| felt my body slam against the leather seat as Ethan shovedinto his Midnight Maybach. The familiar scent of

his car-leather and his Alpha musk-filled my nostrils, bringing back

unwanted memories.

"Letgo!" | shouted, struggling against his iron grip.

My wolf surged forward, lendingstrength. | 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!" | 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."

| 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. | remembered

our first there, when | had desperately needed money for Lily's treatments. | had gone to

Stone Pack Enterprises, and he had takenin 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?" | 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.

1 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 becmy sister."

"And?" | 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 tellyou still think | love you and want to

be with you?"

His eyes widened slightly, surprise flickering across his face.

"| welcthe adoption," | continued, my voice gaining strength. "It will sever any possibility of a relationship

between us. | couldn't ask for anything more!"

My wolf howled in agreement within me, standing firm against his dominance for perhaps the

first tsince we'd met.

(Ethan's POV)

Her words hitlike a physical blow. My wolf snarled beneath the surface, refusing to believe

what we were hearing.

"I'm adding both Emma and Lily to the Stone family registry tomorrow," | said, trying to regain control of the

situation. "Consider it compensation for my past neglect."

| watched her face, expecting gratitude or at least acknowledgment of my gesture. Instead, her expression

hardened further.

"Lily doesn't want it!" she cried, her voice breaking. "She never wanted anything from you except your tand

love, which you never gave her!"

Her wolf's grief was palpable, filling the confined space of the vehicle.

"All those gifts you gave her over the years," she continued, her voice trembling with emotion, "were they just

Emma's hand-me-downs?"

The accusation stung, partly because there was truth in it. | had often bought matching gifts for both girls, giving

Emma's to her first.

My anger escalated, my wolf's dominance surging forward. "You haven't moved on, Olivia. This is just jealousy

speaking."

Her emerald eyes flashed dangerously. "Jealousy? Of what? Your neglect? Your betrayal?"

"Whose pack would Lily prefer to belong to?" | challenged. "Mine or Lucas Blackwood's?"

The mention of the rival Alpha was deliberate, meant to provoke her. It worked. "Any pack would be better than

yours," she spat. "You were never fit to be Lily's father."

Her next words cut deeper than any knife could have. "My greatest regret is that night five years ago. | wish |

had never fallen in love with you. | wish | had never conceived Lily."

Her wolf howled in anguish at the admission, the painful truth of her words filling the confined

space between us.

(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 kissedforcefully, attempting to assert his dominance as my

Alpha mate.

| struggled against him, turning my head, but he heldtight with his superior strength. | fought with

everything | had, keeping my lips pressed firmly shut, my body and wolf radiating

repulsion.

| could sense his confusion as he felt my genuine disgust. In the past, no matter

how angry |

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!" | 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 | 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

beceven more aggressive. His Alpha pheromones filled the confined space, attempting to

force my submission.

His hands gripped my shoulders painfully as he pushedagainst the seat, his
