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

"Irene," I said in a stern voice. "Release her."

I felt Irene's arm waver, but we both knew she didn't have the power to go through with her threat. Instead, she released Cam.

Maeve drew herself up to her full height. "And here we all thought your witch was powerless," she hissed.

Clearing her throat, Cam brushed herself off. "She is," she said before offering a soft smile.

"My father said you were so powerful you could command the wind with your pinky. But for now, that is all you can do."

Irene tossed her hand experimentally and frowned. "And now it appears that I cannot even do that. I hope you found whatever it is you are looking for. I am now defenseless against the other witches."

Narrowing my eyes at Maeve, I snarled. "Give me one damn good reason why I shouldn't kick you and your witch off my land right now, and don't you dare tell me that she was acting of her own accord. I saw you signal to her to attack."

You Belong To Me
