I flinched.
He grabbed his jacket from the couch and headed for the door.
“Daniel, don’t walk out,” I said.
He didn’t look at me.
He opened the door.
And he left.

Daniel walked out of the room so fast the door rattled. I stood there staring at the empty doorway, feeling
numb.
My hands were shaking. I kept looking at the phone he had shoved into my palm, replaying that video I still couldn’t believe existed.
Me. Pressed up against Mark. Kissing him like I had been waiting for him.
It made no sense. Nothing in me understood it. My wolf didn’t understand it either. She was quiet, not guilty, just confused. I kept whispering to myself, Why Mark? Why would I ever touch him?
I tried pulling my thoughts apart, step by step, hoping something would click. But every time I reached for the memory of last night, I hit a wall. I remembered leaving the house angry.
I remembered shutting the mind–link. I remembered wanting space. After that, it was empty. A blank spot that felt too deliberate.
I walked out of the room slowly, trying to breathe normally. Daniel’s scent was faint down the hallway. He was still inside the packhouse somewhere, probably trying to calm down or destroy something.
I didn’t know which. His reaction had been raw. I could feel the disappointment rolling off him even after he walked away.
I left the house because staying there made my skin crawl. I thought fresh air would help. It didn’t. The more I walked, the more confused I became.
Then, out of nowhere, a strange pull hit me. It was light at first, like a nudge in the center of my chest. I stopped walking. The pull stayed.
I didn’t recognize the feeling. It wasn’t pack–bond related. It wasn’t a call from my wolf. It felt foreign, yet it somehow guided my steps. I followed it without thinking, which now annoyed me.
I should have turned around, gone home, confronted Daniel, done something rational. But I didn’t.
The pull kept leading me until I ended up near a small eatery at the edge of town. The kind of place no one from Carter Holdings ever used.
I didn’t have a reason to be there. I stood outside the glass door, trying to understand why the hell I had been drawn here, when the door opened from inside.

Mark stepped out.

My entire body froze. For a second, I actually felt that same pull again. It centered on him, which only made my stomach twist harder.
I didn’t feel anything toward him–not even anger–buthe reaction came anyway, like something inside me responded before I could think.
Mark looked just as confused to see me. He stopped in front of me, hands half raised. “Amy,” he said. “Hold on, wait–don’t go.”
I should have gone. I knew that. Every logical part of my mind said he was the last person I should be anywhere near. But the pull made me pause. I hated that I paused.
“It’s not what you think,” he added.
“I don’t even know what I think,” I said. My voice
ounded flat.
He let out a long breath and stepped aside, motioning toward one of the outdoor tables. “Can we talk?”
It was awkward as hell. My wolf growled low in my head, but she wasn’t angry–she was unsettled. That bothered me more than anything.
She should have been furious. She should have been ready to tear him apart. Instead, she stayed silent, almost watchful.
I sat down because
Sing there felt worse.
Mark sat across from me. For a moment we didn’t say anything. The noise from the street felt distant, like it wasn’t real.
He leaned forward a little. “You look like hell.”
“I guess that makes two
of us,”
I said.
He gave a small tired nod. “You don’t remember last night.”
It wasn’t a question, but I answered anyway. “No. Nothing. Just pieces. And none of it explains that video.”
His eyes flicked away. “You weren’t yourself. I wasn’t either.”
“That doesn’t excuse anything.”
“I didn’t say it did.”
We sat there staring at each other, and the longer I looked at him, the more unsettled I felt. Being near him. felt wrong.
But I wasn’t angry. That was the worst part. I wasn’t even disgusted. I was just… blank. Confused. Like something had numbed part of me.
I pushed my chair back a little. “Mark, did you know someone recorded us?”
He shook his head. “No. When I saw the angle, I realized the camera was placed before we even got there. Someone wanted to use that footage.”
