My wolf clawed at my ribs, demanding I sink my teeth into that golden skin and claim every single inch of her. Damn it!

Aria's presence lingered in my thoughts, a mix of concern and longing tugging at my heartstrings. Part of me yearns to reach out, to offer solace and support, but another part holds back, paralyzed by the fear of rejection and the weight of guilt for the role my family has played in her suffering. The internal battle raged on, leaving me torn and unsure of the right course of action. Right then, just as I'm grappling with my own inner turmoil, Sophia's call interrupts, injecting another wave of frustration and annoyance into the mix. It's like a sharp jab to my already tende

She keeps her posture straight, a contained smile on her face, but I know a storm is brewing beneath that calm exterior, waiting to explode. And so am I.

I could see the internal struggle in his eyes, the conflict between his pride and the undeniable reality of the situation. My heart raced as I watched Jake's expression shift, his gaze flickering between the assembled witnesses, his options narrowing.

Several more Outsiders had revealed themselves from all around the cottages, letting out such hateful cries. Delmar and Malachai engaged the fray side by side as they desperately slew all foes who approached them with hostile intent. With each opponent that they struck down with their weapons, the two of them could feel their inner warriors beginning to rise to the surface in their hour of need.

My skin crawls at the thought of baring his disgusting mark. Crow's large toned body is almost identical to Trent's, and that makes my worry only grow. They are as even as my mate was to Gunnar. Trent attacks first, and Crow dodges in the nick of time. He swipes at the womanizer's black pelt but also misses. Trent strikes again and lands a hard blow to Crow's head. Crow stumbles, and Trent attacks. He claws Crow's face, and when Crow lifts his arm to block, Trent latches onto it.

Anna grumbled, “What about us?” Liam’s expression darkened even further. Suddenly, he squeezed her butt cheek hard. She let out a soft groan in pain. “Hamilton, what happened?

Hurt, Anna struggled and pushed against his hefty body, but her efforts were all in vain. “Anna struggled against him externally, yet internally, she yearned for him.

It was as if the very act of breaking things was a cathartic release, a way to externalize the turmoil within me. The room became a battleground, the casualties of my anger strewn across the floor.
