Amara's POVIt had been two days since Azumi called her boyfriend Marcus, and I was rapidly running out of patience.Two days of waiting. Two days of pacing endless circles around this safe house while Zayne suffered God knows what kind of torture at the hands of the Hunters. Two days of nightmares every time I managed to sleep, visions of him being hurt, being broken, calling out for me while I did nothing.Each day I spent without knowing how Zayne was, without being able to help him or even confirm he was still alive, felt like its own special kind of nightmare. A waking hell I couldn't escape no matter how hard I tried.Azumi kept assuring me that Marcus was working as fast as he could, that hacking into the Hunters' encrypted databases wasn't something that could be done quickly or carelessly. One wrong move and they'd detect the intrusion, lock down their systems, and we'd lose any chance of finding Zayne's location.I understood that logically. Intellectually, I knew she was ri

꧁ LYRA'S POVMy head was pounding.I groaned, pressing my palm against my forehead as consciousness slowly returned. The sheets beneath me were impossibly soft, far nicer than anything I owned, and they smelled like cedar and winter and…Oh god.Memory crashed over me in waves. The club. The dare. The man with the gray eyes who'd kissed me like he was drowning and I was air.Asher.My eyes flew open, and I sat up too quickly, immediately regretting it as the room spun. Sunlight streamed through floor-to-ceiling windows, revealing a penthouse suite that probably cost more per night than I made in a month.And I was alone.I looked around the empty room, my heart doing something complicated in my chest that I refused to examine too closely. The other side of the bed was cold, the indentation in the pillow the only evidence that last night hadn't been some fever dream."Get it together, Lyra," I muttered to myself. "It was a one-night stand. That's literally the point. He's not supposed

Later that night, I was sitting alone in my room waiting for Zayne, who had gone out earlier to get some firewood for the fireplace. The house was quiet, almost eerily so, and I found myself anxiously checking my phone every few minutes.When it finally buzzed with a new message, my heart jumped into my throat.It was from the same unknown number.I grabbed the phone immediately and opened the text.Unknown: Hello, Emerald Wolf.My fingers flew across the keyboard as I furiously typed back.Me: Who the hell are you?! Tell me right now!The three dots appeared, showing they were typing. I waited, my heart pounding so hard I could hear it in my ears.Unknown: Like I said before, who I am is not important at the moment. But I have something critical to tell you. Something you need to know immediately.Unknown: I'm with your mother as we speak.My breath caught in my throat. I sat up straighter, my entire body going rigid with tension.Unknown: She's in very critical condition. The Hunter

Amara's POVI woke up the next morning wrapped in warmth and safety, my back pressed against a solid wall of muscle. It took me a moment to remember where I was—in Zayne's bed, where I'd fallen asleep in his arms after our emotional conversation last night.The memories flooded back in a rush. Gabriel forcing a kiss on me. Zayne walking in. My desperate chase down the hallway. My confession. Choosing Zayne. Officially becoming his girlfriend.A smile tugged at my lips despite how early it was.Then I felt it—something hard pressing against my lower back, unmistakable and impossible to ignore.My entire face flushed hot with embarrassment as I realized Zayne was very clearly aroused, his morning erection pressing insistently against me through the thin fabric of our clothes. His arm was draped possessively over my waist, holding me close even in sleep.I bit my lip, torn between the urge to wake him up and the equally strong urge to let him sleep while I extracted myself from this incr
