She'd been so sure Nathan would never risk entering Landon's territory. Yet here he was-reckless, arrogant, walking straight into his enemy's domain... all for her.
He'd done it before. And he did it without hesitation, just to get to her.
Back when he was trying to turn her into his perfect Luna-Joanna-he laced her coffee with moonshade, drugging her into quiet obedience. He'd even used memory-reversal magic to warp her thoughts, making her believe she was the Frost Pack's Luna.
So what was his plan this time? How far would he go this time? With Nathan... there wasn't much left that would surprise her.

"It's not about hiding anything," she said quietly. "This is between meland Nathan No matter how bad it gets, I won't drag Landon into it."
Samuel went silent. How could anyone be like this? What's the point of having a boyfriend if you're not going to lean on him? "Whatever. I'm done talking." "Wow, seriously?" She wokeup in the middle of the night... And now she was just hanging up? Tessa didn't answer-she just hung up.
