He called me his ruin. Then he made me one. 

Alpha Shiloh's rejection wasn’t just a scar—it was a betrayal. He left me shattered. Broken. And I had to rebuild myself in silence. 
I almost forgot the way his touch once burned like salvation.  

Now he’s back.  

Not to beg forgiveness. To bargain. A deadly mission, he says. He promises freedom.

But then presence ignites my wolf into a frenzy. She thrashes, desperate to claim him again. But I remember the coldness in his eyes when he exiled me. The way the pack turned their backs as I crawled into the wilderness, half-dead and wholly broken. Hate simmers hotter than desire.

Yet here I am, bargaining with the devil who shattered me. Every moment we share is a lie. He doesn’t know about the shadows I’ve fed, the truth I’ve buried.  

Or the child.  

One whisper of its existence, and the pack will paint the forest with my blood. 

But the closer we get to completing his mission, the harder it is to hide… from him, or from the part of me that still craves him.  

Freedom has a price.  

So does vengeance.  

And I’m not sure which will destroy me first.

Mira: Her Alpha, Her Ruin

I knew that nothing was happening here, but just like when we were in that cave, the idea of Finn and Mira made sense to me and drove me mad.

Unless I fucked Mira good, and soon, I very well could go mad.

"You have got to get a grip," Mira muttered as she stood. Finn just flashed me a smile and stood as well. "Where do you want my bodyguard to be? Miles away?"

My gaze moved down to the hand flexing by her side. There was a crumpled note in. My note.

"What are you doing here?" Mira asked as she shoved the note in her pocket. "Besides apparently spying on your spy."

"Oh, he's not my spy. Yet. But I do need a word with him." I glanced around the apartment. I'd done all the clean-up work myself. It was only the second time I'd stepped into her apartment.

Both times, I'd hated every second of it. This was not where she belonged. She fucking belonged with me.
