Iwas holding it, somehow—the worn old blue plushie she never let go of.
“Knox.”Rogue’s fury drew me up. I turned to find him stepped nearer. “Give it back.”
My lips drew in a snarl.
Never.
She was mine.
Not Rogue’s.
Not Ace’s.
Why couldn’t she understand that?
I couldn’t share her with him—that was never on the table. Never possible.
She didn’t knowwhathe was.
But she’d taken a step back, a low wail beating down my eardrums: absolute panic. Each piercing sound drove the knife deeper, making the edges of my world hazy.
Before me, teal eyes made of nightmares were burning, and Rogue’s fist closed in my shirt.“Give. It. Back!”
“You’ll never see her again, Rogue,” I hissed. That wasn’t… Ishouldn’tbe saying that. She… she trusted me—hadtrusted me.
Why did I care?
This was about him, not her.
He had broken me. He deserved this. Every second of it.
Rogue shoved me against the wall. The world stuttered, time flickering again.
Frosted moonflower was thick in the air, laced with terror.
She was curled up on the floor, back against the bed, hands over her ears as she shook.
I couldn’t hear her screams anymore, but the echoes of them shook me to the bone. Lava scorched my veins, control vanishing.
I launched at him, gun forgotten—madness swallowing me completely.

THISTLE
They were both going feral.
Rogue had Knox’s shirt in his fist, again, trying to reach for what Knox held. Knox snarled, shoving Rogue a pace.
Bunny…
They were two Alphas, both on the brink of insanity, the last smouldering edges of the envelope before everything within caught fire. I needed to settle them, that was what I was supposed to bemadefor.
A hiccup caught in my chest that was shrinking down tighter and tighter, and a tear burned my cheek.
I hugged my knees closer, eyes catching on Bunny, who swung from Knox’s fist, held away from Rogue.
Take him away…?He’d said.Both of them?
