory was a fortress.Guards lined every entrance, their postures rigid and hostile. The moment our vehicles approached the main gates, a dozen wolves in human form stepped forward, weapons drawn, expressions cold."State your business," the lead guard demanded.
Sera's POVI felt Kade stir against me before I heard him wake.His breathing changed first, the deep rhythm of sleep giving way to something shallower, more alert. Then his arms tightened around me, pulling me closer against his chest.And then I felt it.
Damon's POVI didn't sleep.Couldn't sleep.The hours crawled by like years as I paced the hospital corridor, waiting for Giselle to wake up. The doctors had stabilized her, assured me she would recover, but she remained unconscious through the night and into the following day.
Sera's POVThe next morning, Kade insisted on feeding me again.I sat rigidly on the chair, acutely aware of his eyes tracking my every movement. Every bite I took. Every swallow. Every breath.

Damon’s Point of View‘Please say yes. Please say yes. Please—’My wolf was practically chanting it like a prayer while I waited for her answer.Sera stared at my outstretched hand, doubt written all over her face. She thought she wasn’t good enough. Thought she’d fail.She had no idea how wrong she
Sera's Point of ViewHe was taller than I'd expected.Way taller. Had to be at least six-three, maybe more. Broad shoulders that filled out his dark grey shirt in a way that made my mouth go dry. The suit jacket made him look powerful—not in the scary way from the cave, but in a way that commanded
