“Taya, what’s this…”
I looked to the side, into the mirror in the foyer.
S hit . I hadn’t noticed that my neck was full of hickeys.
I quickly covered them with muy hand and lowered my head

“Did Beta Starke force himself on you?”

She remembered how Beta Starke had looked at Taya as if he
were looking at prey.
Yesterday, Harper had wanted to talk to Taya about what
happened, about her worries regarding the Beta, but she was
busy with the mating ceremony and caring for Damian’s pack.
She got sidetracked every time she thought about it.

“Taya, tell me the truth. If he forced himself on you, I swear to the goddess I’ll kil l him.” Harper’s wolf started to rise to the surface, her protective instincts for her sister making her start to see red, her vision changing and becoming her wolf’s.
As soon as Harper thought of Taya being assaulted, especially by someone who had every advantage over her not just because they were a man but also a shifter, she became furious and rolled up her sleeves, her claws coming out and hair starting to pop out of her forearms.

She’d been feeling like something was wrong with Taya for a few weeks now, and it made her uneasy. Taya kept telling her everything was fine, and Harper couldn’t get anything out of her, so unless she was prepared to start a fight by calling her
best friend a liar, Harper didn’t really have any other choice.
but to let it go and let Taya decide when she would share
whatever was going on.
Taya squeezed Harper’s hand. “Don’t worry. If I decide to marry him, I’ll bring him to you, okay?”
