When the fever finally broke, I opened my eyes and saw Hugh sitting in a chair by my bed, worry written. all over his face. “Amanda, thank goodness you’re awake,” he said.

My mind was still foggy. The darkness and suffocating air in that elevator rushed back to me like a wave. I shivered before I could stop myself.

“I’m fine,” I said softly. “Sorry for worrying you.”

Hugh reached out and touched my forehead. When he confirmed that my temperature was normal, he finally relaxed. “Don’t say that, kiddo. I didn’t know you had claustrophobia. From now on, I’ll make sure nothing like that ever happens again.”

I grunted faintly. Not many people knew about my fear of closed spaces. It hadn’t shown up for years; I thought I’d beaten it.

But this time, I realized I might never escape it.

Alice’s voice sighed inside my mind. “It’s my fault. I should’ve steadied your wolf spirit. You shouldn’t have had to suffer like that.”

I shook my head internally. It wasn’t her fault. That fear came from something much deeper, something too old and painful to erase.

Hugh’s voice pulled me back. “Amanda, if you want to eat something, just tell me. I’ll have them make it for you. You need to rest and get your strength back.”

“I know, Hugh,” I said quietly.

For the next few days, I stayed home to recover.

Hugh arranged for the Ortegas brothers to take turns looking after me. Josh didn’t talk much, but he brought fresh fruit and Stellune books every day.

Alan, who was always busy with his music tours, still stopped by with desserts whenever he came home. He’d grumble, “Such a hassle,” but there was no real annoyance in his eyes.

Only Samson. Every time he comes, he brings a tonic the housekeeper makes. He doesn’t say much, but he always seems to know what I need.

And yet he’s the one I least want to see.

The moment I see him, that ridiculous kiss from Ziecson and the warmth and scent of him holding me in the elevator rush back, flooding my mind.

My first kiss with a boy and my first time being carried in the hand of a man were both with him. He was an alpha who makes me tense and strangely nervous.

That afternoon Samson walked in with a bowl of mushroom soup. His voice was low. “The housekeeper made this. Eat it while it’s hot.”

I was holding an old Stellune book and flipping through it. When he spoke, I only mumbled, without looking up. The words on the page blurred. From the corner of my eye I saw him standing by the bed. He didn’t leave right away.

“Are you back to school tomorrow?” he asked.

“Yeah.” I kept my head down and rubbed the edge of the page without thinking. My heart beat faster for no

reason.

He was quiet for a few seconds, like he wanted to say something but stopped. “Make sure you eat that. I’m heading out,” he said.
