---- Darkness pulled me under. All I wanted was one night of sleep. Just one. But even that... was too much to ask for. I was wrenched awake by a brutal tug. My eyes snapped open. Gary stood over me-his face pale, his expression wild. But the moment he saw I was awake, his panic vanished. It twisted into fury. "Why the hell did you post about our marking online? " His voice cracked like a whip, cutting through the fog in my head. " My voice was hoarse. My temples throbbed I... Ididn't..." ---- Gary's eyes blazed. "Do you even realize what you've done? Jane is being torn apart online. The whole pack is calling her a homewrecker! She just had surgery, and now she fainted from the stress!" I forced myself upright. "I didn't post anything. Check my phone-check my logs..." But he wasn't listening. "The reporters said it was you. That you paid them to leak our bond. You're still holding a grudge, aren't you? I thought you'd changed, Nadia. But you were just waiting to stab us in the back." Something inside me cracked. Not because of his words. But because of how quickly he believed the worst in me. Before I could even respond, he yanked me up by the ---- arm. "You're going to apologize to Jane," he snarled. "On your knees."
