Chapter 94 Ninety Four

• Ariel’s POV
• The car door shut behind us with a soft click, and I helped Ryan out of the car like he always needed—smooth, steady, careful. But the moment I sensed where we were parked, it felt like my breath was stolen. My wolf erupted, full-on panic mode: ears flat, tail steeled, heart hammering in all four chambers. He wasn’t just tense—he was furious , unsteady, furious at my heart even for hesitating.
• I bit down on my teeth, trying to keep from losing it. “What’re we doing here?” I choked out, voice low. I could barely keep the panic from bleeding through.
