"What?" Dakota asked warily.
"You're Dakota now," Kade said, his golden eyes holding hers with unwavering intensity. "Not whoever you were before. Not the broken version running from her past. You're Dakota, Luna of Nightshade Pack. My mate. My equal. And that means you're going to stand beside me as I raid Silver Ridge territory and take everything your father built."
Dakota blinked, thrown by the sudden shift. "What?"
"Your father is my rival," Kade continued matter-of-factly. "My enemy. And you're going to help me destroy him. Not because I'm forcing you, but because that wild, chaotic part of you that threw yourself in front of my car? That part wants to watch everything burn."
He smiled, dark and knowing. "So yes, I fucked you like an animal. Yes, I made you scream and cry and beg. And yes, I'm going to do it again. But I'm also going to give you something you've never had before, freedom to be exactly who you are without apology. Wild. Reckless. Impossible. And Mine."
