"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.

Yet the thought that should have disgusted me now merely sent a shiver down my spine. A pleasant one.


I could still feel him inside me, could still taste him on my lips. My body ached in places I never knew could ache, but the pain was oddly satisfying—a physical reminder of what we'd shared.


"You're trembling," Kaelen whispered, his fingers trailing along my bare arm. His touch was gentler now, almost tender compared to the primal force he'd unleashed on me moments ago.


"Regrets already?" he asked, his voice dropping lower. There was a dangerous edge to his question—as if he was daring me to say yes.
