"[Let's leave it to our leader, guys. Let's step back~]" Kai said in telepathy, so the three stepped back, except Zaykee.

, I sassed causing him to chuckle slightly. Everyone knew we were friends, but that was all. We couldn’t be spotted hanging out in a way more than friends do or they’ll get suspicious and I did not want to cause a ‘wolf-human’ war 4 due to petty love issues. “I’ll leave you to it then”, he stepped back and took a small bow, “M’ladies”. Then he left. Waving at his retreating figure, his sexy butt caught my attention, the way it moved, God, he really had a sexy butt.

I made my way down to the back of the shopping complex and stepped inside. There was a lot of music going on, but the moment I stepped in the music stopped and all eyes were on me .

I looked up to see Evans coming down the stairs with a glass of wine in his hands. "Nice to see you too, Evans. You have surely added some meat." Jaxon’s comment would leave Snicker of laughter across the room from everyone.

He grabs another drink from a passing guy and hands it to me. I take it without thinking. We clink cups. This time, I don’t hesitate when I drink. Because if that really is Evan— If the guy I just fought with… The guy who still gets under my skin like no one else… Is he actually my stepbrother now? Then this isn’t just messy. It’s war and I’m not walking away this time. I step outside a few minutes later, the cool night air hitting my face hard. It should help but it doesn’t.

He took a final sip of the cold coffee and set the mug down. “I’m going to step back,” he said, his voice quiet but clear. My eyes widened. “Step back? What does that mean?" “From all of it.

He stepped off the bed, his legs slightly unsteady, and walked back to the circle of men. He didn't look back at me. He didn't look at his brothers. He just stood there, his chest still heaving, and picked up his glass from the floor.

“I stood there for a long time.” A pause. “Then I walked out.” Silence. “And I never went back.” Emma blinked slowly. “What about… the videos?” Stephanie gave a faint, tired smile. “I made sure I wasn’t powerless anymore.” A pause. “I sent him something too.” Emma didn’t ask what.

Ste-phen literally scream when the plush finally dropped into the prize slot. He reached for it and gazed at the toy with so much trump. "I got you! I got you!" A light laughter tore through his throat, then he immediately paused. Wait. Did he just laugh? He looked around, Mason wasn't back. Thank Goodness his little mate wasn't here to witness that kind of reaction from him. Ste-phen could barely remember the last time he laughed. He glanced down at the toy. This damn toy. However, at a slightly tall building a man all covered in back, held his sniper professionally.

The next time I saw Chase Reed, it was at a little guesthouse in the Rockies. I'd just finished feeding my son breakfast and was wiping his mouth when Chase came out from the kitchen carrying a tray. Our eyes met. I saw his pupils dilate in shock. Three years had passed.
