Aidan.
What the hell was going on between the two of them?
A dark, suffocating tide of jealousy surged through my veins as I watched the uncharacteristic warmth pass between them.
Why was Maria smiling at him so genuinely?
That soft, radiant smile was something she had completely withheld from me, yet here she was, bestowing it upon Damien as if he hadn't played a part in her pain.
What exactly had Damien told her to break through her icy exterior and get her to smile like that?
Damien, clearly controlled by the primal urges of his wolf, stepped forward again without a second thought. Driven by the instinct to claim, he reached out and grabbed Maria firmly by her waist, pulling her flush against his chest until there was no daylight left between them.
The sight shattered my restraint. My heart instantly ached with a sharp, agonizing pang, and before I even realized what I was doing, I rushed forward, grabbed Maria, and yanked her completely out of his embrace.
