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.
(Ethan’s POV)
(Olivia’s POV)
My words ignited a firestorm of rage within Ethan. His wolf surged forward as he grabbed my jaw with bruising force and kissed me forcefully, attempting to assert his dominance as my
Alpha mate.
I struggled against him, turning my head, but he held me tight with his superior strength. I fought with everything I had, keeping my lips pressed firmly shut, my body and wolf radiating
repulsion.
I could sense his confusion as he felt my genuine disgust. In the past, no matter how angry I
had been, my wolf had always submitted to his. But not anymore.
A flicker of panic crossed his amber eyes as he realized my rejection was real–my wolf was
no longer responding to his.
“Get away from me!” I hissed when he finally released my mouth. “Don’t touch me, I’m
disgusted!”
My wolf recoiled from his scent, the thought of him completing the mate bond with Victoria-
the woman I believed responsible for Lily’s death–making my stomach churn.
Ethan’s expression darkened further, a desperate need to disprove my words driving him to
become even more aggressive. His Alpha pheromones filled the confined space, attempting to
force my submission.
His hands gripped my shoulders painfully as he pushed me against the seat, his wolf
