The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back
This was the moment!
I pushed open the door, my eyes locking onto Evans' sleeping form. I smiled, a fierce victory burning within me.
And then, everything went wrong.
Evans' eyes snapped open, his gaze locking onto mine. He snarled, his body tensing, ready to spring.
I froze. My legs refused to move, no matter how I tried. Evans claws reached for my throat. I screamed out in pain.
Sterling was quick to respond. He burst into the room, a loud growl echoing through the hallway.
