Addison's eyes filled with fresh tears at his cruel words. But despite the fear clawing at her chest, she held firm.

"Yes, Alpha Zion," she choked out, her voice shaking. "Your father saved my life from the vampires three years ago. He suffered a fatal injury because of it. And I promised him—I swore to help you stabilize this pack as your chosen mate until you could stand on your own." She lifted her tear-streaked face, locking eyes with him. "But if you kill me now, wouldn't that make his sacrifice meaningless?"

For a moment, silence stretched between them. Zion's breathing was ragged, his grip still firm—but something flickered in his eyes. Something dark.

Then, before Addison could react, his lips crashed against hers. The force of the kiss stole her breath, her body frozen in shock. Never—not once—had she imagined this would happen.

Zion's hand traced along her cheek, gliding down to her neck until it reached her collar. His fingers brushed over the mark he had left, his touch lingering as his gaze darkened with intent. Slowly, he pulled away, his glowing eyes never leaving her.

Ripped!

"Ugh!" Addison thrashed against him, struggling to break free, but her strength was nothing compared to Zion's—like an ant trying to move a boulder. Her resistance didn't even make him flinch as he continued tearing through her dress.

Zion pulled his cold, thin lips away from hers, leaving only a breath of space between them. His golden eyes burned with intensity as he spoke, his voice rough with unrestrained desire.

"Tell me you're not leaving." His jaw tightened, muscles twitching as his grip remained firm. "I won't allow it."

Conflicted emotions stormed inside him. He was supposed to hate her—hate her for causing his father's death three years ago, for leaving their pack vulnerable, for shattering his mother's heart so deeply it nearly killed her.

He was supposed to despise her. And yet, from the very beginning, all he had ever felt was an undeniable pull toward her.

Yearning.

Hunger.

A primal need that clawed at him to claim her, to make her his mate, the mother of his pups. But the past had carved a deep wound inside him, leaving behind a mental block that caged his instincts—until now.

He had once suspected that she was his fated mate, only for Addison to react differently. That was the reason he left his pack and joined the war as soon as the marking ceremony was over. He was afraid—afraid that mating with her would make him forget his hatred, that he would lose himself in her.

He, a born Alpha, a warrior bred for battle, was terrified—not of his enemies, not of death, but of his own feelings. So he ran. He ran from this weak omega.

How laughable was that?

Desire and hatred tangled together inside him, blurring the lines between what he felt and what he refused to acknowledge.

And now, hearing Addison say she was leaving him—dissolving the mate bond that bound them together—he lost it. His wolf lost it. Shura rebelled, thrashing against his control, and for the first time, Zion couldn't even control himself.

No—he wasn't even trying to stop Shura anymore. He let their desire consume them.

"Addison, say you won't leave me."

His voice, unexpectedly soft, almost pleading, sent a shiver through her. Addison froze. For a moment, she thought she had misheard him. She stopped thrashing, staring at him in shock. Her lips parted, but no words came out.

Before she could even process what was happening, Zion's lips crashed onto hers once more.

He kissed her deeply, hungrily, as if he were trying to consume every breath she took. His left hand found its way to her breast, squeezing it possessively. Addison gasped, her body tensing at the unexpected touch, but Zion only smiled—a slow, satisfied smirk.

'This is what my mate feels like... her soft body, her intoxicating scent.'

His glowing eyes darkened with desire as he inhaled deeply, filling his lungs with the fragrance that had haunted his dreams. Without hesitation, he plunged his tongue into her mouth, silencing her startled protest.

Addison clumsily pushed against his chest, trying to break free, but her strength was nothing compared to his. She needed air—needed to think—but Zion wasn't giving her a chance.

And yet... her body betrayed her.

'Damn this mate bond!' Addison thought.

"Ah!"

'No.'

Then—rip!

"Zion—!"
