I picked up my compact mirror with trembling hands. The reflection staring back at me was a shadow of my former self. My left ear still couldn’t hear properly, and the bruises on my face had turned an ugly yellow–green color.

But I couldn’t let Marcus see me like this. Not completely broken.

I applied lipstick with shaking fingers, trying to restore some semblance of dignity. The bright red color looked garish against my pale, injured face, but it was better than nothing.

Even in this pack enforcement facility’s medical wing, even as a prisoner, I needed to face him with whatever composure I could muster. This might be my last chance to reach him, to make him remember what we once had.

The pack nurse approached my bedside. “Miss Rivers, you have a visitor.”

My heart hammered against my ribs. After all this time, he had finally come.

The nurse drew back the privacy curtain, and there he was. Marcus Blackwood stood in the doorway, his imposing Alpha presence filling the entire space. His devastatingly handsome features seemed even more commanding than before, if that was possible.

Those golden eyes surveyed the scene with calculated coldness. No warmth. No recognition of our shared past. Just the detached assessment of an Alpha evaluating a fallen pack member.

I forced a bitter laugh, trying to mask the desperation clawing at my chest. “I thought you wouldn’t come.”

He remained silent, his expression unreadable.

“They say you have a terminal illness,” I continued, unable to stop the words from spilling out. “I’ve been wondering if it’s some kind of Moon Goddess’s retribution.”

The hint of dark satisfaction in my voice surprised even me. If I was going to suffer, why shouldn’t he?

Marcus stepped closer, unmoved by my words. His Alpha authority radiated from him like heat from a flame.
