Jack’s fingers dig into my waist, his breath hot against my neck, but I refuse to let him think he has the upper hand. My eyes burn with fire as I glare at him, my jaw clenched so tight I can feel the tension in my bones. How dare he?
How dare he act as if he wasn’t the one who sent Fury after me—who ordered him to bring me back by any means necessary, or else face death?
Normally, I wouldn’t have cared. Fury was just another warrior from Blood Fang, someone I would’ve left behind without a second thought. But the moment I looked into his eyes, something shifted. There was something there—something familiar. And the thought of him dying because of me… it didn’t sit well.
That’s why I came back. Not for Jack. Not for this pack.
And certainly not because of this damn mate bond.
