“Ms. Summers, Mr. Quinn has already approved your resignation. He didn’t realize you were the one leaving. Should I let him know?” Hearing the news over the phone, Yara Summers lowered her gaze. “No. It’s fine. Just leave it as it is.” “You’ve been his secretary for four years.

The last time I mentioned my engagement to Walter Reagle, everyone in the room went quiet at first. However, after seeing Walter's annoyed look, they all started laughing. "Who still believes in old-fashioned childhood betrothals these days?" "Is Ms. Lawson feeling insecure?" I ignored their teasing. I just looked at Walter, who was lounging on the couch with his shirt collar open, showing off the lovebites on his neck and collarbone. My heart felt like it was being stabbed. The pain came slowly. "We were too young to agree to something so silly," he said. Walter looked up with a faint, mocking smile. He gave me a lazy look. "We're grown up now, Emma. "Let's just forget about the past."

"Jangan pernah pergi dariku, Suamiku. Tolong." Loura semakin mengisak. "Aku tidak akan mengecewakanmu lagi. Aku akan berusaha memperbaiki diriku untukmu." Tangan Berrand mengepal, menahan emosinya yang semakin terbangkitkan seiring dengan tangis Loura Quinn yang semakin mengencang. Hal tersebut mengusik ketenangan dirinya. "Tolong jangan tinggalkan aku, Sayang. Aku ak--" "Aku bukan suamimu, Loura Quinn." Berrand berujar tegas dengan nada dinginnya. "Omong kosong macam apa itu!" "Bagaimana bisa kau bukan suamiku? Kau yang menikahiku? Kau lupa dengan sumpah pernikahan yang sudah kita lakukan di depan pendeta?" Berrand baru saja ingin membalas, namun tidak jadi karena Loura Quinn mendekapnya lagi. Tangis wanita itu pun tambah mengencang. "Hiks." "Aku akan berusaha menjadi istri terbaik untukmu. Tapi, tetaplah mencintaiku. Aku mohon. Hiks." "Aku akan membuktikan padamu."

"Kau akan memberikan apa pun yang aku mau, Loura?" Pertanyaan tersebut diluncurkan begitu saja oleh Berrand. "Iya! Aku akan lakukan apa saja yang kau minta agar kau tidak bisa berhenti mencintaimu."

Anita," her angelic voice calls to me. Thunder rumbles in the distance. Her soft, delicate hands caressing my face, sparkling green eyes grounding me from the dark past I wish I could forget. "You're safe, it's okay." I bring my hand up, running my finger over the mound of scar tissue. The constant reminder of that night. The raised bump covers the bullet fragment embedded in my sternum. She takes my hands as more thunder rumbles and tears roll down my cheeks. "Breathe Anita," she says in a soothing whisper. My lungs were burning with the need for air and it was then that I realized I'd been holding it. I take in a gasping breath and recall the first time my eyes met her green eyes. My sister had been lifted off me and my eyes opening had startled her. The first time she touched me gave me strength to hold on. I held her hand tight, trying to tell her what happened, but couldn't get enough breath to form words. Sitting in the present going through the same as I had five years ago. "They were all found, Anita. They can't hurt you anymore. It's just a storm. All the doors and windows are locked, the alarm is set. It's just you and me." "Will you keep the light on tonight, please?"

His face turned to stone, and he grabbed my arm, dragging me into the janitor's closet. "I, Derek Thayne, reject Roxanne Meyers as my mate," he spat, and I snarled. "I accept your rejection." *** Alphas always have to be careful when it comes to their children; they are the perfect targets to the pack's enemies. No one was prepared though when the rogues attacked the Black River Pack and kidnapped the Alpha and his family. For months they were tortured, focusing mostly on the youngest child: Roxanne Meyers. Roxanne endured the abuse for months, constantly reminding herself that she was the daughter of an Alpha, that they would not break her. But one day she had no choice but to succumb to their demands. She returned to a pack that hated her; she killed their Alpha and Luna. Even her older brother turned on her. She became the lowest ranking wolf in the pack: the omega. Every attempt to escape the pack's abuse failed and her only hope was to find her mate. But her mate was none other than Derek Thayne, the son of the Alpha who took over following her parents' deaths.

But unfortunately for Roxanne, Derek was far from finished with his rejected mate. And he wasn't going to let the threat of war stand in his way.
