"Aku hanya tak terima diputuskan begitu saja. Aku bahkan tak tahu letak kesalahanku dimana." Steve memainkan kaleng sodanya yang sudah tandas. "Kau tak memiliki salah apapun," balas Lynn. Rasanya Lynn ingin mengatakan bahwa Rose memang tak pantas untuk Steve, Rose tak pantas mendapat cinta Steve. Namun, kalimat itu hanya menggantung di kepalanya.

What would you do if you've been saving yourself for your mate? Only for him to choose another Alpha Female right in your face? Reciprocate the act. Avenge. An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth. Easier said than done. Because whenever he was around me, my body betrayed me. "Alia, do you trust me? Even just for tonight?" His voice came out low and rough that it sent shivers of pleasure direct to my core. I know I should not trust him. But my mouth and body have a mind of their own. "I trust you, Gavin..."

I angled my head, giving him more access while a sultry moan escaped my throat when he started nibbling and sucking the soft spot where his mark should be. This was all wrong, but I don't want to be right this time. Just for tonight. ¨¨¨¨¨¨Book 2 of the Black Shadow Pack Series - The novel is stand-alone, however, to understand the characters deeper and the concept of The Claiming, I highly recommend that you read the first book HE'S MY ALPHA (completed).
