CHAPTER 93-2
Part of me wanted to cool off and rest, to put this entire mess behind me and pretend it had never happened.
But another part of me, a darker part that I didn’t like acknowledging, wanted to defy Darius. I hated that he thought he could control me, hated that he assumed I belonged to him just because he had helped me. Who was he to tell me who I could and couldn’t see? Who was he to decide what was best for me?
I reached my room and slammed the door behind me, leaning against it and trying to catch my breath.
My hand was still stinging from slapping him. I looked down at my palm, seeing the slight redness where it had connected with his face.
I had never hit anyone like that before. The violence of it shocked me, but I couldn’t bring myself to feel guilty about it.
He had deserved it.
I walked over to my bed and sat down heavily, running my hands through my hair. Everything felt like it was spinning out of control.
First Killian showing up in my room and making me feel things I didn’t want to feel. Then accidentally trapping a pack member because I couldn’t focus on anything except memories of Killian’s touch. Now Darius acting like he owned me and had the right to control every aspect of my life.
I was tired of being treated like a prize to be won or a possession to be protected.
I flopped backward onto my bed, staring up at the ceiling and trying to calm down.
That’s when I saw it.
The crumpled ball of paper sitting on the floor by my window. The note that Killian had written last night before leaving.
I had thrown it across the room in anger, but I had never actually thrown it away.
I stared at it for a long moment, feeling something twist in my stomach.

I should throw it out. I should forget about Killian and his stupid note and focus on getting my life back to
normal.
But as I lay there looking at that crumpled piece of paper, I found myself remembering Darius’s words.
“You belong to me.”
The memory of his possessive tone made my anger flare again.
I sat up and walked over to where the note had landed. I picked it up slowly, feeling its weight in my hands.
It was just a piece of paper. Just words written by an arrogant Alpha who thought he could seduce me into

doing whatever he wanted.
But it was also a choice. My choice.

Darius had made it very clear that he thought he could make decisions for me. That he could decide who! could see and where I could go and what I could do.
Maybe it was time to show him that he was wrong.
I unfolded the note carefully, smoothing out the wrinkles I had created when I threw it.
The words were written in Killian’s confident handwriting.
“I’ll see you in two days. I’ve got something that I know you need. Want to know what it is? Meet me there. And wear something light.”
Below that was an address in the neighboring pack’s territory.
I stared at the words for a long time, feeling tempted in ways I didn’t want to examine too closely.
