CHRISTINEI barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I found myself back in that moment.The bracelet around my wrist, the sudden pain i felt again, the violent pulse that had exploded through my chest and the name that had slipped from my mouth before I could stop it.The memory alone made me sick. I sat upright in bed and rubbed both hands over my face.Morning light came through the curtains, filling the room with a soft glow.My head hurt.My chest still felt strange but it was not painful anymore.It felt as though something had awakened and refused to go back to sleep.The bracelet sat inside the drawer where I had thrown it last night and I refused to look at it.After a few minutes, I forced myself out of bed.A shower didn't help me feel better,taking coffee didn't and nothing else actually helped.By the time I walked into the kitchen, I had already decided I was going to ignore everything, go to my office and bury myself in work.That plan lasted approximately three secon

CHRISTINE POVI woke up slowly.It was not the kind of waking that came with panic or sudden awareness. This one felt heavier, like my body had been pulled up from somewhere deep underwater and wasn’t fully sure it had returned yet.For a few seconds, I didn’t move and just listened and I heard nothing. My lashes fluttered open gradually and the first thing I noticed was the air.It smelled filtered and was almost sterile, but not hospital sterile. There was something else underneath it like wood and something masculine I couldn’t place immediately.My fingers shifted slightly against the fabric beneath me, it felt too soft.I frowned before I even fully sat up.This wasn’t my bed and my body tightened at the realization. Slowly, I pushed myself upright.My muscles felt stiff, like I had been asleep for too long or under too much strain. I blinked a few times, forcing my vision to adjust.The room came into view and my eyes scanned the entire space. Everything inside the space look

KAELI was already moving before Darius finished speaking.The hallway seemed longer than usual.Every instinct I possessed was suddenly alert.Stephanie showing up unexpectedly was bad enough and she showing up while Christine was unconscious and waking up in my private residence was significantly worse.My wolf growled low inside my head. I know this won't end well, not even remotely.I pushed open the door without bothering to knock.The scene that greeted me immediately told me everything.Christine stood near the center of the room while Stephanie stood several feet away and neither woman looked happy.In fact, the atmosphere was so tense it felt like lightning had already struck and everyone was simply waiting for the thunder.I felt relieved when I saw Christine standing, she looked better than last night.Christine's arms were folded tightly across her chest while Stephanie's expression was cold.The moment Stephanie saw me, something flashed through her eyes.It was relief,

CHRISTINEThe words settled heavily between us. I stared at Kael and he stared right back.Neither of us moved.The hand he had braced against the door remained there, completely blocking my exit.It was infuriating."You don't get to interrogate me."His expression didn't change. "You collapsed.""And I'm awake.""Barely."I folded my arms. "Still none of your business."I could see the annoyance building up already. At the moment, I didn't particularly care."What exactly do you want from me?" I asked."The truth."I laughed once, the laugh was short and humorless."The truth about what?""You tell me."That answer irritated me even more and my jaw tightened.The room suddenly felt too small, quiet and personal and that thought dragged my attention back to where I was.I was in one of his rooms in his private residence, not an office or a guest suite or even a medical facility but his space.I need to leave as soon as possible, I'm not meant to be here, it's only going to complicat

CHRISTINENeither of us spoke for several seconds until I finally found my voice." What about the healer?" I asked, my voice sounded distant even to my own ears."You said they found someone right?”Nathan nodded slowly. "I did.""A real and capable healer?""Yes.""Someone experienced?""Yes.""A legitimate one?""Yes."Relief almost surfaced until I remembered something, nothing involving the mate bond was ever simple.My fingers tightened around the mug in my hands."So what's the success rate?"Nathan froze just slightly and most people wouldn't have noticed but I did.My stomach immediately dropped.The silence stretched far too long. "Nathan."His jaw tightened."Nathan."I set the mug down carefully. "What is the success rate?"He looked away and that terrified me more than any answer could have because Nathan rarely looked away.He never looked away from difficult conversations, bad news or from me.Finally, he spoke. "One."I frowned."One what?"Nathan swallowed. "One out o
