Her voice warm and terrifying, like a fire you wanted to touch even knowing it would burn. “You have suffered much.”I pulled against my chains, crawling my way towards her. “Then why won't you free me?”“Because your freedom is not mine to give.

And she even came with another man.The rogue. Nicholas. The way he had stood by the door, watching me like a wolf protecting his territory. The way he had growled at me—growled—like I was the enemy.Like I was the one who didn't belong in my own pack, made me feel all sorts of emotions that I didn't like."Alpha."Grayson's voice pulled me from my thoughts.
