But before I could let that thought settle, a sharp knock sounded on the door. I opened and standing in the hallway was Alpha Kade. His eyes were dark, his face a mix of anger and desperation that scared me.

"Lysa, we need to talk now," Alpha Kade ordered.

My blood turned cold as I looked into his eyes. Alpha Kade had destroyed the comfort and warmth I had felt a moment ago. And I realized I couldn't stay that long here in the Red Crest, Alpha Kade would never allow it.
