Trent's POVMy wolf was losing control. I could feel him clawing at my insides, demanding to be released, demanding blood. Kyle's blood. Every instinct I had screamed at me to shift right there in the middle of the summit hall and rip Kyle Donovan's throat out.He had just claimed my mate. In front of everyone. He announced an engagement that should never have existed because Celine was mine. She would always be mine.But I could not move. I stood frozen as the room erupted in applause and congratulations. I watched Kyle wrap his arm around Celine's waist like he owned her. I watched her force a smile even though I could see the panic in her eyes. I watched the trap close around her and I could do nothing to stop it.The bond between us, fractured and damaged as it was, screamed in agony. Pain shot through my chest so intense I thought I might collapse. My vision blurred red and my hands shook with the effort of keeping my wolf contained."Alpha," Devon's voice came from beside me. Hi

  Kyle's POV Something was wrong. I could feel it the moment Celine slipped away from the reception. She had excused herself quietly, claiming she needed air, but there was something in her eyes that set off alarm bells in my mind. I gave her five minutes. Then I followed. Her scent was easy to track even through the crowded estate grounds. It led me away from the main buildings, past the gardens, toward the old section of the property that no one used anymore. And as I got closer, I caught another scent mixed with hers. Male. Wolf. Familiar. Trent Fuller. My jaw clenched so hard I thought my teeth might crack. That bastard had contacted her. He had lured her out here to poison her mind against me. I should have dealt with him sooner. I should have eliminated the threat before it became a problem. I approached th

  Celine's POV The steady beep of the heart monitor was the only sound in the sterile medical room. I sat beside Jerome's bed and held his hand while tears streamed silently down my face. My brother, my protector, my only family, lay unconscious with tubes and wires connected to his body. The doctors said he was lucky. The amount of wolfsbane in the wine should have killed him within minutes.  But Jerome's alpha blood was strong and it slowed the poison's spread long enough for the medics to treat him. He would survive but it would take days for his body to fully purge the toxin. Someone had tried to kill him. Someone had sent that wine to his room knowing it was poisoned. And I knew exactly who. Kyle. The realization hit me like a physical blow. All the evidence Trent showed me. All the warnings from Jerome. Everything pointed

  Trent's POV The news of Jerome's poisoning hit me like a punch to the gut. I was in my office reviewing the pack finances when Devon burst in with his phone in hand and his face pale. "Jerome Blackwood was poisoned," he said. "Wolfsbane. He nearly died." My blood ran cold. "When?" "Two nights ago," Devon said. "He is stable now but it was close. The wine was sent to his room as a gift." "From Kyle," I said. It was not a question. "The bottle had the ShadowClaw seal," Devon confirmed. I stood up so fast my chair toppled backward. "Where is Celine?" "She moved into Kyle's estate," Devon said grimly. "Supposedly for her safety." "He is isolating her," I said. Panic and rage warred inside me. "He tried to kill her brother and now he has her trapped in his home. I have to ge

  Arianna's POV I threw the remote at the television screen. It bounced off harmlessly but the gesture made me feel slightly better. The news coverage of Kyle and Celine's engagement played on repeat and each image was like a knife twisting in my chest. But it was not the engagement that destroyed me. It was Trent's reaction to it. I had watched him spiral over the last week. He barely ate. He barely slept. He spent every waking moment investigating Kyle and planning ways to save Celine. He was obsessed with her in a way he had never been obsessed with me. And it was killing me. I had spent years standing by Trent's side. Years of being there when he needed support. Years of hoping he would finally see me as more than just a friend or a convenient companion. But no matter what I did, no matter how loyal I was, he only ever saw Celine.
