Kolton rose from his chair, his gaze locked on Kimi. When she stopped directly in front of him, her emerald eyes blazed with an otherworldly intensity.
"I warned you before, didn't I? I am fire itself. Come too close, and you will burn. Look at me carefully now. This is who I truly am. A Fire witch and an Omega. A hybrid."
Kolton found himself unable to look away. Her mesmerizing eyes held him captive, freezing him in place like a deer caught in headlights.
His mind raced back to that day at her home in the Thunder Growl Pack territory. The searing pain that had shot through his wrist when he touched her.
His eyebrows shot up as another memory surfaced. That same burning sensation when their hands had brushed in Logan's room.
How had he been so blind to the signs?
When Kolton remained silent, Kimi's attention shifted to her friends. Fear was written across their faces, and her heart sank. She had dreaded this moment, knowing they might reject her once they learned the truth.
