He chuckled, the sound low and mocking. "You're in my territory now, Felicia. Shouldn’t you be more careful where you wander?"
I stiffened, my fingers curling into fists. I recognized the voice now. Elias Blackwood. The Alpha of the neighboring pack. Ruthless, cunning, and the last person I wanted to see tonight.
The dim glow from the city lights filtered through the curtains, casting shadows across his sharp features. His dark hair was tousled, his golden eyes gleaming with something unreadable.
I swallowed hard. "I made a mistake. Just let me leave."
He tilted his head, as if studying me. "Benedict doesn’t deserve you."
My heart lurched. "How do you—"
"News travels fast, Luna." His voice dripped with something I couldn’t place. "Or should I say, former Luna?"
Anger flared inside me. "I didn’t come here for this. I don’t need your pity, Elias."
"Good." He stepped back, giving me just enough space to breathe. "Because I don’t offer pity. I offer revenge."
I blinked. "What?"
A slow smirk tugged at his lips. "Benedict betrayed you. You could run and hide. Or... You could make him regret it."
My pulse pounded in my ears. "And how exactly would I do that?"
