“No buts.” Iva pulled out her phone. “Do you want him? This is the question. Do you want Attia?”

Lori’s throat tightened.

“Yes.” The word came out as a whisper. “Yes, I want him. I told you. I fell for him.”

Iva nodded.

“Then leave it to him to decide.”

She started typing.

Lori’s eyes widened in panic. “What are you doing?”

Iva didn’t look up.

“Something you didn’t have the courage to do.”

She pressed send.

Lori’s voice trembled. “What did you do?”

Iva met her eyes.

He had been unable to sleep for hours. His body was restless, his mind churning with thoughts he couldn’t silence. His wolf paced inside him, agitated and demanding.

“We said we would take it slow,” Attia replied, though the words tasted hollow even to him.

“You are a fool.”

Attia closed his eyes.

“I hate slow.”

Attia’s phone pinged.

It pinged again.

He reached for it, annoyed, ready to silence whoever was disturbing his restless night.

*Attia, it’s Iva. Lori is in heat. She didn’t want to call you because she’s afraid you’ll feel trapped. She’s an idiot. She needs you. Don’t make her go through this alone. Come. Now.

Attia’s blood ran cold.

His heart stopped.
