That left only Theodore. I touched the letters. My hand jerked back as if I'd been burned. The tears came anyway. I turned my back to him. I wiped my face. I took a breath. I shifted. My claw dug into the bark. I dragged it through our names until they were gone. When I was done, I shifted back. I turned around. I forced a smile. "Theodore. Stop chasing me. Please. You found your fated mate. Isn't that enough?" "You thought waiting for me would move me? I already have a mate. Our pup is almost seven."

"I want three days. Give me everything on Blue Moon—their illegal suppressants, the back-alley surgeries, and exactly how they've been draining the pockets of the poor through medical fraud. I want them to spit out every cent they've stolen, along with a side of blood. As for that accomplice from the Glen Pack... do whatever you want with them." "Got it!" Seven nodded enthusiastically. He tucked an ultra-thin laptop under his arm and vanished into the LA night like a ghost. Nobody would have guessed that this kid was "7"—the genius hacker who had brought the global banking system to its knees three years ago. Seven had always carried a look of natural aggression. Because he'd experienced an

Her lips trembled, but no words came out. Mrs. Cunningham stood to the side, wanting to curse at me, but not daring to. Seven years of marriage. Twenty years of friendship. In the face of betrayal and lies, it had all become worthless. I had nothing more to say. I turned, ready to leave this nauseating place.

"Do you even hear yourself? You're doing all that for a dead woman?" Samuel's head snapped up, his eyes blazing with wild resolve. "How many times do I have to say it? She's not dead. I will find her!" Meredith thought coldly, 'And even if you do, so what?' Samuel squeezed Meredith's throat, glaring at her. "If you tell her any of this, I'll take both your kidneys!" Meredith clawed at his arms, wheezing. Terror filled her eyes. "You… you wouldn't…"

He signed a check with a cold, bitter smile and flung it at me. “Fine! Your best friend says drinking will kill you. Hope this money will be enough for you to buy a plot in the cemetery.” I leaned down and picked up the check from the floor with trembling hands. “Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Abbott.” When she saw me stumble, Jade stepped toward me with a look of concern and offered her arm like she actually cared.

Even destined mates couldn't escape the seven-year itch. The love I'd held with such certainty—its collapse only took an instant.

It was a flat no, sharp as a slap. Still, I didn't give up. Over the next seven or eight years, I asked her dozens of times to make it official. She said yes… seven times.

My phone buzzed again. I almost hit decline without checking, assuming it was Leo again. But when I glanced at the screen, I saw it was a friend calling.

My ears were playing tricks on me, weren't they? The sound was coming from Seven's study. It wasn't just any sound. It was Seven groaning with pleasure. Rhythmically, I heard some "gawk gawk" noises. "Fuck! Yeah, that's right. Suck it like a lollipop!" Those were the words I heard Seven say. Unwilling to believe my ears, I tiptoed to the door and opened it quietly.
