Addison's eyes filled with fresh tears at his cruel words. But despite the fear clawing at her chest, she held firm.
"Yes, Alpha Zion," she choked out, her voice shaking. "Your father saved my life from the vampires three years ago. He suffered a fatal injury because of it. And I promised him—I swore to help you stabilize this pack as your chosen mate until you could stand on your own." She lifted her tear-streaked face, locking eyes with him. "But if you kill me now, wouldn't that make his sacrifice meaningless?"
For a moment, silence stretched between them. Zion's breathing was ragged, his grip still firm—but something flickered in his eyes. Something dark.
Then, before Addison could react, his lips crashed against hers. The force of the kiss stole her breath, her body frozen in shock. Never—not once—had she imagined this would happen.
Zion's hand traced along her cheek, gliding down to her neck until it reached her collar. His fingers brushed over the mark he had left, his touch lingering as his gaze darkened with intent. Slowly, he pulled away, his glowing eyes never leaving her.
Ripped!
"Ugh!" Addison thrashed against him, struggling to break free, but her strength was nothing compared to Zion's—like an ant trying to move a boulder. Her resistance didn't even make him flinch as he continued tearing through her dress.
