A tense air of silence transpired between us; our eyes locked onto each other. Neither of us moved. Neither of us faltered. It was a test to see who’d blink first. Who’d be the first to look away?

I was the first. Because I got bored. As I turned to leave his office, he said something that stopped me in my

tracks.

“You never answered my question from last night.” I heard a shuffle before my footsteps. When I turned, I saw Neron was less than a foot away from me, his blue eyes firm. “Who are you?”

“I’m sure Anthony told you who I was.” I shot back, crossing my arms underneath my chest. “Or does your barbaric mind need a refresher?”

“I know the basics about you, Kiya. Your position, specialty, and age. But there is more about you I need to know.” His eyes narrowed. “My wolf goes crazy whenever I see you. Almost as if he knows something I don’t.”

“Then ask him.”

“I can’t, which is why I’m asking you.” His breathing became arduous. “You look like someone that used to be a part of this pack. She was…” He cleared his throat. “… someone who didn’t get what she rightfully

deserved.”

“So, you miss this person so dearly that you think that I am her?” It was laughable. An uncontrollable throng of laughter erupted from my throat, spilling into the air between us. I laughed until the point of tears at the utter absurdity of it all. This man, my ex–mate, was a shell of his former self and it was hilarious..

Where was the unstoppable Alpha now? Where was the one who didn’t hesitate to mark me for death? Who didn’t mind slapping the crap out of me? Where was that Neron?

“This isn’t funny, Kiya.”

“Oh, I think it is.” I wipe a stray tear with a finger before facing Neron again. I soaked in his appearance, his height, and his build. Everything about him. I stood strong and confident in front of the eyes of the ‘feared‘ Alpha, observing his ocean blues. Once upon a time, these eyes caused me great fear. Each night in that cell, the void in these eyes held the wrath of a vengeful god, casting judgment upon my battered body, soaking in the blossoming purple.

Blue is the color of his hatred. It swam in his eyes for the longest time. Now, blue is the color of his cowardice and his inadequacy. There was nothing to fear with these damned eyes. I felt nothing. Not the preordained sparks, not the stillness one would have when seeing their mate, and not the uncontrollable flames of desire

be around them.

His pain was all I was able to beat. My heart thudded against my ribcage, threatening to shatter my lungs and bones to escape the pain it’s subjected to.
