Rael’s Pov I was so exhausted I could barely stand. My legs were shaking, my feet were bleeding inside my boots, and every part of me hurt. Eryx looked back at me and frowned. “You are injured.” “I’m fine.” “No, you’re not. Sit down.” “I said I’m fine. Don't overthink it or get worried about me. Let's focus on getting out of here.”He walked back to me and pointed at a fallen log nearby. “I need you to sit down now.” I wanted to refuse, but my legs gave out and I had to sit or fall down. The log was cold and damp beneath me, but I did not care. I was just grateful to be off my feet. Eryx knelt in front of me and reached for my arm. I jerked away. “Don’t touch me. I can treat my wounds myself.”“You know, you are quite a stubborn lady. You can't treat it yourself and still you don't want me to touch you. Can't you see you are bleeding? I need to check your wounds.” “I’ll check them myself.” “With what supplies? You have nothing. Or maybe I should leave you here all by

Rael's PovI woke up on the fourth day in Haven with a sick feeling in my stomach. The documents, the evidence I had hidden in the hollow tree near the cabin. How could I have forgotten about them?I quickly got dressed and went to find Eryx. He was in the main hall eating breakfast with some of the other residents. I walked straight up to him, not caring that everyone was staring.“I need to go back to the cabin,” I said.He looked up and frowned. “No.”“I left something there, something important. I need to get it.”“What could be so important that you’d risk going back?” he asked.“Evidence. Documents that prove Corvin and Nyra arranged my kidnapping. I hid them before the assassins attacked, and I need to retrieve them.”Eryx put down his food, stood up, and said, “Then tell me where they are, and I’ll send someone to help you.”“No. I need to go myself. I’m the only one who knows exactly where they’re hidden.”“Rael, it’s too dangerous. There might still be people watching that a

Rael’s PovI pushed past Corvin, but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back. "Wait. Do not walk away from me like this.""Let go." I said."Not until you listen. Not until you understand that I am trying to help you." He responded."Help me? You call asking me to be your mistress helping me?" I shouted."I call it offering you a place in my life when I could just walk away and leave you with nothing." He said.I yanked my arm, but his grip tightened. "You are hurting me.""I am not hurting you. I am holding you so you will stay still and listen for once in your life." He said."I have listened enough. I heard your offer and I rejected it. There is nothing else to discuss." I stated.He pulled me closer until we were almost touching. "You are my mate, Rael. My true mate, that bond does not just disappear because you are angry. Deep down, you still feel it. You still want me.""I feel nothing for you except disgust." I said flatly."Liar. I can see it in your eyes. You still love me, y

Eryx's Pov I let him go and he staggered a few steps away, then stopped and turned back. His broken wrist hung at an odd angle, but the pain did not register on his face, only rage."Who are you?" he demanded again. "What gives you the right to interfere between me and my mate?"I said nothing. I just stood there between him and Rael, keeping my expression blank."I asked you a question. Answer me."Still, I remained silent. There was nothing I needed to say to him. Nothing he deserved to hear from me.His face flushed darker. "You think you can just show up and attack an Alpha without consequences? You think I will let this go?"I didn’t respond to him, I let the silence linger."Fine. Do not talk but know this, I will find out who you are. I will track down where you came from and when I do, I will make you pay for what you did here today."I crossed my arms and waited. He could threaten all he wanted. It changed nothing.Corvin looked past me at Rael. "And you. Coming back here

Rael’s PovI watched Rael as we left the cabin and walked back toward Haven. Her whole body was tight with rage. Her jaw was clenched so hard I thought her teeth might crack. Her hands kept curling into fists and releasing over and over like she was imagining wrapping them around someone's throat.She was furious. More furious than I had ever seen her and that fury was directed at everyone who had wronged her. Corvin, Nyra, the elder who took her home, the entire pack that turned their backs on her.I felt my own anger rising as I watched her. Anger at the injustice of what had been done to her. Anger at a system that allowed people like Corvin to destroy lives without consequences. Anger at myself for not doing more to help her sooner.But my anger was nothing compared to hers. Hers burned hot, bright, and consuming. It was the kind of rage that could either destroy her or transform her into something powerful. My job was to make sure it was the latter.She needed to learn how to use
