SOPHIA

Sophia chased Slater down two flights of stairs, but he was too fast for her. He reached the ground floor as she rounded the top steps. Slater thrust open the apartment building doors so hard as he stormed out, the glass transom above shattered. Shaking and clutching her aching ribs, Sophia ran up to her apartment, fumbled with her keys, and slammed the door shut behind her before sinking to the floor.

She’d lied to Slater. For the first time since she’d met him, she’d lied to him and with such disastrous results.

That tall shifter had warned her at the hospital, quite convincingly, that her presence was endangering Slater, that his pack would kill him if he continued to see her. She’d thought she could ignore the warning, knowing that Slater could protect himself, but then his brother had entered the diner as she’d struck up a conversation with the cook. The shifter had kept his eyes on her, his entire expression darkening as Slater had led her back to their booth.

Fear had taken over, pushing aside her growing belief that somehow she and Slater would make their situation work. Slater never noticed his brother standing at the front of the diner, glaring at her as if it would kill her—which she had no doubt he would. One look at the hatred pouring off of him told her as much.

She’d never been so scared, not even when her father had beaten her or when Banks had tried to rape her. For as strong as Slater was, not even he could defend himself against an entire pack and she was no match for any shifter especially one hell-bent on getting her away from Slater. At that moment, Sophia knew she had to drive Slater away while the shifter was watching, so he could report back to his pack that Slater was no longer involved with her. It was the only way of saving Slater’s life, and maybe her own.

Yet she’d messed that up, too. She should have simply told Slater that she wasn’t interested in him. He would have left, peacefully.

Telling him she wasn’t interested in him was something she could not bring herself to do because every part of her wanted Slater in her life. She’d become flustered when he asked what she’d lied about, and nothing had come to mind. Then Slater had put several of the pieces together, drawing some right and some wrong conclusions. She’d never known Michael’s plans for Slater, not until she’d overheard the conversation between Michael and that shifter in the woods after Slater’s pack had attacked the compound.

She should have told Slater about the shifter in the woods as soon as she’d woken up in the hospital, but so much of what she’d gone through had been a jumbled mess in her head at the time.

Now, Slater thought she’d lied about everything, and she had no idea how to fix it.

Or if she should.

She had intended to push him away, to keep him safe. He believed her to be a traitor, maybe that was for the best.
