It was Kane. I hadn’t known his wolf was black. His fur was pitch dark, and his eyes burned a deep crimson–just like the ones I had read about earlier today.

I locked eyes with him for a long moment. His wolf was massive, so imposing that if he ever revealed himself to others, no one would dare come near him.

He took a step toward me, snapping me out of my trance. I realized I had been staring at him too long.

Quickly, I averted my gaze and turned away.

“Let me shift. I want to meet my mate,” my wolf, Dominic, urged inside me. She only ever stirred when Kane was close.

I silenced her immediately. “No. He is no longer our mate.”

As I started to walk away, a low growl rumbled from behind me.

I turned my head just in time to see Kane’s wolf moving toward me. He was coming straight for me.

I froze as he drew closer, his presence overwhelming. My instinct kicked in, and I raised a hand in warning.

“Don’t come any closer. I’m not your mate. We’re breaking the bond soon.

I shouldn’t have said that.

Because the moment the words left my mouth, he lunged.

With one powerful leap, he tackled me to the ground.

Shock paralyzed me as I struggled against him, trying to push him off. But instead of attacking, he lowered his head and began licking my neck–right where Kane had marked me the night before.

“Stop it. Let me go!”

He ignored me.

I wasn’t sure if Kane was in control or if his wolf had completely taken over.

“I hate you, Kane! Get off me!” I shouted, my voice echoing through the trees.

At my outburst, he stilled. His head lifted, and he gazed at me with an expression that sent a shiver down my spine.

I swallowed hard.

Slowly, carefully, I lifted my hand and placed it on his head.

His crimson eyes fluttered shut, and he leaned into my touch, as if savoring the contact.

That’s when I understood–Kane’s wolf still saw me as his mate.
