CASSIEI catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and smile sadly. She’s right, but unfortunately, things aren’t as simple as it is with her and Jace. We have alliances and obligations.Emilia switches the topic. Her voice rises and falls with the same free energy she has always carried as she tells me about the new boutique hotel her mother is opening in the mountains, the ridiculous demands of the interior designer, and the brochure she agreed to write in three days. I listen.Maybe I even smile once or twice when she describes the designer’s meltdown over the wrong shade of cream. For a few minutes, the pressure in my chest eases. Yes, I’ll tell Austin.When the call ends, I stay there until my fingers go numb. Finally, I return to my office and finish the day. Instead of going home, I head to a bar first for some alcohol, AKA liquid courage. When I ente

CASSIEThe following days after that conversation see Austin removing himself one piece at a time. The guestroom door stays closed. Every night, his car turns in the driveway by eleven or twelve, while I sit in the living room, counting the minutes between the engine cutting off and his key in the lock.First, the ties vanish from our closet, then the dress shirts and the cufflinks I once watched him polish on a Sunday. I count the empty hangers. Eleven.The mug I bought him sits upside down on the drying rack, and a plain white cup has taken its place. He no longer drinks from anything I might have touched.In front of the people from the office, he calls me babe. In private, he doesn’t speak to me at all unless necessary. That audio twisted something in him. It destroyed our marriage.Zoren might have aw

CASSIETen days. That’s how long it has been since the needle was in my skin. But ten days isn’t enough for my recovery.My body tells me so in the shower, when the tiles slide sideways, and I have to brace both palms against the wall until the room stops roaring. It tells me again at the dressing table, where I sit with my head between my knees and count to thirty.Austin hasn’t noticed the small changes. If he has, he’s done so well at hiding it. But can I blame him? I broke his heart.Elaris sighs, bringing my attention back to the present. I stare down at myself with a sad smile.The bruise in the crook of my elbow has faded to a dirty yellow. My hair has come out in the brush again, auburn strands in a soft, shameful little nest. I wind them around my finger and drop them at the foot of the d

ZORENThe moon rose hours ago. Yet, my wolf, Fenrir, has been pacing the inside of my ribs all day. Something is wrong.It must be the room. A private dining room on the tenth floor of Aldrich Hotel. Maybe it’s Liora’s perfume sitting in my throat like something I swallowed wrong.Or the fact that my mate is participating in a succession ceremony with another man who’s not me. She’ll be Luna to another Alpha while I sit here with another woman who calls herself my wife. I shake off that thought.Dad is attending on behalf of Arlowe Pack. What’s done is done.“Is it, you bastard?” Fenrir growls.My wolf might live inside my body, but he’s disgusted by my entire existence. Has been since I got engaged to Liora. I don’t bother explainin

ZORENTime freezes after my words. I mean it. We both know I do. Austin’s knuckles go white against the frame, and his chest rises and falls. Emotions flicker across his face. Duty and grief and shame, the wolf and the man.Doesn’t he claim to love her? I need him to fight me, so I can beat him to a pulp. To finally vent after years of waiting and watching in the shadows.Slowly, Austin’s hand slides off the wood, and he steps aside without a glance at me. Instead, he stares at Cassie. His bottom lip trembles, and he tucks her hair beneath her ear.Fenrir growls. He doesn’t want anyone touching our mate anymore. For years, he’s been bound by the Alpha’s order. But I fear it’s no longer enough to keep him in check.Dad steps forward, his face pale with fury. He takes one look at m
