ANDREA’S POVThe microphone slipped from my hand and fell to the floor with a resounding shriek that would have had me covering my ears if I wasn’t frozen with shock.After being an absolute monster for the past few days. Kade had shown up at the press conference. I thought he’d come to cause more trouble. To taunt me and challenge my victory.But he’d actually honored his part of the challenge. What shocked me more than that was his apology. I thought it would be half-assed and grudging, but it had been sincere.If I didn’t know any better, I could have been convinced that he meant it.And then the most shocking event of them all, instead of letting me end the bond between us like we’d agreed, like he wanted me to do, Kade Nightshade fucking kissed me.In front of a bunch of reporters streaming live for the whole world to see.As I had that realization, my shock evaporated, replaced by anger. My eyes flew open and I shoved Kade back angrily.He must not have been expecting that, or t

ANDREA’S POV“Sure you have everything you need?” Zayne asked.I nodded, pulling my sweater tighter around me to fight the chill coming out of the open door. “I do, Z, thank you.”After the whirlwind of the day, and the week prior, Zayne declared that I needed rest and space. So he’d sent Gina and the rest of the crew to a hotel. Then he’d offered to take the twins to his place for the night.“Are you sure about this?” I asked, leaning over his shoulder to see Matteo and Luca play fighting in the backseat of his car.He scoffed. “I’m offended that after doing it a hundred times, you don’t think I can handle the twins for a night.”I shook my head “That’s not what I meant. You’re just always doing so much for me, and—”He shook his head. “I don’t want to hear it.” He leaned forward and kissed my cheek.“Goodnight, Andrea,” he whispered.I closed my eyes, and sighed. “Goodnight, Z.”I watched him walk away with that familiar guilty pinch in my chest. Not only had he spent the rest of th

KADE’S POVI drove back to the Alpha compound like a bat out of hell. The sooner I got back and solved whatever problem Mason mind-linked me about, the sooner I could return to Andrea.The thought of her, lying naked in bed, waiting for me to return, made my foot press the accelerator all the way to the floor.Mason was pacing in front of the pack house when I parked, and he raced forward to meet me.“Alpha!” he panted.“This better be fucking good,” I grumbled as I climbed out of the car.Mason was hyperventilating, and I raised a brow as I took him in. His hair was disheveled, he was sweating and his eyes were wide.I eyed his forearms visible under his rolled-up sleeves. “I didn’t do that,” I said, pointing to the scratches and cuts on his arm. A particular nasty gash was shedding so much blood that I knew if Fenrath was still around, he’d be salivating.Mason winced, unrolling his sleeve. “That was Richard,” he said.I frowned. Richard was one of the many wolves affected by the ma

ANDREA’S POVDespite the number of times I’d rejected Zayne and pushed him to move on from me, I was immensely shocked that he’d gone and done just that.I blinked, feeling my parents’ surprise behind me.Zayne chucked awkwardly at our reactions, and ran his hand through his hair.“I can explain.”I raised a hand out. “No, Z, you don’t have to explain. You deserve to move on and find someone better—”He shook his head, cutting me off. “No, allow me.”He stepped forward and reached out for me, taking my hands in his.“From the moment I met you, Drea, I felt this connection I couldn’t quite explain.” I swallowed, the emotion in his eyes rooting me to the spot. “I had no name for it. All I knew was that I wanted to be by your side, protecting you—forever.”“And now?” I whispered. I didn’t love Zayne romantically like he’d claimed to love me, and I knew that the best thing was for him to leave so he could move on from me, but the thought of him leaving, of losing him, made my already brok

ANDREA’S POV“Nico,” I sighed in relief at the sight of my Beta. He was standing at the main gate, which had a huge dent in it like it had been plowed through by something heavy. Nico was barking out instructions, overseeing the reinforcement of the boundary wall.He turned at the sound of my voice and the deep crease in his brows eased as a smile broke out on his face.“Alpha,” he said, spreading his arms wide. Without hesitation, I stepped into his embrace.After my parents, Nico was the next best thing I had to a parental figure. Amidst all the chaos and all the contradictory reactions of me stepping into the Alpha position, he was a godsend.Although he was closer to my parents’ age than mine, he never once stepped out of line. He was a perfect Beta, letting me take the lead while providing a support system I could trust with my life and offering priceless words of wisdom when I needed it.He was the reason I’d been confident enough to leave the pack and go to New York for so long
