TESSA’S POVWraith and I were no longer a thing; I’d told him to go on with his life, just as I would with mine.So why did one kiss with Logan feel like a betrayal?Perhaps it was the mark-Ink on my neck, a reminder that I was still bonded to him—a reminder that he never truly let go. I was still his mate, and I’d let another man kiss me.I took a step away from Logan.“I’m sorry,” he apologized, even though none of this was his fault.“No, it’s fine,” I lied.“It’s not. I’m not blind, Tessa; I can see the regret written all over your face.” He said softly, shoving his hands into his pants’ pocket.“Perhaps, I just need some more time to… adjust; it’s still all so new to me.”“No amount of time would be enough to make you adjust to loving me. Not when you love another.I’d fooled myself into believing that if you spent some time with me and got to know me better, that would change. I was wrong. What you feel for him is far stronger, and that’s why kissing me fills you with guilt, eve

TESSA’S POVLogan would have realized by now that something was wrong when I didn’t come home.The door swung open as a nurse walked in, with a notebook in her hands.“Hey, you're awake. That’s a good sign. My name is Gloria, and I’m one of the nurses here. I’ve come to check on you.How are you feeling right now?”“I feel… fine.”“Okay. I want to know if you remembered anything—from the previous incident.”“Yes. I remember, I was in a car accident; I hit my head against the window, and then…” I remembered Kelvin and how he’d brought me here. “There was a man with me.”“Good. You remember most of it, and yes, there was a man with you. He said you were a friend of his.”“My baby? What about my baby?”“It’s all fine. No harm was done to the child in your womb.”I let out a breath of relief at that. “Thank God.”“I’d given the report to your husband. He arrived a few minutes after the man who’d brought you in left.”“Husband?” I questioned, and she cocked a brow at me, her smile droppin

Logan’s gaze locked on me. “What’s he doing here?”“I’m the mate, have you forgotten?” Wraith questioned, not bothering to hide his jealousy.Werewolves had sharper senses; they could pick up scents easily. Which meant he knew exactly what we’d done in this room.“I see you’ve made your decision,” Logan muttered, more to himself than to me. “I’m happy for you, Tessa,” he said, with a small smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes.“I’m sorry, Logan. But you were right.”He nodded slowly. “I guess I was.How are you feeling?”“Good as new.”“No injuries.” He noted.“I was lucky; Wraith came with a healing potion.”“What exactly happened?”“Kelvin happened. He must’ve been sent, but I wasn’t the one he was after. So… he brought me here. Kept apologizing the whole time.”“Prehaps I was the one he was after, it was my car after all, I should have been the one in it.But it’s clear he wasn’t very well informed on how to kill werewolves,—it requires a little more than a common car crash.”“Wh

**DIANA—THIRD POV**With Falcone, sex had felt more like a duty. Perhaps that’s why she never really enjoyed it. It had always been about the performance and pleasing him.Now she lay naked on the bed, with Joffrey—Falcone’s cousin—between her legs.She didn’t exactly have feelings for this man. She’d made a vow to herself to never give her heart to any man; no man deserved it.Joffrey was different, though; she cared about him, and that was as far as she could ever go with any man. She cared, but not enough to risk her own skin for his life—just enough to want him by her side at all times.Diana fisted his hair, letting out a moan as he skillfully used his tongue on her.He knew exactly how to please a woman, and she had been denied pleasure for a long time.She had met Joffrey during a business meeting and had been instantly drawn to him. It had been one of those days she felt the urge to go a little wild. She had winked at him, even with Falcone there, then excused herself to the r
