Awakening Dom Kane

Kane POV:

I didn't know what to feel. Grateful? Grateful that Dean had arrived in time to stop me from making the worst mistake of my life—taking advantage of Elena in her condition? Or furious? Furious that he had taken her away, leaving me to wrestle with the haunting guilt and a volcanic rage I couldn't seem to extinguish.

She was mine. My mate. My responsibility. And yet, in her most vulnerable moment, I'd nearly let my wolf consume her, nearly let the heat drive me to the brink of ruining everything.

And Dean. That bastard. He didn't take her out of concern. No, he saw an opportunity to get under my skin, to play his twisted games, and he seized it with both hands. He always had a knack for exploiting weakness. And right now, my weakness was her.

I needed to find them. The thought of Elena in his hands, in her vulnerable state, made my wolf howl in anguish.
