The ball blurred in my vision, bouncing erratically, almost as if it had a mind of its own. My hands felt disconnected from my body, slippery and uncooperative. My heart pounded, not with adrenaline but with a frantic, disjointed rhythm that made my chest tight and my breathing shallow. The stadium air felt stifling behind my helmet, the lights glaring down like a spotlight on my every mistake. My legs were heavy, like they were sinking into the polished wood floor. My head swam, the edges of my vision darkening as I struggled to focus. “Move, Elijah!” Lukas’s voice cut through the haze, sharp and commanding, but it sounded distant, as though he were shouting from underwater. Move. Move, I told myself. We were a few seconds away from winning or losing and with one right move, I could change the odds. I always did that, it was something that I was good at. But not right now, not in this state. I forced my feet to respond, to push forward, to do something. But my body betray

“What’s a beautiful woman like you doing alone in a place like this?” The man’s voice was smooth, low and confident.

Something within me stirred at his presence, I wanted to get closer to him, I wanted to know everything about him, my body seemed to burn from him and there was this movement under my skin

I woke up to an empty bed and an even emptier feeling in my chest. Ignoring the pounding headache hammering against my skull, I sat up and scanned the room, searching for any sign of the woman I’d spent the night with—Lenora. Flashes of her came rushing back: long, curly black hair, hazy green eyes, soft lips, and breathless moans. I groaned, dragging my hands down my face. I wasn’t surprised she’d left before I woke up. Hell, I half-expected it. But the disappointment that settled in my chest was deeper than it should’ve been. This wasn’t just post-hookup blues. It was… something else. Something I couldn’t make sense of. Lenora. I didn’t even know her last name. No idea where she worked or lived within the pack. Just a beautiful mystery who’d crashed into my life and left before I could begin to understand why she’d felt so important. Her scent still lingered faintly on the sheets—a mix of citrus and wildflowers. It teased me, fading by the second. My wolf stirred, claw
