A MILLION PIECES

Selene’s POV“She’s not what you think she is,” Callum said loudly, his words cutting through the low hum of conversation like a knife. His voice was sharp, laced with anger, and impossible to ignore. The room fell silent, the whispers dying down as every eye turned toward us. My chest tightened under the weight of their stares. Each curious gaze felt like a probing question, and I could practically feel their judgment. Callum stepped closer, his towering frame casting a shadow over me, his expression dark and unreadable. “She’s not what he says she is,” he repeated, his tone colder, harsher. His next words hit me like a slap to the face. “I should know. I was mated to her once.” The air seemed to crackle with tension as his revelation rippled through the crowd. Gasps erupted, followed by a tidal wave of murmurs and shocked exclamations. People craned their necks, desperate to catch a glimpse of the woman he claimed had once been his mate. Me.

When we pulled up to the house, the tension between us was unbearable. Adrian reached for the door, but before he could even step inside, I grabbed his wrist, holding him back. He turned, his gaze searing into mine as though he was waiting for me to make the next move. And I did. I surged forward, capturing his lips in a kiss so heated it felt like I’d burned myself.
