“We have to stop this,” I whispered.

But as we drew closer, Alina’s gaze sliced in our direction; the smirk twisted in her face told me she knew we were there.

Alina said nothing to Rowan, but the smirk deepened as her eyes lugged in our direction.

But Alina moved in closer, brushing her hand against his arm.

“Don’t doubt yourself now,” she purred. “You’ve come this far. You deserve this.”

Rowan had nothing to say, but in the silence that fell, his words

resounded loud.

Soon we got back to the pack house, I entered my room and nearly punched the wall as I slammed the door shut..
