"Sterling, what have you done?"  I whispered, my voice trembling.  "He was just asking for help!"

My stepbrother's eyes, usually a deep emerald green, now glowed with predatory amber as he shifted partially back from his wolf form.  His breathing was heavy, primal.

"He was too close to you, Aurora.  His scent was all over you."  Sterling's voice was eerily calm as he wiped blood from his hands onto his dark jeans.  "No man approaches what's mine."

Mine.  That word made my skin crawl.  I wasn't his.  I was his stepsister, not his possession.

Chapter 39 - An Alpha's Unfamiliar Path to Affection


The Argent Galleria loomed before me, its glass façade gleaming in the late afternoon sun. I gripped my steering wheel tighter, unable to recall the last time I'd felt this... awkward.


Kaelen Sterling – Alpha, CEO, feared by many – sitting in his car like a nervous teenager.


"Get it together," I muttered to myself, finally exiting my Bentley.


The valet rushed forward, eyes widening in recognition. I handed him my keys with barely a glance, my mind already racing ahead to the evening I'd planned.

Only Seraphina could reduce me to this state. Only she could make me spend hours researching "romantic gestures" and even signing up for online relationship classes. If Lysander ever found out about those, I'd never hear the end of it.
