Before i could react, he was standing directly in front of me, blocking me from the rest of the room, and from whatever that was coming. That gesture made my heart skipped. “Stay behind me.” He commanded. “What?” “Stay behind me.” The Alpha immediately frowned. “Hayes.” “No.” The answer came instantly. The room fell silent again. The Alpha and his son stared at each other. For several seconds, nobody spoke. Then— A loud explosion shook the mansion. The entire building trembled. Glasses shattered somewhere in the distance. Several women screamed. I jumped instinctively without thinking, grabbing Hayes sleeves. The bond surged the second i touched him. For a brief second, neither of us moved.

“But the medicine first…” “Don’t scatter your filthy smell around our house.” A chilly atmosphere hung in the air. Just as I struggled to lift my head to stop the two of them, Harper stepped forward first. “Okay! If Gabriel is sick, of course I should leave!” As he stepped out of the room, he added playfully, “Gabriel, is he going through puberty? He’s being super prickly.” “Get out.” At the continued order to leave, Harper smiled with effort and said quietly to me,

Before Jade or I could utter a word, Bruce’s massive frame stepped smoothly out of the driver's side of the SUV, blocking Ryan's path like an impenetrable brick wall. "Step back, sir," Bruce commanded, his voice a low, lethal rumble. Ryan flinched, stepping backward, but his sharp, bitter eyes remained locked on mine. "This isn't over, Ari," he muttered, pulling out his phone. "I'm going to figure out exactly whose feet you're lying at."

We made sure the lake always stayed on our territory. We find ourselves in the meadow and on our paws. Brutus rears his head back and lets out a soul-shattering howl. The trees shake, and birds and other animals scatter from the area. Brutus drops to the ground and howls again, this time a howl full of pain. I take his distraction as an opportunity to shift, and then I put a block up.

I felt traumatized just by looking at it. Brian turned swiftly and came to me, saying, “I told you to stay back.” His expression was serious and his tone commanding. “What is it doing here?” I pointed to it, my finger slightly trembling. “I don't know but you can't go near it.” He patted me on the back slowly, but his palm was not gentle. “Don't touch it!” He suddenly yelled at Judith who flinched in realization. He ran to her and grabbed her, then pulled her to where I stood.

Or about myself? Bryan stepped closer, his presence overwhelming, commanding. “Juliette, stay behind me,” he said again, his voice low, dangerous. His eyes didn’t leave the shadow. Dorian mirrored him, his stance precise, every muscle ready to move at a moment’s notice. The figure tilted his head slowly, then stepped forward. The hood fell back, and my stomach dropped. I froze. I knew that face.

Jake was already moving. Jake Intervenes The door burst open behind the luxury suite as Jake stepped into the corridor. Brody, already halfway there, joined him. “Let me guess,” Brody said. “Round two?” Jake didn’t slow. “Yeah.” Alex Stays This time, Alex didn’t leave the ice. He looked down at the spreading cracks. Then at his teammates. Then at the crowd. “No evacuation yet,” he said firmly. Coach hesitated. “Thorne—” Alex shook his head.

The tension between them became so thick I could almost feel it. For a second, I genuinely thought they were about to start fighting. Then Giselle stepped between them. "Enough." She looked directly at the basketball players. "Don't you have somewhere else to be?" She snapped at them. They exchanged amused looks. One of them shrugged. "Sure." He glanced at me one last time. "Try not to spill your next meal." The four of them burst into laughter as they finally walked away. King muttered something under his breath that I thankfully couldn't make out.

I knew I would have Bram and his father around me at all times but I still felt increasingly vulnerable. Bram jogged across the corridor and linked up with us as we descended the stone steps towards the grand entrance. His face was flushed with anticipation and his hair messily slicked back. Wearing a stiff white shirt and dark trousers he didn’t have the coolness of his father or elder brother. He would be useless in a standoff Fyre mused, he’s so twitchy. He grabbed my hand possessively, “hey there” “Hi, not seen you for a while”
