1 tried to keep my voice steady. Just give me some time to handle this properly.”
“Time? His laugh was bitter. “How much time do you need to accept that he chose another woman?”
The conversation continued for several more painful minutes before I managed to placate him with promises to consider his demands
After hanging up, I curled into a ball on my couch, pulling my knees to my chest. Rain began pattering against the windows-soft at first, then building to a steady downpour.

Carlon’s POV
Pain hammisted againat py temples bone had stuffed my weak and explaced my hood with woah Erred to as my eyes, but they used to congestate
“Fuck,” I muttered, forcing my eyelids apart despite their protest.
Sunlight stabbed my retinas. I slammed my eyes shut again, waiting for the wave of nausea to pass.
I forced my eyes open again, slower this time.
I jerked upright, instantly alert despite the pain splitting my skull. The sudden movement sent the room spinning, but that wasn’t what froze my blood.
I was completely naked. In a strange bed. With no memory of how I got here.
My muscles screamed in protest as I tried to move, aching like I’d been through a fight. But my mind was blank. The last thing I remembered was being at the family open party, drinking something Blair had handed me. After that-nothing.
A soft rustling sound drew my attention to my right. I turned my head, muscles tensing.
Blair lay beside me, equally naked, her hair a mess of tangles around her flushed face. Her violet eyes met mine, filled with something that looked like shy happiness.
“You’re awake,” she whispered, her voice breathy and intimate. “Last night… we…”
My blood turned to ice, then immediately boiled with rage. I sat up violently, fists clenched so tight my knuckles went white. The wolf inside me stirred, bristling with fury.
“We what?” I demanded, my voice a dangerous growl.
Blair flinched, pulling the sheet higher to cover herself. Her eyes filled with tears.
I searched my memory desperately. Flying here to the treatment center for the family open day party. Blair offering me some kind of fruit juice. I’d watched her pour it from a bottle, seen her take a sip herself. After that, everything went dark.
I grabbed her shoulders, shaking her hard. “Blair! Tell me what the fuck happened!”
She lowered her gaze, voice trembling. “Caelan, last night… last night we had sex. I know it’s sudden, but I…”
Her face crumpled into an expression of hurt, fingers clutching the sheet.
My head throbbed, thoughts jumbled and chaotic. I pressed my palm against my forehead, trying to clear the fog. When I attempted to stand, Blair suddenly lunged forward, wrapping her arms around my waist. Her bare breasts pressed against my skin.
I seized her wrist, squeezing until she went pale with pain. “Don’t touch me.” I didn’t even look at her as I stood and searched for my clothes.
Blair slid from the bed, completely naked, and padded across the floor. She pressed herself against my back, arms encircling my waist.
“We’re one now,” she murmured against my skin. “Last night was my first time. I’m so happy I gave myself to you.”
“Stay the fuck away from me!” I snarled, baring teeth that had begun to sharpen. “Put your fucking clothes on!”
Blair walked to the closet and pulled out a set of clothes, tears streaming down her face as she began to dress. Her clothes from yesterday were in tatters, scattered across the floor.
“I’ll be your mistress,” she sobbed. “I don’t need anything. You can marry Sable, I’ll just be on the side. I only want to be near you…”
I stared at her, disgust rising in my throat. “Blair, your body may have been there last night, but mine wasn’t. Whatever you think happened between us is a lie.”
“Caelan,” she whimpered, “your body was so honest last night. Why deny it now? We belong to each other. Are you going to abandon me?”
My hands shook with the effort of restraining my rage. “What did you put in my drink?”
“Nothing!” She lifted her skirt, revealing the inside of her thigh. Pointing at the bruises, she said, “Look at these. You left them on me when we were together. You said you’ve always loved me…”
I grabbed her throat, fingers tightening. “What. Did. You. Give. Me?”
Fear flickered across her face. She grasped my wrist, voice breaking. “If killing me would make you feel better, do it. I’d die for you.”
She closed her eyes, surrendering completely.
The rage consumed me. My partial shift continued; eyes burning gold, claws extending from my fingertips. I squeezed her throat harder, watching her face turn red as she struggled for air. Just as consciousness began to fade from her eyes, I flung her away. She crashed to the floor, gasping, my claws leaving shallow cuts across her neck that beaded with blood.
I ignored her theatrical sobbing and searched the room for my phone. I finally found it wedged deep in the sofa cushions, powered off.
I never turned my phone off, especially when away from home. Sable would worry.
Sable.
My stomach dropped as the screen lit up. Multiple missed calls from Sable. A string of increasingly worried text messages.
Where are you?
Are you okay?
Please call me when you get this.
Caelan, I’m really worried.
Are the photos online real?
Photos? What photos?
I opened the message from Edward. Screenshots from Blair’s social media-intimate photos of us together.
My blood ran cold. Sable had seen them.
I called her immediately, heart hammering. “Sabi, I’m sorry. My phone was turned off. Are you okay?”
Her voice was flat. “Where were you last night?”
“I’m sorry, baby. I didn’t tell you the truth because-“
“Just tell me who you were with last night,” she cut in.
I hesitated, weighing my words carefully. “I was with Blair-“
Before I could explain, Blair’s voice suddenly rang out behind me. “Caelan, I’m hurting. You were too rough…”
I heard Sable’s sharp intake of breath.
“I understand,” she said, her voice breaking. “We’re done.”
‘Sab-“
She hung up.
I stared at the phone, stunned. Slowly, I turned toward Blair, who still sat on the floor, watching me.
She crawled forward, wrapping herself around my legs. “Sable will never love you like I do. Forget her. I’ll be a good wife. I’ll do anything you want.”
I pressed my foot against her chest, pushing her away. “Blair, I gave you chances. This is your own doing. Not even Katherine can save you now.”
I sent a text message, then sat on the sofa, waiting. Minutes later, the door burst open. Edward stormed in with three elite warriors behind him.
They seized Blair immediately. x+
“You can’t do this to me- she started.
I nodded to Edward, who instantly injected her with a sedative. Blair went limp in the warriors arms.
‘Your Majesty, we’ll take her to the private jet and wait for you,” Edward said.
I nodded curtly. “Watch her carefully. Don’t let her have any chance to escape.”
