Jack seemed more than pleased as he unclasped his belt.“You have two options; be a good girl and this will be over soon, or don’t and it’ll be hell for you. What would it be?” He grabbed me by the hair and shoved me against the bed.He should have gone when he had the chance, now it was too late. I turned, locked my legs around his hips, then headbutted him hard in the nose. He groaned in pain as blood poured down his nose. Giving him not a single chance to escape, I rained punches at him, aiming for his already broken nose.“Let him go!” the lanky guy ordered, pointing the gun at me and I did just that.“You bitch!” the muscled guy cursed at me, when he attacked again, I landed a kick to his knee cap, dislocating it and forcing him back to the floor.The lanky guy fired—only, the gun had no bullets. I’d emptied it before I’d placed it back in the drawer.Panicked, he pressed at the trigger a few more times, before tossing the gun, grabbing his bag and racing for the door. I was fas

Katalier rose to her feet at the sight of me.“Hi,” she said through the mind link. “Sorry I broke in—”“What are you doing here?” I cut her off to ask.“I—I came to talk to you,”“Talk,” I repeated, “What about?”“You might want to… sit down for this.”I couldn’t look away from her, “No. I think I’d rather stand,”“Gideon—”“No!” I snapped. “You don’t get to do that,”“Do what?” she questioned innocently.I gave her a disbelieving look, then snorted. “Get out.”She paused, taken back by my request. “What?”“Did I speak in another language? I said, get out!”“Aren’t you going to listen to what I came to talk to you about?”“Why should I?” I asked. “You walked away—and you didn’t care for once what it’ll do to me, so why should I have to listen to whatever you have to say?” “Gideon, please, you have to calm down,”For the first time in my life, the sight of her filled me with a strange kind of anger. “It was never about me was it?”“What are you even talking about?”“I’m talking abo

CASSIAN’S POVThe first step toward bringing the zones together was establishing unique businesses in each of the zones, forcing them dependent on each other. This was the idea behind The Fabric’s Company. It was the pack’s latest project to be commenced in Zone Three. In a few years, the company wouldn’t only be catering to the need for employment, but would also serve as a source of revenue to the pack.Gideon and I were headed there for the first sighting. He was unusually silent today, but I could guess why.“So,” I began, “I heard Katalier is back?” I’d been informed by the patrollers of her return the previous night.“Yes, she is.” He answered promptly, his gaze fixed on the road ahead of us. A part of me had always known the two would find their way back together again—all in the matter of time. “And?” I pressed on,“I think she’d made it quite clear she wanted nothing to do with me.” He concluded. “I think I’m done chasing.”“The fact that she’s back here proves that the op

ELOISE’S POVI stepped out onto the balcony, in need of some fresh air.Cassian had been gone for a whole day now, and I couldn’t help but worry. Lately, it seemed like that’s all I’d been doing—worrying.I wanted to help. I wanted to be out there with him, not in here. But with him gone, I was left to tend to the kids.I sat on the bare floor, then shut my eyes, reaching for my wolf just as Darth had taught me to, and I felt her.“I need your help,” I whispered.“It’s not yet time,” she responded.“Darth is closing in on us—when will it be the right time?” I asked, slightly irritated.“When you’ve reached your maximum strength, then you’ll stand a chance against him.”The rap on the door drew me out of the trance.It was Gideon, whom I’d called for. “Please, come in,” I invited, and he did. “Would you like anything to drink?”“I’m fine.” He declined, and I couldn’t help but notice how tense he was.“Are you alright?”“I’m not,” he said. “I just watched a woman drained by a bloodsucker

KATALIER’S POVI wasn’t surprised to find Gideon at our training spot. It was the first hours of dawn, and from the look of it, he’d spent the whole night here.I leaned against a tree as I studied him. He was shirtless and covered in sweat from hours of training. His jet-black hair, damp with sweat, stuck to his face. My gaze dropped to his toned abs, which had always been one thing I envied.I walked forward, and almost as if he could sense me, he froze. Then his gaze shifted to me. For the first few seconds, I was reminded of what it was like to have him stare at me without that all-too-familiar hate in his eyes. The moment passed too quickly. Now, there was a scowl on his face.“What are you doing here?” he asked, as though this hadn’t once been our spot. In fact, I could remember quite vividly how he’d gotten on his knees right here and pleasured me in ways I’d never thought possible. I wondered if he was remembering the same thing too.“Cassian. Had. Asked. Me. To. Find. You.” I
