Tat go, you’re hurting me, I hissed, struggling to keep pace with his long lindes as he led me toward a less coded sorrhea.

I don’t want to make a scene. There’s already enough gossip about us,

Once see reached a secluded sien, Sebastien backed me against the wall, or hand planted beside my head, the other still grise wise Tace was inches from mine, close enough that I could feel his hot breath on my skin.

Don’t get sucked in by those damn eyes. Remember what he’s done,

‘I truly underestimated you,” he said, a cold smile playing on his lips.

His fingers dug into the soft flesh of my waist, and I winced at the sharp pain. But I refused to show weakness.

“Iris Stone,” he growled, “I’m warning you–we’re not officially done yet. Don’t do anything that would damage the Grey family repotation

I couldn’t help it–I laughed. The irony was too much. “Like you haven’t done exactly that, Sebastien? Over and over again?

His eyes narrowed. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Exactly what I said.” 1 met his gaze unflinchingly. “If you can’t follow your own rules, don’t try to enforce them on me.

I watched his face darken, his jaw clenching so tight I thought he might crack a tooth. But beneath my defiance, I felt a flicker of satisfaction. For once, I was standing my ground.

“You’re being ridiculous,” he scoffed, but I could see the anger building in his eyes. “At least I maintain some dignity. Do you know how the pack views this kind of behavior?”

“I’m doing exactly what you’re doing,” I shot back. “We’re no longer connected, Sebastien. Your date is waiting for you. Please go back to her.”

I pushed against his chest, trying to create some space between us. When that didn’t work, I ducked under his arm and stepped away, straightening my dress with as much dignity as I could muster.

I won’t let him see me break. Not again. Not ever.

I walked away without looking back, taking deep breaths to steady myself. By the time I reentered the ballroom, I had composed my features into a mask of casual indifference.

Every eye seemed to turn toward me as I walked in. I could feel their stares, hear their whispered speculations. I kept my chin up, pretending

not to notice.

In the shadows near the staircase, I spotted Sebastien, his tall figure radiating cold fury. Even from this distance, I could feel the weight of his stare, the Alpha energy rolling off him in waves.
