I felt my body slam against the leather seat as Ethan shoved me into his Midnight Maybach. The familiar scent of his car–leather and his Alpha musk–filled my nostrils, bringing back
unwanted memories.
“Let me go!” I shouted, struggling against his iron grip.
My wolf surged forward, lending me strength. I managed to twist my body and kick him
squarely in the chest. He grunted but didn’t release me.
My enhanced senses detected someone walking nearby. “Help!” I screamed, hoping they
would hear me.
Ethan’s reaction was lightning–fast. He slammed the car door shut and locked it with a click,
then activated the special tinting that turned the windows completely opaque from the
outside.
“Scream again,” he threatened, his amber eyes glowing with dominance, “and you’ll regret it.”
I was trapped. His werewolf strength far exceeded mine, and we both knew it. Anger surged
through my body, my wolf bristling beneath my skin.
This soundproofed luxury vehicle had once been a place of passion between us. I remembered
our first time here, when I had desperately needed money for Lily’s treatments. I had gone to
Stone Pack Enterprises, and he had taken me in the underground parking garage.
Now, despite his proximity, my wolf felt nothing but cold detachment. The mate bond that had
once burned so brightly between us had withered to almost nothing.
“What is your problem?” I asked coldly, my emerald eyes flashing with defiance.
“You need to convince my grandmother to abandon this ridiculous adoption idea,” he
demanded, his voice hard with authority.
I didn’t hesitate. “No.”
His jaw tightened, a muscle twitching beneath his skin. “Do you understand what this means?
If she adopts you into the Stone family, you’ll legally become my sister.”
“And?” I challenged.

“It will permanently sever any possibility of renewing our mate bond,” he growled, his wolf’s
frustration evident in his tone.
A bitter laugh escaped my lips. “Ethan Stone, don’t tell me you still think I love you and want to
be with you?”
His eyes widened slightly, surprise flickering across his face.
“I welcome the adoption,” I continued, my voice gaining strength. “It will sever any possibility of a relationship between us. I couldn’t ask for anything more!”
My wolf howled in agreement within me, standing firm against his dominance for perhaps the
first time since we’d met.
