Adrian's POVHer words echoed painfully in my mind: "I think we should just be normal contract spouses."Her attachment to Jasper ran so deep. So intense that she didn't even want me disturbing those precious memories between them.All she wanted was to be contract spouses?I had left the room, but I couldn't bring myself to leave the hospital. When I saw Jasper entering her room, I didn't stop him. I knew Lina wanted to see him, despite everything.But Raze, my wolf, was furious with my decision. He paced restlessly in my mind, urging me to go back and claim what was mine. To show this intruder who Lina belonged to now.*She's our mate,* Raze growled inside me. *You're letting another wolf stand too close to her.*I ignored Raze's protests, trying to maintain control.I checked my watch. Ten minutes had passed.Ten minutes. That was all the patience and civility I had left in me.What were they doing in there for so long?My restraint finally snapped. I couldn't stand it anymore and

Adrian's POVMy cock was still buried deep inside her,I looked down at the little thing in my arms.Her skin flushed and glistening with sweat, still trembling slightly, which was enough to make my cock hard again almost immediately."You're soaked, baby," I growled against her ear, "but we're not done yet."She whimpered, and I lifted her up, still connected inside her. The aftershocks of her orgasm sent heat through my chest. Her legs instinctively wrapped around my waist as I pressed her against the cold tile wall."Look at you," my voice was hoarse, desire burning my throat dry, "marked, filled, and still wanting more. Greedy little thing."Her dazed eyes gazed at me, and I couldn't help but start moving again, each thrust pushing her up the wall slightly. Her nails dug into my shoulders, leaving crescent marks that would disappear too quickly."Please..." she panted."Please what?" I deliberately slowed down, grinding shallowly against her, "Say it clearly.""Please... harder," s

Lina's POV"K&S Design Studio," I said, glancing at Adrian as he drove. "I've already received their email reply. I have a second interview next Monday. If the interview goes well, I can start working as soon as I graduate."Adrian raised an eyebrow slightly, his gray eyes flickering with interest."You're passionate about architectural design?""Yes," I answered simply, feeling a familiar warmth spread through me at the mention of my chosen field—it was the one thing that could still make me feel connected to my parents.He turned his head to look at me, and I could feel his gaze studying my face."I thought you might choose something more... secure," he said carefully.I understood his implication.He probably assumed I would join the Lockwood Corporation, thinking it would bring me closer to Jasper. Or perhaps he thought I'd accept Chloe's suggestion to work directly at Storm Enterprises' headquarters.But I couldn't possibly join the Lockwood Pack's company. And I wouldn't accept

Adrian's POVI returned from Storm Enterprises earlier than planned, my mind occupied with thoughts of Lina. The executives could handle the rest of today's meetings. My mate needed me more.Stepping into the bedroom, I found her asleep, tangled in the sheets that had slipped down enough to reveal the marks I'd left on her soft skin last night. The sight of those purple bruises against her pale skin made Raze howl with satisfaction inside me.*Mine,* he growled, and I couldn't disagree.She looked so fucking beautiful—vulnerable and peaceful in her sleep. I sat on the edge of the bed, careful not to wake her, just watching the gentle rise and fall of her chest.My fingers itched to touch her again. To feel that silky skin that had driven me wild just hours ago. Before I could stop myself, my hand slipped beneath the covers, trailing along her thigh."Just a touch," I told myself, even as Raze urged me to take more.Her body responded even in sleep—goosebumps rising wherever my fingers

Adrian's POVI took the elevator down to the first-floor lobby of the K&S headquarters, my mind still replaying Katrina's earlier words about Lina's interview.My sister had always been a shrewd judge of talent, but her enthusiasm about Lina was unexpected.Twenty minutes ago, as I waited in the seating area, checking emails and reviewing meeting notes. My phone rang - Katrina's name flashed on the screen."Yes?" I answered, keeping my tone neutral despite my curiosity."Now I understand why you recommended her," Katrina's voice was animated. "Thank you for bringing this gem to my attention."A surge of possessive heat coursed through me at her words. *Gem? She was mine*. My wolf, Raze, growled in agreement deep within my consciousness.I had only casually mentioned to Katrina that someone had reminded me of her younger self when they said, "Architecture has a soul, a warmth to it." That simple comment had been enough to pique my sister's interest in Lina, even prompting her to conduc
