Kaireen's Pov"I'll handle it," he said again, and this time he was looking at Ronan and not at me.The two of them looked at each other. Just for a second. The kind of look men exchanged when the actual conversation was happening somewhere underneath the words."It's fine," I said, stepping between whatever that moment was before it could become anything larger. I looked at Ronan and made my voice even. "Go. I'm alright."He did not answer right away. His eyes stayed on my face for a beat that stretched just slightly past comfortable, reading something I was not intending to show, and I looked away first because looking back felt dangerous."Go," I said again, softer. "Please."He left.I didn't watch him walk away. I turned and headed back down the corridor toward the small supply room at the far end of the hallway, keeping my spine straight and my chin level and my eyes fixed ahead because the stares from the remaining staff were like pins across the back of my neck and the last th

Ronan's POV I opened the door and saw his hands on her. His body was pressed against hers with her wrists pinned above her head against the wall and her face was turned away from him with tears on her cheeks that she clearly had not realized were there yet, and something inside me did not think at all. It simply moved.My fist connected with his jaw before the door had even fully swung open.The crack of it was satisfying in a way I was not going to examine too closely.Evander hit the shelf behind him and a row of bandage rolls toppled onto the floor around him and Kaireen's voice came out sharp and startled, "Ronan —""Get away from her," I said, and my voice came out much quieter than the rage in my chest deserved. I stepped fully into the room and the doorframe felt small at my back, the supply room even smaller around me, and I looked at him where he had caught himself against the shelf with one hand pressed to his cheekbone. "I told you to get out of this clinic days ago. I w

Kaireen's POVI had not slept.I had lain on my side in the dark staring at the wall with my wolf pressed flat and silent against the inside of my chest, replaying the sound of his footsteps fading down that corridor over and over until the sky outside my window went from black to grey to the pale, washed-out blue of early morning, and only then did I finally get up because lying there any longer felt like a form of self-destruction I was not willing to keep indulging.I showered, dressed in black trousers and a soft cream blouse, pulled my hair back, and told myself I was fine.My reflection in the bathroom mirror did not look convinced.By the time I made it to the small sitting room connected to Rhia's guest quarters, Kade was already packed. His single duffel bag sat near the door, dark green canvas worn soft at the handles from years of use, and he was standing beside it in jeans and a grey hoodie scrolling through something on his phone with the easy, unbothered energy of someon

Kaireen’s PovI hated my life right now, absolutely despised every single second of sitting in the backseat of Ronan's sleek black Range Rover while Selene sat in the front passenger seat like she owned the entire world and everything in it. My wolf was gnawing at my chest, clawing and snarling and demanding I do something, say something, fight back against this humiliation, but what could I do when Ronan had been the one to suggest I accompany them on this shopping trip into the city?He said it would look good for pack unity if I came along, said it would show the pack that there was no bad blood between me and his new wife, said it with those golden eyes that I knew so well and I had agreed because I was an idiot who could not say no to him even when it was killing me inside.Selene was holding up her phone showing Ronan pictures of dresses from some expensive boutique website, her perfectly manicured nails tapping against the screen as she scrolled through option after option, an

Kaireen's Pov What the hell did she just say? My brain was trying to process the words that had come out of Selene's mouth but they were so disgusting, so absolutely vile that I could not make sense of them. She wanted me to stay here and watch while she had sex with Ronan? That was what this was about? That was why she dragged me to his private chambers and stood there smiling like she had just suggested we all have tea together?"You want me to watch the both of you have sex?" I asked, and my voice came out strangled. "Is that what the hell you're calling me here for? Are you actually insane?"Selene shrugged like this was a perfectly normal conversation to be having, like she had not just suggested the most inappropriate thing I had ever heard in my entire life."You don't have to be so agitated about it," she said calmly. "After all, that's what I heard. I did my research on your brother and apparently he has certain tastes, certain preferences that need to be accommodated. I'm j
