I stiffened, realizing they were talking about us. Ethan’s hand tightened around my waist, and his voice rang out into the night, a sweet, sweet melody. “Of course I would.” I smirked as all heads turned to us. I surveyed the crowd of gawkers, taking them all in, reveling in their shock. Then I froze.…
“There’s no remote co-play on that island, Celeste. It’s a closed circuit for security.” Celeste blinked, lips parting like she was surprised he’d correct her. But she recovered fast. “Oh, right. Of course.” She stepped closer to him, her voice syrupy. “Anyway, about this weekend-my gala outfit isn’t finalized. It’s a huge deal-first public appearance…
“And I’m sure the presence of an Alpha with you will help immensely,” he added, quoting Ilsa.

Maya smiled, and her arms wrapped around me in a fierce hug. “You’re one of a kind,” she murmured. “And once it’s appropriate, my mate will treat you to a proper thank-you meal.” “I can’t wait to meet him.” She beamed. “I’m sure you two will hit it off.” SERAPHINA’S POV With Maya blissfully preoccupied…
“She lives,” she teased, setting the bag on the coffee table and offering me a cup. I accepted it with grateful hands. “What time is it?” “Late,” she answered, plopping down beside me. “But I’ll say you’ve earned the indulgence.” I raised a brow. “Really?” She smirked, shrugging. “Enjoy it while it lasts. Suicide drills…
Sera’s words had cut deeper than I let on, and since Kieran’s Beta so eloquently explained the dynamics of our rocky relationship, I couldn’t deny that I’d deserved them. “She’s fine,” I said instinctively. She exhaled. “So you’ve seen her? Things are better between you two?” My mother was too fragile to handle the brutal…
