Chapter 141 Skye's POV I lay there for another hour‚ maybe two‚ waiting for Thorne's breathing to settle into that deep‚ even rhythm that told me he was fully asleep. Now was the best time to sneak out. I glanced at the clock on the nightstand. It was just past five thirty in the morning. The earliest light was starting to creep around the edges of my curtains‚ turning everything in the room from black to a dull grey. Thorne had only been asleep for about four hours‚ and given how exhausted he was when he showed up‚ he wouldn't be waking up anytime soon. I carefully lifted his arm off my waist‚ inch by inch‚ holding my breath the entire time. He stirred slightly and I froze. His hand twitched. His breathing stuttered for a second. Then it evened out again and he rolled onto his back and I was free. I slid out of bed as slowly as I could‚ placing my feet on the floor one at a time‚ putting my weight down gradually so the floorboards wouldn't creak. My hoodie was hanging on

Chapter 143SKYE'S POVKael was quiet for a moment. He ran his finger along the rim of his espresso cup and looked at me with an expression that was unreadable‚ which was rare for him because usually everything he felt was right there on the surface‚ packaged up in a smirk or a joke or some flirtatious comment designed to throw me off balance. But right now his face was still."No‚" he said. "I had nothing to do with what Drake did to you.""And I'm supposed to just believe that?""You're supposed to use your wolf‚ Skye. You know how to tell when someone's lying. Your senses are sharper now than they've ever been‚ especially after the wolfsbane. So listen to my heartbeat. Read my scent. Do whatever you need to do." He spread his hands on the table‚ palms up‚ open. "I did not arrange your kidnapping. I did not work with Drake. And I did not know it was going to happen until after it already did."I listened. My wolf was right there at the surface‚ raw and exposed and hypersensitive‚ an

Chapter 145Thorne's POVI stared at the text and felt the weight of everything pressing down at once. Drake was still out there somewhere. Skye was gone. Now the media had something‚ though I didn't yet know what‚ and if whatever story they had broke publicly‚ it could be disastrous on every front. I called him back."Alpha Thorne‚ thank you for getting back to me so quickly‚" he said. "We have a serious situation.""I know we have a situation. You just told me we have a situation. What exactly do the outlets have?"There was a pause. "It's not about the island‚ Alpha‚" he said. "It's something else entirely. Something worse.""I don't have time for dramatic buildup. Just tell me.""The article has resurfaced. Someone repackaged it with new details and pushed it to six international outlets overnight. Two have already published. Stock is down eleven percent in pre-market trading. The other four are sitting on it pending comment from us.""What new details?""They've added an allege

Chapter 147Skye's POVIt was female‚ high and sharp‚ dripping with something venomous that I recognized before I even turned around.Julia.She stepped out of the hallway and into the main room of the café‚ blocking the path between me and the back exit. She was wearing a fitted black dress and heels that clicked against the tile floor with every step‚ and her dark hair was pulled back tight from her face in a way that made her features look even sharper than usual. Her makeup was flawless. Her posture was rigid. Her eyes were locked on me with an intensity that made my wolf flatten her ears and bare her teeth."Funny running into you here‚" Julia said. "Although I suppose it's not really running into you if I followed you from your sad little house‚ is it?""Julia‚ I don't have time for this.""Oh‚ you don't have time?" She laughed‚ though there was nothing funny about the sound. It was brittle‚ too high‚ slightly unhinged. "That's rich coming from the girl who snuck out at dawn to

Chapter 149Thorne's POVI was already in the car when Reed called with the full report. Julia. A knife. My mate cornered in a locked café with a blade aimed at her throat.Fuck!Fuck!!That girl won’t be the death of me."Give me everything‚" I said.Reed didn't waste time. He told me everything. How Julia had followed Skye from the house. Entered through the back of the café. Locked the front door from the inside. Pulled a concealed pocket knife. Threatened to carve the mate mark off Skye's neck. Reed had broken her wrist‚ thrown her onto the sidewalk‚ secured Skye. “But no injuries sustained.” He said.No injuries sustained? As if that could calm me down."Where is she now?""Still inside the café. She's shaken but coherent. Do you want me to bring her to you?""No. Keep her there. I'm twelve minutes out."I hung up and leaned forward to the driver. "Faster."He didn't ask questions. The sedan surged forward‚ weaving through morning traffic‚ running a yellow light that was close
