Eric's lips brush mine, a slow, light action that already has me hooked. A comforting warmth engulfs my body, spreading from limb to limb like wildfire. His sweet lips move delicately with my own, the caress of his lips softer than I could have imagined. It is over too soon as he drifts away. "Now was that so difficult?"

While trying to see the best in everyone, Isabella finds herself battling against her own mind. After an attack on her pack, she has to choose between her newly discovered Alpha mate and her beloved, younger sister. Her heart is in the palm of his hand--though she struggles to admit it--but that doesn't mean he won't crush it. It is a game of trust, and she cannot afford to lose.

/"You were trying to hurt me, weren't you?/"

Olivia begins to sob. /"I'm not this type of person, and I don't do things like this./"

Eric was all I had, he is all I have. I've been trying to get him to see that we don't have to be mates to be together, but then you show up, and he forgets I exist. You have what I want, and I'm desperate./"

Confused, I stand up straight. /"What are you talking about?/"

She wipes the stray tears from her cheeks. /"I want to fight for him./"

/"This is crazy, you're obviously very upset right now, and you're not thinking clearly.../"
