I woke with a sharp inhale and stared at the pale light spilling through the window. It was already morning. I’d wasted another night.

“Damn it.”

I threw the covers back and swung my feet to the floor. Hunter’s side was cold again, which meant while I’d slept and drifted in the afterglow of last night, Hunter and Nathan had likely been planning without me.

Maybe they’d moved their precious April to safety.

I stood under the shower spray, scrubbing off the sticky heat clinging to my skin. What happened with Hunter last night absolutely wasn’t happening again until after the full moon. I couldn’t afford to lose control like that.

With the sun up, my head was a little clearer. Shame crept into my head. The memory of what I’d almost done twisted something in my chest.

Could I really have attacked April? The idea unsettled me, and in the light of day, it was obvious how much the moon was already affecting me.

After the full moon…

I cut that thought off. I’d relied on that phrase too much. Even my wolf believed we’d be fine, but complacency got people killed. I had to cover all the bases.

I dressed quickly in jeans and a T-shirt, tugged on a hoodie, and ignored my hair again. Dresses were easy access. Too dangerous to wear around Hunter. Was it too late to ask for some sort of chastity belt? Or chains to…

My mind flickered. Chains, restraints. I shoved those thoughts away and left the room.

Nathan’s house was unnervingly quiet. Half the familiar auras were gone, including Hunter’s.

I paused near the front door and inhaled deeply. His sandalwood and orange blossom scent lingered faintly. He’d left the house. To calm his beast down? And tangled with Hunter’s scent was Nathan’s pine.

And April’s.

My senses sharpened instinctively. Her heartbeat was steady. Strong. The trembling omega from last night was gone. How convenient.

With my jaw tight, I marched down the hall, following Nathan’s scent, keeping my wolf leashed. I wasn’t going to argue. I had a solution, a reasonable one. A few days elsewhere for April and her family while they confirmed her link to the Lycan King. It wouldn’t hurt anybody. I wasn’t being irrational.

I nearly turned towards the other wing when the sound reached me. Soft Rhythmic.

Moans.

My gaze snapped towards the playroom. Surely he wasn’t-

I stepped lightly down the hall, heat creeping up my neck when I recognised what was happening. I should have turned away immediately. I wanted to. But the pull wasn’t the sound, it was the room itself. The playroom.

The door stood slightly ajar, as if Nathan didn’t even care who saw him. I knew he didn’t care.

I pushed the door open wider.

And froze.

April was suspended in the swing. Restrained, immobile, completely at Nathan’s mercy. Her body glistened with sweat and cum, her skin was flushed, and her expression pulled me in. She was undone. Her pleasure was humming in the room. Nathan moved her with deliberate control, every thrust measured, every motion completely dominating April.

She looked like she was in another world. Unreachable.

Nathan’s body was impressive. Broad shoulders flexing, muscles working smoothly, but it wasn’t his physique that held me there:

It was the dominance. The way he used her. The way he owned her.

A flicker of something dark and unwanted stirred in my chest. Would I look like that if Hunter restrained me?

Nathan lifted his head then, his eyes already on mine. Gold bled into his eyes as the air thickened with lust and desperation. With need, sex, and magic. He didn’t stop. He thrust one last time and then held her there until she shattered, gritting his teeth as April rode the wave. And then he pulled out, grunting as he finished.

Only then did my brain catch up.

Shit.

I turned and fled, leaving the door open behind me. I didn’t stop until I reached the lounge, slamming the door shut and bracing my back against it. Mortification burned at the back of my throat and flushed my cheeks.

When did I become that person? I dragged my hand over my face and crossed the room to sink into the armchair, curling my feet under me. It had only lasted seconds, but I couldn’t stop replaying it.

Why had I stood there like a fool?

Where had all my confidence gone? Hadn’t I just marched down to demand we send April away? As if it were my house. I had no right to demand anything.

Minutes passed before the door opened again. Nathan strolled in fully dressed, hair damp, calm as ever. April’s scent still clung to him.

I untucked my feet and straightened instantly, with my hands on my lap, falling back into Mother’s training. Chin up, eyes forward, mask on.

“I apologise,” I said quickly. “That was rude of me.”

Nathan chuckled as he settled across from me. Only then did I notice the scroll still on the coffee table between us. I’d been so focused on what I saw that I lost sight of my priorities.

“You don’t need to apologise, Your Highness,” Nathan said lightly. “It’s not as though I haven’t seen you naked.”

Heat flared up my cheeks again. The humiliation wiped out my fake confidence, and I dropped my gaze.

Nathan sighed and leaned forward.

“It hasn’t been long since April shifted, too,” he said. “Tensions were high. In all of us.”

I nodded, grateful for the out he gave me, even as I fought the urge to wring my hands. Mal would be disappointed in me if I showed any sign of meekness. I’d worked hard to break old habits. A few days back in this world, and I was forgetting myself.

“What do you want to do, Kathrine?” Nathan asked at last, gesturing to the scroll.

“I want to stay here,” I said. “Until the threat passes. Until everyone backs off and lets me live my life.”

“With Hunter?”

The question was quiet, but I felt the weight of it. The disappointed undertone.
