Alexandra POV “Why do you trust him?” I asked softly.“I don’t. He’s got a skill that I value right now.”I nodded. I was eager to find out what he found out, and another part of me was scared. What were the odds that one of my biological parents was still living in the shifter region this whole time? How could they be so cold?“Whatever he’s got going on is none of my business. What I care about is if he can help you. He wouldn’t dare double-cross me.”I nodded and swallowed hard. “You’ve got a reputation for being… ruthless.”He chuckled. “Do I scare you?”I ran my palm up his jacket and rested my head on his chest. “There was a time I would have, but I’ve never felt safer than when I’m with you.”He rubbed my back and kissed the top of my head. “You’re always safe with me. Now let’s ditch this place and go home. I’m not done pleasuring you.”“Enzo…”“Come on, mate.”“I could sneak away, but not before we dance.”“Dance? I don’t dance, Alex.”“Please! We can hear the music from he

Alexandra POVI rolled up my sleeve after giving a fresh batch of bloodwork. Enzo paid the doctor to be discreet. This visit was not to reach the Supreme Court. We were given a small private room for the tests.“The results will be out tomorrow, Alpha,” the doctor said.Enzo nodded. “Call me immediately.”The doctor bowed and walked out, leaving the two of us alone.I sat on the small hospital bed, thinking about every encounter I’d had with Ellis. Why would she save me only to fill me with toxins? There must be a reason. I’ve never gotten sick. There had to be another explanation for why my blood work came back high with those elements.Enzo rubbed my shoulders. “Let’s go home and run you a hot bath.”I nodded gingerly. “Fine.”“Everything’s going to be fine, Alex.”“You don’t know that,” I whispered. “I’m questioning the only family I’ve ever had.”He stood in front of me on the bed, making himself the only thing in my line of view.“I’m your family now,” he stated.“Sure, if it work

Enzo POV “Enzo, I didn’t attack her!”I shoved my palms into my palms. “She needed stitches and has a nose fracture.”“I-I didn’t start it. She saw the bracelet and— Wait, my bracelet. I don’t have it.” She patted her blanket and sheets, but came up empty.My fingers curled around the cool metal. I pulled it out of my pocket and held it up.“I have it.” She looked at me, deflated, tired and scared. The last thing I wanted was for her to be scared. I stepped forward.“I didn’t mean to hurt her, Enzo. Please… believe me.”I exhaled deeply and rubbed my forehead. “Sweetheart, I know that.”Her eyes were wide and confused. I sat on the edge of her bed and drew her stiff body to my chest. The metal keeping her in bed protested.“Who the fuck put you in cuffs?” I barked.“I woke up with them.”“Fuck.”She placed her hand on my chest and looked up at me. Her eyes did something to me. My wolf growled and clawed at me. She’s our mate, not a criminal.I ripped the cuff off the metal part of t

Alexandra POV“You’ve been keeping a lot of things from me, Alexandra. I thought we were closer than this.”“Just leave me alone.”“You’re not a teenager anymore. We can talk freely.”I was in my old room again, feeling like a teenager. I couldn’t believe she’d taken things this far. On the drive here, she ordered more security to guard me as if I were some high-risk criminal.I couldn’t come up with the right words to say to her. I wanted to scream bloody murder, but that wouldn’t get me anywhere.I needed a plan.“Come on, Alexandra. I’m not as young as I used to be. I can’t stand here all night.”She stood in front of my bed, staring me down. She said we could speak freely, and I had so much to speak to her about.“Do you want me to shift? You said I could be open!”She folded her arms. “You don’t have a wolf. You can’t shift.”“Yes, I do! I saw it.”“You saw wrong, Alexandra.”My mouth hung open in disbelief.“You’re lying! You don’t want me to shift. Is it true? Have you been poi

Enzo POV“How long’s he going to stay like this?” Cindi asked.I could hear them from the backyard. I got up and began to pace again. It seems that’s the only thing I’m good at these days. I hadn’t shed my wolf skin in over twenty-four hours.My wolf marched around the property because that’s all he could do to keep himself sane. So far, my wolf had broken through borders and run to my mate’s house.I just needed to know she was okay. I sat in the blindspots and spotted her walking past the window of her bedroom or the living room. She looked miserable. I felt the same.Ellis was stubborn. I’d confronted her after she took Alexandra away, but she stood her ground. She warned me to stay away from her goddaughter, or I’d face the consequences. I threatened to have her removed from the Supreme Council.She laughed at my bluff. The only option I had was to storm her property and steal back my mate like a neanderthal and I was willing to do it.“If one of you told me what the hell was goi
