though.’ Akira said bluntly. And as much as | hate to admit my wolf is right, she is right. It had shockedthe

said, moving back a little more, but suddenly sounding a little less anxious now, and as | turned to meet his
gaze, he was offeringhis hand. | slipped my hand into his, and his hand took mine into a tight embrace,
softly stroking the top of my hand with his thumb. Such a simple motion, but one that gavegoosebumps. We
began to make our way up the stairs to where our rooms were. “You know Zion is talking to Akira, right?” Asher

said, nerves so evident within his tone. And as he passedthe phone, the screen lit up. It was
filled with missed calls and messages. From him. Miles. My sister had given him my number, and he was back in
