Chapter 12 Unwanted Wants

• Reese POV
• I run inside the mansion, my feet pounding against the polished floors, echoing like my frantic heartbeat. The door slams behind me, but I don't stop—I head straight for my room, desperate for a locked door, for space to breathe away from their overwhelming presence.
• God, they are already closing in on me; I can hear their skates scraping off the ice outside, turning into heavy footsteps chasing me through the halls. My wolf whines inside, torn between fear and that treacherous pull, but I push forward, my lungs burning.
