I stared at him, wondering if this was a ploy. Soon, some pack members or maybe Cassidy herself would jump out of nowhere and laugh at me, claiming I had fallen for their trick.

He steadied me on the ground, reluctantly letting me go, although his hands were still wrapped around my waist.

“Don’t look so surprised, Lyla,” he said gently finally letting me go.

The door to my room was still ajar, and this man… the last person I expected to see–was telling me to my face that he was ready to let go of Cassidy, let go of his relationship, his duties, everything that had been an obstacle all along because of me.

“What do you mean you’re not getting married tomorrow?” My voice came out as barely a whisper because my mind still struggled to process his sudden declaration.

“I’m not getting married tomorrow,” he repeated, his golden eyes locked on mine. There was no hesitation in his gaze, no waver in his voice. He sounded sure of what he was saying.

I didn’t know.

“I can’t marry her, Lyla, his voice was husky, filled with an intensity that weakened my knees. My lower abdomen pulsed with want but I ignored it. “Not every time I close my eyes, all I see is you. Not when my heart has belonged to you since the moment we first met.

“D–Did you call it off or something?” I stuttered, trying not to think about his scent filling up my nostrils, sending warm tingles within me. He placed one hand against the wall beside my head effectively caging me and my breath caught in my throat.

The heat – his scent radiating from his body was intoxicating, making it impossible for me to think straight. Our faces were inches apart, and I could see the flecks of green in his amber eyes.
