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

"Breathe," I told Mira as we approached the house. There was a new SUV parked in the drive. My phone had numerous texts about Irving 's arrival. I responded with a quick on my way which was then immediately followed up with a slew of questions about where I was.

I declined to answer them. Mira and I had both managed to snag some clothes, but there was still some blood on both of us. Luckily, none of it was hers.

Or I'd ask a witch to resurrect Rhiannon and Kelly so I could kill them.

Rhiannon. Just the thought of her opened up a cold darkness inside of me. She was my third in command. How dare she betray me like this?

"You're not breathing. Irving will not touch you, but if you can't stand to be in the same house as him or even on the same land, just say the word. I'll find some place safe for you."

"So now you're concerned about finding me a safe place?"
