Essence Thief

I gave my mate a kidney to save his life. Then I disappeared. Kidnapped, betrayed, and branded a thief, I became the villain in everyone’s story. They said I abandoned him. They said I ran off with his money. No one knew the truth—that I’d been fighting for my life while he was recovering with mine still inside him. Four years later, he’s healthy again… and engaged to his first love. In front of the entire pack, he raises a glass and says, “My only regret is not realizing she was my true mate. I’ve missed her for four whole years.” Hidden in the shadows of his celebration, my heart shatters all over again. To them, I’m still a criminal. To him, I’m a ghost. And to someone out there, I’m a loose end that needs to be silenced for good. But this time, I won’t be the girl they destroy. This time, I’ll decide my own fate.

“You don’t mean anything to me,” he spoke dangerously, the tips of his fingers curling in my hairs as he jerked my neck back. “A mere toy that I’ll use whenever I want,” a breathless whimper escaping my lips. “Leave me-“ “Or what?” His lips stretched into a wide grin. “Tear me with your tiny claws?” He backed me into the wall behind me and leaned in closer, his grey eyes pierced my soul. “Remember, Amara, you exist solely for my pleasure.” He pulled my hair harder and my flesh burned the moment he nuzzled his face into my shoulder. I bet he could hear my heart beat accelerating with passing breath. His other arm circling to wrap around my waist, my heart pounded when his strong sandalwood essence in-filtered my senses. “Rhys-” “Shh…and for your punishment, I want you to bend over the wall and lift you skirt.” ****
