Kasia hesitated at the door of Ethan's office, her hand hovering over the doorknob. The last time they'd spoken, they ended up passionately making out in his car, which left her breathless and confused. A shiver coursed through her body as she remembered the feel of his strong arms around her and the taste of his lips.　　'You should just let him bend you over the desk. That's what you really want,' the voice within her mind taunted her. Kasia couldn't help but blush at the thought. What was she, a silly schoolgirl? With a deep breath, she forced her mind to focus on the present and pushed the door open.　　"Kasia," Ethan greeted her, his piercing eyes meeting hers as he straightened up from behind his desk.　　"Hey Ethan." Her voice was barely audible, betraying her unease. "You wanted to see me?"　　Ethan's gaze never wavered from Kasia's eyes, making her feel more exposed than ever before. She could almost feel his thoughts probing into her soul, searching for answers that neither of

　　"Kasia, please come back!" Brian called out, but she was already down the hallway, her footsteps echoing off the walls. She didn't hear him. The only thing that was on Kasia's mind was getting as far away from Ethan as possible.　　"What is going on? Why do you need Kasia?" he asked as he waved Brian into the room as he fixed his shirt. Ethan took a deep breath, trying to get the lust he was feeling for Kasia under control. This had to be important for Brian to want to tell him information in person.　　"Because she needs to hear what I have to say," Brian replied gravely, closing the door to Ethan's office with an ominous click. "But maybe it is best that she doesn't find out now. It will give you time to decide what you want to do next. You should sit down for this." He gestured toward a chair.　　Ethan's heart hammered in his chest, but he remained standing, unwilling to yield even an inch. "You must have found out what the pills are made of. Is it worse than I originally expected?"

　　Kasia's eyes narrowed as she assessed the situation. The rogues were sizing her up like a piece of meat, their intentions clear in their hungry gazes. She knew that even in her Lycan form, she couldn't take them all on alone. But backing down was not an option for someone like Kasia Thorne.　　"Nice night for a swim, isn't it?" One of the men sneered. "You look like you could use some company."　　"Thanks, but I prefer swimming solo," Kasia replied, her voice laced with disdain.　　"Aw, don't be like that," another man chimed in. "We're just looking for a little fun, and you're exactly what we're looking for."　　"Find it elsewhere," Kasia growled. The burning sensation surged through her body again, causing her to almost double over in pain. What was happening to her? Why was she still feeling like this? Why did the rogues not smell as bad anymore?　　"Feisty, aren't you?" The third man taunted. "I like that in a woman. Let me quench that burn you're feeling."　　Kasia's heart raced as sh

　　'I didn't think you had it in you,' her wolf said. Kasia's lips left Ethan's neck as she pulled away, her eyes glinting with a hint of satisfaction that turned into horror. What had she done? She just moved and found herself biting him.　　'I didn't know what I was doing,' Kasia responded. 'I would have never marked him.'　　'Sure you didn't. I didn't make you bite him,' her wolf countered. Kasia's heart was pounding in her chest, and her breath came in short gasps as she began to back off of Ethan. She wanted to get away as far as possible from him.　　'No, you started this. We are going to follow through,' her wolf said, and Kasia felt as if she no longer had control over her body again. She wanted to warn Ethan about what was going to happen, but the feeling she had felt before when touching Ethan had only intensified.　　Ethan watched her warily, his eyes darkening as he registered the change in her demeanor. He could see by her eyes changing colors that she was speaking with her wol

　　Kasia's eyelids fluttered open, the dim light of the room slowly coming into focus. The scent of Ethan lingered in the air, a cocktail of cedar and musk that sent shivers down her spine. She was clearly wearing one of his oversized t-shirts as it was a long as a night gown on her.　　As she moved to get up, a dull ache spread throughout her body, reminding her that the wet dream that she had about Ethan wasn't actually a dream. 'Did we really have sex like wild animals in the woods?' she thought.　　"Girl, we rode him like a rodeo last night," the voice in her head chuckled, clearly amused by the situation.　　"You don't have to remind me," Kasia groaned, her irritation momentarily overriding any lingering embarrassment. "So, you're my wolf. That is still odd to say. Who are you? What is your name?"　　The voice paused for a moment before answering, a hint of sadness creeping into her tone. "I don't remember my name or anything about my previous life. All I know is that I was angry, in
