KADE’S POV“Hmm,” Andrea murmured, stirring. “Why are you staring at your phone so early?” she asked sleepily.Smirking, I showed her what I was looking at.Her eyes widened when she saw the picture I had posted on social media. I’d taken it just a few minutes ago. It was a selfie of me and Andrea. She was still asleep, her hair sprawled across my bare chest. She looked so peaceful and beautiful that I couldn’t resist taking a picture—and then showing the world. Only her bare shoulders were visible—I would never let the world see the things reserved for only me.The caption read: Mine—no further clarification needed.Sure enough, like the creepy stalker he was, Caleb commented in under five minutes: Didn’t know oversharing was a love language now.The fucker was probably writhing with jealousy.Andrea chuckled and reached out, taking my phone from my hand. I watched over her shoulder as she typed a reply to his comment. ‘Oversharing? Oh, sweetheart. Trust me—we kept the good parts to

KADE’S POVI blinked, rubbed my eyes, and blinked again. I didn’t want to make the mistake I’d made in that bar in LA.But no matter how much I tried to reset my vision, nothing changed.The woman before me with the wild, fiery curls and bright green eyes wasn’t a lookalike. She was the real deal.Her lips pulled into a bright smile, showcasing familiar dimples that brought many of our classmates at the Alpha Academy to their knees.“Kay!” She squealed, throwing her arms around me.Still shocked, I let her pull me down to her height and hug me. It was Clara, all right—she even smelled the same.Hesitant, I wrapped my arms around her tiny waist, feeling a flood of memories swarm me. In the Alpha Academy, Clara had been something of an enigma. Though she was the Omega daughter of an Alpha, she never carried herself as if she were weak. She was confident and self-assured.Half of the male population—Caleb Langley included—was in love with Clara. She had her fun with some and ignored othe

ANDREA’S POVEaston jolted awake from his slumber when I slammed his room door open.“Wha—” he spluttered, looking around frantically, a little confused.“Good, you’re up,” I said, reknotting the straps of the dressing gown I’d hastily thrown on before I left the room.Easton sat up and glared at me. “Do you have any idea what time it is, child?”I waved my hand. “Spare me. I need you to tell me everything you know about hybrids.”Easton reached for his glasses and put them on. “What?”I huffed impatiently. “Hybrids, Easton. Tell me everything you know about them.”“I already—”I shook my head. “No, you told us a story. I need way more than that.”I moved closer, sitting on his bed. Easton looked shocked, and I couldn’t blame him. Ever since what happened with Luca, we hadn’t seen each other. So it was strange for me to barge into his room and sit on his bed.Either Kade had him confined to his room, or he felt too guilty to show his face. I was fine with either since I didn’t complet

ANDREA’S POVI spent the next three hours driving aimlessly around the city. When I finally returned home, Kade was pacing the foyer.He looked up when I came in and let out a heavy sigh of relief.“Andrea, thank fuck!” He pulled me into his arms. “I called you countless times. I thought you’d decided to go after them.”My hands dangled by my side, not hugging Kade in return. Over his shoulder, I saw a basket on the table in the foyer. From where I was standing, I could see muffins, chocolate bars, a bottle of wine, a box of jasmine tea, and a large tub of strawberry fudge ice cream.When Kade realized I wasn’t returning his show of affection, he pulled back slightly, his hands on my shoulders. I shifted my gaze from the basket and turned to him.His eyebrows were furrowed when he looked at me, his eyes darting all around my face. “Andrea, what’s wrong?”To be honest, I didn’t know what to feel. Ultimately, there was anger and jealousy. But blanketing it all, was numbness. And exhaust

ANDREA’S POVIt was the second long night in a row.Kade sent for the pack doctor to tend to Clara’s injuries and never left her sight—not that he could. Every time he tried to leave the room, she would scream and sob, saying she would only feel safe if he was with her.I’d stayed for a while, but at some point, the resentment building up in my throat threatened to choke me, and I had to leave. I felt irritated with myself. Clara was in need, and instead of worrying about her, I was too busy feeling jealousy and resentment.It wasn’t like she was Natasha, who had actually been engaged to Kade and had sexual relations with him. They were just friends, schoolmates—yet I’d never felt emotions this intense when it came to Natasha.I’d been in bed, staring at the clock in Kade’s room as the hands ticked slowly, mockingly, when my phone buzzed with a message, distracting me.It was a video from Mark.“Hi, Alpha,” he was whispering. “We just arrived at the Villa. The twins are sleeping, so I
