Ivy’s POV
How did he even get into our company?
I tried to ignore him—tried to convince myself that walking away was the only way to keep my sanity intact. But the moment Connor’s hand wrapped around mine, pulling me into him, everything shifted. It was as though the storm raging inside me suddenly stilled, and for the first time since last night, I could breathe properly.
I fought the urge to lean into him, to draw strength from his presence, but it was futile. Deep down, amidst all the chaos surrounding Leo and me, a dangerous thought crept in: Connor was someone I could trust. He was my mate, after all… right? Could the past repeat itself? I didn’t want to leave Leo, but the nightmare I had—it felt so real. What if it wasn’t just a dream?
