• The engine roared to life as I slid into the driver’s seat, the cold leather creaking under my weight. I gripped the steering wheel hard enough to feel the ridges bite into my palms, staring out at the snow-blanketed drive like it held answers.

For making me feel like I was the one begging for scraps when I was the Alpha, the one who was supposed to have control.
