"Just because Jackson broke off the mating agreement doesn't mean that the Sterling pack will allow him to do so. He'll be my brother-in-law sooner or later. Don't even think about getting him to fight against

Once he was gone and the door was closed behind him, I heaved a deep sigh of relief.

Every time I faced him, my body filled with an indescribable pressure.

I wasn't sure if I was afraid of him or if I was fearful that I wouldn't be able to control my feelings for him.
