247 Taken
Even Olivia.
My arms around her.
It was full of need. Hunger.
“Exactly,” I said, sitting up straighter. “And why would someone send us a warning if
there wasn’t truth in it?”
“Where’s Rebecca?” he asked.
She didn’t say anything.
And there he was.
But she didn’t.
And just for a second, Olivia’s face flashed over hers. 3
Lennox frowned. “Yeah… I remember.”
Not angry. Not annoyed. But really worried.
And here I was… kissing someone else.
“Sofia…!”
My eyes widened, and my wolf growled angrily inside me.
Then-“Shit!” he cursed loudly, just before the call ended.
I gently moved her off my lap, careful not to be rough.
Just walked in and sat down across from me, both looking as drained as I felt.
Then the door suddenly swung open.
I glanced at Lennox, then at Louis. “She’s not here,” I said calmly.
I exchanged confused glances with my brothers, but Damien was already moving
towards the door.

Damien’s face hardened. “My opponent. One of the Alphas contesting against me,” he ground out, his voice trembling.
I looked between them. “What do we think now? That Damien is forcing her into this
marriage?”
Her lips moved with mine, and a low sound left my throat–a moan I didn’t even mean
to let out.
She just stared at me… and for a second, I couldn’t even breathe.
“By who?” Louis asked quickly.
Then suddenly–I blinked.
Her fingers ran through my hair, and mine moved to her lower back, then down.
The room stayed quiet, heavy with all our thoughts.
A cold shiver ran down my spine.
Just this.
Before we could ask what was going on, his phone rang.
I finally broke the silence.
His eyes darted around the room, sharp and impatient.
I could tell my brothers were just as tense as I was.
I swallowed hard and turned away, walking out of the garden without looking back.
And when I kissed her… it was like something inside me snapped.
Pacing.
We couldn’t hear what the person on the other end was saying, but we saw the way his face changed.
Louis nodded. “He looked panicked.”
A soft knock came at the door, and seconds later, Lennox and Louis stepped in without waiting for permission.
They both nodded, and the room fell quiet again.
We kissed desperately. Our tongues tangled… fuck, it was so intense my stomach flipped–there it was, that rush of butterflies.
Louis met my eyes. “Are you saying we need to step in?”
Then, without another word, he turned and walked out.
I froze.
It was so fast, but so clear.
I leaned forward, resting my elbows on my knees, staring at nothing.
She pressed against me, and we kissed again–deeper, harder, like we couldn’t get enough of each other.
“Do you remember that letter?” I said quietly. “The one that came before all this… about saving Rebecca.” 1
She didn’t say anything.
We all stood up instantly, our bodies going stiff.
Her hands on my chest.
Before I could speak, a guard burst in behind us.
Why?
I stood up and took a step back, avoiding her gaze.
What was happening to me?
I paused, my voice quieter.
