The Man Who Chose Me

CHAPTER 306

~Tempest's POV~

(Present Day)

I hadn't heard from Ryland since that night—since Koda walked away, breaking my heart in the process. I wasn't sure what to think anymore.

Had Ryland backed out too? Had he decided, just like Koda, that I wasn't worth the fight?

The silence had been deafening.

And now, as I stood in front of my mirror, adjusting the deep emerald-green gown that hugged every curve of my body, I made a decision. I wouldn't let this uncertainty consume me.

I had a life. A purpose.

Stormborn Creations, my company, needed my attention. It wasn't just a fashion house—it was a foundation. 

A place where werewolf females, especially those cast aside, could find strength again. 

Women who had suffered under oppressive mates rejected wolves looking for purpose, young girls who needed guidance.
