Stolen by the Alpha
He’s still staring through me, as if I’m a ghost of every hope he ever buried.
“You don’t believe me?” I ask, but there’s a tremor in my chest, a raw edge to my stubbornness. It’s one thing to outlast someone in a fight; it’s another to convince them their whole world has been a lie. “Kalen, Cassie showed me the book. The binding is old magic, older than the council or the packs. Blood, vows, and the moon. That’s all it takes.”
He shakes his head, lips pressed so tight they’re nearly white. “Don’t do this to me, Lyla. Don’t give me a reason to believe in something I can’t have.” The inflection twists at the end, and I realize he’s not just angry—he’s terrified.
