I slipped into my room, shutting the door behind me with trembling hands. The moment I was alone, I let Ragnar's jacket slide from my shoulders, though his scent lingered on my skin like a possessive caress. My composure – the mask I'd worn so carefully all evening – crumbled as I sank to the floor, my back against the door.
The pain in my injuries was nothing compared to the turmoil in my mind. Make the East kneel. The words echoed like a bell.
Help him bring down Kane. My former husband. My former Alpha. The monster who had ruined in so many ways I didn't realize until I was out of his clutches.
I wanted nothing more than that.
And yet…
I had been so consumed by my need for revenge, I let it push me to do things I would never have done yet I was not prepared for this.
